8th Trick - VOICE/TEXT/VIDEO FEED (Day of the Dead Guy)
[At 8:45 PM on November 3rd, this message is broadcast to all Import devices. The video shows a flickering feed of security cameras in some swanky lounge. As the camera shifts, six people can be seen in and around the lounge, in various emotional states:
- Abigail Hobbs
- Annie Leonhart
- Kate Kane
- Siegmund Heissenrech
- Anna
- Rampage
Finally, the voice of The Manipulator comes over the line.]
Attention, all Import citizens of Heropa. This is The Manipulator speaking.
Here, you can see there are currently seven people in the top floor lounge of The Lift in downtown Heropa. Six of them are innocents. Six lives. Six hostages who may be dead by tomorrow morning.
Unless one of you has the guts to save them.
[The camera feed flicks around appropriately to show the security system, the room's entrances and exits, and whatever else he talks about.]
Let's break it down nice and simple.
The lounge is secured by an alarm, doors and windows-- one that you won't be able to turn off without my knowledge or my help. If it goes off, the hostages will die. If anyone attempts to enter or leave the lounge, the hostages will die. If anyone sets foot on the 15th floor of this building without my express say-so, the hostages will die.
But you don't need to sit around and accept this loss of life. You can stop it. Only one person needs to die tonight to end this.
The seventh person. Me.
[And now the camera flickers to show a brief glimpse of a silhouetted person- someone in plain clothes, wearing a black mask over his face.]
One of you so-called heroes has fifteen minutes to get to the rooftop of this building. There, your only task is a simple one... you're going to kill me. Get rid of me permanently. End this hell of an existence of mine once and for all.
No mercy. No tricks. Just you and me and your powers, and the death that I was denied ten years ago.
[The shot goes back to the lounge and the hostages within.]
If your powers don't work on me, I'll understand. Nothing else has worked so far. And I'm really not unreasonable. We'll just have to try someone else. Every hour. On the hour.
And if some hour passes and nobody shows up to take me on, then one hostage dies. You've got six whole tries to figure this out before we run out of hostages.
But remember. I don't need to kill anyone. Nobody innocent needs to suffer tonight. Only one person needs to die to put an end to this.
So come get me.
[And the feed ends.]

[Behind him, the door bangs shut. The bell chimes. And outside, it's a whirl. Fall's come with a vengeance in Maurtia and the wind kicks up. Making leaf-litter batter through the alleyway.]
[But even then, it's hard to miss his change of mood. Sure, his words are playful. But there's a bite, a sting.] You do remember who you're talking to, don't you? The name's Greed - [The homunculus snaps and his boot slaps against the concrete stairs linger just at the foot of the bar's doorstep.]
- killing one of mine is the same as stealing. And I don't let anyone take what's mine.
PRIVATE - Audio
[Ahh Greed. So possessive. It's almost heartwarming.
Incidentally it's been a long time since Yomiel has felt this... frenzied. Manic. He's excited and scared and nervous and stone cold focused all at the same time.]
You've been a good friend to me. If this works like I planned it, I'll be leaving you in the lurch. I'm sorry about that.
PRIVATE - Audio
Sorry, but maybe you didn't understand me the first time.
[But he pauses: "You've been a good friend - " Almost like before, but not quite. The homunculus clicks his tongue.] Oi, oi, oi - you really are a bit of a pissant, aren't ya? Fine then, have it your way.
[With Lust gone, a visit to Heropa doesn't sound too bad. A bit of business either way. Greed's heels clap and click against stone and muffle out when he finally hits solid asphalt again.]

[If he keeps on saying it, maybe that will make it true.]
Thanks for everything, Boss.
