( can reverse prompt! )

whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am?

[Before I look for anything, are you okay with OCs? I'm also voicetesting and the like. I'm just so stoked that you're playing The Count! :3]

1.
you're out every night
well, that's what they say
you wonder why your ears are ringing
oooh, it's not your fault
you don't care, you're only thinking about --
Stromae, Ta Fête

Nous étions formidables -- // Stromae

[ The lights flicker above them, casting sporadic blitzes against the black waters beneath the piers. The sea's relatively quiet tonight, though Europoort's as busy as ever, enormous cargo ships passing through in the distance, the growl of engines distant and unremarkable. It's cold but Jean Louis isn't bothered by it despite his thin coat. He doubts Marcel is, either.

Erwin's men - a group of ten, most of them looking either very green, very stupid or both - are looking over the goods, trying to act educated about it and failing miserably. Eight boxes of weapons, all of them packed with great expertise and care. Expensive and high-tech, from the looks of them; if you don't know what to look for, obviously. In reality, the guns aren't worth even half of what the man's paying. They all know it - Jean Louis, Marcel, their own men - but all the same, they're selling that shit for all its worth and Erwin's group is eating it up. ]

Take a look at the scope. [ He steps forward, past Marcel, and points into the box. Adam, a spotty-looking man barely beyond his teenage years and clearly the designated "leader" of the bunch, stares at the weapon, frowning in concentration. ] Marvelous, don't you think? Perfect for short range.

[ Adam nods, smiling and exchanging a satisfied look with one of the others. Jean Louis' decently proud of Marcel's men for containing their amusement - after all, the objective isn't even adjustable. Fuck, imagine - this is what follows in the wake of de Groot. The old man would have been quite furious.

The thought's making him feel all kinds of satisfied. ]
