[VIDEO] [SIGNAL SCRAMBLED]

[megamind]

[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. ]

GOOD.

And it's not ^rubaht it's ro-bot AND that's the wrong term as well we are mechs.

[megamind]

Mechs, schmechs.

You're ruhbahts! You just happen to own yourselves.

[raceme]

Is not a matter of ownership we weren't built we were born BUT I don't expect you to understand.

[megamind]

Whatever. You're walking, talking, thinking machines. You're rubahts!

[raceme]

ROBOTS like like Row-bot...WE aren't that anyway! We are autonomous robotic organisms.

[megamind]

Whatever, you're still what I said you were.

[raceme]

And what are you? Nohumanforsure.

[megamind]

I am fantastic.

So there.

[raceme]

Fan-tas-tic is not a species. WHAT makes you awesome anyway?

[megamind]

I'm brilliant, of course!

[raceme]

Repeating things won't make them true I HOPE you are aware of that.

[megamind]

Oh, you mean like your repeated denials? Yes, I know.

[raceme]

You are making no sense

[megamind]

You're just not smart enough to keep up.

[raceme]

Not really...I just don't bother engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

[megamind]

It's okay. You may be blue, but you're slow. It's a failing. Your failing. I mean, I don't have failings. Those are for other people.

[raceme]

I can assure you i'm anything but slow but if you are ignoramus enough to not understand that it's comprehensible.

[megamind]

Blah blah blah, lawbot. You're so boring. Running in circles. Well, I've work to do! Have fun idling your engines over there, smart guy.
