On the subject of kids

[madangry_madcrazy]

No, that's an awful idea. First of all, I don't even like children, and secondly, that is the worst idea I've ever heard. The very idea of it really chafes my beans.

Also, yes, I realize how many times I used the word 'idea'.

Would they, be, like, teal-colored, or something?

[madangry_madcrazy]

What?

[memory_of_fire]

Yeah I don't exactly see you as the parenting type or Shego as a baby sitter.

You would end up having to have Kim Possible do the baby-sitting and that would just get awkward.

[madangry_madcrazy]

Why Kim Possible? I could, hypothetically, leave the child with mother. It won't be an issue though, seeing as I don't plan on passing on my genes.

Hmmm, what's got you thinking I'm not the parent type, by the way? You're right, of course, but I'm curious.

[memory_of_fire]

I guess that makes sense.

Well this is just going off the little bits of your show my mundane has shown me. You seem...impulsive I guess would be the word. You're not stupid obviously you can make some amazing machines, but you seem to jump in without thinking things through a lot of the time. Then there's the possibility your villain activities could y'know get them hurt or worse. Not by the heroes obviously, but other villains.


You wouldn't have the best time with kids I think, but there are worse parents than you I'm sure.

At least you're creative and know how to actually have some fun every now and then.

[madangry_madcrazy]

[he raises his brow at the ghost, rubbing his chin a little.]

Impulsive?

I just don't like the idea of having children run around and putting their grubby, little hands all over my wonderful death rays and doomsday devices.

[memory_of_fire]

You have an idea and you run with it no matter what it is. Kind of a problem a lot of artists have actually, but the problem with that is you wouldn't have the time or energy to do all that any more. So you would have to have some patience and sit some stuff aside to give the mini mad scientists some attention and teach them.

Then there's the issue of having a teenage daughter eventually if one of the kids is a girl.

[She doesn't think she has to say more considering Drakken's track record.]

[madangry_madcrazy]

[He folds his arms across his chest, frowning a bit.]

I don't go for just any old idea that pops into my head, you know. They're certainly all good enough that Kim Possible feels the need to foil them...

[He's grumbling a bit now.]

I think I'd prefer a girl, actually. It would certainly make things easier when it comes to 'the talk' and the things that come with it. I could just leave that to the mother.

[memory_of_fire]

I guess I have no room to talk on that front. All my plans get foiled too.

[It's just tough love Drakken, she actually likes you in a weird way.]

Presuming you're not an only father for whatever reason or another. I mean your mun isn't exactly talking about finding you a girlfriend yet. They're going straight to the idea of kids. So seems like they might be thinking of you adopting versus them actually being your biological kids or maybe a cloning program gone wrong?

[madangry_madcrazy]

Well he's not really talking about me actually having children. More the idea of it. Apparently he has this idea of me having a daughter who likes photography, and is the vocalist in some band.

[memory_of_fire]

That sounds pretty cool actually. I'm a guitarist and vocalist myself.

[madangry_madcrazy]

Interesting. Anyhoo, it's a moot point. I'm too old to start thinking about children anyway.

[memory_of_fire]

That's true.

[She shrugs.]

Oh I guess I should actually introduce myself. Since I seem to have you at a disadvantage and all. I'm Ember.

[madangry_madcrazy]

Ember, huh? I don't think I've heard of anyone with that name before.

[memory_of_fire]

Different universes. Ember Mclain is a name everyone on my Earth knows.

So since you're a pretty good scientist, what do you know about ghosts?

[madangry_madcrazy]

[He shrugs a little.]

I was possessed by the ghost of my pirate ancestor once. That's about it.

[memory_of_fire]

Oh so ghosts exist in your world too. Got it.

[Damn she was hoping to surprise him with that. She doesn't get to do that often enough for it not to be funny.]

Ghosts are actually pretty common in my world. Not everyone knows about them obviously though.

[madangry_madcrazy]

Huh, you don't say... Well I don't think they're that common in my reality, but it's not exactly a field I've paid a lot of attention to.

[memory_of_fire]

Well who knows. Maybe you could tap into the ghost zone from your reality. Weirder things happen there.

The place also has enough doors that one might actually open to your world.

[madangry_madcrazy]

Maybe, but I'm not really sure I'd want to rule a world riddled with ghosts...

[memory_of_fire]

I wasn't expecting you to. You'd have a hard time doing that when some of us can possess technology. What you could do though is put some of us into your employ. I mean the reason we're sticking around is that we all want something.

Find out what that something is, if you can get them that or promise them that then you've got a group of people Kim Possible would have a hard time dealing with.

[madangry_madcrazy]

Hmmmm, but what would I have to offer these ghosts for them to remain in my employ? Would I have an easier time trying to control them?

[memory_of_fire]

It varies from ghost to ghost. Some of us want revenge on a particular group or just people in general. Some of us are protecting something and some of us just died way too soon and want some semblance of life and fun.

Trying to control them would be a pretty mixed bag. You could probably mind control the weak ones, but I know from experience powerful ghosts aren't as easily changed.

Besides you will only need one or two if Kim doesn't know how to send us back or even hit us. Intangibility is a nice perk to being a ghost.

[She will then promptly fly right through Dr. Drakken before appearing on the other side of him.]

[madangry_madcrazy]

[His eyes widen in surprise as she passes right through him, and he swings around on his heels to stare at her.]

So you're a ghost too? Uhm, I hope you don't mind me asking, but how...

The wiki has a similar, but unsourced "official" history if you're curious.

[memory_of_fire]

[She was grinning at his reaction. Up until that question hit and the pony tail, actually made of a blue flame of sort actually dwindled down as she frowned sadly.]

It's a touchy subject, but since you seem alright enough and you're the first person with the guts to ask I'll share it.

When I was alive I wasn't exactly what you call popular in highschool. So when a boy asked me out I was pretty excited and happy. Things seemed to be going my way. Then after a while he stopped calling. Found out he had moved onto someone else.

I lost sleep over it. I put a lot of trust into the guy after all. So when I finally did sleep I didn't wake up when the house caught fire.
