[Sure, we've got plenty of unit posts, but what about everything that doesn't fit into one of those? Feel like making yourself a snack? Want to have an emotional outburst in the lobby?

Mingle away, folks.]

[looking over his shoulder.]

[It looks like a hot mess to be honest. Who knows what he's trying to puzzle out. There are angled mirrors and lights and platforms and ---

Yeah]

I thought about stopping by avante, but I didn't know if you were all in the mood for guests. Everything considered.

I'm in a great mood.

[And now that they're not in the game tower, they do seem relaxed to the point of cheerfulness.]

What are you drawing?

Trying to figure out if I can get a holodeck without have to pay points for one.

[Kicking out a chair for them]

Would you like to sit?

[They drop into the chair.]

Why do you need a holodeck?

Why wouldn't I want a holodeck?

[READ: Because he played a card game without one and it was fucking awful]

For your cards? You should show me more.

I will when I get this up and running.

It seems like that type of technology was my specialty back where I came from.

Was it considered advanced, in your world? I can't remember much like it in mine.

Advanced enough to make me CEO of a very powerful company.

What was your agenda...?

[. . .]

Don't remember all of the details. But does it matter?

[hm, tilts head.]

You had power. What were you doing with it?

[Spending billions of dollars to bring King from HSS back from the dead]

Flaunting it. And apparently doing a good job.

That can't have been it.

I ran the company with my little brother and was known for being an eccentric, overbearing pain in the ass.

Anything else would require purchasing more memories, which I am not interested in the slightest.

Why not?

What's the point?

It's a fucking lottery where at best, you can learn a useful skill, but at worse it's going to fuck you up or fuck up someone from the same world as you. And now that it seems the producers have pulled five people from my world -- that's a lot of potential to manipulate the memories in order to maximize ratings.

Mm. So is your plan to just reign in hell when everything's said in done?

I'm going to redecorate. As much as I can get away with without destroying whatever stupid cosmic function this place surely supports.

And what if you can't take suffering out of the equation?

Some people still think this place is better than wherever they came from.

So it's not completely without a niche market should it need to stay in business. Though that is not my preferred solution.

[wrinkles their nose.]

Yeah, lording over hell with Aries as your constituent sounds great.

Aries can fuck off to wherever he came from! And Trash.

Oh, did you two talk...? Who's Trash?
