ϟ First Plan

[notpredictable]

Megamind is completely unimpressed with the lack of technology this place has to offer.

“Primitive, that’s what this is - hardly an ounce of scrap metal to work with.” He’s grumbling under his breath as he prowls the grounds, face twisted into a weary and tired expression. He hadn’t slept well since arrival - not that he slept much to begin with

...the doctor seemed perfectly nice to me.

[Bryn wonders what he observed to consider Sycora suspicious.]

[Audio]

[notpredictable]

[Ah, voice functions. Now isn't this something.]

Niceness is not indicative of or correlate directly to being trustworthy, my dear.

[Audio]

[brynkitten]

[Blink. Bryn goes silent a moment.]

It isn't a guarantee of being trustworthy, but it could be indicative...has she done or said something to make you suspect something?

[Audio]

[notpredictable]

[Clever girl, whoever she might be.]

She is staff and therefore suspect. [Along with this one herself. But, he plows onward.]

Has she done something wholly selfless that has garnered your immediate trust and good faith? Besides simply being ‘nice’, I mean.

[Audio]

[brynkitten]

Suspect of what?

[Bryn thinks back to her conversation with Sycora.]

She was open and honest with her answers to my questions but...I suppose only so much can be interpreted from body language.

[Thanks a lot Megamind. Planting seeds of doubt into Bryn's mind.]

[Audio]

[notpredictable]

Oh, this and that - kidnapping, for starters. [He sounds miffed about that. *He* is the one that does the kidnapping, thankyouverymuch.]

Unless you want to be here.

[Which he DOESN'T.

His voice smooths out.]

Lies can be very pretty, or so I'm told.

[Audio]

[brynkitten]

[Bryn pauses at that word. Kidnapping. Surely they had been saved, not kidnapped. Why would they let them wander free and left to their own devices if they were prisoners?]

I...I don't know.

[She can't really say one way or the other, Megamind. It's lovely and beautiful and she is, apparently, away from any immediate threat from her parents or well, the end of existence.

On the other hand, it scares her to realize how quickly trusting she'd been, and how it was entirely too soon to tell whether this place was as safe as it seemed.]

[Audio]

[notpredictable]

[Heh. Instilling ribbons of doubt and tendrils of apprehension. He's good at being a jerk.]

That's something you might want to figure out. A glorified prison is still just that - a prison.

[And he is intimately familiar with prisons.]
