Ficum vocamus ficum, et scapham scapham.

Although I'm surprised to be sought, I speak when spoken of.

....You must be V...

I just need to know if you got the age-changing cookie that you gave to someone from the Bryant Park Hotel, like everyone else.

I am indeed. To be fair, might I have your name in turn?

As of late, I haven't had time to give or take any baked goods.

Ah, I'm Jack Carter.

Hm...one of those effected said you have been with him earlier and given him the thing he ate that made him age ten years all of a sudden.

A pleasure to meet you, then, although I do wish we were better met.

Interesting, that, and especially since I've done no such thing.

I guess it's the best you can get in a place like this.

Look, the poor kid's blind. Is there anyone who could have convinced him that they were you? Or...anyone else that goes by "V"? It is just a single letter...there's bound to be more than one, I guess.

Under our set of circumstances, I suppose so. Admittedly, it could be worse...

Rion? I suppose it's possible, since my affectations and eccentricities are open to imitation...

Ironic. A man in a mask and the impostor can't apply that.

To the best of my knowledge, I am the only 'V' about. I've an apprentice in the city, but she's been busy as well and certainly isn't the sort to do anything of this nature.

You know what, it's not really all that important any more. I fell like I'm chasing my own tail here. Between mysterious cookies of all things, a girl claiming to have been threatened and that I need to talk to a dead man, and theoretical giant monsters...I think this city is off it's rocker.

I'll apologize for any addition I've made to the madness, although I'll include confirmation: it is indeed a madhouse, and now that I seemed to have quite recovered my manners, allow me to extend a late welcome to our strange city.

It seems to me you seem to be a good sort; feel free to stop in at the New Museum, if you'd rather speak face-to-face.

Yeah, uh...thanks...

I might do that, then. Coming to see you, that is.

Wait, you're not a cartoon character, some sort of talking animal or someone that likes wearing tight, brightly colored spandex, are you?

Please! As unfortunate a situation as the city is in, its inhabitants are its best element. After all, as it has been asked: what is a city, but the people?

I am but a man, I assure you, and spandex isn't my style.

Best? Not so much.
If a city is it's people, this city suffered an aneurysm.

No? If you or I were here all alone, I imagine it would be a poorer place to be. Some of the people present within our community are unfortunate additions, but others are of fine character and excellent company.

Yeah...well...when your introduction to a new city is a talking DOG, it doesn't seem so great. I've at least managed to find a few people that don't make me doubt my own sanity.

A talking dog? I wasn't aware we had that, though I'm not surprised; I've met a talking cat.
