[At first, when the SFC first clicks on, the camera is already in motion. It clatters to the floor, skidding across it and coming to rest on the wall.
The room is dank and gloomy.
There is a flash of white--Alpha's labcoat.]
Good good! So, today you will face your punishment! [He claps his hands together.] Excited? The Great Lamufao is pleased with you, oh yes he is~
[And, where he's looking, a certain thief, manacled and seated on the wet ground, but he's still wearing a cocky smirk.]
[Matthew chuckles in response, not at all daunted.]
I'm sure he is. I don't tend to take orders from coral, though. Sorry.
Ah, pity.
[He gives a hum before beginning to speak, hand gestures and all.]
So, we've thought up a few things! There's a public hanging-- [He makes a gesture with his tie.] Or just slicing your throat open-- [Another gesture towards his throat.] Or execution style shooting! [And then he makes a shooting gesture with his hand.]
Though, I'm partial to... simpler deaths. No blood and guts, though I do enjoy that but more so when the person is alive to feel it.
[And with that he pulls out long syringe filled with clear liquid. He then gestures towards the cell door for one of the lugs behind him to open it.]
Hurry now, time's a wastin'.
...Pleasant.
[He still looks unconcerned, but to anyone who knows him well and can see well enough through the gloom...He's getting desperate.]
[As the gate is opened, all that's really heard is Alpha's mad giggle at this whole scenario. The two lugs begin to approach Matthew but then suddenly, one goes down. The other looks at his partner with a "Huh?" and boom, he does down also. Alpha stands behind them with an empty syringe which he tucks into his pockets and pulls out some hand sanitizer, cleaning his hands.]
Ah, how messy! I was scared that I hadn't brought enough. Well then, now that that's over.
[He smiles at Matthew and approached, crouching behind him to unlock the shackles. Then he takes a step back and tucks away the key. He looks down at the two lugs, a finger on his lips.]
... Hm, I'll need to get someone in here to clean that up... Oh well!
[And then back to Matthew, smilesmilesmile.]
So! The great Lamufao planned death today, but not yours, I'm sorry to say. Can't give away valuable people such as yourself when others... [He glances at the men on the ground.] are so disposable.
[And then back to Matthew, he ruffles his hair before glancing at the ground.]
Oh! Is that your SFC~?
[And the he picks it up and hands it to Matthew.] Looks like it's recording, tell everyone I said hi.
[There is a pause, where even Matthew, normally so quick to react, is entirely off-balance. Then he frowns slightly.]
I'll do that.
[A glance down into the screen, still frowning, and--
Click!]
