evildoorstop[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!

Date: 2012-09-05 10:34 pm (UTC)Going to be off the charts, are you? [I have no idea why Eggman even believes this.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-05 10:36 pm (UTC)Bwa ha ha! You'd better be prepared for a shock! [Just...not the kind Murray wants.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-05 10:41 pm (UTC)Oh ho ho! So should you. [Seriously. This will hurt.]

Date: 2012-09-05 10:52 pm (UTC)At last... [Huff.] Here we are at Eggmanland.
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-05 11:02 pm (UTC)'Eggmanland'? That's your evil lair name?
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-05 11:09 pm (UTC)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...]

Date: 2012-09-07 10:23 am (UTC)Ohhh ho ho ho ho ho! Now tell me it isn't terrifying.
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-07 08:19 pm (UTC)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!
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-07 08:26 pm (UTC)He'll just. Pick you right back up again like it's nothing.]
Maybe you're just not as charismatic as I am. Maybe if you were, everybody wouldn't find you so repulsive even here.
[And assuming you haven't bit Eggman's hand off, leading you over to a table with a complex looking doodad assembled on it. The machine has coiled wires coming from all kinds of places, as well as your usual evil science components - glass containers attached to tubes, tesla coils and electrodes...]
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-07 08:30 pm (UTC)Repulsion, terror. What difference does it make to their shrieks!
[Looks satisfyingly evil enough, but what does Murray know of science.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-07 08:36 pm (UTC)He plops the skull down on a little plate and will start attaching electrodes to his, er, skull, if there's no effort to stop him.]
To be truly feared is to command respect from those who fear you. That's where real power lies. A frightening visage won't get you that. You need charisma and charm, like me!

Date: 2012-09-07 08:40 pm (UTC)Hey, those are cold!
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-08 04:28 pm (UTC)Oh, stop being such a baby. [And when he's done, Eggman poises his index finger above a Big Red Button.] Alright, time to start concentrating on this evil thoughts! Get ready to unleash your crazy powers!

Date: 2012-09-11 11:24 pm (UTC)[And, almost immediately the machine starts. And I'm totally leaving you to decide how horrible that feels.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-11 11:32 pm (UTC)[Horrible? Yes. Yes indeed.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-13 01:36 am (UTC)[Eggman's just grinning and congratulating himself a little more while Murray is being zapped with all manner of energies and electricity.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-09-13 02:02 am (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2012-09-13 11:27 pm (UTC)I think that should be enough to get an accurate reading. Now let me see.
[He turns his attention to a meter on the wall, which ranges from Wet Lettuce to Death Egg. The needle slooooowly crawls its way up the display and eventually settles on Limping Flicky. Eggman just glares at it for a moment.]

Date: 2012-09-13 11:35 pm (UTC)[Before getting demanding.]
Well?
