ϟ First Plan

Megamind is completely unimpressed with the lack of technology this place has to offer.
 
Primitive, that’s what this is – hardly an ounce of scrap metal to work with.” He’s grumbling under his breath as he prowls the grounds, face twisted into a weary and tired expression. He hadn’t slept well since arrival – not that he slept much to begin with – but the lack of proper rest was beginning to take its toll.
 
That and the words ‘cataclysm’ and ‘unmade’ are on repeat in his oversized mind. He’s seen this movie once before, watching his home swallowed whole by a black, swirling vortex in space – entirely unforgiving in its relentlessness, it consumed his planet and left nothing in its wake.
 
To think, to even consider that that had happened to his second home, to Metro Man, Roxanne, Minion--
 
Impossible. Not just improbable, but impossible. Megamind refused to believe it, would not believe it or accept it.
 
His cape swished at his ankles as he strode, intent on a full exploration and a full detailing of his map. He’s scratching in his book as he walks, taking notes.
 
[The next portion will appear as a text entry.]
 
Entry 1 – Day Four of Captivity; Evil Plan Number 7546 Underway
 
Keep – Worn, primitive. Lacking in latest tech or any tech at all. Will be difficult to construct weapons of diabolical genius. Surrounded on the north and west sides by botanical gardens and captive Gallus domesticus.
              ϟFloor 1
                        Kitchens – items easily requisitionable at any time.
                        Infirmary – Keep safe distance and observe only from afar. Suspicious female within.
              ϟFloor 2
                        Large hall, includes main entrance. Take the bridge, watch step.
              ϟFloor 3
                      Storeroom, musi—
 
[The neat black handwriting trails off. He’s either been interrupted, distracted, or murdered. Do you respond? Check on him? Continue in your oblivion?]
 
((ooc: Megamind is approachable during this entry! Feel free to tag in and assume you have intercepted him at any point that is listed. If you have an antagonistic character that needles him into the point of agitation and anger, there is a likely chance he will dehydrate you. He is not a hero yet and won’t hesitate to leave a trail of little blue cubes in his wake until he gets punished that is. Please specify if this is not acceptable. Mods if this isn’t cool, let me know! Thanks, guys!))

[Bryn wonders what he observed to consider Sycora suspicious.]

[Blink. Bryn goes silent a moment.]

It isn't a guarantee of being trustworthy, but it could be indicative...has she done or said something to make you suspect something?
brynkitten: (Musing)

[personal profile] brynkitten 2011-04-12 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Suspect of what?

[Bryn thinks back to her conversation with Sycora.]

She was open and honest with her answers to my questions but...I suppose only so much can be interpreted from body language.

[Thanks a lot Megamind. Planting seeds of doubt into Bryn's mind.]

Suspicious female, you say.

[Oops. Sycora's not pleased. Not surprised either, but certainly not pleased.]

Does that imply that the previous 7,545 have been unsuccessful and this is your umpteenth attempt to succeed?

As you what? Map out the keep? Truly your criminal mind is awe inspiring.

[Bryn pauses at that word. Kidnapping. Surely they had been saved, not kidnapped. Why would they let them wander free and left to their own devices if they were prisoners?]

I...I don't know.

[She can't really say one way or the other, Megamind. It's lovely and beautiful and she is, apparently, away from any immediate threat from her parents or well, the end of existence.

On the other hand, it scares her to realize how quickly trusting she'd been, and how it was entirely too soon to tell whether this place was as safe as it seemed.]
