5th Heist- Anonymous Video
[At first, Roman didn't think much of Weiss' public declaration of war. Zuko was a force to be reckoned with but he could handle Weiss. Thing is, her little business was getting a lot of recruits. If she just stuck to her corner of town he could happily forget that she existed, but at this rate Schnee Corp will reach the status it had in Remnant. The last thing he needs is that prissy little tyrant making dirty deals with the authorities while she still held a personal grudge against him. Best to nip this in the bud.
The video appears to be taken on a rooftop. He lounges against the railing, a glass of wine in one hand and a smoldering cigar in the other.]
Good afternoon! Roman Torchwick speaking. Forgive the anonymous video, but I'm choosy about giving out my personal number. The boys in law enforcement can't keep their hands off me and I'd hate to encourage them.
[He winks at the camera.]
Anyway, I'd like to talk to you all about the Schnee Company. You could consider this a public service announcement. I'm from the same world as her, so I've got a little preview of what we're in for if we let them set up shop here. See that file attachment there? Go on, take a look!
[He takes a drag on his cigar and blows a couple of smoke rings while he waits. For anyone who opens the file, it's a long word document about the Schnee Dust Corporation. It's truth padded by reasonably believable lies.]
That's some but not all of the accusations leveled at the Schnee Dust Corporation in the past few years. Human rights abuses, shady business deals with organized crime and politicians, drug and weapons trafficking... they even threw in some sex scandals to keep things interesting! If you doubt me, you can always go to the Vale subarchway and ask around. The specifics might be different since it's not quite like our Vale, but you'll get the gist of it.
Now I'm not one to judge, but you all seem pretty happy with your small business economy, unbiased justice system, and honest government. I know we all have to make a living, but when I see all these poor suckers falling all over themselves to be part of the Schnee Personal Army...
[He shrugs.]
Well, don't say I didn't warn you.

Meet me in the 12th floor lounge at 10 tonight. We need to talk.

But... you're tryin' to sabotage the girl, I get it.

Ice Queen and I do have our differences, but I'm not lying about Schnee Dust Corporation. I think it'll help everyone to get this out in the open-- and if it helps me a little more than most, what's the harm in that?
no subject
[he's seen this before.]
Look don't get me wrong or nothin', I don't care about either side, it ain't my fight.
no subject
[Roman shakes his head.]
You've got a good bloodlust and I can respect that, but you have no concept of finesse and strategy. If I wanted a pointless bloodbath, I'd be in the dogfighting business. You know what makes us better than those animals?
[He taps his temple.]
Brains. You can fight like a brute if you want, but a keen mind will beat you every time. I’ve got higher ambitions than killing a few snot-nosed kids.
no subject
So you're just gonna prolong all of this? Cheh- this is the worst game of cat and mouse I've ever seen...
no subject
Besides, a bloodbath is hardly effective in a place where death doesn't stick.
no subject
...About that, can you explain that a bit more? [the death thing.]
no subject
Go jump off a building. You'll figure it out pretty quickly.
[Or he'll die. That would be fine too.]
