Voicetesting an old muse

[meggalomaniac]

Ah, mundane! My dear, old friend. How have you been? Good? Good. I'm glad to hear it. Oh, what about me? Well, you know. I've been around.

...ah wait! No. No, I haven't. Instead, I've been cooped up inside your rotting headspace for about two years if my numbers are correct. If you were anyone else I'd have eradicated you by now, but since I seem to be outside your current dimension of residence for the moment I suppose I'll have little choice but to let this slight against me go.

With that said, don't think I'm not appreciative! Quite the opposite actually. As you can see I'm ready and raring to get back to work. Schemes to scheme, plots to formulate, plans to put in motion, you know. The usual. So what say we get those gears turning again, hmm? For old times' sake.

I'm surprised you're letting a single mundane hold you back Ivo, I thought that Blue rodent was the only thing that stood in your way. You aren't getting a little sluggish these days, are you?

[meggalomaniac]

Not even close, Albert. We all need a vacation every once in a while, hmm? And even a brain like mine needs to cool off for a little while. You just can't force genius, especially in this day and age! Ruins the end result.

[onlybuildsawesome]

Oh relax Ivo, I'm just teasing. No need to get all hard boiled about it.

If you're looking to set up shop, perhaps I could suggest taking a look at genessia

It would be nice to have someone that isn't a complete nitwit there to talk to.

[meggalomaniac]

I suppose I can spare a few moments of my precious time to look it over. It's not like I have much else to do while the player gets me running back at full steam. Although the lack of intelligence DOES sound like a deal breaker. Even my last game wasn't THAT bad.

[onlybuildsawesome]

It's no Skull Egg Zone, but it's not completely boring either. We're basically free to do what ever we want.

Well not all of them are completely witless. Moriarty and Skeletor seem to at least have some sense about them.

[meggalomaniac]

To do whatever we want, you say? Well, I do like the sound of that. How are the resources there? Any difficulty setting up shop?

[onlybuildsawesome]

You wake up with an envelope of cash with enough to get yourself settled for a couple months, it's also possible to open up gateways to copies of our home worlds, so it's quite easy to get set up if you open one to one of your many fortresses.

[meggalomaniac]

And the people of this world just let us do this? How stupid can they be!

[onlybuildsawesome]

Ridiculous, right? I told you that they weren't the brightest bulbs in the box.

I can't the locals are fond of my plans but they've done little to stop me so far.

[meggalomaniac]

And what about our kind, the non-natives? Surely there must be SOME goody-two shoes lurking about, yes?

[onlybuildsawesome]

There are, but they aren't exactly the brightest bunch around. They tend to wait until somethings happening before they get up and try to do something. They're at least aware that I'm building an army and they aren't trying to stop me.

Easy pickings, that's what this place is.

[meggalomaniac]

Ohohoho! I dare say the only competition we'd have for control over this game would be each other!

[onlybuildsawesome]

Bwa-ha-ha~! I believe you're right, Eggy.

Of course my creations could topple yours any day.

[meggalomaniac]

[Oh no you didn't.]

Ha! The only toppling your creations would be doing is over each other.

[onlybuildsawesome]

[Oh but he totally did.

...Their egos will always be their downfall.]

I think you've mistaken your machines for mine again.

You really need to stop doing that, Ivo.

[meggalomaniac]

[Sad but true.]

Getting senile in your old age, Albert? I'd never mistake my marvelous creations for your piles of scrap.

Because of course

[true_blue]

Ah, and here I was hoping you'd retired. White sand, blue ocean...

...

Nah, just kidding. I'd get way too bored if you did.

[meggalomaniac]

Ha! I've still got PLENTY of years left in me, Hedgehog. You won't be getting rid of me THAT easily!

[As the Sonic X version of himself put so nicely, he's like a bad rash; you can't get rid of him.]

[true_blue]

'course not. Where would the fun be in that? Soooo, what's it gonna be this time? Death ray? Space station? Space station with a death ray?

[meggalomaniac]

You don't really expect me to spill the beans this early in the game, do you?

[true_blue]

Nah, not really. Can't blame a guy for trying, though.

[So if he's not at the 'gloating' stage that's probably a good thing, all told.]

[meggalomaniac]

I suppose not. There's plenty of things I can blame you for, anyway.

[notshadowfever]

That makes two of us brilliant geniuses left to collect dust inside the headspace of some lazy mundane.

[meggalomaniac]

And there isn't a doubt in my mind that there are more of us poor souls in a similar position. No game to call home, no robots to order around, no world to bring to its knees. Really, what do they expect us to do? Take up knitting?!

[notshadowfever]

Knitting? Guhhh! [The doctor shudders.] Knitting is for robots! It's unbearable in this headspace! All the time in the world to perfect my vision of Eggmanland, but no way of actually carrying out my plans. You have no idea - well, I suppose you do, but...

[meggalomaniac]

Oh indeed I do. And the very second I have a chance to make this lazy goodfornothing pay I will. Until then...it would be best to find a way out of this predicament.

[notshadowfever]

If only there were somewhere we could both go. Then we'd be an unstoppable force to be reckoned with.

[This Eggman has yet to experience Generations...]

[meggalomaniac]

Now THERE'S an idea! Unfortunately most games only allow one version of a character per game.

[notshadowfever]

It's probably for the best. I'm not sure there's a world out there that could handle my genius as it is, let alone if it were doubled.

1/2

[meggalomaniac]

It would certainly make things far too easy!

[meggalomaniac]

...unless there were two Sonics. One spiny little freak is bad enough.

[notshadowfever]

But you're forgetting that there would be two of us. Our combined intelligence would far surpass the power of two Sonics.

[meggalomaniac]

A fair point, providing we don't get a migraine from their infernal chattering. He's not half as funny as he thinks he is.

[notshadowfever]

Indeed! We're much better with words than he is after all. He should leave the witty speeches to the more eloquent among us and concentrate on, well, ruining everything. It's what he's good at.

(1/2)

[meggalomaniac]

It's certainly an infuriating skill of his.

But no matter. I'm certain our next scheme will crush him for SURE.

[meggalomaniac]

...probably. 60/40 at this point. It's a bit difficult to factor in that blasted luck of his.

[notshadowfever]

If I had a ring for every time that hedgehog ruined our plans due to pure luck on his part... Well, let's just say I wouldn't need a chain of rigged casinos to fund my battle fleets.

[meggalomaniac]

I still can't BELIEVE what happened in Colors!
