re_alignment | [VIDEO] [SIGNAL SCRAMBLED]

[This comes in unclear. Where-ever it is, it's not a recognizable temple that anyone else has been in... so far. Very dimly lit, with tarps harvested from the recent appearnce of the Home Depot covering thigs in dirty gray, blazingly bright orange, and ever popular crap-ass fall colors. ]

[ Megamind is in a jury-rigged chair, turning tools over in his hands. He tilts his head, looking a little bemused at the camera. ]

My, we've gotten some new warm bodies -- and some new rubaht bodies [ he will never not mangle the word robot, apparently ] and so far, no more monsters. Very good, that. But I keep hearing about this gathering and that gathering and... honestly. I think some of you are missing the point.

Aren't we supposed to be creating something fantastic? Something marvelous out of a whole new world? And you guys barely have a farm going for the little organics over there! [ ...says a little blue organic. Well, he might have something sustaining him, so far. THe needs of one are much smaller than the many. ] I hear about venues and farms, but... then it keeps interrupting with gathering here and there to socialize. I guess some people need the shoulders of giants and all... [ This is Megamind, subtly mocking the very idea of working with someone. ]

Ah well. I guess none of you are quite what the giant rubaht godlings ordered! Carry on then with your meaningless little frivolities!

[ And with that he's off the screen. Megamind hasn't been a dick to a stranger in weeks, so, you know, had to get that out of his system. ]

Not with you saps, that's for sure!

Yeah, I got that. So what have you accomplished, if we're just wasting our time?

It's a secret. [He's so very prim about this, it's almost comical.] It can only be revealed at the dramatically appropriate time.

Oh.

[do you see this face, Megamind

/do you/]

I get it.

Oh, good. [ Megamind does not see that face, he just goes back to being kind of oblivious and smug. ]

Yeah. It's okay, my sister's really bad with doing things last-minute, too.

I don't even know your sister! [ And your sarcasm may be too subtle. ]

[actually, he wasn't being sarcastic.]

That wasn't...

...nevermind.

Should I know your sister?

I hope not. I was just making a comparison.

To what? Why are you comparing me to your sister? I'm not human! Or a girl! Or a human girl!

I was saying that if you didn't have anything planned and were saying something to cover it - like she does, a lot of the time - that's okay.

Well I don't! And I certainly don't need your permission to be-- okay, or whatever. I am a supervillain! I don't need anything!

...a supervillain, like, in comics?

...is there another kind?

I just haven't met one, before. They don't really happen where I'm from. [but now he's torn between Keen Interest, and well.

SUPER VILLAIN.

on the bright side, he's pretty sure you're no Lex Luthor.]

So that means you're used to fighting superheroes, too?

Fighting and defeating. [ Better let the kid know he's totally bad, right? ]

Hey, if comics have told me anything, it's that the hero wins just as much.

Bah. Biased reporting.

Really? How?

Because they never catch how awesome villains truly are.

So why don't you tell me?

What's there to tell? I'm awesome, I won, I rule a city.

Come on, that can't be all of it. [because seriously since when does the villain win

for an extended period of time, at least

~~unless this is some grimdark storyline~~]

How long have you, well, ruled?

Several months now. [ Does he look grimdark to you ] It's running smoothly under my rule, I assure you.
