[For anyone that happens to know Kotetsu, you might be a little surprised at the serious, almost stern features on his face. He almost looks as if he has something dire and important to say, and in fact, he does. He opens his mouth-- and then closes it, his eyes going wide slightly, and he stares down at his feet as if trying to recall what he was going to say.

Damn it, public speaking wasn't ever his strong point, but Barnaby had taken care of the first message relating to this subject so it was only fair that he'd handle it this time around. Finally, with an assured nod, he lifts his head up.
]

Okay, I'd like to have everyone's attention please! I know a lot of people probably know more than enough about those killings going around, and if you haven't, get outta that rock and read yourself a newspaper. It's good for you. I'm not sure how many of you remember the message someone named Barnaby gave about this "serial killer" in the area, but it's related to that.

[Kotetsu takes a deep breath and removes his hat, his expression going serious again.]

They're calling the guy that everyone is looking for "The Crim Cutter". But that's not his name. His name is Lunatic. He's from my world, and from the looks of it, he's now in Death City. Back home, he was famous for going after criminals and giving them his own brand of justice, and that was by killing them. No one knows what he really looks like because he wears a mask and an outfit, and no one knows how to catch him. Not yet at least. He's never gone after regular, innocent people though, so there isn't too much to worry about. Still, he's dangerous, and he shouldn't be here. We can't let him stay loose for long.

...some people might think that he's not that bad of a problem because he goes after criminals, people who you think deserves this sort of thing, but that's not true. It's a lie. No matter who he goes after and why, he's killing people, and no matter what, that sort of thing can't be forgiven. You don't get any kind of justice with murder. It's not right!

[He doesn't realize the tightened hold he has on his mirror or the raised tone in his voice until he hears it slightly echo in the room he's in, and Kotetsu jolts slightly, surprised at his own outburst. Calming down, he rubs at the back of his neck and continues.]

Ah, so, if anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or my partner. --oh, my name's Kotetsu. My partner's Barnaby. We've dealt with this guy a lot longer than Death City has now so hopefully, we can help out in catching Lunatic and getting this all to stop as soon as possible, because trust me, he's not gonna stop for anything.

So the guy calls himself brainfried and shoots people with a crossbow while wearing a fancy costume.

Your world sure sounds interesting if you can't deal with that.

Which differentiates him from the 'forces of good' by exactly the point of one of them sitting on a throne and the other not.

Do you? Well, I used to think the same things once.

The fact that justice doesn't matters as long as you are the one who has the power. 'Power' lets you do with the people you don't like whatever you wish to without being prosecuted for it.

If that's justice then I don't need that.

That's why I am only pursuing my own 'justice'. I don't care what others think of it and I expect no sympathy. The things I do, I do them because there is a good reason for me.

...and that's also why I hate everybody who claims to fight for justice or the well-being of 'everyone'. Because they don't.

[For a moment he is tempted to ask how that sort of reasoning isn't exactly Kotetsu doing what he wants to do. How it's not him working for his own goals, how its not spurred by a selfish desire, even if it means that he will offer anything to help out others.

But he doesn't do it.

Instead, after a notable moment of silence, the connection gets suddenly switched to video and private. The face that belongs to his cold and cutting voice doesn't fit it. Instead it is gentle, framed by soft-looking white hair and with long lashes that empathize blue-violet eyes in a way that would make girls jealous. The person who is Bakura and yet isn't gazes at him with an unreadable look as his left hand rests on his chest, as if he had absentmindedly touched the place where the scars from the Ring lie earlier and has simply forgotten about it still being there. There is a big puncture scar visible on the outer palm of the hand.]


Would you kill for it? Would you force others to suffer to set the world in the ways you want it to run and then claim that it was something that 'had to be done'?
feelsgoodinyou: (..just your enemy's justice?)

[He gives him a long, lingering look and then drops his hand, apparently having lost his interest in their little argument.]

Then that 'justice' of yours is of no concern to this grudge. I have no problem with those who live and die for that what they chose for themselves. Though...

[He trails off and his face twists into a knowing, sadistic little smirk.]

..It'll be interesting to see who dies first: you or that innocence of yours.
feelsgoodinyou: (what you fear)

Neither have I until it happened. [He laughs sarcastically under his breath.]

Much luck with your hunt, hero. Hold your eyes tightly shut when the abyss looks back at you and make sure that you always have a friend who won't mind slaying a monster that he once knew.
