[ Megamind is on the camera! He's looking...just a little bit bashful. ONLY SLIGHTLY ]

Hello, citizens of Thesity! I have slowly come to the realization that the money on these [ Yes, there is a dramatic jutting of his arm out, and those dogtags from the porter are swinging in his fist. He might have etched giant laserbolts on the sides of his name, if you have really really good vision ] simply aren't enough to fund a campaign against the forces of evil!

Therefore I! Megamind, the greatest genius of all time, am bringing you an offer, Thesity!

I will build you things! Great things! All you need to do is ask, [ A pauuuse ] and pay me, and I shall create for you great works of genius! I can create anything you could possibly imagine! Great wonders are in store for you, future consumer [long u] if you will simply step into my mystical shop. Of genius! [ By the end, he's a little worked up, with a finger in the air, and his eyes are wide. He's even breathing a little heavy! ]

Now! To work!

[ And... then a quiet hiss of background noise is quickly being turned up to the dulcet tunes of Rush's Tom Sawyer being turned up right on that wicked electronic intro, pretty much to deafening levels, and then the camera shuts off.

MAC residents who may be living within his proximity will probably be able to hear him still. Pretty much all night long, actually. ]

I'm gonna take offense to not being considered normal, just because I'm not from Brooklyn. Seriously, chock up your insult points, you're doing a bang-up job.

[hoodalumnus.livejournal.com]

C'mon, I don't even mean it. I'm sure your mom's nice and shit, I don't know her.

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

[ oh fuck it ]

Yeah, that might be because she's dead. Seriously. Good job.

[ THAT'S ONLY HALF A LIE OKAY ]

[hoodalumnus.livejournal.com]

Shit.

You're a hero type, yeah? They're like, orphans by default.

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

Um, no. I don't even know where to start with that.

[hoodalumnus.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's a fair assumption, okay?

[Beat.]

But I like those who run off the beaten track more. So you're not strictly morality meat, that's good. You're at an age of findin' yourself, it's important.

[ LEGIT SILENCE FROM HER..... WHAT.... ]

I really hope this isn't your way of making everything up to me.

[hoodalumnus.livejournal.com]

That would imply I regret my actions.

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

Wow. I am so impressed right now.

[hoodalumnus.livejournal.com]

Least it took your mind off the music, yeah?

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

And onto other, much more mature things. I'm so impressed with your generosity and consideration of where my attention goes right now, I could write a sonnet about it.

Or maybe an anthem on the kindness of strangers over the internet who talk bad about people's moms.

I think I already have the title.

[ SORRY... PARKER... YOU KINDA MADE HER MAD... ]

[hoodalumnus.livejournal.com]

[PARKER MAKING PEOPLE MAD? IT HAPPENS MORE THAN HIM WINNING ANYTHING! EVER.]

I'm quiverin' with anticipation here.

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

[ SO HE DOESN'T WIN ANYTHING HUH jfasdklfasdjsk ]

Could. But then that would mean wasting effort on anything towards a jerk like you.
