Dr. Devious, truly a deadly foe if ever we faced one! But never fear, Omegafriends, for evil never triumphs in the end!

As to Dr. Devious, I have faced her ilk before. I'm confident she'll fold nicely under a direct confrontation, but actually MANAGING that confrontation is surprisingly tricky. Have any of you considered searching for her lair instead of her device? Doing what a mastermind suggests you do rarely works out well.

[Action]


[Robert Parr: ordinary citizen and definitely NOT a retired superhero. Today he's taken a stop on his way home from work to do some every day heroism: Pick up the dry cleaning, grab some ground beef for dinner, and look into getting the car window replaced. As such, any other totally ordinary citizens of Venture City can find a large, extremely bored looking man at the dry cleaners, the supermarket, or the autoshop. Ah, the daily grind!]

[Later, at home]
As always, Bob getting home is accompanied by a slight jolt through the house as he closes the door. Fortunately, the house was built with super strength in mind. He's only accidentally pulled the door off of the hinges ONCE.

"I'm home! They were out of the normal beef, so I had to get the organic kind."

[He leans against the wall - blinking when he hear the rather large office worker mutter. Well, he certainly recognized that voice]

While half the featured celebrities are little more then dust in the wind.

[Darn it - he shouldn't have commented, but now he has, he'll just have to deal with small talk]

Ain't that just how it goes? Once your fifteen minutes are up, everyone wants you to go away and stop bothering them.

[Something about this sounds...familiar.]

[If this was who he thought... what was his name again?]

It's almost tragic - that battered old piece of paper lasted longer then their hopes and aspirations, and it's captured forever as if mocking them.

[He stifles a yawn - Kuja had forgotten how long these appointments can be, doesn't help the mechanics tend to get extremely cautious when a maserati is brought in]

[Bob checked his watch, stealing a glance at the other guy. He DID sound familiar. Especially all the overly dramatic language. Not someone from work. Someone from the old days?]

I dunno, I'd kinda like to hold on to something like this if I were one of them. Better to remember the glory days than pretend they never happened.

[villain_of_this_play]

[Definitely from the old days - though back then, Kuja had a somewhat more... questionable taste in fashion.

But so did everyone else then]

Remembering is one thing, but it's best not to live forever in it's shadow and be a mere shade of one's self.

[Enough beating around the bush.]

Okay this is driving me crazy but, I'm sure I've met you somewhere before.
