001- [VIDEO]

[A man in a white suit fills the screen; partially because he is a large man, and partially because he has angled the camera very badly. There is perhaps something slightly off about the him; a grin that is a bit too big, maybe, or the aviator sunglasses that he is wearing indoors, at night. He is the sort of person that, with only one glance, you will probably find yourself thinking, "Ah, it's an idiot."]

JJJJUUUUUUUUSTTTIIICCCEEEEEE!!!

Hello everyone, and thank you for welcoming me to your fine city! The name is Bobby Fulbright, Hero of Justice, and I am here to protect the common people from whatever dangers might befall them! If there's anything you need — heroic rescue, kittens removed from trees, you name it — don't hesitate to give me a call.

By the way, I'm also a detective! So if there's murder going on, I can help out with that too. Investigating it, I mean. I'd be a pretty unjust detective if I were helping out with murder, HA HA HA!

[He performs an exaggerated two-fingered salute.]

In justice we trust!

[He reaches to turn off the camera, and then pauses.]

Oh, right! I'm in Residence #004, so... does anybody know where that is? I've been wandering around for hours, hahaha. Thanks!

[ This was... a loud idiot, apparently. ]

Residence four, did you say? [ He smiles at the screen, and his smile is...unnerving. ]

Then we're roommates.

[juuustice111]

Is that so? Nice to meet you! I've been looking forward to seeing what kind of people I'll be living with.

[foreshadower]

Indeed? Well, then, it's a pleasure. You may call me the Shade, Mr. Fulbright. Did you still need directions to see the house?

[juuustice111]

I think I've got it now...

Would you like me to pick up anything on my way there?

[foreshadower]

Oh that's hardly necessary. If I want something, I have my ways of acquiring it.

[juuustice111]

I was thinking I'd bring home a pizza... well, I'm sure someone will want a slice.

[foreshadower]

Pizza? [ He sounds. Disgusted. ]

There's no need for that, upon just arriving. I was thinking of making Coq au vin, tonight, if you would rather something that isn't likely to kill you upon eating.

[ Food. Snob. ]

[juuustice111]

Are you sure? I don't want to be any bother!

[foreshadower]

My boy, I'm over two hundred years old. I'm quite sure about everything I do.

[juuustice111]

T... two hundred years old!? You?

[His shocked expression would probably be more gratifying if he hadn't just made the exact same face for Coq au vin.]

[foreshadower]

I know, I look quite sprightly for my age, don't I?

[ He's not sure whether that's a good thing, or a bad thing, honestly. This guy seems very...different, compared to Shade's usual acquaintances. ]

[juuustice111]

[That's a kind way of putting it. He laughs.]

You look great! I'd be happy to be so sprightly at even half your age.

[foreshadower]

Indeed. I think most would. [ A pause. ]

But as I said, it's hardly necessary to bring pizza, particularly when you just arrived. You've had a long day.

[juuustice111]

Thanks a lot. I guess I'll see you soon, then!
