Read the notes at the end. Gamington, the 'avatar' is yours, but the Dark Advisor Destruction-Only decisions are dependent on the majority. There is a Higher risk for every subsequent mutation for the procedure to fail..and to fail badly.
You nod. The next moment you're glomp-tackled by the Goo-Girl who squeals in delight. "THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" then, excitedly, she surfs off to prepare herself.
LordBucket found the secret. LordBuckets gets the Bonus: in case of a tie-vote, for only one time, we'll count his vote as double.
The next moment, Chemista barges in angry as hell.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, OVERLORDNESS!?"
Psysquid arrives next, "What sort of Suicidal Tendencies have you developed now, Your Evilness!?"
"Let's Dance to the Rhythm!" Gamington deadpans. "Let me ask you though...are we really performing in the place where all Heroes regularly go to fight mock battles? The HEROES STADIUM!?"
He actually fumbles on his next step. "Your Evilness! I insist you don't! They'll find you out!"
You wave a hand in dismissal. Really, it's just the HEROES Stadium, what could possibly go wrong?
Even better, you'll do it alone and only with Cerulean. She'll be your personal Side-Kick!
"Evil Overlordness, that's suicidal!"
"It is time I show you my true powers!" you retort firmly, and then stomp off to prepare.
Really! You'll show them!
Downkeep"Now keep close to me and stay quiet," you say to the little goo-girl, who is wearing a trench-coat and a big fedora hat. She also has a pair of thick glasses on her face, and with a calm appearance you stroll in straight to the guard. You're wearing a large grey trench-coat too, and as you near the guard, you pull out your Cog-Badge and state. "I am Inspector Cog-get, and this is my assistant Jelly, we will be overseeing the procedures as a secret measure against potential evil attacks."
You look quickly around, "You have not seen us enter. We must catch the evil unguarded."
"Of course sir! Of course!" the guard lets you both in and you smile.
Having a pair of bushy mustaches and thick plastic glasses on your face, plus the giant rubber nose...who'd ever think you're an evil overlord?
Meanwhile, Back in the Base "I'm betting that if he survives this, we'll get a Fanclub," Psysquid deadpans. "But really...I didn't think the Overlord had such a fetish...he must be a glutton for punishment."
"Shush it you!" the 'Second Mother' Succubus snarls. "My little darling is going to make momma proud now!"
"Quiet," Chemista snaps, "If the Overlord fails we'll have to...just where the hell is he?"
"He must be moving around with so much style the Good Guys can't sense him!" Gamington deadpans. "Ehi, now that I think about it, what's the Overlord's real appearance? He's always covered in a cog-shaped mask and has big bulky robes...I never saw him beneath."
"I don't know either," Chemista snapped. "But it doesn't matter. He's an Evil Overlord, he must be monstrous beneath those robes of his."
"Monstrous, uh?" The Succubus licks her lips and giggles.
"Pervert," Psysquid states.
"Kettle, quiet," Chemista snarls.
"Oh, moreeeee!"
"Shh! Shh! It's about to begin!" Gamington claps his hands excitedly, as the television set zooms in on a small wooden platform where there a white coffin and lots of cerulean colored flowers.
The HEROES Stadium"She will be missed," Mauve says with her voice cracking. "She...she was a friend...she...she was one of us, we...we were..." then she sobs and leaves the stage wobbling, as her right arm and chest are covered in a thick cast.
"I think I can speak for all of us," Pink says next, her face covered in bandages and her lips cracked -man, did Lord Gamington due a thorough job on her!- "When I...say...that we will never forget Cerulean. We will always...always remember her as a precious friend..."
There were 'awwsss' in the assembled Heroic Forces.
You're calmly making your way to the first line with 'Jelly' next to you. Nobody bothers you at all. There are hundreds of heroes here, all different, all with pros and cons. There are magical Girls, Heroic Heroes, people like 'The Jaguar' who are Monstrous Heroes, there is actually 'The Slime' too, a Good-Hero Slime who keeps the sewers clean.
So the moment you reach the first rows, nobody has even an inkling of doubt you're among them, the Evil Overlord among the Heroes of Justice.
And Cerulean is at your side, watching.
The team of four soon reunites after a short break, and every hero one at the time delivers their condolences before moving out.
In the end, the Camera crews leave after the 'Big Shots' have done their own pieces on 'Purity of Heart', 'Fighting Evil' and 'Tear Apart all Enemies of Light'.
Slowly, everyone trickles out.
In that moment, Cerulean takes her cue to move just before the Asylum squad can take them in. They're just Civilians...meaning they don't pose a threat even to a Cog-Minion, and you ARE THE OVERLORD!
Who is admittedly weak to puppy eyes done by Goo-Girls, but that is another story altogether.
"You're the last ones, right?" Crimson says softly. She's on a wheelchair, her lower body covered in a cast.
You move towards the civilians.
"You lot want to leave," you deadpan, waving your hand in front of them.
The civilians nod. "We lot want to leave."
Then they leave.
Really, Civilians...good only for screaming, converting or increasing the casualties numbers.
The moment the Asylum crew leaves, the four girls realize there is something wrong. Especially because Cerulean has yet to speak.
And because you are menacingly walking back towards them.
"I..." Cerulean says then... "I'm sorry for your loss," she whispers, bowing her head. Then she turns, softly holding on to your sleeve and says. "We can leave now, sir."
You nod and turn, walking with her as she starts to sniffle. You take out a handkerchief to hand over to Cerulean to wipe her 'snot-tears-goo' away.
"Wait!" Magenta yells, her finger trembles as she points it at you and Cerulean. "That symbol on your handkerchief!"
You freeze.
Was there a Bunny Smoking a Cigar Symbol on your Handkerchief? Yes/NoNotesThis is Downkeep, as such no rolls are required and everything is simply based on Fluff if, let's say, there had been the mission 'Infiltrate the Funeral!' or 'Kidnap Magical Girls!' then yes, there would have been rolls to do. As it wasn't, no rolls are needed. No need to worry about it! Just enjoy the 'Story' part, and think of it as a Visual Novel side where you pick up choices and hope the protagonist isn't a dimwitted imbecile. Thus, in this case, there was no need to go to the hospital. A mission about 'freeing the Magical Girls' from the Asylum might appear after this 'Fluff' is done however, so...don't worry, and enjoy!
