retrospec | (no subject)

It's been brought to my attention (again) that some of you are looking for compensation for the work you're doing. I'm open to that. So tell me, Retrospecters, what is it that you're looking for? Money? Answers? None of the above? I'm all ears.

The scouting project seems to be working out okay. I don't know if any of you have found a place that's really good to relocate or recover but maybe we should talk about that, too.

…finally, bit of a morality question for you.

What's the priority here, you think? Working on chasing Vanderweele down this rabbit hole of a wild goose chase (wow that is too many animal analogies), or memory recovery of the company itself? Both of them are about as convoluted as you think, but not impossible.

Wait, not finally. One more thing since someone brought it up: in case you haven't noticed yet, you might want to pay attention to the things you've managed to bring back because, and I hate to make it sounds real drastic, but the fate of the world kinda depends on it? Just a little. Welcome to your destiny, everybody.

Anyway discuss. I'm back in the office, so drop by if you need something.

hmmmm, I suppose it does.

And...well, I'm just better equipped to deal with stuff now so, I guess not much scares me? Cause most things I can either burn or slice with Amon's sword.

Yeah! Mine is sort of something out of Sheherazade's 1001 Arabian nights.

True, could come in handy, I wish Amon talked more though, I don't want to find out that I've been abusing him, cause I know he is a person in there, he just, doesn't do anything other then magic when I command him.

Even so, that's no reason to rush in carelessly! If you have a plan of attack in place, you'll be much better equipped to react if things go poorly. If rushing in half-cocked with flames blazing doesn't work, you're gonna be in trouble.

[...wow, where did all that come from? She shudders at the outburst, even if he can't see it. She's been more of a planner in her game world, but that was a little forceful even for her.]

Hmmmm. I wonder if Amon remembers that past life or if he's struggling with it just like we are? Maybe it's different since you command his power, though.

Your right, your right I do need to work on being more stragetic in my approach, to use my powers as effectively as possible.

I thought it would be like...Disney's Alladin, having a genie around that could talk, maybe keep me level headed or just have a built in friend with me at all times...

which, I would have been more then happy to have Robin Willams or Will Smith, but...nothing, the Big old blue guy says nothing at all(I know because memory of him looking down and bascially being like "who the hell waltzed in here wanting to be king".)

And to avoid collateral damage, which is a real risk when you're flinging fire around.

Going off those movies, I'd say you might have to use one of your wishes to get him to talk, but I guess he's not that kind of genie.

And maybe you lucked out in a way. Wouldn't the constant musical numbers get old after a while?

Yeah, not to say anything of my oppenent, I had to fight a teleporting demon once, and...

yeah...you can imagine the poor park I was in.

If I'm calm though, my flames don't burn things.

True, but, imagine just riding around in an elephant as a prince...

damn, I could have actually gotten the royal treatment past me deserved.

I remember that your flames don't always burn things from our unplanned detour at the zoo... I was pretty irked at the time, wasn't I?

[Cue the sweatdrop laughter emoji.]

Riding around on an elephant would be cool, but being a prince or princess would be so much work! Besides, I'm kinda partial to the Rapunzel story... though I guess both involve thieves in big roles.

Well, you had a good reason too, dude falls from the sky and amoung other things set himself on fire?

Not a regular Tuesday that's for sure

[Also cue the same emoji, because you know, awkward moment was awkward, but he is glad they are kinda laughing about it now.]

I imagine you could delegate some of the work, even though I was a prince in my last life...I just remember practicing sword fighting a lot with the head general a lot. But I did see the king's desk once, and, freak it was a huge desk with lots of paper work.
