Heroic Act #2 - The Bank

[hvymetalheroics]

[It is afternoon, and there is a an alien flopped out over a chair somewhere, looking particularly exhausted. He addresses the camera not with theatrics today, but with a sort of teeth-grinding irritation.]You know, I made some career choices in life very young. I thought being bad meant going into supervillainy. Thriving on chaos, leaving ruin in

That was an impressive rant.

[She's proud of you, braving the masses!]

[hvymetalheroics]

That place was the hell reserved for the common man. On earth. And I though the educational system was a festering pustule on humanity.

[He rubs at his eyes, weary from the whole mess.]

But I am now a man of means and property. And also am legally able to deal with Stormer on the House of Pizzazz issue, so that I may still have income, but she'll remain in control of the club, and a place to put funding from said venture, and then move it into other ventures.

Which also involves getting some storage space, so I can, uh, relieve yours of the battle suit.

[He hasn't forgotten it, in all that moving of things from the apartment. It just has size requirements. He could have just dehydrated it, one supposes; wouldn't be the first time he packed gear that way.]

[neveradamsel]

I know. I went through something similar when I went. Only problem is that I had previous accounts under a different ID bolt, so I had to go through two weeks worth of paperwork trying to prove that I am who I am.

[Her eyes will never be the same.]

Really? What happens if I happen to want to keep it?

[She doesn’t really, she’s kidding.]

[hvymetalheroics]

I'm thinking my four days of back and fourth was expedited because they got tired of dramatic monologues.

[He senses her humor, and smirks for it.]

I'd have to think of some user manuals for you. But I doubt it's in your style. Much to bulky. Also, I don't think the control suits is in your size.

[At this point, he has to pause and tell himself, in his best inner Minion voice: Megamind don't get any ideas about building Roxanne anything like a super suit it will go over poorly.]

[tattooed_jet]

Such....long-winded epiphanies you have.

[YAWN.]

[hvymetalheroics]

You're just jealous that I can produce fantastic dramatic speeches.

[tattooed_jet]

Oh, indeed. That must be it.

However, your entire oration has missed the entire point. This is not our system, but that of our captors'. It is a form of psychological torture, and as such...I see it was effective.

[hvymetalheroics]

Except that nearly every culture with a monetary system has one of these torturous devices in place trust me. If there's a bank, I've probably robbed one back in the day.

[So there. He's sure there are OTHER robot banks.]

...oh, well, glad I'm not the only one that's recently had troubles with that place. Not, not that I'm saying that I approve of it- no, but it's just, well it's ridiculous what they put you through over there, isn't it?

At least you had an actual account though- me, I had to go through the whole mess just to be told I didn't have an account even though I've been working in an office in this metal mish-mash of a city for a month! -and, and then I had to fill out more information- not like I know why they even need half of the information they ask for, what does it all have to do with anything anyway? It's, it's mad...!

[hvymetalheroics]

Oh, I hear you little metal... blue...buddy.

[Megamind does not know what to make of Wheatley initially, tilting his head for a moment curiously. It's like a brain bot, only... with less flair. Huh.]

[Video]

[iam_not_amoron]

[His center optic bobs in his rendition of a nod.]

-speaking of which, you seem quite the unusual shade of, um...blue. You're... Are you feeling well or is that a natural sort of thing. For you.

[Video]

[hvymetalheroics]

Oh. Yeah. I'm fine. And blue. It's a thing.

[He waves his hand, dismissing it. Yup, he's an alien. No big around here, right? Right?]
