1. [Roger wasn't present at Unity Group much for the past few days... But now he suddenly reappears, looking like a man who's been very busy with something important lately. Without a word, he throws a picture on a desk - a low-quality photograph, showing a Megadeus skulking in the shadows, between two buildings. What little can be seen of the robot is covered in bandages.]

It's how I suspected. He's back. Schwarzwald is alive.

2. [this happens shortly before the mission, and is locked to ??? only]
[Roger received a tip from Angel about Schwarzwald's whereabouts - it's surprising the woman knew about all this, but she's always been a mysterious lady. The negotiator arrives at the scene, which turns out to be a big, fancy party at the top floor of one of Paradigm's most luxurious buildings. Everyone is wearing masks, and Roger also receives one - but while the crowd engages in debauchery, most of them completely drunk, he stays away from the party and looks around. There is a reason he came here.]

Where did he get enough bandages for an entire megadeus?

"Welcome!"

Descending from one of the vines that serve as decoration, Schwarzwald appears - his burned bandaged body covered by a jester's outfit, and a mask.

"Welcome, oh dog of Paradigm."

"That is not exactly the case. I only wanted you to see the behaviour of my guests."

Schwarzwald gestures, his arm sweeping widely as he shows the drunken crowd all around him.

"This is reality. The corrupt city that you are trying to protect."

I was just shocked by the obvious.

...It's big at least. How well can you guess what a megadeus does just by looking at it? Would bandages even be a useful disguise?

...I'd have preferred it if he was just going for a mummy theme, but you're probably right. I wonder what it is.

As soon as the check is in Scharzwald's grip, something appears in his other hand - his lighter, which he uses to burn it!

"This is my answer. This corrupt city will burn. Its domes are ineffectual, useless - people need to become aware! Experience themselves what has happened 40 years ago."

Mid-speech, the guests' masks suddenly burst into flames as well! Screams of agony can be heard through the room as they try to pry them off and run away.

So his burns, or whatever he hides under those bandages, were caused by it? Do you mean directly or just that it happened while he was trying to get his hands on it?

"I will make them know! I will do it through the power of my own Megadeus!"

Unfortunately Schwartzwald leaps back and away - through a window in fact. This is not a panicked attempt at fleeing, he had this escape planned all along!

Just what are Megadei? They don't seem like normal giant robots.

Paradigm in general is weird. Everything seems to work in ways they shouldn't.
itbelongsinamuseum: (Sigh)

From: [personal profile] itbelongsinamuseum


Let's hope he was unhinged to begin with. Otherwise we'll probably end up with a lot of Unity Group going insane if it's an effect of the truth.
itbelongsinamuseum: (Eh)

From: [personal profile] itbelongsinamuseum


Probably not. But I imagine you can guess why I'd be worried. It relates to messing with people's memories and we've seen enough magic, psychic powers and government brainwashing programs that being concerned is only natural.
itbelongsinamuseum: (Sigh)

From: [personal profile] itbelongsinamuseum


I didn't mean Schwarzwald doing it. I mean the truth, whatever it is, doing so itself.
itbelongsinamuseum: (Default)

From: [personal profile] itbelongsinamuseum


Let's hope that's it...And that the truth isn't too scary.
