evildoorstop | [Video/Voice] Wishes and Bodies

[Murray is bothered. Of course he would never admit this, but the thing is, the real crutch of the matter is, he'd really gotten used to being a disembodied skull. Sure, it had its problems - lack of mobility being at the top of the list. But, really, a skull was scarier than some typical seen-it-already skeleton. And, for a skull, he's accomplished a lot.

And yet. And yet, he experienced a body again. The power of robotics, while far beyond his understanding had been at his bony fingertips, figuratively speaking of course. And it had been marvelous!

Sure it could be fun to ride in someone's pockets. And there were certainly some far cleaner pockets in Luceti, but to move again! To stalk across the land spreading mayhem and terror.]

I'm sure some of you feeble mortals have wishes you want granted. How do you go about doing such things?

[Later after some thought, he remembers a certain round doctor who he once spoke to and later him bragging about robotics or some such.]

[Filtered to Eggman 1% (It was only sheer luck he managed even that one percent.)]

Eggman! I want to talk to you!

I won't have to if you make me new ones!

What? Oh! Oh, yes! Of course! New legs! Precisely! And they'll be as reliable and athletic as my very own!

Skinny?

What?

Your legs! They're so skinny! I need powerful legs to stride upon!

Nonsense! [Eggman might just grip Murray a bit tighter in his hand at that remark.] You couldn't wish for legs more muscular than these!

I could. And more! Multiple muscular legs! [Just digging his own grave a bit.]

You'll get as many muscular legs as I give you and be grateful for it! [Young man!]

You'll get my appreciation.

Well, you'd better appreciate it, because I'll be slaving over a workbench all day for you.

Oh! Here we are.

Bwa ha ha! Finally!

Don't get too excited. [Eggman enters the community building.] There's several fights of stairs to go yet.

Soon, Luceti will know true fear. The forces of evil shall applaud as I stride, truly stride! Across the land spreading terror, mayhem! The tales will spread from generation to generation of the horror that is Murray!

[He'll just be monologuing his way up the those many flights of stairs.]

Ho ho ho! Yes! The robot I build using your unlimited energy will strike terror into some hearts, alright! I can hardly wait to test your mettle with my new voodoo-o-meter!

If you think it can handle it.

[Another flight of stairs. Eggman is in such danger of getting fit living up here.]

Going to be off the charts, are you? [I have no idea why Eggman even believes this.]

[No! That can't happen to him!]

Bwa ha ha! You'd better be prepared for a shock! [Just...not the kind Murray wants.]

[It's okay, he's been eating extra cake to make up for it.]

Oh ho ho! So should you. [Seriously. This will hurt.]

I'm prepared for the worst. I am the worst!

[A time skip is in order. Seriously. Eggman reaches his floor, and by this point he's quite tired. Not to mention sweaty. Murray is lucky that Eggman is wearing gloves, or he'd be all covered in Eggman sweat. Still, Eggman casually uses his Murray holding hand to wipe his brow as he approaches his apartment door.]

At last... [Huff.] Here we are at Eggmanland.

[Disgusting! Murray snaps a bit at the close encounter with Eggman's head.]

'Eggmanland'? That's your evil lair name?

[Eggman glares at the skull as he opens his door. Do not mock the glory of Eggmanland.]

Eggmanland is the name of my glorious empire back on Earth. Think of this as but an embassy dedicated to its magnificence.

[But Murray is right. Eggman hasn't named his lair yet...]

It's not very terrifying.

Isn't it? [Eggman grins at Murray evilly.] When people hear the name Doctor Eggman, it sends a shiver down their spine. When they see my face broadcast on television, they dare not even look at the screen! The threat of the Eggman Empire has sent countless souls fleeing for their lives, attracted the attention of every military force in the world... [He places Murray on a small table in his workshop, the main room of the apartment. He continues his speech with bombastic arm gestures.] Not to mention all of the world's greatest heroes, all gathering to stop Eggmanland from ever becoming a world power.

Ohhh ho ho ho ho ho! Now tell me it isn't terrifying.

Bwa ha ha! That sounds magnificent. But how does it hold up here?

I can scare anyone with a mere look! The sight of my terrible visage is enough to send chills down anyone's spine. My terror comes with me wherever I go!
