video | content warnings for the devil being the devil

[Did you know you had a Civil War Museum, residents of Heropa? If you didn't, be sure to pay attention to what you can see in the background of this man's video. It's a wonderful museum, well organized and very educational.

The man in the video is dressed unassumingly in overalls. He's shutting a door behind him and locking it- obviously he thinks closing time is the best time to greet the rest of the network.
Well, it takes all kinds, doesn't it? His voice is calm and there's almost a neighborly tone to it.]


Hi- I'm, uh. I'm only new here so maybe there's a memo I missed or something, but I was wondering about what exactly we're supposed to be doing here. I'm a fairly simple kind of a guy- I like to call things how I see them. Call a pitchfork a pitchfork, you get the picture.

Now, I'm under the impression that I've been kidnapped and brought to Florida against my will. Not only that- but I've been branded like a piece of cattle. Yet some of you seem to be suggesting I've been done a favor of some kind.

[A pause as he locks the front doors of the museum behind him, checks they're securely shut, and moves away from the building. His tone begins shifts away from good-natured.]

That's a little rude, don't you think? Bringing us all here without any consultation and then asking us to thank them for it? That's fairly arrogant of them, right?

[Wait- was that a scream in the background?]

Now, I don't know you and you don't know me- but I'm sure there's a better way to resolve our differences than having all of us lying down in the dirt and letting them piss all over us.

[As he moves away from the building those of you who were admiring the fine architecture will notice that there are flames coming out of the windows. And yes- those are definitely screams you can hear now.

Lucifer is looking frankly into the camera once more.]


Just my take on things.


[The feed ends.


ooc: this is why you don't give lucifer a job as assistant curator at the local civil war memorial.

heroes- the poor people trapped inside the museum need your help! Lucifer won't be sticking around to deal with the fallout but please go ahead and threadjack to organise/actionspam rescues on this post!]

What did you say your name was?

[Kenzi's no hero, she doesn't want to be a hero but this is stepping over a line. She certainly sounds angry even if it's no one she cares about in there.]

What the fuck dude?! None of us like this but that's no reason to throw a fucking tantrum and burn down a building! With people inside!

[It probably would have been okay if there was no one in the building.]

[Edgeworth did know about this museum, fortunately; he knew the location as well, and swiftly dials emergency services to send a fire crew to the address.

He doesn't speak to Lucifer - just hijacks this post to broadcast, his face blazing with fury, but his voice controlled.]


Fire, police, and emergency have been called. We must mount a rescue effort. Volunteers: speak up here.

[Kenzi doesn't want to be a hero but she can't just let something like this happen. The guilt of not doing anything would eat her up.]

I'm on my way.

Now you listen up very carefully Edgeworth. Or read up. Whichever. I don't have time for games either. Ask him and he'll answer.

[Her voice is a little louder so she can speak over the sound of rushing air as she flies to the fire.] Telekinesis and some kind of shield thing. [Very useful stuff.]

[Emma can "hear" the panic telepathically, and is already on it, calming people's minds and marching the ones out of the building who have clear routes to exits. The effort doesn't show on her face or in her voice when she talks to Edgeworth.]

It will take me a few minutes to get there.

[Heroing: so inconvenient.]

The man is an arsonist-murder. He will not give information that will help me to apprehend him. Simply tell me.

Good. There appear to be people trying to escape through the windows. Concentrate your efforts on ensuring that they get out without injury.

Oh you wish he was just an arsonist murderer. And there's no point. You won't catch up with him by now. Sucks but then it's best that way if you lot want to keep breathing.

[ Oh what a view this is to an ex-pirate. ]

I'll say, a most excellent display of defiance; brings back some delightful memories actually.

Yeah, yeah. I know what to do.

[She's already there, trying to push fire away to clear paths for people at any opening she finds. She'll go in if she has to, but she really doesn't want to. Her shields don't protect her from the heat.]

Good. Please concentrate on the entrance, keeping a path clear for the people inside. The fire department will be there soon; please report to the fire chief and tell him what you can do.

Good. If you run into trouble, tell me; I will dispatch back-up.

Invulnerability and enhanced strength.

[She's not quite invulnerable but he doesn't need to know that.

Then, she continues telepathically:]


I'm also a telepath. I'm evacuating the people who can reach exists as we speak, but a lot are cut off entirely.

[Yep, Emma can completely override people's free will and take control of their bodies. Good thing she's a hero! /cough]
