[notpredictable]

[Okay so - there's something strange going on here. Very strange. He'd left his room to grab a few things and...well.]

Ah - Keep is a tad...busy today, isn't it?

[Hoping against hope for Minion....]

Has anyone seen a fish in a gorilla suit? If so - notify me. Immediately.

[He's going to be searching the grounds. Please bother him.]

[This is taking all the fishpower that Minion has, but he can't remember seeing a fish in a gorilla suit at all today.]

I can't say that I've seen one, sir. Should I send out the Brainbots to search?

[notpredictable]

Yes, Minion -- of course you should send out the Brainbots, I--

Minion--!

You -- how are you...you're here! You're really here!

[fantastic_fish]

Of course I'm here, sir. Why wouldn't I--

[Oh! He's got it now.]

[video] 5/5

[fantastic_fish]

Very good, sir! You tricked me out of my hiding spot with clever words. I've lost this game of Hide-and-Sneak unfair and square.

[This must be what they had been playing??]

[video] /REACHES FOR

[notpredictable]

Well, of course -- I always win, and--

[Pause.]

No! No no no, Minion--! This isn't a game, my aquatic sycophant! It's -- quite real!

[video] /DRAMATIC FINNY FLAILING (edit, come baaaaaack)

[fantastic_fish]

You mean that you didn't create foreboding castle grounds to use in some dastardly plot to foil your archnemesis and were instead kidnapped here in a dramatic reversal of roles?

[video] WHO ARE YOU I MUST KNOW

[notpredictable]

No -- of course not! Would I do something like this?

[video] I AM THE DARKNESS THAT SWIMS IN THE NIGHT

[fantastic_fish]

Then what did you do, sir? I'm afraid I just can't penetrate the dark vortex of evil that you've crafted here.

[He says it with the tone of admiration, that jesting "good job, buddy!" voice that says he's 100% behind you!]

[notpredictable]

Er, well --

[STAGE WHISPER]

This actually isn't my fault.

[fantastic_fish]

Oh.

...oh.

OH!

[This is the dawning of realisation! The dawning of reason! The dawning of dawn!

Then, STAGE WHISPER.]

Are you sure you're not being modest, sir? Medieval castles aren't your style, but it is kind of creepy. Maybe you're just having an off day. I'll get the Brainbots to give you a head massage and everything'll be fine. You'll be back to your creatively bad self in no time!

[SHRUG?]

[dontfeartheme]

[She'd pretend that she's not been stalking Megamind's journal, but, no, she completely is. Might as well own up to it.

And when she sees Megamind call him Minion, she can't resist replying.]

So you're Minion, then? I've been told I should seize the opportunity to be meeting you, should it ever arise.

[Audio] 1/?

[fantastic_fish]

Why, yes, that's me. I'm his Minion and--

[Audio] 2/?

[fantastic_fish]

[This is not the sound of Roxanne.]

I'm afraid I can't place your voice...

[Audio] 3/4

[fantastic_fish]

[OH, NO. HAS MEGAMIND BEEN KIDNAPPING DAMSELS WITHOUT HIM.]

[Audio] 4/4

[fantastic_fish]

I can't say I recognise your voice. Do you moonlight as a damsel-in-distress?

[Someone that Megamind would kidnap on the side? That hurts him in his little Miniony heart.]

[Audio]

[dontfeartheme]

[Ryn raises an eyebrow at all that, vaguely amused.]

You wouldn't be recognizing me, we've never met. I've heard good things about you, though.

[She can't help but snort slightly at that last part.]

Can't say I'm much of a damsel-in-distress, no. Or at least I wasn't, before I found myself here.

[Audio]

[fantastic_fish]

Oh, so you're the replacement damsel!

[Sudden understanding! This makes him feel better on the matter of a two-timing Megamind.]

Welcome to our evil lair!

Well, it's not really an evil lair yet, but it's just a matter of time before he concocts something dastardly to bless it in the name of evil heaven.

Don't worry if you're new to this. All you have to do is scream whenever he threatens you and you'll fit right in. Let me just go get the rope...

[Audio]

[dontfeartheme]

[She's trying hard not to grin throughout this, but she's not sure how successful she's being.]

Megamind was right. You really are a damn fine minion.

[Ryn's debating making some sort of snarky comment about pinpointing the exact type of scream, when his earlier comment fully sinks in.]

Replacement? For whom?

[Audio]

[fantastic_fish]

[Minion is happy to explain the situation as part of the D-I-D orientation package.]

Miss Ritchi. She has a busy schedule and sometimes can't make the commitment to being a damsel-in-distress, but Megamind tries to accommodate her. You know how it goes... Crashing news conferences, interrupting major ceremonial dedications... But, sometimes you just can't kidnap the right girl at the right time. That's where you come in!

[A pause.]

Oh, but don't worry about playing second fiddle! Your distress is very important to us. While you are in our care, we will make sure to expose you to the highest quality terrors.

[Yup. He is a good Minion, isn't he? The best that planetary destruction could assign!]

Hold on a second!

Megamind said... I was a good Minion?

[BRB, happily puffing up to the confines of his tank.]

[Audio]

[dontfeartheme]

[...and mental note to be asking Megamind about Miss Ritchi.

But for the moment, she's just going to ignore that bit.]

Yeah? What kind of terrors can I be expecting, then? Or will that ruin the suspense?

[All right, now she's smiling. That's... slightly adorable.]

He did indeed. He said I'd be liking you, and I think he was right.
