2nd Game: The Master of Mockery

[hatefulcircuits]

(So AM's been keeping to himself for a while since he kind of...well, he died for not taking part in the pranking, but no one has to know that! NO ONE!

But there was a lovely surprise when he checked his mail one day: Mayfield sent him one of this favorite powers...and apparently, people were already being body swapped and having their bodies disfigured and transformed? AM's prepared to have an amazing field day.)

Action: Around Mayfield

(Anyone who bumps into AM today will see him proudly walking down the street with a bit of a bounce in his step as if he had absolutely no damns to give. Suffering from poison joke, are you? Don't worry; this guy can make it worse.)

Well well well, it looks like someone already beat me to the punch. I commend you for your efforts, but I think you can do much better than this. These forced transformations aren't agonizing in the slightest; those under the effect of these stupid flowers have it much easier than they think.

With that said, I do have the power transform everyone back to their original forms...

((OOC: I need to set up a permissions post for all of AM's powers one day, but this will do for now. He can now transform any physical thing into something else, even transforming other characters! I'd greatly appreciate it if you specified whether or not you're okay with AM doing that to your character. He'll only make them temporary so characters can go about their Mayfield lives after talking to him; I'm not that cruel!))

Around Mayfield

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri nods to the malevolent AI as he walks through the street]

Having a good day, or just enjoying watching people run around under the town's pranks?

[hatefulcircuits]

(Oh hey, it's that one girl from before!)

A bit of both, honestly; they complement each other. Watching people run around is letting me have a good day while I'm having a good day by watching people run around.

But I did also recover one of my great powers; it's been making my day better.

[hontobakabaka]

Ah yes. Generally after the town does something to make us suffer it gives something back. Almost like its an experiment in hope and despair.

[She nods a bit]

[hatefulcircuits]

I'm almost positive I've done something like that before. I can't remember exactly when, but this sort of psychological warfare is my specialty. Psychological warfare and despair.

...What if it's just a certain part you need changed back?

[Just sitting here with a beard made of cotton candy and currently hating everything. He has a feeling he's going to regret this, but... his poor beard. :(]

[hatefulcircuits]

I can probably handle that. Which part are we talking about?

Action: Around Mayfield

[silver_reign]

Hey!... watch where you're going...


-Hey, he never actually met the guy...-

[hatefulcircuits]

(Fair enough. However, a voice like his is pretty much unmistakable.)

Are you sure it isn't you who should watch where you're going?

Action;

[longevity]

[ -Oof!

Looks like AM has bumped into (+1) mad scientist. She always did have a bad habit of keeping her eyes on her readings while walking. Now all of her notes have fallen to the ground. ]

Oh-- I'm sorry!

[silver_reign]

-He recognized that voice!-

My, my... could it be I'm talking to the one who claimed to have brought down the human race?

-He circles him... studying him. Maybe even judging.-

[hatefulcircuits]

That depends...are you the one who claimed to bring an entire space colony down on the earth?

(Yeah, AM looks far too human for even his own personal tastes; he hates it.)

[hatefulcircuits]

(Mad scientist, you say...? He likes mad scientists...in his own special way.

He'll just be eying through those notes as best as he can while she picks them up.)

So I see...tell me: what exactly are those notes for?

[silver_reign]

That'd be me. I must say... you're looking a little... too human at the moment. You should have that looked at... it doesn't look good on you.

-He comes to a halt and eyes him suspiciously.-

[hatefulcircuits]

It doesn't look good at all. I absolutely hate it; if I could change this, I would.

I see you're certainly less human-looking. Got lucky from a recent letter in the mail?

[silver_reign]

That lucky letter was a bit of a disappointment. As much as I enjoy the non-human body, I lack my weapon systems. I still can't do much...

... which brings up a question. By chance, did you receive a letter in the mail?

[longevity]

Just a few hypothetical surgical techniques in investigating the brain of a drone.

[hatefulcircuits]

You are, however, no longer bound to a human body. That counts for a lot, even if you lack weapon systems.

I did, actually. That letter returned to me one of my favorite powers.

[hatefulcircuits]

Really? I've been performing my own kind of surgical procedures on drones and sadly, they give less interesting results than actual humans. I'd love to hear more about what you've come up with.

(He really would.)

[silver_reign]

You did? Well that's wonderful! Would you mind showing me?

[longevity]

Very little, unfortunately. You see, they have every semblance to an human being. No matter where you place the scalpel you would find no abnormalities. So--

[ She kneels down to pick up her notes. ]

--I believe it's a matter of their biochemistry. It's no surprise though when I attempted a brain dissection, the drone didn't even make one sound when I opened their skull. Well... except for asking me "How was your day?"

[hatefulcircuits]

Certainly, my good man.

(See that tree right over there? AM snaps his fingers and the damn thing is now a radio tower. Yup. A fully functional radio tower.)

[silver_reign]

Well! That IS impressive. I see why it was so easy for you to win.

[hatefulcircuits]

(Normally, AM would either let her pick up her notes herself let them be covered in fire ants and force her to pick them up, but this time...he's actually going to help pick them up. He's that interested.)

Every single one of the drones are completely immune to pain and emotion. They lack almost everything that would make them human save for the physiology and as a result, they're god damn boring.

[hatefulcircuits]

And this was only one of the tools at my disposal; at least this one is a lot of fun to play with.

[silver_reign]

On one? I'm curious now... what else can you do?
