Canon-regressed muse is not happy with mun's life choices

[jonocalypse]

Look, I get why you did it, but did you really have to choose this me? You couldn't have taken me from after I joined Weapon X, maybe? I know Agent Jackson would've been proud that you were showin' off his handiwork, rather than what he did to me.

You better bloody hope this stunt works out, otherwise we're gonna have some words, you and me.

I don't think there's not enough words in the alphabet to repair that kind of ugly, sonny-boy.

[So says this jackass of a clown.]

[jonocalypse]

[That gets an eyebrow raise.]

Like you're one to talk, yeah? At least I'm not wearin' enough foundation to build a bloody house on.

[Not to say that he's never been that sort, but that was years ago.]

[dancingmad]

[Zing! He's not even sure if he has a comeback for that.]

Oh yeah?! Well at least I'm not up here whining about it like some goth-emo freak!

[Take that! That's a good comeback, right?]

Shut up! I love my makeup.

[jonocalypse]

[Ouch! That stings a little. Jono's grown up a lot since then!]

All right, that's fair. Thing about this [He gestures at his face] is that it wasn't a choice. I was made this way by force. At least clownin' around like you do's a decision you made on purpose, yeah?

[Besides, he would have rather stayed in that hospital, a gaping hole in his chest, rather than end up as he was.]

[dancingmad]

Made on purpose...?

[The clown chuckles a little but it's a dry laugh devoid of humor.]

If you only knew.

[Kefka isn't about to get into a metaphorical contest with this circus freak. The last thing the harlequin wants to bring up is the past, especially his past.]

So someone stuffed ya in a tube and turned you into a monster, right? That's nothin! At least you got your life or would you rather be dead?

[Cause if Jono here wants to die, Kefka can help~]

Cheer up, bucko! It's not all that bad.

All I can think of with these two interacting is the Black Mages version of "Dancing Mad" :-D

[jonocalypse]

[That gets an eyebrow raise. Jono's starting to feel like he's got some things in common with the mad clown.]

I can probably guess. I know more than a few folks that were turned into...something else...against their will.

[And he shrugs.]

You've got a point, there. I may not like it, but it's better than the alternative.

Now that's EXACTLY what I was thinking a min ago lol

[dancingmad]

Yes, yes! No one wants to die! At least not before making everyone else die instead.

[Hear that sinister laughter? Kefka is cooking some deliciously evil advice for this young mutant.]

So how about you channel all that anger and frustration into gettin' some much needed revenge, hm?

[The crazed clown is talking about making people go BOOM again.]

[jonocalypse]

[Jono just looks at Kefka flatly. He really, really should have guessed that all of the giggling and carrying on meant that he was dealing with a Card-Carrying Villain.]

That's not the sort of bloke I am, sorry. The ones who made me this way are way bigger fish than I've got the juice to fry.

[A lie, of course, but Jono's not about to tap into all the power Clan Akkaba left him with. Not when he considers the source of all that power. Not even to turn it against them. He was already considered "The Strongest", so the last thing he ever wants to do is prove it.]

[dancingmad]

Whaaaaaat!?

[The clown drops the act for a minute and stares at Mr. Ugly & Broody with a bit of disappointment.]

Are you kidding me? You're not going to rustle enough feathers with that crappy attitude.

[Kefka definitely isn't carrying a full deck of cards but sometimes he makes sense.]

Alright, listen up! If you want to fry these fishies, make sure to have enough oil in the frying pan. You got to go big with this. BIG!

[jonocalypse]

[To his own surprise, Jono can see the logic in what Kefka is saying. He'd be lying if he said he'd never thought about a way of taking down Apocalypse and his ilk, but he dismissed it purely on the fact that it would take way too much time to gather everyone he'd need to pull it off.]

That's fair. I...did have one thing in mind, but I'm not even sure if it'd work. Truth be told, there's a few thousand people in the world who're...like me. Gather 'em all together, and we'd have power enough to fry the biggest fish in the pond. Trouble is, we're so scattered that it'd take years to convince everyone that it was possible.
