Second Run - Shoebox Fort

[speeding]

So. If you need me I'm in my fort.

On aisle 24. With the men's running shoes.

All invaders will be questioned and possibly subjected to ridicule if they do not bring approriate offerings.

Appropriate offerings include, but are not limited to, real clothes please for the love of god.

Thank you. This has been a PSA by your local evil overlord.

Or something.

Wait. When did you graduate to evil overlord?

[speeding]

I'm ambitious, what can I say.

I figure I haven't seen anyone else claim the title yet. Better make it mine while I had the chance.

Anyone what wants it can come find me and try to get it from em and my fort. I have an arsenal of shoes that I am not afraid to use.

[treeleopardess]

You can have it. That's a lot of work, especially when all the heroes decide you need overthrowing.

[speeding]

Dang, thanks for the reminder.

This is sounding like too much work.

I shall have to consider your words.

[treeleopardess]

I'm good at making laziness sound like wise advice.

[speeding]

A council will be convened. I may have to step down from evil overlord and let the Men's Waders take the position.

Of course I'll still manipulate the moves behind the scenes, but when the crusaders come I can get out the back while they take down the boots.

Because I'm brilliant like that.

[treeleopardess]

Any good scheme should include an escape plan. It's just common sense.

And the boots shouldn't complain--they must have known what they were getting into, after all.

[speeding]

Hey, where'd I be without you? You're my official evil scheme critic now. I need you, obviously.

Yeah, it was part of the job contract right? "Be willing to stand in as figure-head while real evil mastermind makes good on his escape."

[treeleopardess]

Are you using your masculine wiles to try to lure me away from Throne? Because I'm not that kind of girl.

[speeding]

Can't I even tempt you a little Bastet? I mean, I know you've got previous commitments with the nemesis, but I promise I can make it worth your while in laughter and possibly flattery?

Who will critique my schemes if you won't, after all?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Tempt away all you want, sworn-enemy.

[speeding]

You have all these advantages on me arch-nemesis! Can't I at least get a really kick ass evil scheme critic?

Since the New Girl seems to like you so much, why don't you try her? She's prone to nerdspasms anyway. So it seems appropriate enough.

[speeding]

Ran? The one with the dinosaur? The one who uses words I don't think I can pronounce?

You sure you can handle that much awesome, if I get her one my side, nemesis?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

That's my queen.

[treeleopardess]

I'm loyal, if nothing else.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

You are plenty more than loyal, Bastet. Would you like me to start a list?
