Enter the (Ex-)Imperator.

There's a woman at the edge of the Parklands, knee-deep in grass. She looks like a soldier, one arm a metal prosthetic, a skull-shaped brand marking the nape of her neck, a machete in a sheath at her hip, and possibly other weapons hidden on her person. She's dirty, stained with dust and oil, and tension sings along the lines of her back and shoulders. Like she's waiting to be attacked.

At the same time, though, there's a distinctly misty look in her eyes as she stares out over the field before her. Flowers. Insects. Streams and lakes. Maybe she's hallucinating. Maybe she's dead.

She has one question, though, because beauty is so often a trap: "Is this water safe?"

He gives another theatrical bow before suddenly bursting into flames. Though they seem very controlled, keeping to just the size and shape he was, though slowly shrinking and rapidly wafting away as dense smoke. Soon, there's just a charred spot on the ground where he stood and a roiling black cloud drifting away with a good deal more purpose than most plumes do.

Show off.
