"You must be the infamous vox." He says walking forward hand extended forward a wide sharp grin on his face. "what a pleasure to meet my competition face to face. Introductions are in order. I'm Gier Guld. A provider of various services, most known for my insurance business. Greed overlord, recently set up shop in pride. I'm here to provide you with a bit of competitive marketing here in the pride ring."

"You have been playing on a board without a proper opponent for a long time. We all need a good rival every once in a while to drive up the profits."

Greed… greed… right, one of Mammon’s fucks. “In the flesh— well,” he pulls one hand from his pocket, shaking Gier’s hand steadily, never letting his attention stray. It certainly puts his own sharp grin in comparison to something so predatorily shark-toothed. “As close as you get with this form.” Never let anyone know about the blood in the water or the hungry predators will come out, ready to hit fast and hard and merciless.

He raises one eye, quite literally, the wider, corrupted one higher on the display. “Pride’s own Radio Demon might take unkindly to that, but I’ll bite— you’re not wrong.” He says, slipping his hand back into his pocket. The game of Monopoly hadn’t much changed in the decades since it had first been introduced, and he’d always sort of seen his position as owning most of the board. “Stagnation’s a real threat when you’re the only monopoly.”

Insurance… not an industry he’s had any hand in, and that maybe, he thinks, that was a mistake.
