From the journal of Kristogar Velo:
Believe it or not, this is only the third oddest situation I've been in on Christmas day.
I met up with the Sardella Brothers. Cicciotto was definitely the one who made ripples with a short speech to the cameras. This group seems to have a willing spirit. However, half of the six are suspected by Ron as having multiple personality disorders. Discouraging. They could easliy be marvels or failures in history.
While I was with my crew, I counted at least four other metahumans among the performers, and several others with criminal records. Should be an interesting situation, as everybody has something to hide.
I was wrong about one thing--it was 'Danny' that was the sixth member, not Beast. Mistake doesn't really mean anything, but I'll have to be perfect in the coming months(years?) for my plan to fall the way I want.
Among them, Nowhereman simultaneously encouraged and disturbed me the most. When it came to leadership, he was overqualified--fearless, and if he wasn't psycho, he'd be trustworthy for his ability to ask what needs to be asked.
However, it was strange when he punched me. The action didn't surprise me(alarms would have went off if one of them didn't take a swing at me), but the way he did it. I almost didn't see it coming. The way he used his weight in the punch--was a fighting style that I don't think has been used since at least over a century. He also seemed to expect me to roll with it as I did. It was like a pro...like me.
If these six are not the life of me, they will be the death of me.
