[This communicator has been hacked.

Attached to the broadcast is the alias LUNATIC, a name some of you may have come to know by now, though most of you will not have. Not to worry, of course. There will be plenty of opportunity in the future...]

I have been watching.

[The speaker's voice has been manipulated to sound both artificial and faintly hollow.]

There are sinners in your midst. [You know their names, don't you? Perhaps some of them even spring to mind: Lucifer, The Manipulator, Annie Leonhart, Reiner Braun, Bertholdt Hoover...and so on. It's possible you even sympathize with some of them, though it's clear the speaker does not.] You answer their crimes with rewards of friendship, forgiveness...and freedom.

Foolishness.

[What follows is clearly exasperated, but spoken in such quiet tones that it forces listeners to be all the more attentive.]

As expected, heroes...your idea of justice...is weak.

But that is why I have come.

[The speaker pauses, perhaps for dramatic effect, for when he begins again there is a certain zealousness to his tone.]

My name...is Lunatic.

[Do not mistake him for a hero.]

I will strike down the evil that has arisen. For the wicked ones...there will be no escape. The time for them to atone for their atrocities is now.

They will hear the voice of Thanatos.

[Those listening closely may hear the crackling and hissing of flames in the background...it grows louder and louder before the communication is suddenly cut and the line goes dead.]

[OOC: Please note that icon links have been broken. This broadcast in no way reveals the connection between Yuri and Lunatic.]

Straight to insults...?

Should I wonder at why you're so terribly offended? Perhaps you have skeletons in your closet you wish to shed light upon.

I assure you, my closet has little but well-tailored suits and the appropriate complements of button-ups.

I'm quite fond of my collection, in fact.

Ah...dressing to kill?

To kill? Oh, no, no. I haven't a license to kill. But I do have one for administering psychiatric treatment.

And what is your judgment?

[He's just humoring you now.]

Well -- no psychiatrist worth his salt would fully diagnose you from the offset of just a few moments --

But. A partial one is fair game. Your assertion of justice as your dominion suggests something of a god complex.

Is that all?

Thus far. You could always submit yourself to a session with me, for a more detailed analysis.

You cannot perform your analysis here?

I could -- but I would prefer the security of my office. You wouldn't want others ti eavesdrop, would you?

You're offering me security?

[And people say he's touched in the head.]

Security, confidentiality -- comfort, even. Don't you require those things?

Not in the least. Do you?

Do you really want me to discuss my personal needs? In lieu of yours?

Simply clearing the air. If neither of us requires those things, what is to stop you?

There are certain narratives that body language exposes, and for a complete analysis -- yes, that would be beneficial. But, I wonder, are you truly eager for a distant analysis, one absolved from personable interaction, and why so?

Had I known you would take so seriously my humoring you, I might have found a better use for my time.

[Which neatly avoids those questions.]

Some part of you, at least, appears to enjoy that pageantry. The visual drama -- you have already exhibited a theatrical inclination. Would you disagree with that much?

You and I both know disagreeing with something you've already convinced yourself of would be pointless.

Are you feeling disempowered? Would you like to turn the tables on me?

Hm? No, that is not necessary.

Pageantry, as you put it, has a certain appeal, it is true. Warnings that are issued and accompanied by theatrics are, at the very least, memorable.

Do you intend for me to be made concerned, by specifically you?

A better question would be, is there a need for you to be made concerned?

I have no business with the innocent unless they stand in my way...but if there is sin in your past, it will be your downfall. I shall see to it personally.

Why should you, personally? What investment do you have? What has happened to the man who declares himself judge and jury?

Must something have happened?
