badfic_manor | Fourteenth Act // [Video] - No longer we'll sing through the day, of the lives we lost and reclaimed

[Kuja appears on the feed, tossing his hair over his shoulder and making a melodramatic sigh. Everything going on this week was ridiculous. Normally he enjoyed a bit of chaos for the sake of entertainment, but.. this was nothing short of a droll performance with over-rated actors and actresses who hadn't a clue what they were doing.]

Has it occurred to none of you fools that, perchance if you'd asked for my assistance, I could have saved all those who have died so far? You would have had your answers. You ask for anyone with information to come forward - How about you simpletons all swallow that damn pride and talk to one another? You're beginning to make me doubt your supposed intelligence. Or shall I continue insulting what little you all seem to possess between you?

Too many cooks spoil the broth and that's apparent here. Your petty pride complexes are making this entire 'case' counter productive and making things easier for the killer to strike again. Why else did Sheldon and Oz unnecessarily die? Because you weren't quick enough to work together after the first death. Your incompetence is nothing short of unspeakable.

[The feed cuts out.]

Hmm? [Oh it was him.]

Not in the slightest, I just can't find amusement from watching simpletons prance around trying to enforce order upon obvious chaos. It's as though they're not even trying.

Are you surprised?

Hah, it would be a pleasure I sadly can't express to say I was.

Someone with as much power as you shouldn't rely on the lesser sorts to make rational decisions.

[Not that he's...bitter about the power you have, Kuja.]

[He lets out a huff. Oh, he knew he shouldn't, but whilst the 'justice system' was in place he had to.]

Of course not, it's that they're so foolish to believe they have any control over this when they don't. Delusions of grandeur is a hideous complex.

Hm. Are you going to do anything about it?

[Kuja laughs, genuinely amused by his comment.]

I don't care that much about the consequences~ For all I care the entire Manor can burn.

You won't use this opportunity to take control?

[Zarbon would try himself...but he figures Kuja won't stand for that. Might as well plant the idea in someone else's mind.]

Oh, I could.

[It had been his plan on Gaia. Become the ruler so that people could see him for how wonderous he really was. Get the respect that he never recieved from Garland. Prove himself better than Zidane.]

Although, I'd really rather not rule over such a hideously tasteless environment. No amount of power will stop the interference of that hack writer. Nor should I wish to become associated with such a pitiful brat.

"Hideous" is certainly right. There's little in the way of beauty in this place.

There's little of anything I desire here. Ruling over my home world, despite how backwater it is, is far more appealing.
