RIDICULOUSLY tentative test post for anemoi

1 [VILLAIN APP]

*The pair of you have been giving the goody-two-shoes in Sirocco a run for their money. Say what you will about Misery, for someone forced to do what she does, she's dedicated to her job.*

My Lord. I've helped throw chaos into their ranks as you have commanded, but a few of them seem determined still to resist. Shall I send our forces to take them out, or shall I handle the situation personally?


2 [VILLAIN APP]



*Gee, and you were making such good progress too. Guess who's just shown up. Hint: Bluh bluh.*

And here I thought you were a bunch of bumblers. I must admit you've done better than I expected! Unfortunately, my Lord is already on his way to his goal. Still, I suppose I have some time to play with you all.


3 [REGULAR APP]

*So the fight is over, she'd disappeared for a while with her master -- and then reappeared in the same state as everybody else. Needless to say, she hasn't exactly had a cordial welcome, and she's already pretty defensive when you come to visit her.*



Let me guess. More statements about how you're keeping an eye on me, how little you trust me, etc. etc.? You all must enjoy taunting the amnesiac villain. Make it quick. I was enjoying my brief time alone, and I would like to return to it, if you please.

They do indeed. It is quite tiresome.

Oh ho! So it's ready, then! How marvelous. Shall I set up the bowling pins, as they say?

Scatter them as you'd like. It took quite a bit of effort, but with the time that you've managed to secure me, I've finally started to mass-produce the Red Crystal.

[Something you, yourself, might be wary about by the end, Misery...]

Picking up an old plan and being able to finish it like this is actually quite refreshing.

*Perhaps later. Not that, in all honesty, she could do anything about it even if she wanted to.*

So everything is finally coming together then, my Lord? I am happy to have been of assistance. Still, I shall continue to impede their progress. No sense in letting them run about as they please.

Oh. Why, if you're volunteering.

... This certainly is a nice change from your little outburst back in the Floating Island.

[misery_hates_company]

That was... a mild slip on my part, my Lord.

*Not an unwelcome one, by any regards. But the Crown's full pull is back in effect and she can feel it.*

It will not happen again.

[doctor_despot]

[Not that he believes you, Misery, but it really is nice to have you back on the winning team. ... he'll be keeping a better watch on you.]

Mm. I should hope not. Things are easier when you choose to follow me, aren't they? What else could you have done with your "free will"?

*Oh, you know. Read a book. Take a walk. Actually live her life on her own terms for the first time in the many, many years since she'd been a fool and had that godforsaken helmet made.*

I'm sure nothing of importance, my Lord. You are absolutely right. This is much simpler.
