[ Stefano can only smile as he lifts his head up. The vision that he had reminded him a lot of Union, and he wonders if they are getting a little lazy with their brainwashing. ]
Of course, of course... death rarely works like it should in here. [ He breathes in deep before he brushes the dust off the front of his clothes with one hand. In his other hand, he holds a camera in a tight grip. ]
But... [ His index finger taps against the top of his camera as he carefully looks around at his surroundings -- an empty cottage that looks like it has been abandoned for some time. ] It doesn't quite feel right. [ As someone who has once controlled STEM, he knows how it really works. ] So, it's something else, then, hm?
[ Stepping out of the abandoned cottage he found himself in, he starts down the road. He only stops when he encounters someone else, and offers a pleasant smile to them. ] Lost? Me too.
ASHES, ASHES

Truly magnificent. [ Stefano all but coos as he looks upon the grotesque creature lovingly. ] Of course... not as beautiful as my Obscura, but I am an artist... while the one who made you... well, they did put a lot of love into you, didn't they?
It's almost a shame to -- [ He steps back abruptly as the shark suddenly starts to emit a loud piercing sound. Even though it is stopped, somehow it still is able to make noises! Stefano covers his ears -- his camera pressed against the side of his head to block out the sound, but as he does so, he notices that more and more clouds of ash are starting to rush in his direction. ]
-- ah, no one likes a critic, do they?
[ Whoops. He might be in trouble. ]
HEART GAME What is fear? Is that not just being ignorant to the beauty of horror?
