For Anemoi

[greatevillaugh]

1. (Action)

Jack had regained a few of his memories through gathering anemoi, and had started making it a habit to tag along on expeditions going out to find these small but valuable gems, which he’d found fairly useful. He’d taken half to the lab to restore his memories, which is what allowed him to remember what that strange backpack he’d arrived with was really for, and he stashed the other half figuring he’d need funding for things. However, Jack had gotten impatient with this, and decided he wanted all the anemoi. After intentionally falling behind the others, Jack activated his heli-pack, hovering in the air, watching his teammates. Whenever he’d see one closing in on an anemoi, he thought, he’d swoop in and snatch it before they had a chance to.

Looking, Jack saw one of the others approaching one of the anemoi. As planned, Jack made a dive for it, grabbing the anemoi...and crashing as he miscalculated and crashed, tumbling into the ground.

“...ow...”

He really needed more practice with his heli-pack, he thought. He’d gotten a bit unused to using it during the time when he didn’t even remember what it was. Looking at the person he’d been trying to snatch the anemoi from, Jack screeched, “You can’t have it, it’s mine!”

[Jack is sitting in a chair, leaning forward, looking a bit frustrated as he begins whining.] How do people even get stuff around here without ebay? Whatever. [Then he shifts from whining to simply asking, sitting back further in his seat and relaxing a bit.] Does anyone know how to get useful stuff around here? Like...welding guns? Car motors? Bike chains?

3. (Action)

Jack had the monkey staff. Jack was using the monkey staff, giving him a monkey tail and monkey-like facial features, and he was screaming with distinct monkey-like screeching as he swung from street lamps, scrambled up drainage pipes, and generally ran amok. He wondered if there was a tire swing somewhere around here...

...Exactly what uses are we TALKING about here?

Building Jack-bots, obviously.

You can't even make something up that doesn't sound like something out of a supervillain handbook?

Re: 2

[greatevillaugh]

Wait, there's a villainy handbook? I didn't get enough of my memories back to know for sure, but I bet if there is? I probably wrote it. Or could write it. Even with the little I did get back so far, I'm pretty sure I could make at least a good villainy pro-tip article. First you gloat, then you enact the evil plan, and never forget your evil laugh.

Are you for real? You can't be for real. You honestly think there'd be a book on supervillainy?

Re: 2

[greatevillaugh]

If there's not, there should be.

I don't really think the profession of "supervillain" is entirely conducive towards job training. For one thing, that would imply giving others the chance to one-up you in supervillainy.

Re: 2

[greatevillaugh]

It does? Eh...I don't see it.

Re: 2

[all_onis_are_true]

Isn't supervillainy by default usually about gaining power by any means necessary? If you have someone else gaining power, then you'd have competition you might not appreciate. So why give them the advantage of your experience?

...I can't believe you've got me actually thinking about this.

Yeah, but it really helps to gain power if you're not outnumbered. That's why there are evil apprentices and evil team ups. If someone gains power, but you're their evil hero, they might end up being your loyal evil minion.
