[ The screen turns on to show nothing but an almost completely black room. If the viewer watches long enough, their eyes might adjust to see dull shapes of what could be furniture but it's hard to tell. Then something darker than the gloom, a black-on-black shadow, moves past the screen and a voice comes across. For some, it will be audible and some, perhaps not. ]

What a charming little city you all have here. So bright and colourful, so full of life.

[ A disembodied mouth appears against the blackness of the background, grinning a razor smile. It's followed shortly after by a pair of bright gold eyes, the voice low and amused and confident, ]

And yet like most things there is a touch of darkness to it. With that in mind I pose a riddle, for those of you who choose to play along: when is a captive not a captive and a cage not a cage?

That's one way of putting it! He's bad news, Penny, very bad news.

[Tooth doesn't want to tell Penny what to do, but...the other woman was kind to her. Turning a blind eye to a conversation that may well result in Pitch antagonizing Penny? Is not something Tooth wants to stand by and let happen; it would be no way at all to repay Penny's kindness!]

My friends and I fought tooth and nail to keep him from wiping out belief in our world. He's dangerous!

Wiping out belief? Like, in you guys? That's awful.

Thank you, Toothiana. Really.

[She's usually all for giving people chances no matter how creepy they are, but... well. Maybe she can give this guy a chance from a distance.]

[treasuretooth]

Don't mention it, Penny. Just call me if you need help, okay? I've dealt with him before and I'm not afraid to do it again.

[Regardless of how badly that might go.]

[anunluckypenny]

Okay. I will, I promise.
