[Max is sitting on an office chair and lazily spinning around on what appears to be a stage. He's wearing the equivalent of BK's crown.]

Employees are the greatest invention ever! These humans don't acknowledge Inhuman royalty, but they'll still cater to my every whim.

[He indicates to whoever is holding the communicator to pan over to a bunch of people standing around and fanning or feeding a very large bulldog. They look like they're only tolerating this for their pay-cheque. A snap of his fingers has the camera back on him.]

But I put forward a question to my fellow refugees, name a show with sufficient amount of explosions so these won't go to waste.

[He finally stands up and claps his hands twice. The wall behind him explodes and the camera drops to the ground as people scream and run out evidently deciding this is not worth the money. Max comes back into view as he stands over it.]

Hmm, less loyal than I hoped. That was only a very small one too.

[And then he bends down to pick it up and the video ends.]

And this is the emergent pattern: with every additional imPort acquired, we're that much closer to an apocalypse.

[Is that a Mad Max pun? IS IT?

No, because Chilton has never seen such footage, but we can still believe.]

voice;

[madpretender]

[Chilton is correct in Max's opinion, but not because of his actions.]

Well it has to come sooner or later.

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

[Chilton hesitated, before shrugging -- not something necessarily audible, but nevertheless, he considered the other imPort's words.]

Are you preparing for such an event? Or are you bringing it upon us?

[walkingballpit]

[Robbie's face is the human equivalent of capslock. You know what never ends well? Powers and tv shows.]

What the hell are you doing?! Please tell me they're stuntpeople.

[madpretender]

They are actors, I believe stunt people fall into that category so perhaps.

[hydraated]

[What the hell. What the hell. What the hell.

This needs to stop. Really. Between the talking dinosaur and now this...

He really needs to decide where he stands with this.]

...You have more of those.

[madpretender]

Yes and?

[Is there a problem with the mad man having explosives?]

[nestingdevil]

[Well isn't that something familiar.]

[Greed 'tsks' on his side of the line.] Not really smart, are ya? Eh-

[He might be shrugging on his end. And there also might be a hint of a hiss in his voice.] - that's a bit of a waste.

[madpretender]

Hmph, I am quite brilliant actually.

[He's intelligent, but lacks wisdom.]

It's not a waste if they're easily replaced.

-> actionspam bc i'm a jackass

[hackitude]

[Skye's walking past the building on the other side of the street when the bomb goes off. She's not close enough to really be hurt, and some debris goes flying by in front of her, but she does jump nearly out of her skin with shock.]

What in the hell--!

[And because she's Skye, of course the first thing she does (once the shock wears off and she stops staring and calls 911) is run into the wreckage. Naturally.]

Hey! Hey, is there anyone in here? Does anyone need help?

all aboard the soon to be trainwreck

[madpretender]

[A few people rush past her. They're in too much of a panic to respond, but they're evidently uninjured. Venturing further inside finds Max sitting on the edge of the stage by himself, his fast food crown sits crookedly on his head. The dog that was seen in his post has evidently disappeared.]

Do you know any plays?

[Other than some dust, he also appears to be fine.]

[permavoice]

[jumbie]

[Oh look...it's one of the roommates. Dalila is not at all impressed.]

Was you dropped on your head when you was little?

[madpretender]

I stood too close to something rather like Icarus of the human Greek mythology. But it's alright, I had my mind opened.

And what exactly would have been the loyal choice on their part? [Oh but hello. A trouble maker? Good to see, he's been getting damn bored lately with all the do gooders around here. But maybe his approach is just off. Explosions? That's a bit easy to get into.]

[madpretender]

[He rolls his eyes and sighs dramatically like the answer should be obvious.]

To continue playing the parts I assigned them!

[screenplays]

Is that a giant dog?

[ PRIORITIES. ]

[madpretender]

No, this is Maximus.

[ectomy]

[ What even was that. Explanations cease to exist but... apparently questions don't. ]

But what was the point?

[madpretender]

Do I need one?

[That really should say everything about him.]

[altercate]

Every whim, you were saying?

[madpretender]

Do you have hearing problems? There's a volume button.

[bombsaway]

[Grinning ear to ear, she throws her arms up in the air and jumps in her seat] KABOOM! Teeheehee! And you have even bigger bombs?

video

[madpretender]

Bigger. I'm going to make the biggest one there ever was.

[At the very least he needs one that can destroy planets.]

[beneathbluerafters]

... You! You're the one with the enormous dog!

[ The enormous dog that Klarion and his cat have been avoiding the hell out of ever since he and Maximus showed up in the house, hello roomie! This is the creepy blue kid who hangs out in the basement, nice to meet you. ]

[madpretender]

And you're the one with the filthy cat. [Making friends with all his roomies.]
