video; un: King Iggy

[bahahahaha]

Well, well, well! Long time no see, my fellow citizens of Ellipsa!

[ He's heard before he's actually seen -- but eventually, Iggy does pop up on screen, with the exact same shit eating grin he always has. Except now, he somehow looks even more amused than he usually does, which probably isn't a good thing. ]

Did you miss me? Because I missed you.

[ He begins to cackle, and he spins around in the chair he's sitting in; the chair that looks suspiciously like the one he'd had in the small lab in castle he shared with his friends the last time he was here. Did he break in? He absolutely did. No regrats. ]

That's right, your future ruler has returned to grace you with his presence once more! Please, please, hold the applause. I know you all must be so happy to see me.

[ Iggy adjusts his glasses, and then leans in a little closer, his grin widening. ]

I can't wait to have fun with you all, my little test subjects! Ahahahaha!

Nailed it, that's exactly what I sound like, ten out of ten, no critique.

I may be one of the good guys, but I am not above dunking your head right in the toilet and giving you the gnarliest swirlie if you hurt anyone.

[bahahahaha]

Right? I think that's my best impression of anyone to date, congrats!

Joke's on you, I come from a family of six other siblings! Do you think swirlies aren't something I get at LEAST once a month?

[ Lookin' at you, Roy... ]

Anyways, who said anything about hurting anyone? There's really only like, four people in the entire world I actually want to hurt, and none of them are here! Besides, how can I be an overlord if I'm killing and or maiming my subjects, huh?

[spinsandneedles]

Weird brag, but okay...

[Anyway, this guy's clearly just a giant dweeb. Sonic relaxes. This nerd's a lot more chill than Eggman already.]

Y'know, you have a great point there. You win more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, right? So, how are you planning on becoming overlord? Running for office?

[bahahahaha]

Listen, when you're the middle child, you find anything to brag about, dude.

[ WOW HEY MAN SUPER RUDE but also accurate. Iggy twirls in his lab chair again, pausing as he consider's Sonic's question. ]

Running for office is a waste of time, man. If you want something, you gotta take it, you know? So, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna build a mechanical army to do my bidding, and then maybe get a few ACTUAL people to join the cause, and then bam. Problem solved!

[ He heaves a comically large sigh, though, and then shrugs his shoulders. ]

The problem with that particular theory though, is building crap takes a whole lotta time. And like, we seem to have nothing BUT time on our hands. This thing was a lot easier at home, I had a whole army already at my disposal. Starting from the ground up really sucks, y'know?

[ Like, you get it, right, blue man group? ]

[spinsandneedles]

Fair enough! I don't have any siblings, so I guess I can't relate.

[MAN this little dweeb isn't even a threat. Do your best, little buddy!]

Oh yeah, I can see how starting from scratch could be a real challenge! I do know a guy here that's really good at building stuff, though...

[Is he planning on siccing this poor kid on Eggman with the hopes of him driving the evil doctor OUT OF HIS MIND? You bet your ass he is.]

[bahahahaha]

Honestly, you're not missing out on much. I mean, granted, they're pretty much built in entertainment. If you're inclined to hang out with them, at least.

[ Spoiler alert: this little dweeb is more of a loner. He loves his family! He REALLY loves harassing them! But also... nah. ]

Wait, really? Whose that? I don't really work well with other people, but it might be nice to be able to discuss things with someone else mechanically inclined...

[ Color him intrigued. He actually stops spinning in his chair for a few seconds. ]

[spinsandneedles]

His name is Dr. Robotnik, goes by Eggman. His entire schtick is building hoards of robots, all kinds of different robots. Dude's a total genius, and he would be perfect for you to talk to constantly about mechanical stuff. Or anything, really! All the time!

[are we sure sonic isn't just a little evil hmmm]

[bahahahaha]

That's a really stupid name and he should be ashamed of that, first off. [ LET'S JUST GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY-- ] hmmMMMMM, maybe I'll have to message him. Not often I get to talk to people who are actually smart...

[ Sonic is DEFINITELY just a tiny bit evil. Like chaotic good with the barest hint of evil... ]
