Within a house in an area unfamiliar, a man hangs chained by his wrists. The room is filled with clutter and the smoke of incense. his body is covered in welts and cuts, dried blood and sweat cake his form. In a shadowy corner of the room a figure sits, concealed from his prisoners view but there none the less.
"You know.... our relationship is pretty funny...." The figure in the shadows speaks softly.
"I fail to see anything amusing about any of this..... what do you want from me....." The prisoner spoke with what little strength he has.
"Oh don't be so serious..... I'll get to that, I thought for the time being we should just enjoy each others company.... It is very hard to get to know someone these days...." The figure spoke in almost a coo.
"You've had me chained up here for weeks.... if you're going to kill me.... just do it....." the prisoner spoke in defeat.
"All in good time my friend. I've appreciated what you have told me thus far..... quite a weaver of tales you are....a shame you couldn't keep that upbeat attitude during all the torture. It would have made it much more entertaining...." The figure spoke as he crossed one leg on top of the other.
"What do you even want with them...... they haven't done anything to you..." The prisoner retorted, using all his strength to raise his head.
"I enjoy a challenge above all else, My time assisting The Camorra was fun.... but they are too..... thorough for my taste. You take away the risk and the job just ceases to be fun anymore. I am tired of having no one who can challenge my mind. The burden of being a genius is quite heavy." The figure spoke letting out a small chuckle.
"You're a madman.... No one is stupid enough to challenge someone without something to gain..." The prisoner spoke weakly.
"No no my dear friend, I am not mad. I am simply a good showman. I have gold and I have station.... I need neither of those things. Therefore it should make sense that all I do is simply for the thrill of doing it...." The figure responded quite calmly.
"Make sense....? you are absolutely crazy. But thank you.... now that I know you are some noble underneath that mask, it makes it easier when I am finally free to have you tracked down and killed." the prisoner spoke with an arrogant smile.
The figure in the corner slowly rose from his chair. Strutting forward at a slow pace. As he steps into the light the smiling mask on his face stares at his prisoner tauntingly. Only his eyes are visible through it.
"That reminds me.... Mr Vane. I did tell you I needed you for my plans to begin. didn't I?" the masked figure inquired.
"What are you getting at you psychopath....?" Vane responded.
"Well you see... I have a previous engagement in Tokuno that I simply have to attend to. It is good to be wanted sometimes. But it occurred to me in my preparations... that well... I forgot what I actually needed you for." The figure spoke, covering the mouth on his mask laughing sheepishly.
"What are you getting at....?" Vane asked tilting his head curiously
The figure gently rests a hand on Vane's chin, wiping away some blood and looking over his face.
"Well, let me put it this way. What is it you give to a man who has worked their entire lives.. who has exhausted themselves in pursuit of happiness?" The figure spoke curiously to his prisoner.
"I really hate your jokes..... Fine.. what?" Vane asked angrily.
In one swift motion the figure suddenly grabbed Vane's head with both hands, a snapping sound soon followed as he twisted with all his might. With that, Vane's body fell limp in the chains supporting him, the look of shock still visible on his face.
"You give them a break..... cheer up good man I know it was a horrible pun but you don't have to look so shocked. Oh well... you know what I like about you Vane? You don't judge me.." The figure spoke patting the now lifeless body of Keiran Vane on the back.
"Now then.... I better get ready. There is a nice girl in Tokuno who I have been told is just dieing to meet me. Do not worry Vane I have already arranged a trip home for you...." The figure spoke with a laugh.
"It is about time I brought a little comedy into their pathetic lives....."
"You know.... our relationship is pretty funny...." The figure in the shadows speaks softly.
