[A new face! And he's not happy. It's not that he's freaking out or furious or anything just... He's so done.]

Y'know, this was cute for about a minute or two. And I gotta hand it to you: This is one of the more creative kidnapping plots I've ever seen. So Kudos for that. I can tell you put a lotta work in it, baby!

The branding thing, though? If that was supposed to be funny, I am not laughing. Listen, you've got one hour to undo this weird little fairytale ransom of yours, or... well. Let's just say things ain't gonna turn out good for you. Trust me, you'd rather be dealin' with me than my bosses. This ain't gonna fly with them.

Oh, and one more thing? Work on your themeing. Whether you're goin' the hero route or villain, I don't really care... But this whole unicorn torture thing is about as intimidating as a baby butterfly.

Anyway, call back. It's in your best interests.

So what sort of business are you in that you expect to be kidnapped and turned into a unicorn? Inquiring minds want to know.

[got_style]

Evil genius, mad scientist, super villain, yatta yatta.. Though these kinda things don't happen to me, usually it's the other way around.

But I figure that hey, maybe some jealous pony-themed mad scientist coulda done this! Especially if they were trying to humiliate me!

Joke's on them though, I always look good.

[bluesuit_hoofy]

[Blink.] Usually I'm the one telling someone he's that sort of thing. I have to say, I admire your self awareness if nothing else.

Baby, if I didn't have a sense of humor about it, I wouldn't be able to do what I do. If you take yourself too seriously with this job you're just gonna wear yourself out!

[bluesuit_hoofy]

And other people? Do they take you seriously? [Or is this another Zetta?]

[got_style]

Most people don't know, actually. My boss is keeping the whole villain thing a secret, so he can pass as a lovable gazillionaire philanthropist. And lord knows he doesn't take me seriously.

But who knows, maybe one of these days I'll get the recognition I deserve.. Till then, I can just get by on the knowledge that I'm the best there is!

[A low-key Zetta at most.]

[bluesuit_hoofy]

Alright, we're going to have to clarify what we mean here by 'villain.' Are you now or have you ever been involved in an attempt to exterminate the human race in favor of your insectoid overlords? Or potato-shaped overlords, that's also an option.

Now why on earth would I ever want any of that? I just build things. Robots, gadgets, weapons... Whatever the boss wants. Or- since I suppose I'm goin' freelance now, it'll be whatever the highest bidder wants!

[bluesuit_hoofy]

Money, most likely, or a grab for power. You know, you could use that brain of yours for the betterment of society. Nothing says you have to sell out to whatever git wants to conquer the place next.

[Viceroy fails to hold back a chortle.]

First off- you can't get much money or power when the whole world's enslaved! 'Sides, that just screams of "horrific backfiring". It's much easier to give them what they want, and do the whole villain thing on the side.

Second.. Those gits might not always have the best ideas, but they sure pay well.

[bluesuit_hoofy]

And what are you going to spend money on here? Hooficures?

[So unimpressed right now.]

[got_style]

Why not? Nothing wrong with a little self-care!

But really I'm just interested in having some funding for my work. The more money I have, the more I can build!

[bluesuit_hoofy]

You and B --

[And he abruptly shuts up. Nope, not giving the mad scientist the name of the resident mad gunsmith.]

Well, the spa is lovely. If you do anything to harm anyone here, though, you're not getting a chance to enjoy it.

[got_style]

[He rolls his eyes.]

Fine, fine! You don't need to worry about me. I'm not gonna hurt anypony. But I can't make any promises for helping 'em all the time, either.

[bluesuit_hoofy]

I'll take what I can get. See that you don't. [And as far as Andrew's concerned, he's said all that he needs to.]
