Video; Un: Stranger (Midnight)

[Risk of violent content or descriptions of violence in comments.]

[While the audio is being transmitted on purpose, the video feed seems unintended, offering only an impressive view of a ceiling. Yuber's impossibly deep voice rumbles from close by, over the sound of rattling bones.]

Chaos in this world is far too fleeting and easily ignored. It grows tedious.

[Rustling, then Yuber picks up the phone and for a moment the camera shows his face, flickering in and out of focus. His mismatched eyes are bright with bloodlust but he seems otherwise sickly, as if he hasn't eaten or slept in days.

He disappears from view after he places the phone down again.]

What is a creature of war to do with no war?

...Hmph. Actually, nevermind. Who cares what you people have to say? Nobody in this world has an answer.

If none of you insects will entertain me, maybe I should make some fun of my own.

...Was I making threats?

[crimsongirl]

Might as well be.

[She pauses, thinking.]

But maybe I mistook it for something else, like you suddenly wanna take a knitting hobby? Or maybe get the best score in that dancing game at the arcade?

[eightfoldfiend]

You can interpret my words however you wish. But if my intent was to create fear then you'd be afraid.

[There is some menace in his voice, if only because there is always some menace in his voice. As far as he's concerned he's stating a simple fact.]

[crimsongirl]

Oh? And just how would you scare a shinobi?

[eightfoldfiend]

The same way I'd scare any mortal. You're all alike in the end.

[crimsongirl]

So what, you supposed to be some god or devil that got depowered?

[eightfoldfiend]

Yes. Something like that.

[crimsongirl]

Then you're just another Yoma to me.

[eightfoldfiend]

That term means nothing to me.

[crimsongirl]

Creatures that just want more blood basically. Their power varies, enough that I plan to wipe them all out.

In other words, you're just another target.

[eightfoldfiend]

If you want to put me to the sword then come find me.
