Ann: well just say something that comes to mind. anything at all. and don't worry I understand if it seems absurd.*is just inches away, next to him*
*elsewhere*
Mia: *sends a few texts* I hope he's ok.
Jasmine: perhaps he need our help.
Mia:well I guess we can search for him. let's check his usual hangouts first.
Ann: well I'll let you in on a secret.*gets in close and whispers into his ear* if you hang around girls more it won't be as bad.*embraces him* it also helps if you ask.*looks at the clock on the wall* oh jeez has it been so long already? we best get going.
*one trip to pico's room later*
*elsewhere in the training room*
Jasmine: hmm not here either…
Mia:hmm you think this would be the place seeing how he's always in here. maybe he went to another area…
*one outfit change later *
Ann: ok let's head out*opens door to see Jasmine and Mia*oh hey there.
Mia: hey.*notices pico* what's up with him?
Ann: well I found him redder than a tomato in the jacuzzi. I guess he didn't see the sign. can you make sure he gets back?
Jasmine: but of course. *helps pico over her shoulder*
Mia: thanks again you have a wonderful night.*get's pico's other arm* So spa Day? what made you do that?
Snow: Great. One problem solved with another. So what you're saying is that you basically control the whole world economy, more or less. Mall and amusement park here, design company and certificate of approval there, people won't like that. In fact, people feel threatened by monopoles.
SB: But we're unique in the world. Of course we are a monopole, we don't even have competition in our field.
Snow: Basically every factory, every bureau, every service agent, every economical branch, hell, even every single government is our competition! We meddle with all aspects of economy possible, and we take the absolute lone, dictatorial top. As one who has seen how horrible turns on events the downfall of such would invoke, I can tell you even if Zot is never in the danger of going bankrupt, the imagination of the »What if«-case is still there. Not only would a bankruptcy of Zot cause the worst world economy crisis in history, it would throw the whole world's life standard back into the middle ages. People couldn't afford anymore to turn one lightbulb on for one second in a year! The economy wouldn't recover from such a backlash ever, and even if it seems impossible something like that would happen, the option is still there to imagine, and that's what frightens the people. When I said we should use our influence to better the world, I meant that we should push politics and economy in the right direction, not that we should take over seventy percent of the world in order to change it. Let alone the size of Zot in economy and on the job market is a potential threat to the world, ergo, not good for our PR. That's why you should give order out there that NO ONE outside Zot is allowed to expose their employer to anyone on any way. Contravention should have dire consequences- not really, mind you, it's just supposed to be a motivator for them to keep their mouths shut. And nothing too inhuman either, not that an employee of Zot himself would expose us as the monsters we're depicted to be. And lastly, we should do EVERYTHING in our power to keep anyone from noticing our monopole in worldwide economy and minder that status step by step to a point where a bankruptcy of Zot wouldn't wipe organized economy from the planet's surface, let's say to a ten thousandth or less of our current influence. It may seem stupid to recommend that, but seriously, after all this time it's better to finally remove the stabilizer wheels from their bike.
Ink: “say, Torvek. Do you have the beacon ready yet?”
Torvek: “obviously; you just saw me…” he says with annoyance before catching himself. “you’re doing it again. You’re ‘spotlight’ is on us again.”
Ink: “so it is. Anyway, the beacon?” Ink says with a smile in his voice
Torvek: *sigh* “The beacon is ready. It’s a fixed dimensional and temporal anomaly without real purpose. It passes through all parallel dimensions but is neither a portal nor window to any. It is stable and non-collapsing. It is, in short, the most difficult and most boring thing I have ever made. Why did I make it?
Ink: “so I can move it to SB’s office. It’s an invitation for the other writers.”
Torvek: “…okay, even by your standards that doesn’t make any sense at all. How is that an invitation? No, wait; they are going to read it. That’s your answer to everything so it has to be true.”
Ink: “yes, shadowbladeXIII, Dark Ninja, picosux224, and SnowTheHedgehog are invited to join the new RP; Intolerance.”
Torvek: “so you are letting SB, Snow, DN and Pico into one of your new worlds?”
Ink: “no, I am inviting their writers, by the same names, to join me in a new world. No, it’s not supposed to make any sense.” *takes beacon and sends it to SB’s office.* “I don’t intend to step into the spotlight again anytime soon, so let us wrap up some loose ends for a moment. The book that Rhiannon found is a new avatar of me bound to an unnatural form just as she was stuck as a glaive. When she writes on the blank pages I write back. I won’t make things as they were before because it would be a lousy story and I’m sure that this world isn’t real.”
Torvek: “so what, I’m a hallucination and you are still stuck in my tomb? How does that work with the “other writers” and all that?”
Ink: “clearly I am insane and spouting non-sense, now shut up. I will leave this with the beacon for Claire” *holds up an un-marked stone before it moves to be under the beacon* “it will allow her to seal the nachzehrer for about a day. Once. All she need do is swallow it. any attempt to extend that time or meddle with the stone will shatter it and likely releasethe nachzehrer as a bane upon humanity.”

SB: now hold up. While I may have a monopole I don't own 70% of the world economy at most its a hundred thousansth though likely less. I haven't bought anyone out nor do I plan on it. All Zot employees know to keep ther lip shut about us. Its in the contract I have them read over and make sure they want to join us. As for money, I've even been distrubuting the profit Zot makes off of being an anonomous donater to those less fortunate in small ammounts, to keep the economy from crashing, after I changed my goal of what I wanted Zot to be. I have cut so many costs already from us gaining any form of profit. the only money we get is the money I spend on the employees, the bills for food and clothes shipping, fuel for the airships, new tools and equipment for repairs, repairs to the damage done to the tower, food for the metroids, health and dental plans, the costs to make the medcine and prostetics, not to mention the side projects. I could go on that would take too long so I'll just cut to the chase. Every cent we make and are donated goes into our work for helping others and the rest we give back to the people.
Snow: … Have you ever heard yourself talking? And have you ever heard what others say? You constantly contradict yourself while not even listening. What we are doing… Is. Not. Important. What we seem to be doing, what our influence seems to be, that's what is of importance here. And honestly, after that dandy little list you listed up just a moment ago, I don't believe our economical importance is that tiny anymore. *he raises his hands as if he burned them* It's your facility, shadowblade. It's your decision. I'm just saying what I'm thinking. That this whole facility is about to collide with a massive wall head on.
SB:of course I have been listening to you all. Its part of being a good leader.
Snow:(of course you do)
SB:So then, I'll put the brakes on the tower and make peace. I'll invite the world leaders to see what we all do once the amusement park is fixed, apologize for nearly bringing ardmageddon, and go public with Zot. I'll formulate a plan that won't bankupt the world along with other economists. Admittily that would be what is for the better and gain the trust of the people. It'll take some time sure but then again most things do. All I need is assitence managing it all to happen. I'm only one being after all. So can you all please help me get on the right track and point me where I need to start?
Snow: I just did.
SB: excellent. Then I'll get started bettering our image, making peace and covering up the monopole.
*elsewhere*
Doc:*sigh* …getting bored. perhaps a bite to eat would help to distract me.
Snow: Good. *he smiles a bit for a second* Would be a shame to watch everything crumble you've built up after all. Oh, and just another heads up: When the rest of the world knows Zot as what it is, and refrains from war, we'll step down from our position.
SB: … Excuse me, could you say that again?
Val: If you're alright with it, me and Snow, we'll give back our passes and be nothing more than simple watchmen. Admittedly, I thought he and I agreed on waiting with this a little more time- *a short, non-serious accusionary glare towards him*
Snow: *shrug* It seemed like the appropriate moment.
Val: -but oh well, it's out now.
SB:…if you feel comfterable with it then I'm ok with it. While losing some benifits, you'll still have the office up on the 8th floor, your coverage for your future family plan will stay as it is, you'll still have acess toDimensionS and I'll still build you your home. *smirks* you know, its funny I was actually planing on promoting you guys after this goverment Fiasco.
Val: Hell no, thanks. It'll be nice to actually not have to worry about what ever. Don't get me wrong, but this facility's insanity is more than we can bear after some time.
DN: And you stand by it, Snow? You're really not going to participate in the tourney?
Snow: I wouldn't see why. It was obvious after the triple sparring match. I may have come out on top, but the sole reason was because I was the only one who went all out. Unlike me, you had still power resources to fall back on. Let's all face it, I can't live up to any of you anymore. *he points at himself with an excusing smile* Look at me, I'm thirty eight! About time for me to shift down a gear… *he looks at Val* … and focus on what really matters.
