[He's back in the music hall. Listen, he's got fond memories of the music hall, even if he's still pretty mad that Balthier jacked up his piano in the name of revenge. That's what he's working on at the moment, but-- really, it's probably not going to play again anytime soon. Oh well. There are some electric keyboards here, but it's not the same as a piano, okay.]

[He works because it's soothing. He likes to work with his hands. Keeps his mind busy, and belies that he is actually a teensy bit nervous about the list business. But he'll never let them see him sweat. He's a goddamn supervillain.]

Let's cut to the chase.

Yes. Theres a list and certain people are on it. No, it's not complete. No, we don't know who else is on it. Yes, a lot of people are wetting their jumpsuits over it and what it might mean. Personally, I think were it not ranked by our little prison codes [he taps his arm] I would be at the top, because it is obviously a list of awesome.

...or horrible doom, one or the other.

Either way, while you're all scrambling to make your heavily encrypted posts and pretending there's not a bunch of hackers out there sniffing around your encryptions I'd like to point out that doing that is proooooobably the panic our red friend wants to leak.

[he sits back, spreading his hands, screw driver twirled between his fingers.] I mean, do you really think this isn't a game? That he's not enjoying watching you all panic and tear at your hair while he sits back and enjoys the chaos? It's what I'd be doing, if I wanted to sow dissent in the crew I wanted to keep too distracted to be unified. I mean, this is a classic villain tactic. Trust me -- it's what we do. We make you worry and cry and wonder, and while you're all busy looking at each other, we walk off with -- whatever we're walking off with. Man, I remember-- well, never mind. Roxanne can tell you all about the Blame Thrower - man, I have never been so happy to have a Douglas Adams book in the prison library. Gave me some great ideas! 

Anyway. Our red friend has said that nothing is off the record. So maybe while you good guys are all busy worrying about what people are going to think of the list -- which includes at least one ex-con and mutineer, yours truly -- I should remind you: We all have numbers and we're all on a list somewhere. Like our ill planned passenger manifests; I can name at least five people off the top of my enormous head that were making lists; powers, skills, affiliations... and people got their jumpsuits in a twist over those too. Heck, I had my own threat lists when I was mutinying. Which ones of you were dangerous. Which ones of you weren't. The former list was pretty short, but even I misjudged who belonged on it. [Thanks, Kara.]

So: Lists. We're on them. Nothing's really changed, except we found out someone who isn't one of us is keeping one. So, back to business as usual, right?

Speaking of business as usual: I'm even more excited to get to our engineering field trip now! Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, I'd like to invite along Isaac Clarke and Tali - you guys want to get to that sooner as opposed to later? The more we find out, the better off we are.

"Engineering Field Trip" Megamind?

[NOT EXACTLY DISBELIEVING. Just. Your choice of words.]

[audio]

[megamind]

Oh yes. Where I take folks through the bowels of the ship to show them what I found. Communication hubs, how to identify certain things, things like that.

I was originally going to take Kirk and Spock, but in the spirit of inclusiveness I thought since Tali was back and you've been making yourself at home in engineering we could all go-- oh, oh, and we should take Caprica! She's in engineering now!

[audio]

[cutsofftheirlimbs]

That's certainly... benevolent of you. Sounds like a fun little tour. Might help me get a lot more of my mapping done then.

Caprica, huh?

[Megamind makes a sound, a gurgle, a gghhk of DO NOT WANT]

Please stop ascribing noble motives me. It's going to give me hives.

[audio]

[re_imagining]

That would be me.

[re_imagining]

Tsk, forgot all about me so soon?

[megamind]

Oh, you're just new to engineering, that's all.

[re_imagining]

[Yeah sure Megamind.]

Mmmmhm. I see.

[notpanicking]

Let's not talk about the Blame Thrower.

[megamind]

The Blame Thrower was great, and it almost worked too!

[notpanicking]

Key word, Megamind. Almost.

I know this is out of left field, but what is up with your head, man?

[megamind]

[so many face palms]

I'm not human, if the blue skin, unnaturally green eyes and enlarged cranium weren't a clue, dimwit.

Re: Video

[master_of_the_game]

Yes, but I was wondering if it gave you any abilities, or if it was just cosmetic.

[This is Haymitch. This is Haymitch laid up with an injury and not giving a twig about this whole thing- THANKS MATTIE. But... He can't just leave Megamind to keep fooling himself.

It's funny. So you know, that's why he's cackling right now.]

Setting our minds at ease, are you?

[megamind]

Just tired of watching you chase your own tails.

[killarevolution]

Not interested in the whole thing, myself. Pointless is what it is.

We're ready when you are.

[megamind]

Oh good. [Coordinates] See you there!

[voice]

[sammyskeleton]

[Oh yes this is very villainous of you, Megamind, trying to calm the masses. Skulduggery will just be over here, not mentioning that fact.]

And yet, for all of this, I have this mental image of you jumping in glee for being put on a mysterious, probably threatening list. [HE KNOWS YOU'RE PROBABLY REALLY EXCITED OKAY, he would be too.]

[voice]

[megamind]

I might've even clapped and wiggled a little. [Seriously shut up he's in denial over here. Deep, deep denial.]

[voice]

[sammyskeleton]

It's the little things. So, what are your theories on it? I would give mine, but I actually don't know what's on the list. I wouldn't have known you were on it if you hadn't said anything, to be honest.

[ to be honest, considering that neither her name, or kurt's or blaine's are on the list, quinn hasn't really cared. actually considering until now she's only talked to about one person on the list, for now she's not that freaked out, not really anyways... her mind is still reeling from the mind gas... ]

And if you were in charge, what sort of lists would you be making?

text;

[megamind]

I wouldn't be.

Well, actually, I might. Just to keep track of who comes and goes. That's nice to know - our 'human' resources, as it were. But I'm fairly sure lists are passe.

[cheerioless]

Human resources. Interesting.

And I'm fairly sure you're right. A waste of time if you ask me.

[ this coming from a girl who made a list of the hottest glee club members, in an attempt to be popular again. ]
