( 01 ) video.

[ when the feed clicks on, marduk is in what appears to be a ruined building near the edge of town. there's snow on the floor and holes in the walls, but he's not wearing a single scrap of winter clothing. more importantly, he doesn't look especially pleased to be doing this. ]

Recently, one of the locals here went missing. Don't ask me what his name was, I'm not the one who gives a shit. I'm just here to solve the mystery.

He's missing because he's dead, and he's dead because I killed him.

[ he pauses here. it looks like it's for dramatic effect, but really he's just trying to figure out how to end the announcement. ]

Most of you would call that murder, wouldn't you? Can't remember if you all figured out what to do about that, but-- if you want retribution, you can come and get it.

[ good enough. the video ends there. ]

Why did you think it was a good idea to bring this to the network at all? Why the panic?

( It's the thing that's even more ludicrous to Bruce. )

Finding out what happened, seeing people make what reparations they could, those are the kinds of things that might be doable here. We don't act on the Code of Hammurabi around here, and we can't afford to, so why the dramatics?

Addressing a network of people with elements known to have violent reactions toward people acting outside of what they consider right?

( He snorts, more of a half seen motion than a sound echoing across the area. )

Less than 24 hours after having a middle aged man and a teen boy ask after the legal owner to the property you were squatting in? Doesn't rate as much of a well considered plan.

You know what they say about the eldery. Get into all sorts of hobbies to fill in the spare time after retirement.

( ... he hadn't meant for that jest to be accurate. Oh well. He didn't sound particularly amused, outside of a general, grumbly sort of tone. )

Where are you going from here, with your appropriated crime and confession? You haven't planned this far. I'd be surprised if you'd even thought toward the future.
