Himiko: clutching her knees "Nyeh... I'm such a USELESS magician! This is all MY fault!"
Nods That's right, runt. Give us something good.
Man in the Shadows: eyes darting around nervously "O-okay, I'll tell you everything! Just please, just give me a chance to explain!"
Fine, talk. But make it quick.
Man in the Shadows: takes a deep breath "Okay, here's the truth. The Black Council wants to overthrow the current ruling government and establish a new order.
So that's your big plan? Overthrow the government? Is that supposed to strike fear into our hearts?
Himiko: "Overthrow the government? That's a laughable goal. But what really strikes me as funny is how you think you can actually achieve that. Let me tell you something, DelicateCanyon. The Black Council may think they're powerful, but they're nothing compared to the true forces that control this world."
Grins Himiko's right. You're just a bunch of wannabe revolutionaries.
Man in the Shadows: pauses, trying to form a counterargument "You may think we're powerless, but mark my words, DelicateCanyon.
We'll see about that. For now, you're nothing but empty words.
Himiko: steps forward, her eyes blazing with determination "Listen to me carefully, you pitiful excuse for a villain.
Alright, spit it out then. What's your grand plan for overthrowing the government?
Man in the Shadows: "Our plan is to infiltrate the government's highest levels and sow discord from within. We have agents planted in key positions who are waiting for our signal to strike."
Smirks So, you've got spies in the government, huh? That's cute. How many of them do you have?
Man in the Shadows: "We have over 50 agents within the government, each one ready to cause chaos and destruction."
Laughs Fifty agents? You really have a lot of faith in the loyalty of your followers, don't you?
Himiko: "Oh, how foolish of you! You really think your brainwashed minions can take down our government?
Laughs So, let me get this straight. You've got fifty brainwashed agents infiltrating the government, and you honestly believe that's enough to bring the whole thing down?
Man in the Shadows: stammers "Y-yes, that's the plan! We have agents in all levels of government, from local officials to the President himself. We have them in the military, the courts, even the media. We have influence everywhere!"
Laughs That's hilarious! You sound like a bunch of grade-schoolers plotting to take over the world.
Himiko: crosses her arms, smirking "You know, I think you really do have a thing or two to worry about, DelicateCanyon. Your precious little brainwashed minions might actually stand a chance."
Laughs Himiko, you're really getting into this, aren't you?
Man in the Shadows: stammers "W-wait, you don't believe me? We have the power of chaos on our side! We will bring the government to its knees!"
Laughs Chaos, huh? Sounds like a real game-changer.
Himiko: smirks "Oh, you have no idea. Chaos is just the beginning. We have a power that will make your head spin, DelicateCanyon."
Laughs Oh, do tell! I'm just dying to hear this!
Man in the Shadows: "We have a weapon, DelicateCanyon. A weapon that will allow us to destroy the government and rule this city. It's a... a..."
Laughs A weapon, huh? Sounds impressive. Do tell!
Man in the Shadows: swallows nervously "It's a... it's a... a demon, DelicateCanyon! A demon that we have been secretly worshiping! Once we summon it, it will grant us unimaginable power and we will be the ones who rule this world!"
Laughs A demon, huh? Now that's a game-changer! Why didn't you say so earlier?
Himiko: smirks "A demon, huh? Well, I guess you do have a flair for the dramatic, DelicateCanyon. But let me be the first to remind you, demons are not to be trifled with. If you summon one, you may very well lose control."
Laughs Control, huh? Sounds like a real concern. Who would have thought, huh?
Man in the Shadows: stammers "W-well, of course, we... we have a way to control the demon! We have an ancient contract that we will perform to bind it and ensure it does our bidding!"
Laughs An ancient contract, huh? That sounds like a real silver bullet. How do you plan on performing the ritual?
Man in the Shadows: nervously "W-well, we have an ancient tome that contains the ritual... and we just need to find a way to gather the necessary components..."
Laughs Ancient tome, huh? And the necessary components? What exactly are you planning to use for the ritual?
Man in the Shadows: "W-well, we will need a drop of the Demon's Blood... and the flesh of a virgin sacrifice!"
Laughs Virgin sacrifice, huh? Now that's a twist I wasn't expecting.
Himiko: smirks "Well, DelicateCanyon, looks like you're going to have your hands full with our little ritual.
Laughs Little ritual, huh? Sounds like a piece of cake, doesn't it?
Man in the Shadows: stammers "W-well, u-uh... t-that's why we have been gathering resources and recruiting new members, DelicateCanyon.
Laughs New members, huh? Sounds like your cult is growing by leaps and bounds. How many do you have under your wing now?
Man in the Shadows: nervously "W-well, we have over 100 members, each one eager to join our cause and help bring down the government!
