[As the screen flickers to life, Kefka can be seen carefully prodding the Dreamberry, still not quite certain of the technology. As it appears to be working, though, he tilts his head and grins a little too widely

Get used to being bored. I mean it. When this place isn't busy screwing with your head, it's not busy, period.

[magitekmayhem]

I really must get a few new hobbies then. Especially since my head is hard to screw with, so I'll be even more likely to be bored...

[thecoolestsoul]

Point taken.

Judging by your make-up job there, it doesn't really look like you ever have a hard time entertaining yourself.

[magitekmayhem]

Painting all over myself can only entertain me for so long. At least with the limited options I have. I'd need more make-up, then, and then I'd get bored with that soon enough, too.

As I said, I get bored very easily. Haven't really got much concentration ability left.

[thecoolestsoul]

There's gotta be someone around here who has something in common with you, since we all seem to be a bunch of hopeless cases.

What did you do to entertain yourself before, anyway?

[magitekmayhem]

As far as I know, I am pretty unique. For which I'm sure the universe as a whole should be relieved. But yes, there must be people who share some of my interests, at least.

I did a lot of stuff, really. General mayhem, mostly. Didn't have much time to get bored before, though. There was always much to do when involved in running an empire.

[thecoolestsoul]

You ran an empire? Somehow I find that pretty hard to believe.

[magitekmayhem]

Ran it right off a cliff, yes. Or no, that was the emperor, not the empire. Sorry...

I didn't do the running on my own, but I was effectively second-in-command. Mostly, I helped keeping the empire running by removing ... "obstacles", if you catch my drift.

[thecoolestsoul]

Obstacles. Right.

If you killed the emperor, doesn't that make you a traitor? Obviously you had to have been second in command before you killed him, and I'm seriously hoping that doesn't mean you got bumped up a rank after you offed him. Normally, I think stuff like that is supposed to get you demoted.

Or, y'know, jailed.

[magitekmayhem]

A traitor? Certainly. But then, so was the emperor, and nobody seemed to care about that. He wasn't the emperor because people liked him, after all. He was the emperor because his army was scarier than anyone else's army was, and because he had people like me, who could fry his enemies at a distance. Anyway, he should have expected it, since both the others with similar power had already betrayed him, and they were the sane ones.

Of course, I'm sure the rest of the empire might have complained a little about me killing the emperor if they'd gotten the chance. Not so much because I kicked him off a floating island to his death as because they would rather have him as a ruler than me. Apparently, tyrants are more desirable rulers than crazy people.

However, they might have a problem doing anything about it, seeing as I have the power of the Warring Triad, much to their dismay, I might add, and that effectively makes me a god. Treachery doesn't really mean much after that.

[thecoolestsoul]

Uh, wow. If all that's true, I'm glad I didn't live wherever the heck you came from. Sounds like a pretty messed up place.

And you seem pretty non-chalant about all this stuff, too.

[magitekmayhem]

Oh, yes. Sure, I probably made it much worse, but I wasn't the one who experimented on babies, at least.

Regrets bring you nothing but an invitation to old memories to haunt you and make you miserable. Besides, why wouldn't I be? I had fun.

[thecoolestsoul]

[He would probably be a little more disgusted if he was sure Kefka was telling the truth, but as it stands, he sort of just thinks he's crazy.]

Um, good for you, then. Better than getting emo about it, I guess. What did you say your name was so I can tell Maka to stay far away from you?

[magitekmayhem]

The past is the past, after all, and dwelling on it is pointless. And boring.

My name? Kefka. Kefka Palazzo.

[thecoolestsoul]

Kefka. Got it.

See you around. Maybe.
