010: Returning Guardian [Video/Action for housemates, backdated to 7th June]

[beautifulmidboss]

[With his victory in the Guardianship elections announced, Midboss' ego was well and truly sky high. When he starts the video feed, he can be seen reclining on his sofa at home, sipping from a glass of wine.]

Well, well, well! It would seem the people here recognise that I was truly the only candidate fit to reside over Attleton.

It is a great honour that my beautiful power, my capabilities and strength, continue to be given the credit they deserve - all others too intimidated to stand against the force that is The Dark Adonis Vyers!

Mais bien sûr, I shall endeavour to impress you further in the months to come. I welcome all of your congratulations and adoration, I have not left you so stunned that you find yourself speechless!

A truly glorious era will continue in Attleton, I shall make sure of it--

[Just as he is about to finish his grand speech, a flash of blue hair can be seen in the background, before a chair is thrown from the other side of the room, hitting Midboss squarely in the side of the head. The shock causes him to drop his communicator and spill his precious red wine all over the sofa.]

OWW!!!

[And as it hits the ground, the feed abruptly cuts.]

Face. Palm.

[youfool]

Be careful, O speech-slayingly beautiful demon! An usurper even now bears the tools of revolution!

[beautifulmidboss]

He can try, but my rival will never truly defeat moi!

[have_hat_will_travel]

And a chair hits already. Not even, what, a minute into your reign?

[beautifulmidboss]

[Don't mind him sulking.]

That was not supposed to happen! I will make him pay for interrupting my glorious speech...!

[have_hat_will_travel]

The speech wasn't that good, honestly.

[beautifulmidboss]

What...how dare you insult moi!! It was a rousing speech that truly reflected my greatness, just because you have no taste for it!!

[sakuya_izayoi]

Sakuya bit the inside of her cheek to stifle a laugh, her expression remaining as stoic as she could manage.

[beautifulmidboss]

Midboss was definitely sulking at this mess, collecting his device as he tried to brush himself down.

"Ergh... unforgivable, to target moi like that at the end of such a brilliant speech..."

[mintchip]

No one else ran for Attleton since it's the quietest city around, I think.

[ She would've run for Attleton herself if she could've thought of an excuse to rally people behind her with for it, but she couldn't. ]

[beautifulmidboss]

Perhaps, but I would like to liven up the place a little if I can. After all, we are the only city with an Arena.

I wish you luck in the elections, by the way.

[mintchip]

What'd you have in mind?

Thanks. I'll try my best.

[beautifulmidboss]

Well, expanding the Arena, for starters. Aside from that... I need to look a little closer at what I can do with the place. I want to make it somewhere where everyone can show off their skills freely!

[symphonyofdestruction]

[It'd been some time since Vyers had won a tiny sliver of the girl's respect, and it may just be wearing off now.]

I'm in a good mood, so I'll offer you some advice. If you want people to take you seriously, try NOT acting like a complete idiot.

[beautifulmidboss]

[Vyers had a sad habit of doing that. He was never quite able to shake the status of buttmonkey from his world.]

M-Mademoiselle! How could you!

If it weren't for my rival rudely interrupting moi, that would have been a fine victory speech!

[kindprincess]

Um... Is everything okay?

[beautifulmidboss]

[Aside from him never having any respect? Just fine.]

Oui, oui...although my wine and sofa have been quite thoroughly ruined...

To disrupt my speech like that, I cannot believe him!

[Yes, he's sulking.]

[kindprincess]

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm ure you can find wine and a sofa though, so it isn't all that bad.

[beautifulmidboss]

I do hope so... still, I was enjoying that wine!

[He sighed, folding his arms.]

Thank you, though, I appreciate the concern.

Voice

[deadlysakura]

Oh, dear, how embarrassing.

Voice

[beautifulmidboss]

Ah, Zoisite...

That was not supposed to happen! He was intimidated by my claim to leadership and thus sought to discredit moi! That is all!

Voice

[deadlysakura]

Mm, I see. That sort of thing is rather common where I'm from. [Except he was the one seeking to discredit Nephrite but shhhh]

[notsoholyspirit]

You are comfortably consistent, Vyers. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Congratulations. You may want to try and reduce your number of victory concussions, though.

[beautifulmidboss]

Spirit! Goodness, it's been some time since I heard from you. How are you?

[Nevermind the rest, a wash of relief came over Vyers to hear from his old friend again - the last time he'd heard anything from Spirit, it hadn't been good.]

Still, thank you. I'll work on that. It is simply because my rival fears my position!

[notsoholyspirit]

Your rival sign? You have bigger issues than I thought.

[The weapon leans back behind the cancers and sighs. He looks tired. Stressed. It's hidden better than their last interaction but present enough in the darl bags under his eyes. With a sigh, he rests his hand on his chin.

I'm hanging in there. It's...just me, now. Kid, Stein, Maka--they've all gone home. I'm trying to get used to an empty apartment. Charlotte likes the space.

How are you?
