Becca, in a pink nurse's costume, was a blonde force of positive waving action.  She waved towards Mr. Metro--or the figure she suspected was Mr. Metro--while still deep in thought about the genesis of owls, owl-men, man-owls, and other wise flappy things.

Seeing her wave, Lucas lowered his hand and begin to move towards her with more purpose and energy, removing his other glove so that his metallic hands could be more easily seen. He also tugged down his scarf to reveal his stylized face and faintly glowing eyes. His head moved from side to side keeping track of the people around. When the crowd became denser around Daydreamer, he slowed but didn't stop his forwards momentum.

There was a bubble about five feet in radius around Becca where the snow melted, a preternaturally warm zone around her.  She hopped her way towards Mr. Metro, and she noticed his lack of owl features.  This was more of a robot, cyborg, metal hands metal face sorta... metal aesthetic, which was pretty far from being an owl.  It wasn't wise to simply dismiss out of hand that he could still be some horrific fusion of owl and machine, but given his human-like stature and lack of generally-prevalent owl features, she decided to shelve that particular concern for now.

"Hi!" she called out, once she got a little closer.  "I'm Nurse Joy."  Biiig wink.

Lucas tilts his head to one side and considers the nurse outfit carefully for a few moments before speaking in a deadpan voice. "Did you dye your hair then? I like it. Contrasts more with your uniform this way. I am Metro."

Bex raised an eyebrow for a second and swept her hair over her shoulder, investigating it for a moment.  "Uhm.... no, I've always been blonde," she answered, tilting her head to the opposite side that Metro had.

"Anyways, hi!  It's nice to meet you, Metro!  I was expecting, like, the Italian restaurant guy or the teleporty walky guy or maybe the lil' shrinking lady or maybe the super healing guy.  Do you have super healing?  Is that what's underneath the metal?"

She skipped away from the group, thinking back to Karl's and Stephanie's suggestions for her vis a vis meeting people.  There weren't any tables around, so it was probably safe.  "That would be pretty cool.  But I didn't hear about any robots, is the thing, so I guess Jimmy the Fish didn't know about you?  Or maybe he did and you're the super healing guy.  Or maybe you're actually an owl, just as I suspected all along, and you used your wily owl ways to avoid cameras and stuff, which would be really cool because it'd be, like... unexpected.  But I guess if you're a robot maybe you can convince cameras not to see you, too.  That would make sense.  You said you met Karl, right?  Did you meet Stephanie, too?"
