ikols: uptown funk you up (♀ let me tell you something)
[personal profile] ikols
[ Standing well within the police barriers surrounding the murder scene at Camp Sparkling Waters, a woman's Icelandic-accented voice comes through over the video footage; the camera pans over the bloody remains of where the rituals took place. No bodies, those have been carted away to the morgue, but they left some ... imprints. ]

These folks had a really bad day. Any of you fellas on this channel know why? I suspect — oh, give me a break ... [ And then distractedly, ] Hello, boys! My, what big bats you have!

[ Huffing indignantly, her tone changes to exasperation right before an unplanned scuffle takes place with four to five bodies getting unceremoniously knocked out, hitting the wet grass with bloody splodges as flesh meets dirt (that's what happens when mortal gangsters try to beat down an Asgardian woman). Not dead! Merely knocked-out so she can continue, brushing down her coat as she finally looks in the camera. ]

As I was saying, and now feel entirely convinced of, I suspect our long lost friend Julie might have something to do with things down here. [ Gripping the hair of an unconscious meathead, she drags his ugly, mottled face into view. ] So now the mystery deepens! Who's been sending these handsome chaps to contain the murder scene? Ten points to Gryffindor if you can point me in the right direction!

[ Those ten points being a favour off Loki, if you can read between the lines. ]

Is it that no one here has anything to say or are you merely too afraid to speak? There is an important difference between hiding and working in the shadows.

So which is it?

[If anyone has been brave enough to venture into the City of Nightmares, they might recognize that Dio is currently in The Corvid. Those that don't will at least recognize that he's in a nightclub of some kind and Dio appears to be both completely relaxed and having a good time. He has to talk over the music, but he makes it seem almost as though he's not raising his voice at all or, at the very least, only raising his voice just enough to be heard and not a decibel louder.]

I think perhaps this city's reputation is a little unfair in its oversimplification. [He pauses as a twentysomething woman is placing her hand in his and taking up a seat in his lap while also trying not to spill her drink. Before she can take her hand back, Dio kisses her knuckles and smiles at her. She's caught off-guard by the gesture for a brief moment but once she meets Dio's eyes, she breaks out into a wide grin and bubbly laughter. She settles in against Dio, taking her hand back to rest it against his chest.] As I was saying, I think there's more to this place than just danger.

[Dio brushes her hair out of the way, exposing her neck to the view of the camera. He runs sharp, black nails up and down along her neck until she shivers and starts to sit up again.]

I know some of you have been hesitant to travel here, [he says, his gaze slipping back to her. He runs his fingers through her hair before hooking a finger under her chin and tilting her face further up towards his.] But I think you'll find something worth your while.

[He leans down and kisses her, his fingers moving along her jaw and back down to her neck.]

((ooc: just as a brief note for those responding to the cad post, the username amicus is not associated with dio! he's using it specifically to hide his identity. while being a dick and calling other people out for hiding?? i don't know. he's a hypocrite.))

Okay, so the lady at the desk says that you're supposed to use this thing to talk to other people, right?

[ The camera sweeps around the foyer of the McAran Tower, stopping briefly on the receptionist's face before finally stopping on the face of the owner of the device. She's deathly skinny, with a pale yellowish tone to her skin that suggests malnutrition. Her hair hangs around her face like straw, unkempt and ragged. And she's only a teenager, a young one at that. ]

Hi. I'm Azula, I'm here because I'm a refugee from the unpleasant aftershocks of a hundred year long war finally ending. I'm broke, I'm homeless...I don't even have clothes or shoes.

[ She sweeps the device down her body. She's wearing a thin hospital gown that's covered in dirt in ways that suggest it's been worn for several months in a row, and she has a single house slipper on her foot, the other one had fallen off while she was trying to get a hold of the CALL device despite being restrained. Some kind person has removed said restraints, but the bruised abrasions where the shackles had originally gone are visible on her skin, some of them reddish with infection. ]

I'll...rebuild my dignity later, can someone buy me some clothes? And a cup of tea if you really want my undying gratitude.

'Chaos And Destruction'? What's that mean?

[ Please put CALL or CAD in your comment title! ]

[In Alfie's line of work, waking up to find a mysterious envelope on your bedside table is cause for deep suspicion. He'd scoured the room for anything out of place before he'd even considered opening it - and once he did discover the strange little electronic device, he'd spent a good hour learning how it works before he broadcasted anything. When he's finally ready to make his virtual presence known, he first chooses the open network.]

Right - I've got the worlds idea, yeah? And the aliens, City of Tomorrow - all that. I can read what you're all saying.

[That doesn't mean he necessarily believes it, but he at least doesn't need introductory explanations.]

There's just one thing I can't figure out. If I were to push this button here, 'transport' - what would happen? What are we meant to be transporting?

[Themselves, it sounds like. He'll go somewhere - he's gotten that much, from reading the comments - and it sounds like it'd be easy to return. But this is all completely unfamiliar territory to him, and he is going to be cautious.]

[CAD network]

[But he can't help but be curious about this second broadcasting channel - one that people don't seem to be chattering away on. A backup, maybe, in case the first goes down?]

Hello. Quiet, eh?
