>>avaricious has posted an AUDIO MESSAGE. If you wish to listen, type LISTEN01
[It takes a bit for the message to come through, but as soon as it does, the sound on the other side is smokey; like that of a cigar lounge missing its intended target. However, even that stillness doesn't last. A sharp tck clicks through and as the receiver sputters, what comes on the other side is nothing short of an audible, dry-laced grin.]
That's not really how it works, friend. [Greed's close. Too close. The purr in the back of his throat rolls as heavy as a furnace. It pops and growls; vibrates and hushes. He taps his claw again along plastic, making the device pick-pick-pick in the background.] Like you said though, the rumors can't really be stopped. But don't mistake me for something I'm just not.
[Talk isn't cheap, but Vandare's underworld has been a bit more giving in recent weeks. He's heard aboutthe others - a band of monsters with a military intent on giving the city a run for its money. It's never suited him, nor does the idea of complete law and order bode as a better option. Something chimes on the feed, breaking the thought.] I'm not interested in killing anyone I don't have to - the name's Greed, after all. Even I have some standards.
This other group though - [His voice trails off - as slick and sly as the devil at a poker game. Greed pulls away from the recording.] - you aren't wrong. Word has it they plan to take over, even if others have a different idea. First thing's first though -
