First Tide Turning ☠ [action + marauding + voice]

[lists_to_port]

Seems there's types about who'd make the village safe. Police; a village watch. They'll want prisons, next. A gallows.

Rather funny, that, considering the nature of the place, eh?

There's rogues about. Mind that; and if you can't, lock your doors.

Did you just say this place has a police force?

[Voice]

[lists_to_port]

Nah, mate---just that they're thinking of one, which to my mind is just as downright horrible. Can you imagine it? The fact that the Batman resides here is bad enough, with his skulking on top of buildings and wearing of the cape and such.

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

[Well it's not in place yet. That's something.]

Hmph! Horrible indeed! And with the number of heroes here in Luceti, I get the feeling a police force won't just be a bunch of mindless mooks to push around, either.

[lists_to_port]

Ugh. FAR too many heroes, this place. Strutting about in their tights and so forth. Batman. Bugger. The police force would be one to reckon with, that's certain.

[notshadowfever]

Batman? Is that supposed to be some sort of superhero name? [Seriously, people put "man" on the end of a noun and think they're so smart.] Perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess if they directed their 'justice' at the Malnosso.

[lists_to_port]

Aye, Batman. [There is so much venom packed into that one name. But you'd hate Batman too, if he'd nearly drowned your best friend.

And good Lord you've gotten Jack started on Batman.]

He waits in the shadows, doesn't he? Oh, aye! Waits in the shadows until he can dive right in and turn everything to MUSHY BOLLOCKS.

[I'd be more worried about my own sailing skills, but either way Eggman's about due to be on the end of an angry rant for once in Luceti anyway.]

He sounds like quite the annoying pest! I'd be less worried if I had any of my robots handy, but now I'll have to make sure he's not alerted to my plans.

[lists_to_port]

.....Robots? [Jack does not like the Metal Men, Eggman. And once his girlfriend got turned into one. He is wary.]

Still---best to filter things, I suppose. Or not journal them at all.

[notshadowfever]

Yes, robots. I had quite the army of them before I was dragged to this forsaken place. [Eggman's pretty oblivious to the idea that everything he does isn't fantastic.]

Very true, though, although it does somewhat take the fun out of villainy when you can't broadcast it for the world to hear.

[lists_to_port]

Dunno about that---sometimes villainy's best when the victims discover it much later, after they're far to your stern and a fair wind's behind you.

[notshadowfever]

Where's the challenge in that? The satisfaction of boasting your superiority to the enemy?

[lists_to_port]

That's the best part! You call out your taunts and boasts as he's watching his mainmast crash to the deck!

[notshadowfever]

I prefer a more direct confrontation. Besides, my villainy doesn't really take place in such an, erm, nautical setting as you seem to be referring to.

[lists_to_port]

Oh? What sort of villainy are you engaged with, mate?

[notshadowfever]

The very best kind: World domination. The building of one, glorious empire to secure my place in history as the greatest man who ever lived!

[lists_to_port]

Well what on earth do you want that for? You'd have to be.............

An administrator.

[The very thought! ANATHEMA!]
