Chapter 618: VV4, 12 - Table Talk

VV4, 12 - Table Talk

Dr. Zlo appeared inside his usual haunt, the repurposed mansion on the underside of Skyline. His minions came to greet him, alerted to his presence by the clattering of surprised Jacques.

Boss! Cass said as soon as he came down. Thank goodness youre here! Some of the Jacques thought it would be a good idea to bake you a cake in the kitchen.

How repulsive, Dr. Zlo said. You know I abhor any form of kindness.

Cass wrung his hands together. I know, boss. I tried to warn them. But they just made dismissive gestures and continued with their task.

Well, feel free to get Brunhilde to punish them, Dr. Zlo said. Shell whip them into shape.

Thats just it, boss, Cass said. One of the Jacques baking the cake is Brunhildes lover.

Dr. Zlo rolled his eyes. Fine. It seems I must do everything myself!

Dylan strode up the stairs, opening his messenger as he did.

Superfan39526:

Going to be a bit late. Jacques situation.

JackOLeen:

No worries.

The player made their way into the kitchen. A squad of Jacques stood around a single mixing bowl, each taking a turn to stir what looked to be cake batter. Dylan didnt have to act to make a face, the batter looked lumpy.

What is this nonsense! He shouted.

The Jacques jumped and then turned as one to try and hide the bowl.

Dont you try and hide that! Dr. Zlo roared. Cass told me you were attempting to bake me a cake! Me, the foremost criminal mastermind!

The Jacques all nodded. The four behind the one in front pushed the minion, making him stumble forward.

Well, Dr. Zlo said with an arched eyebrow. Explain yourself.

The Jacques performed a series of hand gestures, many of which Dylan couldnt catch. However, he was able to uncover the gist of the conversation.

You wanted to do something special for our yearly anniversary? The villain asked incredulously.

I dont mind, Oro said. I hadnt put too much thought into this character other than that I needed to be the tank. Thats normally the role I take with everyone else.

Do you like doing it? Sweet Dream asked.

Oro shrugged. Its alright. Interesting enough and its fun to laugh at people who cant hurt me.

Ooh, youve got a sadistic streak, Jack said with a smirk.

I mean, he did tie himself up at one point, so maybe not, Dylan joked.

Oro laughed. Come on now dont pin this on me. You were totally into at the time.

Well I couldnt help it, Dylan said. If a hero is tied up and Dr. Zlo is in the vicinity. He has to monologue.

Dude! Riptide exclaimed. Are you another super nerd?

I mean I enjoy it as much as the next guy, Oro said. Theyre a fun time when you want to turn your brain off. I love the ones that make you think though.

Before we get any more off topic, Sweet Dream said. Oro, do you want to stay as this character? We dont mind if you make something else you havent tried before.

Im good guys, Oro said. I dont have another villain idea in mind. Besides, Im more about the experience. It was why we went through all the quests in the beginning. Theres a ton of story in each city, and some span multiple cities. Sure some are bad, but others knock it outta the park.

Well, if youre fine with it, were fine with it, Jack said. Now, what kind of crime should we commit?

Im all for the, rob the high tech facility, one, Oro said.

I dont know. Its a bit too mundane for someone whod hang with Dr. Zlo, Dylan said.

What if we stole a meteorite or something? Sweet Dream offered. Play into the whole, star metal is somehow this mystical metal of power, trope.

I think that would depend on the meteorite, Jack answered. Any old one wont do.

We could also search for metals that are only found in superhero stories, Oro commented. Like adamantium and such.

Dudes, lets obtain some unobtanium, Riptide laughed.

Dylan chuckled. An idea struck him. Wait, since Dr. Zlo has to be the smartest guy in the room, how about we steal materials so he can make a new metal for Rough? We could steal the mystical star metals, adamantium, and all sorts of things.

That sounds like a bigger thing than a simple crime, Oro said. I dont want to take up all that time. Lets do something we can finish before the morning.

Fair enough, Dylan said. He filed the impossible metal away for later.

You know, we should ask Dextra, Jack said. Im sure theyll have a good suggestion, considering they know everything.
