Goes to bed, wakes up next morning...holy carp pages! XD I'll try and make everyone happy.
You start to walk back and forth, mulling to yourself. You know you can summon Succubus back...but only if they've been banished. In this case, with that video clearly showing it...they're both dead. Then again, they're Dark Minions. Who'd ever develop an attachment to a Dark Minion? The loss of Mooks is inconsequential. Heck, it's normal, it happens, and it is bound to keep on happening. Reinforcing them wouldn't be bad, but first and foremost, there is a need to decide for Cerulean.
DownkeepYou give the order to bring back your Cogs to their usual number, meaning you build the seven that were destroyed in the attack. You once more have ten Minions.
Then, you walk in to Chemista having put to 'bed' Cerulean, since it's late at night and all.
"Your overlordness," she whispers as she slowly slides her way out of her rooms and into the hallway. "What can I do for you?"
She closes the door and waits.
"Psysquid succeeded, but he's the only survivor."
"Your evilness? I fail to see how..."
"The Succubus, Isabella, Cerulean's..."
"Ah, that? How is that important?" Chemista cocks her head to the side, raising an eyebrow. "She was just a minion, wasn't she? Who cares about their attachments to one another? They're here to serve the Overlord in his Evilness, nothing more. If they develop 'bonds'," she brings both hands up to put the ' ' on it, "then who cares? Use them for your own purposes. You're the Evil Overlord. As long as your troops are loyal the rest is inconsequential. A hero killed her? Use that to fuel the hatred against heroes in the others. If you wish to act interested in their fates I won't say it's wrong. Making the minions think you care for her is nice and all, especially when they become your flesh shields." She smiles.
You should start remembering she was an Evil Overlordess herself...and by 'Evil' you know she was practically a mind-raper.
That's practically the definition of 'Chess Pawn, go and die for my personal glory'.
You nod. You'll tell the girl in the morning. Chemista shrugs and slides away.
"Ehi," you suddenly ask. "I have one last question."
"Ask away, overlordness."
"Why did you stop being an Overlord?"
"I thought I told you, your evilness. The Mindium simply finished."
"Yes, but you could have found some other way. Right?"
"I trusted no one," she replied. "I only used Mindium-Controlled subjects, and that reason is personal, Overlord. I don't ask you about your past, do I?"
She does have a point.
Especially because you don't remember it to begin with.
"I'll be in the laboratories. Tell Psysquid to send his stuff down my way, your Overlordness."
You move towards the Zeppelin Hangar where, sure enough, the Zeppelin slowly comes into view as it docks. From its cargo bay Psysquid pops out as the Cog-Minions start taking care of both the Cargo and the Prisoner. He walks towards you at a slow pace, like that of a criminal ready to face execution.
"Your Overlordness..." he begins, hesitant.
You put both hands on his shoulders.
"You could have done better," you state clearly. "But you completed the mission, and came back alive. You did your job." Then, slowly, you add. "Never fail me like this again."
"Yes, your evilness!" he replies, nodding furiously.
"Now go," and with that, you head to your own rooms.
The next morning, you're wide awake and waiting in your 'office' when Cerulean pops in timidly.
"Good morning, sir," she whispers meekly as you gesture her in. She slides inside the office, closing the door behind and sit.
You take a deep breath, and then you speak.
"Listen, Cerulean...your mother died."
She blinks.
"Uh?"
"Your mother...is dead."
She shakes her head slowly, trying a bitter smile. "That's...that's a bad joke, right?"
"Cerulean, last night Psysquid infiltrated Starch Industries," you begin, "he was the only survivor."
"B-But mommy's so kind! Nobody would kill her!"
Nobody but an overweight man-fairy.
"Listen Cerulean, these things...they happen. Heroes don't care about Mooks or Minions. They only capture Dark Advisors or Side-Kicks..."
"But why?" goo-tears start to fall down her cheeks.
"Because Heroes...they're evil, Cerulean," you narrow your eyes. "They are horrible creatures, born of Society's own wants and needs, they're creature of greed and horrendous morality. They don't care to capture the Mooks, they don't care for their surrender." You push a button, and a video starts looping on the wall-screen.
It's of her mother, being smashed by the nail-bat of the fairy.
Cerulean cries and closes her eyes, but you snap at her.
"OPEN YOUR EYES!"
You snarl, and she complies.
"Look at the might of heroes! Look at their goodness! Look at that! It's nothing more than GLORIFIED MURDER" your yells reach her as she begins to tremble. "Heroes...are a sin upon humanity, humanity itself is a sin upon this blighted world," you snarl. "We will remove the heroes, Cerulean...but the question is, do you think your mother would prefer you wallowing in pity...or you brimming with anger!?"
She looks at you, shaking. "I..."
"Crying will not give you your mother back," you state plainly. "Avenging her...will give you peace."
Her eyes close for another moment, before she turns them back on the scene. The loop ends, and Psysquid is shown next killing the Fairy. "Kill all of them," you whisper, your hands clasped togethers. "Show no mercy to the Heroes Cerulean...because they won't show it to you."
She surfs away afterwards, probably to cry in Chemista's lap or something like that.
You smile and close the video. Then you turn your gaze to the broken shard of silver gently held by mechanical hands on the corner of your desk.
That is your own baggage.
The only thing you had on your person when Chemista found you, lost and amnesiac, in the middle of the sea drifting...and dressed like some sort of Clown with the billowing robes and the Cog-like mask.
If she hadn't considered you Overlord material...you probably would have died in the sea.
Now, the time has come to show the Heroes that Evil does not only bark...but can bite back as well.
Sixth Day of the First Year. Chapter Four: And THEY shall know of FEARUpkeepThe mood is demure as Lord Gamington dances a slow waltz, tiptoeing around to avoid making too much noise. Psysquid is in a corner of the room, remaining quiet and head low.
Chemista huffs, looking at the missions available.
1)Raid the Supermarket. Mixed.
"This might be over quickly with little fuss, provided there aren't any females participating...you know how much they tend to stop and look around and shop?" he rolls his eyes. "But with everything we find there, we might build ourselves another steam engine!" was what Psysquid said last time. Who knows if something changed or not. You hope not.
2) Avenge the Fallen. Destruction. "If you wish, we could strike the population where it hurts," Chemista remarks. "We could unleash a poison in the water supplies of City-B and blame it all on Starch Industries..." she shows off a document with the Industries' logo. "They were creating a new 'whitener' but it would take me little with the Scientist you kidnapped to turn it into an extremely poisonous substance. It should also gives us the chance to
later loot on the Abandoned Factory of Starch Industries..."
3) Steamy-School-Bus trip. Control. "They're organizing a manifestation for the heroes at HEROES park, your evil overlordness. We could steal a steam-bus filled with hormonal teenagers and use them as lab-rats," Chemista states pretty simply. "Or we could just, you know, kidnap the bus driver and the teacher, if you're so inclined on letting those mentally impaired youths go." She rolls her eyes. "Teenagers are all mentally impaired after all." She clicks her tongue in her jelly mouth. "Your call, Overlordness."
You bite your tongue for a moment, before stating.
"Has anyone seen my unholy dark rosario perchance?"
Chemista frowns, then she looks around for a moment. "Psysquid?"
"Check in the mouth of Mr. Wuffles, third teeth to the right," he remarks hovering his right hand in front of his forehead. "I sense there is a high chance of it being there."
Indeed, by the time you manage to calm down Mr. Wuffle enough to stick your hand in his mouth, there it is.
A Dark Rosario, an unholy mean of summoning things from the Beyond.
Now, you'll just need a right human sacrifice for it.
A drop of blood, a skull and some chanting...stuff like that.
Summoning Dark Stuff and you!Never sign anything a Devil gives you.
A single Control Check is done. If you pass, the summoned Dark Minion is yours. If you fail by little, it disappears. If you fail by much, it attacks.
Summoned creatures vary. 'Summon a Succubus' works as long as you know you need the blood of a woman for it. to summon a Hydraulic Succubus, you need a Wrench coated in the blood of a Wench.
As with mutagens, experiment and have fun. Just...be careful not to piss off anything 'big'
The reason I'm not going with the Vader rip-off is because there *is* a background for Incognito now. Had you placed it at the Character Creation as an extra, I would have rolled with it. Since nobody made an 'extra' I already had one done since the beginning...and It will be Glorious.
