VV4, 42 - New Minions

So, what would a new Jacques look like? Dylan asked as he and Jack meandered back to his mansion.

A secretary in a pencil skirt, Jack answered. But with the same proportions as a regular Jacques.

Dylan snorted a laugh. With the sexy glasses look?

Oh so your first though of a Jacques in a pencil skirt is that its sexy? Jack ribbed.

What? No, Dylan backpedaled. I thought thats what you were going for? I was only trying to complete the look.

Sure you were, Jack teased.

Besides. A Jacques in a pencil skirt wouldnt be sexy, Dylan said. And itd rip it in half the minute anything crazy happened.

Just a secretary then, Jack shrugged.

No, Dylan said with a shake of his head. That sounds more like Dextra than Dr. Zlo. Besides, I already have something of a theme.

Oh? Jack asked.

High society is the idea, Dylan said. Cass is a butler, Mabel an old socialite, Brunhilde is a maid, Quartet is something like a butlers apprentice maybe? The Jacques are all just household staff.

Then why not use an Egghead for the management portion? Jack asked.

Dylan thought about it. I could, but its more fun to have a new minion, dont you think?

Oh definitely, Jack said.

I guess this time the minion is something of a personal assistant, Dylan said.

I dont think you can make them a Jacques then, can you? Jack asked. Personal assistants tend to only be the one.

Maybe Ill just stick with and Egghead then, Dylan said.

Well, you can think about it some more while I get some work done, Jack said. Then I can help you get the materials for whatever you decide.

As your character? Dylan asked.

Oh no, I got a new idea in mind, Jack answered. I think youre personally going to love it.

Oh come on, you cant just tease me like that, Dylan said. Not without a hint.

Jack smirked. Nope, youll just have to wait and see.

Dylan huffed. Fine then, keep your secrets.

I will, thank you very much, Jack laughed.

The two walked into Dr. Zlos mansion and down into his laboratory.

Cass! Dr. Zlo shouted. I have a guest over. Be sure we arent interrupted!

You got it, boss! Cass answered.

He read the description out to Jack.

Why give him that bit at the end? Jack asked.

One, it sounds funny. And two, I wanted to make sure they had something to do if I was away, Dylan answered.

Aw, look at you, caring for your virtual minions, Jack cooed.

Shh, Dylan said. Dont let them hear you. Dr. Zlo isnt someone who cares for his minions.

Haha, alright you big softy, Jack answered.

Dylan just rolled his eyes. But Jack was right. Hed started to think of the minions differently after losing Mabel the first time. He hadnt even followed through on his threats to Quartet for insubordination, and Dylan knew for a fact that the minion hadnt done his due diligence when it came to his duties.

So most of the materials are clothes, Dylan said. Which is giving me an idea.

Let me guess, is Dr. Zlo about to rob some clothing stores? Jack asked.

Dylan smiled. Better, I think we need to show the world what true fashion looks like.

The player marched up the stairs. Cass!

Yeah, boss? the butler said as he appeared by his side.

I need you to fire up the fabricators. I have a new scheme in mind! One so fiendishly devious the heroes wont know what to do!

You got it, boss! Cass answered. What do you want made?

Make as many of my suits as you can! That includes the top hat, monocle, and tie! Dr. Zlo turned with a flourish. Yes, truly a devious plan. Tell me, Cass, why do you think the heroes have such an easy time thwarting my plans?

Well boss Cass started.

Its because I am the only one with a sense of fashion! Dr. Zlo exclaimed. While the ignorant masses plod around in their jeans, and sweatpants I lord over them with my superior senses! But because of this, the heroes are instantly able to spot me! Well, no longer! Once we replace all the clothing in stores with my own, the heroes will be unable to tell me apart from the masses, thus ensuring my victory!

Wow, boss! Cass said. And here I thought it was because you always underestimated everyone.

Dr. Zlo shot Cass a look. Just get to creating.

You got it, boss! Cass answered.

Dr. Zlo stomped back down the stairs into Jacks awaiting smile.

I take it you like the idea? Dylan asked.

I love the idea, Jack laughed. And its the perfect idea for me to introduce my new villainous character.

Dylan laughed and threw his hands wide. Well, then, let us be off!

Hold your horses, Jack said. Im not quite done with all these trackers.

Ah, whoops, Dylan said. Then Ill go get the Zlomobile ready for departure and leave you to it.

Sounds good, Jack said. This wont take much longer. Then I can show you my new character.

Cant wait, Dylan laughed.
