Hostile Takeover

[Smash Daisaku]

Descending note as a fire trail streaks across the sky. Until with a clack, a pair of shiny pixelated boots land on the sidewalk. Smash looks around, and dusts a pile of dust off of a table. He rubs his chin.

"Hrmm... this place seems fairly empty." He snaps his fingers. "Perfect time for my takeover!"

He plants a flag in the disused sidewalk, reading "Property of the Empire" as he cackles, quite amused at himself.

[AmbushCat]

*Ambush Cat, who'd been sitting on the table at the time, stretches and sits up on the ground.*

Hope you have more success than I did, Smash. I conquered Muffinville within the past year, and the citizens didn't give a crud.

[Smash Daisaku]

Smash raises an eyebrow. "Oh? But what if I was to decree everyone was forced to eat... Sauerkraut!"

"SAUERKRAUT! MUAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!"

[AmbushCat]

...Oookay, I guess you would have more success than me. Sauerkraut is evil.

Well, I'm kinda bored, so... anything you want me to do as long as I'm here?

[Smash Daisaku]

"OF COURSE!" He nods with satisfaction... then strokes his chin... "Hrmm... perhaps you could be my minion! You could be spared the sauerkraut vengeance!"

[Ookalf]

Huh... *Ookalf pauses as he walks by.* Is that really all you've got, though? Gross food?

[Smash Daisaku]

Smash stares at Ookalf. "How dare you question my methods!"

[AmbushCat]

"OF COURSE!" He nods with satisfaction... then strokes his chin... "Hrmm... perhaps you could be my minion! You could be spared the sauerkraut vengeance!"

"Minion"? Those blue overalls aren't me, but I dig the coloring. *fur turns yellow* Sure. Doubt my boss'll mind if I join up with you for a while.

[Ookalf]

Smash stares at Ookalf. "How dare you question my methods!"

Well, I'm just saying. Didn't you used to have, like, airships and an army and stuff? What happened to that?

[Smash Daisaku]

"Minion"? Those blue overalls aren't me, but I dig the coloring. *fur turns yellow* Sure. Doubt my boss'll mind if I join up with you for a while.

"Wonderful! Would you care for a robotic chassis to supplement your organic frame? We offer dental, health, pension, and life insurance to all minions."

Well, I'm just saying. Didn't you used to have, like, airships and an army and stuff? What happened to that?

"Mothballed. Dust and cobwebs all over everything... disgusting. Thats one of the reasons I'm taking over this place. I need more minions to get operations rolling. Speaking of." He draws his gun, pointing it at Ookalf's face. "Last chance to bend the knee. I'm a busy man." He cackles.

[AmbushCat]

"Wonderful! Would you care for a robotic chassis to supplement your organic frame? We offer dental, health, pension, and life insurance to all minions."

Don't need the chassis; I've got one already, but thanks for the offer. I'll accept the insurance, though.

*Ambush's fur undergoes a metamorphosis, making him appear more jointed and metallic than he really is. By the time the process is done, he's converted himself into a miniature Lightning Saix, complete with weaponry.*

[Ookalf]

"Mothballed. Dust and cobwebs all over everything... disgusting. Thats one of the reasons I'm taking over this place. I need more minions to get operations rolling. Speaking of." He draws his gun, pointing it at Ookalf's face. "Last chance to bend the knee. I'm a busy man." He cackles.

OK, that's a bit more like I was expecting. *Now that the gun's out, Ookalf ducks behind a nearby tree for cover.*

[Maiden Miki]

"Yawn....," said Mike as he lay on a park bench. A top hat was covering his eyes and he slowly moved it out of his vision. "Talking about interrupting my nap for something boring...."
