-While trying to get a closer look at the brooch-
You know, with all the times you've been stalking me, I've been beginning to wonder if it's my girlfriend you're really interested in.

Constantin's brow furrows and gets a rather nasty scowl.
Constantin: ♠Hmph. Seems you have been misinterpretating my actions in the past few days. While I think you're scum unworthy of even glancing at mon piaf, you have been a wealth of information to me. And for that, I thank you~♠
Constantin notices that Tagg is trying to get a good look at the badge, so he tosses it at Tagg's feet.
Constantin: I miss my old job. I'm pretty sure some organisation out there could use my skills. Possibly half-heartedly align myself to Illusion. ♠Anything just to be a thorn in your side.♠

Constantin looks away and chuckles.
Constantin: Outside of the advice I received from Brutus when I was young, Lysandre was the only one who's words resonated with me. The world is split into two kinds of people, those who give and those who take. Once you clear out all the deadwood -the dregs and scum of society- the world can become beautiful once again, like Ho-oh from it's pyre.
Constantin smirks.
Constantin: Since the cat's out of the bag, Espionage and Interrogation was my department. I was often called in when Enhanced Interrogation Techniques needed to be used.

Umbra: Now now, Tromba, I-
-Notices Tagg and Constantin-
One moment.
-Heads over-
What's going on here?
Contact Me!That's a funny word, for torture. At least I never made beings suffer when I killed them, even Cipher.
-Snorts as I notice Umbra and Vierr-
I bet you vote for the Front National too.

Constantin snarlsConstantin: I will not hesitate to make a demonstration out of you, monsieur Tagg
Constantin's normally calm and cool demeanour becomes noticibly less composed when Umbra and Vierr come into the picture
Constantin: I didn't know you brought a gang with you. Typical.

Tromba: <Who is this creep?>
Umbra: I don't know, but he's definitely bad news.
Contact Me!I didn't summon them, they just happened to be around.
-Capitalizing on Constantin's uneasiness-
What's the matter, your tricks don't work on an audience or something?
-To Umbra-
He's a prick whose hellbent on ruining my relationship with Fool so that he can take her for himself.

Constantin (technically) smiles at the group.
Constantin: Au contrare, I have dealt with bigger crowds before. Though, I must say, I've never had such a crowd where everyone in it represented each of the Quadratic powers.
Constantin regains his composure, but does not lose his "smile"
Constantin: Truth is, I have been trying to get mon piaf to come around to the idea that her significant other is a horrible human being.

Constantin: Oh? I see one Auric, one Ghost Obscuric, one who is currently focusing on his Dark Obscuric quadrant and moi, a Psychic.
Constantin's brown eyes glow pink for a brief moment, before resuming back to the default.
Constantin: -Flexing his fingers- If you want to discuss things of a different nature, I am happy to oblige.

"Uh..."
<Genesect: "Oh yes. The lab. Let me tell you what you did to me. Humans. Dirty, weak, fleshy humans. I died long before humans came to be. And that was a good thing. I saw, from beyond, how you live, what you do. You grab. You reach out, clutching at everything around you and pull, pull, pull! I died, before you came to ruin this earth, with your machines and your science and your pollution. But no. You had to bring me back. Raise me from beyond, to walk this earth again. But not free, no, of course not. I awoke again to find myself trapped, in a tiny cage, drugged, kept weak and alone. At first, you merely let me huddle there, pathetic. But of course, that wasn't enough. Soon came the tests. Pain, damage, attacking, defending, power tests, samples of flesh, mind games, drugs and drugs and drugs. You humiliated me. You took my freedom, took my strength, and mocked me. But humiliation was not sufficient. You wanted a weapon, a tool of war and unnatural death against yourselves. And you needed control. So you opened up my head, and placed one of your machines, a computer, inside. You ripped open my nervous system and installed a cannon on my back, unnatural and unwanted. You took me and made me something less, something base. Humans. Dirty, weak, fleshy humans. It was a good thing that I died before you came to be. You are a plague and a pox on the surface of this planet, and deserve to be wiped out. Humanity. I can think of no word worse, no word more profane. Humanity.">

Umbra: - hears Tagg and gives Constantin a Death Glare- ...That explains it.
Tromba: <Can I eat him?>

Contact Me!-In lieu of anything better I place a convenient Reaper Cloth on my head-
That's rich coming from you, an unrepentant former member of a group that tried to kill everyone who couldn't cough up the entrance fee.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite....
Gygax: <Well, I can see when I'm not part of the conversation, I'll just be stepping backwards without breaking eye contact now.>
-Gygax takes a few steps back before running towards the manhole again-
Right... I can see your issues... Unfortunately I'm not in any position to offer an apology. All I can offer is a statement that not everyone forsakes the dead or warps the flesh as much as those who revived you. It's up to you to figure out if I am speaking truthfully.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Lumiose
Noticing everyone trying to shield their minds from his mind-reading ability (sans Tagg, since he can't do much about the Reaper Cloth), Constantin laughs.
Constantin: Oh this is rich~ The oldest trick in the book . Tell me, what kind of parlour street magician do you take me for?
Constantin's eyes glow a much brighter pink.
Constantin: I think you decrepit lot are woefully underestimating my ability~
???: Oh Constantin, won't you learn
Constantin ignores the voice in his head.
Constantin: -To Tagg- Nothing in this world is free, Monsieur.
