ϟ 8th Plan -> [Audio/Open Commentlog]

[The audio clicks on, and Megamind’s voice is clipped and irritated. There are telltale sounds of water sloshing in the background as he speaks, but he either doesn’t notice, or he simply isn’t commenting on it.]

Rem. While I do appreciate your generosity, I have to confess I find your idea of recompense rather lacking. Can’t you find something else for me to assist with besides menial tasks?

I’m a villain. Villains don’t do menial.

[Yes Rem, he’s bitching about doing your damn dishes.]

Next time, I’d prefer it if something needed to be destroyed. That, I am most excellent at.

[With a dramatic sigh, the feed is cut. If anyone happens by the kitchens, they would catch sight of a blue alien up to his elbows in soap suds, scrubbing at pots and pans.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Rem's not laughing, not yet, but he is sure as hell amused. He expected nothing less.]

Should I need something destroyed, Megamind, you will be the first to know.

You do this on purpose.

[He knows you do. Don’t even deny it.]

I do no such thing. This was merely the task at hand!

[No, he totally does it on purpose, and he knows it. And he knows you know it.]

You invent mediocrity in order to garner amusement at my expense. I’m not a fool, you know.

[jerkfaec.]

I invented no dirty dishes; the guests did as much during dinner last night.

[But the rest is not entirely false. Megamind's indignance is hilarious.]

I do not hear you denying the rest.

You are amused at my misfortune! Admit it!

This is not misfortune! This is a trade. You are working and you shall be paid in full.

[STILL NOT DENYING IT]

[Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Don't laugh.]

What are you doing, Megamind?

…Earning my keep, I suppose.

[Oh, he does enjoy a good pun.

When, you know. It’s not at HIS expense.]

[A light laugh.]

Is it really that bad?

Yes, of course it is!

This is my dignity at stake, here.

[Not as if he has a lot of that, Metro Man did a fine job of routinely smashing it to bits.]

[You know she feels bad about that whole not inviting him to the orchard thing. Maybe now's a good time to make it up to him...?]

I would offer to help but I'm kind of [lacking hands.] indisposed at the moment. Would you rather some company instead?

[You know he’s still pissy about that, Odette? He’s like a little kid that just had his favorite toy taken away from him.

Except that’s kind of been his whole life, having things he may have wanted or liked jerked out from under him and dangled in front of his face, just out of reach. He’s used to rejection and being hated. Just tell him out right, though.]

It’s—

[Despite the pissiness, he enjoys her company but like Bryn, he’s not sure if he wants anyone seeing him doing this. Not very villainous at ALL.]

Perhaps…later. When you are not so indisposed.

[She didn't know, because you never told her this, Megamind. Share your FEELINGS!

He sounds a little put out. Maybe she should explain why she's indisposed. It's definitely not because she doesn't want to see him.]

Well there isn't much I can do right now, since I am a swan. So I'm not particularly busy.

[And she wants to apologize. Please? 8(]

[She pauses a moment before responding...

There's flipping through pages.

More flipping through pages.

Bryn turns replies with audio, and sounds somewhat amused.]

You're a bit early this month, you know...

It’s hardly my fault if he keeps coming up with such mundane tasks, I—

[Pause. Back that truck up.]

Excuse me?

[Oh, she probably should have replied to the actual content but she supposed now that she'd already brought this up...]

Well, you usually post around this time of the month. I wasn't expecting anything until the fifteenth but you have been following a pattern of posting around this time each month.

[She pauses a beat.]

What is it you're doing for Rem?

I—I have not!

[…Has he? Oh, Zeus above –

He drags his arms out of the water and frantically flips through the pages, splashing water everywhere. Pardon him if his responses sound a bit…wet.]

No. No. I am not predictable!

[He clears his throat.]

Nothing that I can’t handle, however it’s not something someone of my caliber should be doing.

Edited 2011-11-14 17:02 (UTC)

Well, I just looked again so I suppose that there was that one month early on that...strayed from the pattern, but the last few or so you've posted mid-month.

[Is it strange that she noticed? Oh, friend, she appears to be paying close attention to you without even knowing it.]

I wouldn't say that you're predictable so much as your...record keeping habits.

[Another pause.]

Would you like some help with...whatever it is? Perhaps it's better suited to someone of my caliber...

[Cue some sputtering as he makes a valiant attempt to regain his dignity.]

I didn’t – it wasn’t -- that’s not intentional and there’s nothing wrong with being meticulous!

[There’s a splash – and if there is a way to make such a thing sound indignant, Megamind can do it. Because that splash? Was done in a huff.]

No!

No. You do not need to—

[He already feels ridiculous and Bryn does not need to lower herself. She is above this, above him, above everyone. She is not doing his task.]

No. I’m quite fine.
