eight - video post

[Dr. Horrible turns the video on. This time, he seems a heck of a lot more confident and sure about himself. You can see it in the posture.]

Hello there heroes. I bet you're wondering 'hey! What's Dr. Horrible been up to lately? He hasn't tried anything particularly evil yet'. Well, you'll find this next plan quite explosive. You'll see what I'm talking about in three...two...one.

[There's the muffled sound of an explosion. Obviously, Dr. Horrible is somewhat close to the MAC]

That, heroes of the City, was a bomb. It was placed on top of the MAC. The top four floors are probably heavily damaged, and the next...ten or so floors have some minimal damage. Now, just picture that effect times three.

That's right. I've hidden three other bombs in places in the MAC. You have five minutes to disarm them before the MAC and anybody still remaining inside it turns into a pile of rubble. The five minutes start...

[He looked at his watch, waited for a moment, then nodded.]

Now. Hope you can find them!

[And cue the evil laughter. After he's done, Dr. Horrible turns away from the camera and starts to mutter.]

'Quite explosive'. What the hell was that? Bad puns aren't a requirement to be-crap.

[And click. The camera's turned off.]

You're going to blow up the MAC? That's the best thing i've heard since coming here!

[badhorsefan.livejournal.com]

You're not supposed to be happy! You're supposed to be saying things like 'you won't get away with it!' and 'curse you Dr. Horrible!'.

[satisfiedsigner]

But that sounds like a great idea! Anything that might piss off the tin can is a great idea.

[badhorsefan.livejournal.com]

Isn't he like...dead or a robot or something?

[satisfiedsigner]

Does it matter? If he's sentient, he can get pissed off.

[badhorsefan.livejournal.com]

Eh, good point.

HAHAHAHAH! True statement, my eigenvalue!

Hey, when the building's been reduced to 0, want 2 help me generate an art installation from the elements of what's left?

[voice: jap; text: translated]

[satisfiedsigner]

You make art from demolished buildings?

[voice: jap; text: translated]

[inverse-matrix.livejournal.com]

I derive my art from trash; ANY trash; the remainders of the vast equation that is humanity and modern society. Broken TVs, old vending machines, rusted out cars, slabs of concrete, anything; in the grand tradition of Marcel Duchamp and others.

[satisfiedsigner]

[laughs] I see.

Sounds fun. I might be up for that.

[inverse-matrix.livejournal.com]

Zetta sweet! I'll let you know.

[lazylollipop.livejournal.com]

You need to start paying people to help you collect your garbage, you know.

[inverse-matrix.livejournal.com]

...
I have 0 funds. Also, why?

[lazylollipop.livejournal.com]

Because it's a JOB.

[inverse-matrix.livejournal.com]

= volunteer work for a GOOD CAUSE!

[lazylollipop.livejournal.com]

Uh... huh.

[inverse-matrix.livejournal.com]

Come on Kariya, I have 0 funds; the set of 'Jobs that Sho Has' = an empty set.

[lazylollipop.livejournal.com]

I guess.

We need to invest in some real jobs...

[inverse-matrix.livejournal.com]

True statement. That zetta weird fashion lady I think hates me now.

...
I COULD BE A GARBAGE MAN.

[lazylollipop.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would be right up your alley. Get to wake up early and pick up garbage.

[inverse-matrix.livejournal.com]

MAYBE I CAN GET A REAL APARTMENT THEN.

[lazylollipop.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah. I think I'll get a job at that Japanese restaurant.

[inverse-matrix.livejournal.com]

Bah, you? Employed? Invalid dim! It's like dividing by 0!

Though if you do you'd better make sure their ramen is better.

[lazylollipop.livejournal.com]

Well, I do need money. We should get an apartment together though, it'll be cheaper.

Man, I know. Their ramen SUCKS.

[inverse-matrix.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I was just gonna live on the street, really...
