blog #001 -- there's this one song from SNL...

[statusunquo]

Okay... Ahem!  Well, this won't be too bad.  I think.

So I guess "Dr. Horrible's Blog On A Boat" has kind of a ring to it.  It'll make for a cool featurette at any rate since... Some viewers were complaining about the material in my previous entries...  [he trails off, talking to himself.]  Complaining about my blog?  I just-- almost-- robbed a bank

Evil League of Evil..? Is that a joke, or... you know, never mind. Riding right on past that.

You'll probably be here a lot longer than you're anticipating... I've been told this boat has been sailing for at least a year.

[statusunquo]

It'snotajokeatall. [muttermutter, what is with these people?]

...Anyway, yeah. I've kind of already heard the bad news.

But I mean, that can't be true, can it? A boat's got to make stops somewhere for food, and water, and... [he trails off thoughtfully. granted, he doesn't know a lot about boats. they aren't exactly required knowledge for building a stun ray.]

[ixgideonxi]

I unfortunately don't know any more than you do. Apparently, I've been here for months, but... I only remember showing up a little bit ago. Someone told me I was supposed to be older than I am now, or something.

... Case in point, everything on this boat is weird as hell.

[statusunquo]

That much is obvious.

So uh, what's your name? Since I'm going to be here a long time and all... And finding a way off this boat.

[talkback_stein]

I bet the Avengers stopped you.

[statusunquo]

"The Avengers?"

Kid, I've only got one nemesis. And his name is nowhere near as cool as that sounds.

[talkback_stein]

So you're like... a lame bad guy?

i loled

[statusunquo]

What? No! That's not what I said at all--

Look, I'm on my way to becoming the biggest supervillain since the Thoroughbred of Sin himself. How is that lame?

[farfairersoul]

...Are you actually expecting to be taken seriously by anyone over the age of five?

[Razer is thirty-two. Mentally. For the moment he's physically a sixteen-year-old, so have fun dealing with an extremely verbose, hyper-manipulative teenager with a freaking weird accent.]

Your pseudonym is laughable at best, and the fact that you feel the need to submit an application to an organized league in order to be considered some form of antagonist is just pathetic. I will never in my life understand what makes you roundears think you're so amazing when the species produces characters like you.

[He's assuming Billy's human, anyway. It is the default here.]

[statusunquo]

[there is a long silence.]

...Pfff. Y-your accent--

--I-I mean, I'm sorry. Anyway, uh, dude. I've had my fair share of letters from guys like you. This is nothing new. Whatever you say, I'm still Dr. Horrible, and I've got a PhD in horribleness.

[pause.] I was going to use that for my next blog post, but um. Kind of fit there.

[farfairersoul]

...That isn't even a word.

Mar above, how in the world do any of you people survive to adulthood?

[statusunquo]

What? It totally is, I'm-- whatever, that's beside the point.

Look, I'm pretty resilient. In more ways than one. It's... Sort of a job requirement. So what do you mean by "you people?"

[shenghuanzhe]

Hey there. I'm First Mate Kage and you're on the Elegante. Until we get there, all you gotta do is sit back and relax, awright? We got your weapons, so you don't gotta worry about them. If you got any other questions, need a special diet, just ask myself or any other crew member.

Welcome aboard.

[statusunquo]

"Don't worry?" Dude, it's a little late for that.

So when do they start working again? And when exactly do I get to talk with this Captain person?

[shenghuanzhe]

When do what start workin', man? And the Captain is a great man, so he's really busy. As First Mate, I can answer any questions y'might have.

[statusunquo]

My... Equipment. My things, all of it! [a rapping sound. poor Freeze Ray.]

A great man, huh? [snort.] Well then, um. Why am I here? Where's this "there" that we're getting to?

[meinwwherz]

No banks here, friend.

[Herz is a little wary; he's had plenty of run ins with people who were most definitely deserving of the title 'evil'. He's not sure about this guy, though...

Mostly, he just thinks he could be mentally ill.

The middle-aged man does his best to sound approachable, all the same.]

Everything's free, and there's plenty to go around.

[statusunquo]

--oh.

[...well. he really can't argue with that. but the Doc can't help but feel a nagging, unfulfilled space where his TAKE IT ALL UPSET THE BALANCE OF POWER BLOW UP PARKING METERS plans would normally have settled.]

Um. Well then... You can disregard most of that. For now. Until I find something else wrong with this boat.

[meinwwherz]

Wrong with the boat?

Where should I start?
