I AM EVIL, STOP LAUGHING!

[isthatashortjoke]

Characters: Veigar and you!
Setting: Dorm Floor
Format: Starting with prose, anything is game afterwards.
Summary: The Tower now has a very volatile Yordle!
Warnings: Depends, anything's possible with this shorty.

Veigar slowly opened his eyes and frowned, the pounding in his head a simple nuisance, nothing he hadn't experienced before. He struggled during the paralysis, wondering which of the blasted Champions had managed to sneak up on him. Cass? Jax? Taric? Amumu? No, impossible! He was Veigar after all, he'd be the one getting the jump on them!

Finally he was able to move and he quickly took a glance around, searching for whoever had brought him here. He had a few choice words to have with them and all of them ended in PAIN. That's when he decided that he'd read over the letters, after all, no use running around flinging spells just yet. Going over them a few times, the Yordle remained silent, looking around every so often as he re-read them over and over again, finally setting them down and grabbing his belongings from his trunk. Once he finished placing his final gauntlet on, he raised an angry frist at his captors and raw power crackled around it.

"MY WORLD CANNOT BE DESTROYED! I'M THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO DECIDED WHEN AND HOW IT'LL BE DESTORYED! ME! THE GREAT VEIGAR! NOT YOU!"

Well, that was one way of making it known you had arrived.

"Quite a way to make an entrance. Though I'm afraid you won't grab anyone's attention like that."

Fado was standing in the dormitory hallway and now peaking in, grinning and resting the bow of his violin lightly on the strings as if he were about to play it.

[isthatashortjoke]

What, where, when?! Where did that come from?!

Veigar turned quickly on his heel and pointed at the newcomer.

"YOU! I demand to know what is the meaning of this farce! Is it true what these papers say?!" he shakes them furiously at him as if it'll make the point clear as day!

[lookmanostrings]

Fado simply stared forward with a smile, removing his bow from the violin strings and waving it in a dismissive fashion.

"No one's really sure; in my experience, the world has been destroyed in some sense, though such destruction is rarely permanent." A shrug~ "To this point, who's to confirm the veracity of what any of those in charge say? Certainly not I~"

[isthatashortjoke]

Veigar pondered what the strange man said, stroking his shadowed chin lightly in thought.

"I see... So from what you said I assume you're not a native to this place? Where you 'saved' as well?"

As if Veigar needs any saving!

[lookmanostrings]

"I'm not sure anyone is truly 'native' to such an artificial inhabitant." He chimed. Now he was just being ridiculous though.

"But indeed, I was 'saved,' as well as many others here. And you too, I take it!"

[isthatashortjoke]

"Artificial? Whatever do you mean?" Surely there was a world out there wasn't there? Or was this a created world? He really hadn't had a chance to explore just yet.

[lookmanostrings]

"I pride myself in a very close connection to the natural world--" He tapped his bow on his strings again as he spoke, "--and I can assure you, this place is not natural. It is-- disconnected."

[isthatashortjoke]

"Disconnected..." Veigar repeated as he looked off in thought.

Where had he ended up in? This is hardly what he would have expected the Void to be, or any of the other places that you'd read about in thesis from the Grand Library.

He turned back to the person speaking to him and narrowed his eyes. "So tell me, what do you know about this place?"

[lookmanostrings]

"I know it is possessed by some rather unscrupulous fellows; they profess they have saved us from the destruction of our worlds, but many who dwell here have been subjected to unnatural cruelties at their bidding. I have witnessed such things first hand."

He frowned and gave a small shrug. "I cannot say for certain the true state of our worlds, but as I stated before-- this place is very unnatural."

[isthatashortjoke]

"Isn't that always the case..." Veigar replied bitterly more to himself than the odd person he'd met.

Ending up in another location, quite possibly a prison was far, far on the list of things Veigar didn't want. He'd hate to go through certain things again and this wouldn't be the start of it.

He frowned, looking over at the person, "Unnatural or not, they won't be doing anything to me! I'll make sure to teach them a lesson!"

[lookmanostrings]

Fado didn't bat an eye when Veigar seemed to himself, though he did give a quirk of an eyebrow in spite of his perpetual smile.

"Your spirit is commendable, though from the sound of things you'll be rushing into a bigger mess than you're prepared for. I have born witness to what these administrators can do, and many a great men have tried and failed to 'teach them a lesson.'"

[isthatashortjoke]

Veigar simply grinned, "Even I am no fool to do such a thing. No matter how powerful someone is, there's always someone bigger and stronger. It's the way things go in the cosmos! But I'll be there to assist in their downfall and rid myself of this place! Of that I'm certain!"

[lookmanostrings]

"Admirable! I suppose." To be honest, this guy kind of reminded him of a more malicious Mido or something, far more bark than bite.

"Though if there is always someone more powerful, then surely it is not so far a jump to say there is easily someone more powerful than yourself?"

[isthatashortjoke]

"Ha! AHAHAHAHAHA! More powerful than ME?! That's ridiculous! The idea itself is just silly! I didn't become to be feared for no reason! I am VEIGAR! Master of raw power and cosmic energies! I bring the pain!"

Someone's just a bit full of themselves. Just a bit.

However, his words did have heavy backing behind.

[lookmanostrings]

"Veigar is not very terrifying," He gave a twirl of his bow in dismissal. "Especially when you deliver such statements that directly contradict yourself. Raw power will only get you so far after all, without the wisdom and courage to back it up."

[isthatashortjoke]

"Not very terrifying?! NOT VERY TERRIFYING?! My very name strikes fear into the hearts of all of Runeterra! Wisdom and courage? Overwhelming power envelops everything!" he bellowed with certainty!

[lookmanostrings]

Geez this guy was loud.

"And yet here I stand without a tremble-- I have seen things far more terrifying than you, my friend." He held his chin thoughtfully for a moment.

"Or at least, who came off far more terrifying! Indeed, it is those that know how to properly exploit all three sides of the paradigm that would truly strike fear in the hearts of those around them.

[isthatashortjoke]

"Only because you haven't been dematerialized yet, simply out of the kindness or lack of interest of my being." Because really, he didn't waste his time when he had more important matters to think about. Like who the hell kidnapped him.

"That lack of judgement seems to run around this place, things are different wherever you go and this place isn't much different."

[imperialsun]

Awww, that looked like a tiny demon. Adorable. Naoya's nightmares had been going on for three days, leaving him in a state of paranoia, especially without the ability to use his Persona during the day, but he continued to press on. There was evident blackness under his eyes, however. So a small guy like him almost felt welcome. He gave him a small wave.

"Hello."

[isthatashortjoke]

"WHAT?!"

...

"Oh, greetings."

Wait a minute.

"Are you one of the ones who work here?" Veigar inquired, cause if so... he better be ready for pain!

[imperialsun]

"No." Did he even look like he worked here. He gave the small demon-looking guy a look thinking about his options...and grins.

"Do you usually work along? We could team up, if you want."

[isthatashortjoke]

[[+1 Angry]]

This was frustrating, not only could he not get answers by whatever brought him here, but now whoever this was was asking to team up?!

Okay, so that wasn't such a bad thing considering he worked better in teams but still!

"I only team up with the strong! I hate carrying weaklings! If you want to team up with The Great Veigar! You have to show some skill!"

[imperialsun]

Right! He has an answer, and it was time to switch strategies, least they started a full brawl here. Unconsciously, he had his Personas ready...

"Skill? I already know what I'm capable of, but I haven't see you do anything. What makes you so certain about what you can do?" As he said this, Naoya looked incredibly confident in himself. It was practically radiating from him.

[isthatashortjoke]

[[Angry +1]]

"WHAT?! I can do MANY things! I am the MASTER OF RAW POWER!" he bellowed raising a crackling fist into the air, eyes narrowed into fiery slits.

"You also don't seem the type to walk up and proclaim their greatness, so I'm inclined to believe you are bluffing!" Veigar raised an eyebrow, looking him up and down.

"Although... you might have potential simply for striding up to ME and claiming such a ridiculous offense!"

Naoto spun his gun around, before answering again. Had you ever seen a gun before? He...had no idea, but he was going to try anyway. He gave Veigar a smile.

"I am a Persona user with the ability to control the thousands of masks that live inside our souls. If you join my group, it could be easier to fight off the monsters that are in this tower!"

[isthatashortjoke]

Guns where good tools, having guns on your team usually was a good thing! If the users were skilled, like Miss Fortune, or Caitlin. Maybe this 'Persona user' could be of use...

"If anything you'd want me to join your group! Anyone with the all powerful Veigar on their side is bound to be victorious!"

[[Eager +1]]

oh they're roomies HAHAHA...

[lordoffabulous]

[ Your roommate, bro, he is rolling his eyes so much. SO not in the mood for this, nope.

Annoyed Demon Lord is annoyed. ]

MUST you scream so early? Yes, yes, we get it, you're going to kill them. I had the same reaction, but screaming and annoying us all isn't going to help any, we've no idea how to locate our kidnappers yet, anyway.

oh lords what have we wrought...

[isthatashortjoke]

[This... person! Yes... another being! And it seems another who isn't pleased with this... whatever this is!]

Are they deaf then? Captured by beings that are handicapped! How lowly of them...

You... Have you been here long?

I DON'T... KNOW???

[lordoffabulous]

[ ... He has a feeling this is going to be a long day. Got a real winner here, doesn't he. ]

They aren't, they're just elusive.

[ He actually has to think about how long he's been here, though. It takes him a minute, before he answers that one. ]

A little over three months, I believe, though some have been here longer.

The tower is dooooomed dooooomed!

[isthatashortjoke]

Three months?! And some have been here longer?!

This doesn't please me! Not one bit! I have places to be, champions to kill, power to gain!

[Best. Roommate.]
