[cheerupemoborg]

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?

[jimfromit]

I do.

You wanted me to perform one of my little shows whilst that expedition is taking place.

I'm guessing it's time?

[cheerupemoborg]

It is.

[He gives the vial a little shake.]

And this is how you're going to do it.

dictated

[hvic]

Being able to get what you want with no difficulty.

[jimfromit]

[He gives the vital a sideways stare for a moment before continuing.]

Is that a new toy?

[cheerupemoborg]

Something like that.

It's the key to everything.

[cheerupemoborg]

By force, you mean?

[jimfromit]

Oh keys...I'm ever so good with keys.

[Words from his past ring through his head. "In a world of locked rooms, the man with the key is king"]

What exactly does it do?

[cheerupemoborg]

They're nanites. Willhunters, to be exact.

They're capable of reading and reprogramming the mind. Very useful, as you can imagine.

With this, 'recruitment' for our endeavour will be easy.

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.

Hank

[molotov]

Do I have to come pick it?

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.

[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....

[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?

[hvic]

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

[jimfromit]

The time saver is much appreciated.

These little cuties will remove the need to hypnotise participants with shiny baubles to get them to do my bidding. Very good.

Now then…did we agree on a scenario?

[cheerupemoborg]

You've got none whatsoever?

Molotov

[cheerupemoborg]

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

[cheerupemoborg]

So in other words, to get what you want.

[cheerupemoborg]

Sounds like you put importance in being untouchable.

[cheerupemoborg]

The classics.

Does there need to be a reason?

[cheerupemoborg]

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