["Ash"'s device cuts on and shows the ground. The occasional tremble can be seen in the video and heard in his voice that has nothing to do with the cold. ]

I went for a walk today and found something I can only describe as horrifying. A body, with a note attached to it. I have made sure to hide the rest of this video after so those that do not wish to see the following image won't have to and we can just...discuss ways to calm my shaking nerves.

[The device pauses for a moment before moving to the body: it's been burned terribly, the corpse forced and tied into a position not unlike that of a cooked turkey. The device zooms in on the note, which has been worded with various bits of paper like an old school ransom note from one of those overly dramatic movies.

You know the ones. It reads: 'Help! I was left in the oven too long and missed my big day! Please eat me.' A sad face sticker is placed at the end. The video moves to show the communal housing building. Seems "Ash" here was on his way back home when he came across the corpse.]

What should I do?

[ Okay that.... that's GROSS. SUPER gross and she's sorry she gave in to her curiosity and looked. ]

T.. that's horrible..! [ And a sick, SICK idea of a joke. Who would do something like that? ]

Are YOU okay? Have you called the police.. or the Perimeter Guard yet...?

I'm...[He sighs. Someone get him an Oscar, ASAP.]

I'm fine. I think. I thought this may be faster since many of them have access to this..network.

[ Such a brilliant actor~! ]

Yeah, you're probably right.

God that's... I'm sorry, Ash, you shouldn't have to be exposed to something like that. I mean, it really has been quiet around here for the most part. It seems some sick person out there doesn't like the quiet. Have you been contacted by anyone yet?

[The best! Also, an accurate assessment, Marie. Joker Ash is greatly hating the quiet of this place.]

No one yet. God..do you think I'll be contacted by someone?

[ TSK, Typical bad guys! ]

Well yeah - you're not worried about that are you? I mean.. I've never really talked to them myself, but they're like cops, so they're only here to help. [ MAN UP ASH. It's just a gross fried body -- er... ]

I mean, you are the first one to find something like that..

...I am?

[Marvelous!]

Re: Audio/@JaggedFan

[de_evilise]

Well... [ A pause to think about it. ]

At least.. I mean I'm not a constant presence on the network or anything, but I do glance at it from time to time. And I don't think I've ever seen anything like.... like what you found, so ... yeah, I'm... pretty sure you are.

[Cos he's the best at what he does!]

Oh. Interesting. Relieving to know, at least. A little.

[He still sounds a bit rattled.]

Re: Audio/@JaggedFan

[de_evilise]

[ He gets a gold star for presentation and everything! ]

Um... if you're still feeling unsettled, maybe it'd be a good idea to go to the police station or the Perimeter Guard in person?

Audio/@JaggedFan

[super_sane]

[Fuck yeah he does!]

They've barely even responded to this. I..think I should go hide somewhere for a few days.

Re: Audio/@JaggedFan

[de_evilise]

[ ALL the other villains are jelly! ]

Well, that's why I was suggesting you go to the Perimeter Guard directly. [ If she had responded as Ladybug she could technically... maybe... well it's not really her 'area of expertise, so to speak. ]

Do you have somewhere you can go?

No, though I guess anywhere else would be fine.
