Arcadia’s always been a land of scum and villany, where even the purest of souls fear the day the tiniest bit of dirt corrupts everything they ever touched. Where so called good men scour the globe for dirty laundry to titilate the masses, all masqueraded as a fight for the truth.
Even if it means that their entire lives are ruined in the process.
Even if they have to twist and manipulate the facts to do so.
Even if it means that they make heroes into monsters to give the people what they apparently want.
Colt makes his living off the evening news, just give him something…something he can use. And that’s all you’ve ever been good for Colt is using people.
You used good old Caesar to get the scoop of the century that you couldn’t even remember in the end.
You used Kaiju to promote the next big hero off the block only to turn on him the moment he wouldn’t give you the exclusive.
You refused to even talk to my father until you realized his quest to save me could be the feel good story that’d warm everyones hearts.
You used TEC to boost your approval ratings and even created a big news splash with that little tampering that led to an entire district going boom.
You used Narcissa for your own personal romance story but things got a little hazy when the scoop turned personal and thou you still haven’t used that juicy little tidbit, and people think it’s because you care about your Narcy Doll or you’re withholding the story of the millenium because of what’ll happen to the people if you do.
Truth is Colt, you’re just waiting to milk it for all its worth. The truth about the Uprising and it’s illustrious leader is a throwaway story that gets shuffled into obscurity but the chance to pinpoint a true all out war between the Pantheon and it’s biggest threat, that is something that goes down in the history books.
And good old Colt Ramsey is there at the very beginning to it’s absolute bitter end. Giving the people what they want.
But if you truly cared about what they need, you’d have narc’d on Narcissa the moment you remembered.
If you had a single ounce of integrity in your putrid soul, you’d known that true men of the people protect them with the truth but you’ve never cared about the people.
Because when it’s all said and done, you’ve never told them a goddamn thing.
But I’ll tell them everything and more, all the dirty laundry of Colt Ramsey.
Every manipulation, every half baked lie, every sin laid out to bare.
All spoken by a hero who truly cares about Arcadia, who wants to ensure your story doesn’t destroy it in the end.
But don’t worry Colt, you’ll get that front page headline you’ve always dreamed of.
Because people always love it when you lose.
And buddy, the moment you heard my name, that’s the only thing you were ever going to do.
