Your order is ready.

Come to the warehouse.

You know the one.

[With that, Hank will be waiting inside the Eschaton Society HQ below said warehouse for any sign of his cohort. However, he quickly grows tired of waiting and decides to crack open his journal and address the castle.]


What is power to you?

Comments

[jimfromit]

Of course.

I'll be with you momentarily.

I can assume we'll have something fun to talk about?

[cheerupemoborg]

Indeed. Also, I have something to show you.

[jimfromit]

Sounds promising.

See you in an hour.

[Within the hour Jim arrives. He's dressed in a short t-shirt and jeans number to blend into the background. He wants as fewer people as possible to know about this meeting.]

Honey I'm home.

[cheerupemoborg]

[Hank's there, having come up from the HQ, with a vial of something in hand.]

Good. You remember what we talked about, right?

dictated

[hvic]

Being able to get what you want with no difficulty.

[cheerupemoborg]

By force, you mean?

[hvic]

If it comes to that. There is always the power of persuasion.

[cheerupemoborg]

I see. So, what happens when neither option is viable?

Dictated forever!`

[i_got_this]

[A big fucking yawn before she answers this, she sounds miserable.]

Somethin' I'd really like to have right now.

[cheerupemoborg]

You've got none whatsoever?

[i_got_this]

I don't have the energy to do anything with it, that's for sure.

[cheerupemoborg]

Ah, apathy. It must be nice, with no worries.

Hank

[molotov]

Do I have to come pick it?

Molotov

[cheerupemoborg]

Of course not. Just tell me where to send it.

Hank

[molotov]

The lobby is fine.

Molotov

[cheerupemoborg]

You can expect it there, then.

[Sure enough, another Manhunter will be there. This one with a simple camera lens in place of any semblance of facial features, standing at five foot nothing.]

So Much Dictating

[not_a_codfish]

[Hook sounds a might pensive]

Power is being able to keep one's underlings in thrall, whilst keeping your enemies at bay.

[cheerupemoborg]

Sounds like you put importance in being untouchable.

[not_a_codfish]

If one is invincible, one can accomplish much. But perhaps that is not the whole definition of power. For one can be unharmed, yet remained trapped.

[Say, being stuck on a magical island battling a boy for all eternity...]

I suppose, one must also be able to bring forth one's visions of the world into reality. To fit the world to one's own image, if you will.

[knock_knock]

[Well that's definitely an interesting question.]
The ability to control a situation, and receive the desired outcome.

Of course, how you could possibly do so varies....

[cheerupemoborg]

So in other words, to get what you want.

[knock_knock]

If you wish to put it bluntly, yes. I believe my way is a tad more poetic however.

You don't happen to have an answer of your own, do you?

[foughtfortheusers]

Strength. Control.

[Rinzler's not really one to answer journal entries like these, but he's getting bored with just patrolling and amusing his Zorua. There's a rumbling noise.] Reason you ask?

[cheerupemoborg]

The classics.

Does there need to be a reason?

[foughtfortheusers]

Not with users. Users are like that.
