[The feed begins with a catch of a door handle. A broken chain hangs haphazardly to the side, its links pried apart with some force. A few pieces still litter the floor, the metal holding them together looking as if they've been sliced right through. On the recording, there's a flash of a wood floor as the angle sways. This way, that way. Leaving blurry images to shift across the screen.]

[But for anyone who's ever been to the 'Falls, the click-clack of clipped heels and the heavy walk should be obvious. Almost as much as the audible grin that follows. A voice sounds outside of the recording - sultry, a-purr:]


Now that's surprising.

[The phone hits the surface of the bar with a plastic-thud. Spinning 'round once in a slow, drawling motion. And as if on cue, the lights go on - the eerie stillness breaks. As red pulses and toxic-neon bulbs struggle to find themselves again. A bottle springs into view; knocked beside the recording as it continues its steady stream of the ceiling above. A thumb chases the cap at the top, forcing it to spin through the notches.] It's been a while.

[Finally, the owner comes into view. Greed splays his arms across the surface of the bar, one hand propped up by the crook of his elbow. He presses his index into the spinning bottle cap, stopping it just before gravity takes it for a plunge.] Missed a few things since last time, but it doesn't look like this place changes very much. [His smile widens - grinding up one side of his jaw and it's just teeth. A deadly set of daggers that slice into a tightly-knit row. The Sin's shoulders rise and the fur at his neck follows. Fanning out in a wild display as it finds the thick of his throat.] The Devil's Nest is open for business. 10% off for tonight - call it a one-time deal.

[A pause. Greed's eyebrows dip together and his thumb snaps. Releasing the choke-hold on the cap to finally let it fall flat-first onto the top of the bar.] Ah, right. That's a little rude, isn't it?

[Colors spin in his sunglasses; from the muted notes of the bar lights above as they crackle and blink. From the looks of it, it's been a while since they've been on. A month, longer. He isn't even sure.]

[Not that it really matters.]

[Instead, he swipes his fingers forward. Scissoring his index and middle to skirt across his collarbone. The bow he gives is a mockery; a lazy dip as his back slumps.]
The name's Greed - it's a pleasure.

[The name reads: Bart Allen.

There's neighing to start off this video feed. Well, that and the muzzle of a curious horse who seems to think that the communicator is a treat.]


Hey- c'mon dude, I need this. [Bart's stroking the great and noble steed's snout by the time the video focuses in again, and if the fact that the kid has apparently found a horse wasn't weird enough, he's also wearing a cowboy hat on his head.

... Then again, knowing Impulse, maybe it's not the weirdest thing that could have happened.]
Okay, so, I was hoping I would never have to say this.

[The kid pauses to take in a deep breath, and the horse starts trying to nibble on the edge of his hat]

I think some really bad people got here- some people that work for a really bad man. They're- I guess they're kind of the mafia? But they all work for a guy named Don Equis. [He frowns] I don't know how long they've been here, and just about any one of the imPorts could be working for him, but I'll find them.

They're totally dangerous, but so long as you don't have any ties to racing or horses I think they'll leave you alone. But to any of you who do belong to the Horse Mafia- [He points at the screen, doing his best to come off as menacing while wearing a too-big cowboy hat that's more than become a snack to his horse] I'm gonna get you back for what you did to Tragedy.

[And that's it. That's the message.




In other words- Bart's been struck by lightning!]

[ Lydia composes herself and turns the video function on her phone, broadcasting her own face for a moment, body well off-screen. ]

We have a problem. If you’re squeamish, now would be a good time to stop watching.

[ Tapping the screen, she flips the camera, and instead of her face, the video captures an image of Dean’s body. ]

I don’t think I have to be the one to point out that an imPort did this.

[ Which means bad news bears for all of them: imPort crime has a way of lashing back to make all of them look bad. ]

[ Simon’s voice from off-screen adds, ] It doesn’t look like Lunatic’s work, not from what I’ve heard. Things don’t quite match up, and. I think. I think the victim’s head is… empty.

[The sound of the sea and gulls can just about be heard in the background, as well as the chugging of a boat's motor in the background but beyond that, there's an awful lot of noise going on from what sounds like an agitated crowd.

"Murderers! Scum! Evil murderers!"

And now you are treated to the shot of a very perplexed looking man with a scarred, tanned face looking at the communicator as though he still doesn't quite trust what he's been told about it (and he doesn't really).]


I don't know why this Peter bloke's getting his breeches in a bunch about fishing, there ain't nothin' wrong with going out to fish and it ain't enough to-

[A particularly shrill woman with bright purple hair shrieks 'Bastard!' at him and he chuckles.]

Steady on love! My mam and da had me on the right side of the sheets thanks.

[Shaking his head, he turns his attention back to the communicator.]

Friendly lot round these parts, aren't they? Is this the normal welcome us new folk can expect or is it just fishermen they ta- oh Jaysus hang on.

[It seems that one of the PETA protestors with a can of red paint has broken through and is rushing at an older looking sailor with an aim to throw it at him. The communicator is dropped, and there's a brief flash of bright blue sky before it lands and picks up on the sight of our broadcaster, shirtless and tattooed, tackling the protestor, sitting astride him and punching him square in the jaw.]

Piss. Off!

[ instead of stuck behind her desk, rosie is apparently perched on a bench in a park in de chima. it's not storming so badly at the moment, but the video feed keeps getting a little static interference because of the woman holding it. she smiles serenely at the screen, instead of her usual bouncy cheer.

her voice seems more fluid, the words seeming to come easily. if anyone is using their communicators translation thingy they might notice that it's because she's speaking french. and if they're not, well, then they will realize she's speaking french because they can hear her...

speaking french. ]


Hello, my friends.

The weather here has been... violent as of late, but I wish to assure you that if you feel in danger, you need only come to see me. The lightning does not hurt me. [ to punctuate this point, lighting crackles in her palm, and the video feed has a little seizure like wow can you please not? ] In fact, it is singularly attracted to me. Surely, so I can protect you all.

Au revoir.

[ so that's weird. SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. ]
