🔪 Do you? Or do you think you do? Grandmother, Olive, do you think she's as bad as that man tells you she is? And isn't just broken, like all of us? You know how well Alice speaks of her. 🐰 . . . We're done here. 🔪 Very well, I'll talk to you again soon. [She dissapears, and after a few moments,

just condemning those to being controlled, like you once was? 🐰 How do you- Ah, right. Alice. 🔪 Hundreds, perhaps thousands, even more, will be killed, locked away, sold for profit, abused, and exploited. Why would you, with your own past, want such a thing to be? 🐰 I- I have faith in him-

be polite? What else... right. Carlos is a terrible person, and he knows it. I can't say much, I chose to be his right hand ma- 🔪 You join him because you feel like you owe him. Tell me, is his goals, ones of toppling the Head and taking control of the City, are they actually good? Or are you

You have your doubts, your grievances, your disagreements. Come on, it's just me and you. I'm all ears. 🐰 ...hah, fine then. For one, the hierarchy system is extreme, I don't... quite exercise such... brutality if a Soldato, no matter their placement meets my gaze. Isn't such a gesture supposed to

plentiful access to corpses, just had to find the right one and make it realistic enough for your mother. Not like I'd kill you anyways, again, not a child killer. 🔪 Hmmm... is that doubt I'm sensing? 🐰 Doubt? What do you mean? 🔪 Oh please, I can tell that your faith in all this isn't absolute.

🐰 Ah... hello. ...do you always do that? 🔪 Small enough. Proud smirk. 🐰 Yes, fair, but it's dangerous. [She points a knife she got from... somewhere? at the Capo.] 🔪 Since when did you care? Accusatory glare... 🐰 I'm not a good person, but I'm not heartless enough to kill a child. I had

How did she- What do you mean she's escaped-? ...ah shit she's in the vents. [Suddenly, appearing from a grate in the ceiling was the girl he was *supposed* to have locked in a room right now.] Ah. You. 🔪 Surprise~ [Despite it obviously having a more musical tone to it, it still came out flat.]

[Picks up his phone and quickly dials a number, also taking the time to pick up a cigar and light it.] @sottocapocarl.bsky.social

[With a quick confirmation, he walks out, into his office, and closes the door behind him.]

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

[He approaches a side room that has been converted into a holding cell.] I'm not that much of a monster. [He places the child in the cell and locks the door behind him, and calls out to a few Soldato's.] Keep her safe and if yous hurt her or do anything to her, you're dead men, understand?

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

[The lone capo walks into the base, a wide, dark smile on his face. He's carrying... someone, a child, and a sickly one at that, ash and soot covering the both of them.] Gotta say, kid. For how young you are, you put up a fight, but... well, not good enough. I could've killed you, but... well...

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

[Focus... focus... those memories, the ones that define you, extract that emotion and focus- A small, faint glowing ring forms around the Capo's fist. He smiles sharply, and manages to hold the ring for a few minutes, before dissipating.] Heh... getting good at this. Only a matter of time till I'm

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

dead, then what? What other goals do you have? Will it stop at her, or will the rest of her allies fall to us? And then what about the long term? What do you hope to get out of all this eventually?

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

. . . [The Capo is sat down, prosthetic hands performing maintenance on his rifle. He takes it apart, pieces it back together, and again, does both. It's already cleaned, inside and out, yet he continues, mind racing with burning questions.] Haahh... @sottocapocarl.bsky.social Once Olive is

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

I see... claimed to be the saviour of them all, and now you're finally seeing the truth. You were never the saviour *or* the hero. Merely a front for your true selfishness.

040

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

Heh... good. If this shall end, it shall be done by our own hands.

030

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

I must admit, it is rather... breathtaking, sir. Will this be enough?

040

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

That easy? Right then. [He grabs an ampule from his pocket and injects it into Carlos.] ...we may need to devise new strategies.

030

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

. . . [The glass containing him explodes from the sheer heat and pressure.] @sottocapocarl.bsky.social Carlos, are you alright?

050

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

...what THE FUCK WAS THAT!? THIS IS BULLSHIT! I'VE BEEN GIMMICKED!

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

...motherfucker. [He continues to punch the glass, it breaking more and more.]

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

. . . [He inhales and exhales sharply, before proceeding to rapidly punch the glass over and over.]

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

...I resent these glass confines. [He glares at Catalyst from behind the glass.]

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

[He tries to block the light lightning, but still gets scorched by it, the lightning also temporarily stunning him.] Gah- You little shit-

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Of course it is. And so is what will happen to you. [He moves out of the way of the blade, moving with surprising agility.] Better hurry up, Crayola. She's running out of time in there.

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

[He hits the tank, cracking it slightly, but it doesn't break.] . . . Fine, so be it. [His prosthetic hands catch on fire as he goes into a fighting stance. He charges forward, knocking into Catalyst and strikes the ground with a fist, sending a trail of fire at her.]

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

[Ge dashes over to the tank, blocking Catalyst's path.] You're not doing *anything*.

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Haahhh... you really can't see the bigger picture, can't you? If she lives, she will go on to hurt many more people. So will Olive. Yet you want them both to remain alive. They're both monsters. They deserve death, before they can destroy more...

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Of course I'm going to stop you. What else do you expect. Do you not realise how many she's killed?

120

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Ah, right. It is... rather interesting seeing you in person. And well, she *did* kill your father, right? That Eclipse person. I'm surprised you didn't take me up on that offer, truthfully.

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

@sottocapocarl.bsky.social Boss, we've got company. ...now what in the world are you? Some... living doodle?

130

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

[He nods at Carlos, signalling to the Soldatos in the room to clear out. As he leaves, he can be heard shouting.] EVERYONE, WE ONLY HAVE A FEW MINUTES BEFORE SHIT HITS THE FAN, AND WE NEED TO MINIMISE. CLEAR OUT, I REPEAT, CLEAR OUT!

150

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Understood. [He opens the tank and grabs her, along with some smelling salts.]

050

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Yes, sir. [He grabs the still unconscious Carmesí and throws her in the tank and closes it.]

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

allegiance has been settled, my Sottocapo, I am one of your own now.

020

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

...hm. This... changes a lot. The guilt you feel, the regret, for something that you didn't fully comprehend how deplorable those people were... You're not as much of a villain as you believe you are, Carlos. Maybe... maybe there's a more diplomatic ending to all this, somewhere. Either way, my

120

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Hm... so you knew she was going to... a bathhouse, was it? Did you know of the true nature of the bathhouse?

020

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

... @sottocapocarl.bsky.social Was what you told Cheshyre, about not knowing Olive's fate until it was too late a lie or you telling the truth?

050

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

It's been... far, far too long, old friend. I'm just glad to see you're doing okay without me. Heh, look at you, all fleshy and short again. Reminds me of when we first met, took W Corps offer together... They tried to turn me against you, but Carlos freed me.

120

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

bloodfiend, it was a monster, some... thing straight out of the horrors of man, devouring everything in its way. And then she acts like that. ...broke my arm too, got a replacement, though.

040

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Haahhh... so many supplies wasted. So many casualties. Unsure what Carlos would want me to do with the corpses he isn't bringing back, so I have just wrapped them up and put them into a freezer for now. Contacted suppliers, got some ammunition and weapons on their way. That... thing. Not even a

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

By the Wings... Have you any family, sir? Or is it just you?

020

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Of course, sir. I'll make sure to contact for resupplies and any extra equipment too.

020

Rabyte, Capo of the Thumb @rabyteofthethumb.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

3 with two unaccounted for. ...you can probably guess what happened to those two.
