"Hello Everyone! This is your favorite internet idol, Susan Broushard. It's been a short year since the incident, today I have an exclusive recording of an interview with an alt human in Lafayette Parish Jail. He only agreed if we didn't release anything that might leave clues towards his identity. Other news stations refused him so he refused their interviews, only I the internet news idol Susan agreed to his request. "(Susan)

Susan waves her hand and the audio recording starts.

"So, first off, can you tell me how we can know the veracity of what you are telling us?"(Susan)

"Well some background information is that I have many contacts in the local crime gangs as I have worked with them before the incident. Also after the incident started I was arrested for causing civil unrest."

"I see; so can you tell us about some of the crime that alt humans are getting into?"(Susan)

"Well most alt humans have a certain trait that is stronger than most vanilla humans. I once met an alt human that was 3 times as strong as the strongest recorded vanilla human. Well this guy was able to rip open the grating on banks as if it was paper. He was a real monster.

Also there are alt humans that specialize in hearing and sight so they can spy on politicians and black mail them. But what’s probably the most heinous is that magicians that are able to use transfiguration spells are able to kidnap girls, transfigure their appearances to something else and then pimp them out with impunity."

"That's preposterous, everyone knows that you can only change appearances to a certain extent. Changing someones weight, or reverting their appearance back to a regular human."(Susan)

"Ha! Who told you that? The government? The politicians? Do you really think they would tell people that with a simple ability you can walk around as anyone you want?"

"But, but, there must be some limit."(Susan)

"Well thankfully there are only a few magicians that are willing to do such a massive spell as it has a high difficulty and failure is high. Also most magicians that are capable of such spells are already making bank on making women skinny through spells."

"Well, that's a relief, I suppose. Can you tell us about some of the gangs in the area?"(Susan)

"Well the most numerous is the Beastie Boys. Not very original and as the name suggests it is filled with beast type alt humans. They are probably the "mildest" gang in the area, mostly interested in turf, but not much else. In fact, as far as I know, it originated as a vigilante group trying to keep their neighborhoods safe, but then later evolved into a gang family. Also the neighborhoods they claim offer some of the safest housing in Lafayette if you can afford the extra $50 a month in protection fees.

Another gang is the Swamp Things. These guys are dangerous and unpredictable. They originate from coon asses from the bayou that somehow all became alligator type alt humans. As such they have some crazy strong skin and strength. Not the brightest bunch, so they resort to strength to solve their problems.

The last one is a gang family that was around before the incident but escalated their activities after the incident. We just call em the Family. Not much is more is known about them except their leader is very charismatic and they have been making power plays against the other gangs in the area."

"That is quite the information. Thanks for sharing that with us. But none of that seems to be super dangerous to know. Is there anything else that you want to share with us that would make you afraid for your life?"(Susan)

"Yea. There's another group of people called the Nightwings. They come from a variety of backgrounds and are of all different groups, including gangs. The only way to tell if they are in the group, is that they have a pair of wings across the front of their chests over their clavicle.

Whats interesting about this group is that the only thing binding them togeth is an oath. Generally called the Nightwing's oath, it entails that we will never initiate violence and that we will defend the innocent. If you break either of these two rules while you are in the group, your life is forfeit."

"Well they don't sound so bad. What's the problem?"(Susan)

"The leader is crazy strong and nobody knows who he is or what he looks like. The only thing we know is that he is represented by two wings."

"Well how do you know if he is strong if nobody knows who he is or what he looks like? Seems like a ghost story to me me."(Susan)

"I was there when he first made his appearance on the stage. It was a year ago just under a month after the incident started. A child was killed by a stray bullet in a fight between the Swamp Things and the Family. Unfortunately, the child in question was the grandkid of one of the officers in the Beastie Boys.

The notice went out. A gang war was going to start at Girard Park that very night and everyone who was anyone needed to be there to represent their group. I was there with my gang of time, which has since disbanded, and there must have been the entire alt human population of Lafayette there because there was a huge amount of people, all glaring fiercely at one another.

In the center were the three faces of the Beastie Boys, the Swamp Things, and the Family. It looked like they were arguing but I was too far away to hear what. The face of the Swamp Things struck the face of the Beastie Boys with a sneak attack and the entire area erupted into a sea of gunfire and melee. You see some alt humans have evolved into creatures that have skin too tough for bullets to work on so other methods had to be used.

All of a sudden all the lights in the area simultaneously exploded in a flash of light. Everyone looked at the lights in shock, then jumped when we heard a bestial roar like no other near the leaders. I tell you now Susan, it put the fear of death in my very bones and from the looks of the alt humans near me they felt the same. There in the center of the mass of people lay the three faces in utter defeat along with a cloaked figure standing next to a monument. How the monument got there, I don't know, but there it was.

After everyone was staring dumbfounded towards the center a giant pair of wings erupted from the back of the cloaked figures back and with another roar, the figure launched himself into the air and he said, "I was fine with you wantonly murdering each other and went minded my own business, but when you killed an innocent it became my business. Let this monument stand as a promise in my involvement from now on. If you agree with my cause, take up my mark and help. But beware, if you use my mark against my ideals you are betting your life." then he grabbed the faces of the Swamp Things and the Family and flew off."

"He sounds like quite a romanticist if he thought that would be enough to stop a gang war. How did the fight end?"(Susan)

"Well the Swamp Things and the Family were in quite the uproar over the abduction of their leader so they mobilized their forces and ran after the flying figure to try and recover them. The face of the Beastie Boys just laughed grabbed his men and left as well. The rest of us just looked around and left in flocks, no longer interested in fighting for the position of top dog, as that position already had someone in it.

A few people went up and investigated the monument, they were the ones to discover that there was actually writing on it along with instructions on how to join his group. It was good that they did too, because the next morning the monument was gone, like it was never there."

"So what you are saying is that, by himself, he ended a gang war in one night?"(Susan)

"Well he ended most of the fighting that night. There was some minor gang fights the following few nights, but they were quickly subdued and turned in to the police. Also it seems that after he flew away he gave his two captives to the police custody."

"Well, that story gives us much to think on. Is there any other information that you can tell us?"(Susan)

"That is all. I hope it helps give you and your viewers a better understanding of the social turmoil at the time."

"It does indeed thank you for your help."(Susan)

The recording ends.

"Well viewers, thank you for tuning in, but our times up. If you liked the video, please like the video at the bottom and feel free to discuss the interview below."(Susan)
