"Work," Raiden said simply, after a moment's thought. "When I attended Beacon I did a bit of vigilante work on the side with my team. Unfortunately, I lost contact with them after things began taking a turn for the worst there, and I'm still looking for them. Right now though..."

From inside his jacket he pulled out his scroll. He scowled as he struggled to open it with one hand, and eventually Flayyer snatched it from him impatiently and opened it instead. He tapped a few buttons, clearly knowing what Raiden was intending to do, before hold out the scroll for Shula to see.

"We're tracking this guy down," Flayyer finished icily. The screen displayed a low-quality CCTV image of a tall man wearing a smart dark green suit, with a fedora pulled low over his head. While much of the face was hidden, there was distinctive scarring on either side of the man's mouth. He looked like the kind of man who would turn a couple of heads when he walked down the street.

"He's a killer, and a notorious one at that, so if you watch the news you will probably have heard of him. His name is Smiler. At least that's what everyone calls him, for obvious reasons. We know he's hiding in Vale, so that's where we're headed," Raiden continued, but then in a wearier voice: "At least, that was the plan. I'm afraid we're kind of lost, and I'm not entirely sure we're even going the right way..."

After a brief few seconds of silence, Raiden waved away the darkened mood.

"Well, that's my story. I can ask you the same question, though. I can't say I've seen you around Beacon...you local?"
