So I know I overreacted the night before. I was a little pissed off and everything, but then I guess dying probably kinda does that for some people. Anyway, does that floating disembodied voice guy always leave right in the middle of a conversation? What a douche.

Anyway -- thanks to everybody that tried to be helpful. But seeing as how this room is pretty much my room exactly (which is kind of creepy, by the way -- nobody but me should know some of the minute details), there's really not much settling in I have to do. And while I don't really think I'm up for all this "redemption" stuff, I haven't got much better to do while I'm here besides at least have a look, right?

So...sorry for freaking out at some of you. You'll see me around.

Call me 21.

[Private]

Having read through the journals and taken a peek around, I've come to settle on three possible explanations for my current predicament:

1. Monstroso has secretly developed hallucination-inducing powers...maybe kind of like those demons in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Only I don't know why I'd be dreaming of this and -- I don't know, what my life would have been like if I stayed home through my teen years.
2. In the ensuing and EPIC battle between Monstroso, Brock Samson, and myself, I sustained massive head trauma and am now lying in a coma somewhere -- perhaps in a hospital, perhaps back at the cocoon, or perhaps even in some secret guild lab under Monstroso's office building. This would explain why there is at least one familiar place, my room. Therefore, all the people here that I seem to be recognizing from television and comics are clearly just figments of my imagination, my collective pop culture knowledge rising up as one to shield me from the worst damages to my brain. ...And how fucking cool is that? (I think there was a TV show like that a while back -- didn't last long. It was probably crappy. I dunno.)
3. Everything these people have told me about this place is true. I'm dead. And apparently in some strange nexus where anything and anyone I've ever fantasized as real really is real.

The first two options would definitely explain why I can't contact 24 anymore -- and it confirms he really was haunting me either way. If he were in my head, and all this were in my head, he'd be here now.

The third I'm still not so sure of. But just in case it is true, I need to be careful how I talk to some people. After all, if I say the wrong thing to one of them and they go home, how horribly am I going to mess up their time line?

I could unmake fandom as I know it.

Uncle Ben was right. Great power? Great responsibility.

No problem.

...

I know this is a little bit out of left field and all, but do you know a guy called Jack Hench?

Because you're the first person here besides me who could identify 'henchman' as an actual career path, so I figured maybe...

Eh, never mind.

Oh, so you're into professional villainy? Arch or Hench?

If by Arch you mean the guy with the crazy laugh and the big stupid idea then I guess we're talking more column B than Column A - but I was an independent contractor, okay? One of a kind.

Totally sweet. Where I come from, there's so few freelance villains anywhere.

Soo, where do you come from? Who'd you work for?

Well I'm pretty sure most things here are kinda Earth-based, and it's the same for me. I'm a professional henchman and personal bodyguard to The Mighty Monarch.

The Mighty Monarch. Ohhh-kay. So he's really into the divine right of kings, or he's got some kinda...butterfly gimmick?

Date: 2010-01-30 02:39 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com
Both, actually. But it's not even about the gimmick. He's one of the only guys in the biz who does it legit. He doesn't let the paperwork decide who he's going to professionally hate. He's got the grudge and he's got balls. Absolutely an inspiration working for him.

...'doesn't let the paperwork decide'?

You're gonna have to run that one by me again.

It probably doesn't work the same everywhere. I know it doesn't in comics where I come from, so okay.

Basically, you've got a few major alliances that deal in arch-villainy, and then your small percentage of freelance workers. The big dog in that crowd, though, is the Guild of Calamitous Intent. It's the oldest and probably the most organized. If you're with the guild, you have your equipment and henchmen insured, your properties sanctioned, and you have almost complete immunity from meddling from the police or the government if you play by the rules. Totally legit stuff.

thread jacking because he couldn't resist.

...that sounds like the sort of thing the Patrician would approve of.

So are you a Guild member or not? Excuse my curiosity, it just sounds more like my world than anything else I've heard of here.

From: [identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com
I don't think there's a Patrician where I come from. Not anybody officially called that.

Maybe on one of the other rosters, but it doesn't sound like a Guild member.

And I'm a licensed Henchman.

As far as I'm aware, only Ankh-Morpork has one. I don't know about the Roundworld.

Good, good to know you're licenced.
From: [identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com
OHMIGOD You're a Discworld chara

Well yeah. Couldn't work if I wasn't.
From: [identity profile] evilbystatute.livejournal.com
Clearly not, it'd be illegal. Do you have guilds for other things in your world? Theives, Assassins, Alchemists?

Date: 2010-01-30 03:15 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com
You've still got those things, but I dunno if they've got guilds.

From: [identity profile] evilbystatute.livejournal.com
...It'd be much more ordered if they did, I'm sure.

...

Okay, not that I don't see the huge and obvious upsides to this system, but does it not kinda take the edge off of being a villain if it's basically legal?

That's why the Monarch's different. He's in for the insurance and dental, but he's been arching his enemy since college. He genuinely hates and isn't just assigned to hate somebody.

Huh. That whole arrangement just sounds...weird, but good on your guy for keeping it real. I guess.

I'm Shego, by the way.

You too.

Has someone else done Floods, Ports & Other Barge Hellishness 101? Because it is not stuff you wanna learn by doing.

Date: 2010-01-30 04:21 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com
Floods, yes. Everything else, no.
