A deep breath and the soft click of a recording device causes the small Hex-tech recorder that's clasped in Vayne's tight grasp to abruptly come to life with a heartbeat akin to the mechanical sound or a wind-up music box. Sharp clicks and the occasional chiming, ringing every few seconds as the tape that's attached to the center of the old, scratched device leisurely starts moving.
"Night Hunter Diary. Entry 291, October. The signs of unrest in the city are quite obvious now to those few of us that can truly see the world for what it truly is. A grand scheme, an inescapable prison. The citizens seem extremely upset today, running and jumping around the streets as if they are preparing for a riot, excitement shining in their stares and cruel smiles worn on their round faces-"
"Shauna! Those rioters are kids you know! We are currently sitting on a bench in a public playground, after all."
Vayne pauses, shoots Lux an annoyed glare for interrupting her important recording and then gestures for the blonde aristocrat that's sitting next to her on the bench to be quiet for a moment. The brave huntress then casually resumes her Night Hunter diary entry.
"Ahem.. It is like I just said. Signs of unrest everywhere, forms that are practically overflowing with energy seeking to overthrow our kingdom. Why, just a few seconds ago I personally witnessed one of those so-called citizens stealing an item from another one in plain daylight! It saddens me to see our glorious country like this, utterly destroyed by-"
"They were just playing football, Shauna! And the child that grabbed the ball was the goalkeeper!" Luxanna interrupts the brooding huntress once more and Vayne scoffs at the young light mage as she pauses to adjust her crimson glasses.
"That's what they want you to think, Lux. That is those cunning, little demons' alibi for practicing their infernal thievery skills under the very nose of our valiant guardsmen! You only have to squint your eyes to see the short demons' sinister machinations for what they are!"
"Children playing with a ball at a playground?" Hopefully asks Lux with a wry smile playing on her lips.
"Tiny spies! Practicing for the day they attempt to get their hands on gold and jewels, or Gods forbid the royal crown!"
The blonde light mage facepalms as Luxanna tiredly slumps back on the bench with a disappointed expression plastered on her pretty face.
"You are beyond hope, Shauna…" The light mage solemnly mutters while covering her cringing visage with her hands, but Vayne's attention has already returned back to her precious Hex-recorder.
"Chaos, chaos and corruption are evident everywhere around us. Strife is rearing its angry head and war is sure to follo-"
"Stop doing that!" The blonde light mage finally shout-whispers with a beef red face when the younger noblewoman suddenly notices the weird looks that she and Vayne are receiving from the children's frowning parents. "Those two you are staring at are just siblings fighting over a new doll! Why do you have to take everything you see so out of context?!"
The Night Hunter grits her teeth at this third rude interruption. Shauna takes a deep breath to calm her nerves and then stares fixedly at the conflict of the two fighting siblings. A pale thumb determinedly presses down on the Hex-recorder's button and the tape starts spinning once more.
"Chaos, chaos and cruelty everywhere," The brooding pale huntress slowly mouths against the microphone of her whirling recording device, Vayne's eyes seemingly still locked on the cloth doll that is violently getting tugged between two bright-faced yelling toddlers. The Night Hunter's lips then briefly twist forming an ephemeral smile. "The deterioration of the nation is visible to everyone, Demacia's present state being more pathetic than Luxanna's bra size."
"Hey!" The insulted Lady of Luminosity loudly yells in indignation while covering her chest and staring daggers at Vayne.
