["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?

(What...the hell is he seeing? Noctis has seen death, even murder, but it never been like this. It was quick, if not painless. The person who killed this man had done so playfully, like he was a piece of a game, insignificant and material instead of human.

It pisses him off. Immediately, Noctis can feel his blood boiling.)

What the hell?!

(The messenger isn't the perpetrator. His anger isn't aimed at the 'Ash', but he can't mute his response.)

What kind of messed up game is that?

[It's a good thing his end is off now, video wise, because hoo-boy--Noctis' reaction has him grinning from ear to ear as he listens. Such righteous anger! He loved it!

Still, he needed to calm himself down, lest he give it all away too soon. When Noctis is done, Ash's voice can be heard coming back.]

I'm..not sure. Someone's idea of a joke, perhaps.

[brotrips]

That's a sick joke!

(His anger hasn't faded while he was forced to wait. Instead, he tried to figure out where the body was located. Humans weren't something to be toyed with like they were pawns in a game.)

Where are you? I'm near the apartments too.

[I meaaaan they kind of are angry pretty boy. they kind of are.]

I'm--[The device seems to be jostled about as "Ash" feigns being attacked from behind, complete with sounds of effort and pain.]

I was very excited when I discovered Noctis is roomies with the Joker

[brotrips]

(Are not.)

Hey! (The camera shakes as Noctis moves closer, almost as if he believes doing so will allow him to change his view.) Hey! Talk to me!

Can you hear me?!
