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.

[He doesn't sound like he's taking this very seriously.]
That's quite ambitious. What's he going to do with all those worlds?
no subject
That's just speculation though.
[She oddly doesn't quite seem to catch that lack of seriousness in his tone.]
no subject
[That's more incredulity than disgust, for once. He just can't wrap his head around this mindset. Admittedly he hadn't known Cinder's plans either, but it wasn't for lack of trying.]
That's a pretty important question to ask before you devote yourself to a megalomaniacal master. That sort of ignorance is going to get you killed if you don't watch out.

Lord Moebius has watched over Labyrinth long before I came into being, there hasn't been a time where I haven't served him. Everyone in Labyrinth serves him faithfully and eventually everyone in every other world will follow his guidance as well.
[Spoilers: it does.]no subject

Labyrinth has prospered under his rule. Serving him faithfully is the least I can to thank him for that.
I suppose a common criminal wouldn't know a thing about loyalty.
no subject
Well, you're half right, but I think you'll find there's nothing common about me.
[He smirks at her and raises his wine glass.]
May the best master win.
[With that, he drinks a toast to himself.]
no subject
[Okay, now she just narrows her eyes.]
That wouldn't even be a competition, you wouldn't stand a chance against him.
