[ The feed begins in a dark room - there's moonlight through a window somewhere offscreen, but not much else to illuminate the feed. There's not much to look at - a simple folding chair is all that's really in view for a little while, though there's the sound of shuffling footsteps in the background for a moment. Finally, a figure makes its way to the front of the camera. A giant, heart-shaped figure.

That's right. It's Huggy Heart.

He gives the camera a happy little wave before turning a bit, shifting back and forth as the person inside gets to work on taking the costume off. It's not a fast process - the stupid thing was pretty cumbersome - but eventually he manages to get the zipper in the back open, and with a bit more shifting around the costume falls to his feet.

Mercury stands there, hair a bit mussed and in a plain black t-shirt rather than his usual jacket. ]

Whew! That thing was not built for comfort.

[ He kicks the costume aside dismissively, falling back into the chair with his legs splayed out. ]

It was nice getting out and about for a while, though. That carnival was...

[ His smirk falls a bit. ]

Well, let's be honest. Pretty lame. Decent food, but not much else going for it. Didn't really wow me. Three out of ten at best. What I'm getting at here is that I'm bored.

[ He leans forward, elbows resting on his knees, narrowing his eyes at the camera as he lowers his voice. ]

Me and boredom are a baaaaad mix. Some of you might remember that! So consider this a heads-up that I'm going to be hitting the streets again. No more costumes, no more sneaking around. That lost its luster a while back. Just me and a few cities worth of friendly faces to mingle with. Can't wait to meet some of you face-to-face.

[ He leans back again, crossing one leg over the other - his pants and boots, at least, are the same as usual. His expression returns to his usual smirk, tone casual. ]

All that aside, anyone know any good jokes? Come on. Make me laugh.

[ Asshat in training? He's been a master asshat for YEARS ]

You could try, that's for sure.

[ A beat, his head cocking a bit. ]

Keep going, though. Talk homicidal to me.

[Now there is just the biggest 'ew, gross' look creeping onto Blake's face. She sets down her mug, looking disgusted.] On second thought? Go suffocate on your own.

Ugh - you tease.

[ He leans back, making a point of crossing his legs visibly - still not broken. ]

So, is that all? Did you just pop in for some vague empty threats?

You would know all about vague empty threats. [Case and point your video about 'mingling'. She's surveying him undisguised loathing. She could ask him 'why', dance around in the same circle she did with Emerald. But it wouldn't go anywhere.]

Leave the people of this world out of whatever sick ideas you're having.[It's only been a little while, but she's already met some good people here. People she doesn't wish this sadistic clown on. Be damned if she's going to let them to do these people what they did in Vale.]

Vague, sure. But empty...?

[ He clicks his tongue, shaking his head slowly. There's a gleam in his eye - the kind that seems to say "I know something you don't". ]

Let's just say I've put my money where my mouth is before.

[Blake's fists clench. She really doesn't like this jerk.] There's no reason to do anything to the people here. Whatever you guys were trying to accomplish was in Remnant. Leave this world out of it.

Okay, I hear you, but here's the kicker:

What are you going to do if I don't want to?

I'll stop you.

Bold words, from one of the many so-called heroes who couldn't prevent what happened to Vale.

This time we know who the snake in the grass is.

Sure, sure. But I'm not too worried about running into any of you Beacon brats. I've gotten a pretty good idea what you're made of.

It's nothing special.
