mysticcage | It was a wicked and wild wind

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE, I SUPPOSE.

~~I'M GOOD, THANKS.~~

/YOU WISH! DO YOU REALLY THINK SHE'D IDOLIZE - OR EVEN BEFRIEND - SOMEONE LIKE ME? I CONSCIOUSLY REPRESENT EVERYTHING SHE HATES.
SAME DIFFERENCE. WHICH IS WHY WE MUST STRIKE NOW, BEFORE SHE CAN TURN THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS AGAINST US.
THAT THING MADE MY EARS BURN. SERIOUSLY.
VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

Clovis: That just means that Clovis didn't inherit their traits. He was a disappointment to them, so he became a brooding artist.
Suzaku: OF COURSE. WE DESERVE IT.
Charles: First let me finish Atlas Shrugged. Assuming I ever do.
Schneizel: DETAILS, DETAILS.
Euphemia: It's kind of terrifying how similar they are.
C.C.: True say. We'll stick with architecture, then.
Tamaki: SERIOUSLY.
Rolo: ...Uh. I am sure he does. /awkward turtles

BEHOLD.

I'M GLAD I'M NOT ALONE.

"Great minds"? AHAHAHA.

~~ARE YOU SURE?~~

/YOU'RE STILL STUCK WITH HER
ADORABLE. ASYLUM. MEH. I HEAR THEY'RE JUST AS EASY TO BRAINWASH.
AND IN THE END, CAN ANYONE REALLY UNDERSTAND GANON?
THAT KID WAS THERE TODAY. NOT WEARING IT. 8(

Clovis: I am no longer acknowledging any of your statements pertaining to Clovis.
Suzaku: WE WORKED HARD TO EARN OUR POSITION.
Charles: Over 1000 pages. Keep trying.
Schneizel: FINE, THEY CAN BE PARTYERS. I JUST DON'T REMEMBER THEM.
Euphemia: She is an easy target for her uncle.
C.C.: Lelouch seems more like an architecture guy, anyway.
Tamaki: Tamaki Xavier Donnigan, pfffft...
Rolo: I didn't mean it that way. /smacks

ARE YOU HAPPY, MR. SUPERMAN?

SERIOUSLY. GALT'S SPEECH IS JUST REPETITION GLORIFIED. IT'S RAND'S BIBLE.

"Great" is a relative term.

~~YES. VERY.~~

/WE'D KILL EACH OTHER IN A MATTER OF MINUTES
IT MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS CONVERSATION. IDIOTS. WE SHOULD BRAINWASH THEM FIRST.
I CAN! SO LONG AS WE'RE DEALING WITH CANON!GANON AND NOT THE STUPID ONE FROM THE SHOW.
WHAT A LOSER.

Clovis: Fine, be that way.
Suzaku: YOU KNOW IT, I KNOW IT, AND AYN RAND SURE AS HELL KNOWS IT.
Charles: I'll do it eventually! /is only on page 150
Schneizel: They aren't all that important anyway. In retrospect, I guess his little gang works better: we can make Kanon into Jules Fougler the drama critic and Cecile into Lancelot Clokey. /shot
Euphemia: Oh, like you wouldn't believe.
C.C.: Agreed. Now that I think about it, in terms of architectural merit, Damocles is exactly like Cortlandt. OH WAIT, DOES THIS MEAN LELOUCH GETS TO DESIGN AND FLEIJA DAMOCLES?
Tamaki: It works! I'm sure he'd appreciate having that name.
Rolo: WELL, HOW WAS I TO KNOW?

OH LAWDY, FA, YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME. IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE YOUR EPIC ICONS TAKE UP HALF OF MY HARD-DRIVE.

RAND IS SOUNDING MORE LIKE A LOSER WITH EACH PASSING DAY.

True, true.

~~VERY WELL, THEN.~~

/YOU'RE IN HELL, SHE'LL JUST COME BACK TO LIFE
TRUE, THAT. IF WE FIND THEM IN TIME, THAT IS.
CANON!GANON MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. SHOW!GANON DOES NOT.
THEY'RE ALL EDWARD-WORSHIPPING LOSERS.

Clovis: I wouldn't be a bastard if I didn't crush your hopes and dreams, now would I?
Suzaku: I HOPE THAT AYN RAND + HELL PUN WASN'T INTENTIONAL.
Charles: You've a long way to go, my friend.
Schneizel: Cecile as Lancelot(ta) Clokey. I KIND OF LIKE IT. THE SURNAMES EVEN SOUND SIMILAR. /shot with you
Euphemia: "Uncle Schneizel". PFFFFFT.
C.C.: I'd probably just name the project Damocles and the dynamite pack FLEIJA for kicks. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.
Tamaki: He would really sound like an entrepreneur. Ambassador. WHATEVER HE WANTED TO BE.
Rolo: BECAUSE MY MIND ISN'T AS SICK AS THINE.

THEY ARE NOT EPIC. THEY'RE MOSTLY THINGS THAT AMUSE ME.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE, THEN WE'RE ALL SECRETLY RELATED TO HER.

You know it~

~~I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT.~~

/SO DOES THIS MEAN SATAN IS A RANDIST?
AT LEAST I CAN SAY, WITH SOME CONFIDENCE, THAT WE HAVE THE MOST RIDICULOUS CONVERSATIONS EVER. WE HAVE TO, OR ELSE THE UNIVERSE WILL ~~BE DESTROYED~~ BECOME RANDIAN.
I ADORE CANON!GANON. HE KICKS SO MUCH ASS IT ISN'T EVEN FUNNY.
OH MY. I WISH I COULD SAY YOU WERE WRONG, BUT YOU'RE REALLY, REALLY NOT.

Clovis: I should have known.
Suzaku: MAYBE IT WAS, AND MAYBE IT WASN'T.
Charles: Let's hope I finish it by... December.
Schneizel: AND IT WORKS, SINCE THE LANCELOT IS PARTLY HER BABY.
Euphemia: AWWW. That's adorable for all the wrong reasons.
C.C.: THAT WORKS. God, we're brilliant~
Tamaki: He would be unbelievably happy if that happened.
Rolo: HA. THAT'S A LIE AND WE ALL KNOW IT.

TOMATO, TOMAHTO~

GOOD THING I DON'T, OR MY MIND MIGHT IMPLODE.

...PFFFFT.

~~I HAVE IMAGES AND CLIPS LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. I PREPARED IT WELL IN ADVANCE JUST IN CASE YOU ANGERED ME.~~

/SATAN IS TECHNICALLY ALL THAT IS EVIL. SO YES.
THE MOST RIDICULOUS "HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A LEGITIMATE CONVERSATION BUT DECIDES NOT TO BE" CONVERSATIONS. BEING RANDIAN IS THE EQUIVALENT OF BEING DESTROYED. LIFE AS WE KNOW IT SHALL END!
CANON!GANON ROCKS. HE'S MY FAVORITE VILLAIN. BUT I WANT TO DIE EVERY TIME I HEAR SHOW!GANON. NO, JUST NO.
WHEN I BROUGHT IN A PICUTRE OF PATTINSON IN LITTLE ASHES, EVERYONE THOUGHT I 'SHOPPED IT AND REFUSED TO BELIEVE ME. THEN I GOOGLED IT AND THEY ALL WENT HOME CRYING. /shot

Clovis: Even if you do know, I still refuse to acknowledge your statements.
Suzaku: OH SO IT WAS. TSK TSK.
Charles: HURRY UP, I'M ONLY 90 PAGES AWAY FROM FINISHING THE FOUNTAINHEAD.
Schneizel: ...SCHNEIZEL x CECILE + LANCELOT FAMILY WHUT. DAMN YOU.
Euphemia: Especially if you've read The Company by Robert Litell. That's hwen it gets really wrong.
C.C.: United, nothing can stand in our way!
Tamaki: He'd be a leading entrepreneur/ambassador, regardless of his actual skill in the field.
Rolo: OH HO HO~ NOT REALLY, PERVERTY MCPERVERT.

8|

MAYBE WE ALL COME FROM THE SAME MONKEY.

~~YOU SELF-RIGHTEOUS BASTARD. AH WELL, I THINK THE GLORY OF THE GEASSHEAD WILL PROTECT ME, AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE.~~

/CURSE YOU AND YOUR LOGIC.
EXACTLY. AND I WOULDN'T HAVE THEM ANY OTHER WAY. /smacked YOU ARE SO RIGHT. WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. CANON!GANON ROCKS MY WORLD... SO TO SPEAK.
I CAN BELIEVE THAT.

Suzaku: WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT AGAIN?
Charles: HOO BOY. I NEVER STOOD A CHANCE.
Schneizel: DON'T FORGET ABOUT KANON.
Euphemia: In that case, I'm glad I haven't.
C.C.: We are the most powerful force known to humankind!
Tamaki: In a Randian world? You know it!
Rolo: SICKO.

&hearts

I DON'T THINK AYN RAND WOULD AGREE WITH THAT, SO IT'S PROBABLY TRUE.

~~SO OUR OT3 IS PROTECTING YOU FROM THUNDERTHIGHS AND THE GEASSHEAD IS PROTECTING YOU FROM THE PIMP'S PRAYER.~~

/IT'S INFALLIBLE LOGIC. AND THAT'S WHY I HATE EVERYONE AT SCHOOL.
NO, I DEFINITELY WOULDN'T. THE FATE OF CIVILIZATION IS AT STAKE HERE! PEOPLE JUST DON'T REALIZE HOW SERIOUS THIS IS.
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS CRAZY EYES AS HE DESCENDS INTO THE SACRED REALM AND HOW HE'S ALL LIKE, "I'LL HAUNT YOUR DESCENDANTS!!" THAT ANTHROPOMORPHIC GREEN BOAR WITH A 20-TANK HELIUM VOICE WHO OCCASIONALLY RIDES ON CAPTURED UNICORNS IS JUST NOT MAKING THE CUT.
LITTLE ASHES IS ONLY SHOWING IN THREE THEATERS ACROSS THE U.S. YES, THAT'S JUST HOW MUCH IT SUCKS, PROBABLY.

Suzaku: That stupid hell + Rand pun you made. /smacks you
Charles: ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M BORROWING IT AND PROMISED MY FRIEND I'D GIVE IT BACK TO HER BY THE TIME SCHOOL GOT OUT.
Schneizel: ...Godfather of Lancelot + secret threesome member? THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CRACK PAIRING.
Euphemia: But it's about the CIA and disturbing Russian pedophiles. :(
C.C.: TOGETHER, WE CAN DEFEAT RAND!
Tamaki: Of course. It's a rule of thumb that if you have an extremely pretentious/exotic name, you're a moneymaking hero. And if you have a very simple name amongst pretentious names, you're the ideal man.
Rolo: YOU'RE THE BIGGER SICKO HERE.

Potato, Pohtato.

WE'RE ALL UNITED GAIZ. That's probably like exorcising her. Quick, gather your friends!

THUNDERTHIGHS - YES.
THE PIMP'S PRAYER - NOT SO MUCH. I'M NOT NEARLY AS INTIMIDATED BY THAT AS I AM BY YOU-KNOW-WHAT. BUT YES, YOU'RE GENERALLY CORRECT.

/SO EVERYONE AT YOUR BRITANNIAN SCHOOL IS A TOOL FOR ELLSWORTH TOOHEY? ...OH DEAR GOD, NOW OUR GEASSHEAD CROSSOVER MAKES EVEN MORE SENSE!
&hearts THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM. FOOLS.
EXACTLY! THAT'S WHY I DON'T CONSIDER THE SHOW TO BE CANON.
AHAHA. I WON'T MISS IT.

Suzaku: RIGHT. I knew that.
Charles: Also, The Fountainhead is 3/4 as long as Atlas Shrugged, so.
Schneizel: I LOVE IT. Leave it to Toohey~
Euphemia: Nevertheless~ And I'm sure The Philby Conspiracy is way better.
C.C.: ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!
Tamaki: Sometimes I wonder what Rand's books would have been like if she'd lived in the real world. They'd be a great deal less entertaining, but still...
Rolo: YOU WISH.

LET US CRUSH THE RANDIAN MENACE!

THUNDERTHIGHS - I THOUGHT SO.
THE PIMP'S PRAYER - IT'S FROM THE BOONDOCKS AND I WILL SOMEHOW FIND THE CLIP AND MAKE YOU WATCH IT.

/CONSIDERING HOW MY PRINCIPAL IS SCHNEIZEL, THIS IS A VERY EERIE COINCIDENCE. NEW THEORY: MY SCHOOL IS THE FREAKY ONE FROM DISCIPLE, SANS THE SLUTS. DON'T ASK HOW I KNOW THAT, JUST GO ALONG WITH IT.
O THOU~ I TOLD SOMEONE TO BURN THE FOUNTAINHEAD AND SHE DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME.
...I DID NOT ACCIDENTALLY READ THAT AS "I DON'T CONSIDER THE SHOW TO BE GANON". NO, I DID NOT.
WOULD YOU SEE THE NEXT BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN EVEN IF IT HAD ROBERT PATTINSON IN IT? TOUGHEST QUESTION OF THE DECADE. MAYBE THE CENTURY.

Suzaku: Suuuuuure you did.
Charles: True, true, but you're not being timed to read the damn thing. My friend pestered me every single day if I was done or not.
Schneizel: UH... Leave it to Maldini? NO.
Euphemia: I actually like The Company more, sans the creepy Russian pedophile. The Philby Conspiracy is almost like an extension to the information presented in The Company.
C.C.: ALL HAIL ~~BRITANNIA~~ ELLSWORTH AND FA.
Tamaki: If they were in the real world, then I wouldn't read them or mock them, would I?
Rolo: YOU'RE THE WORST INFLUENCE ON INNOCENT ~~VIRGINS~~ CHILDREN THAT I'VE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING.

CRASH A FRAT PARTY AND COMMAND EVERYONE TO CHANT, "WE'RE ALL UNITED!"
BRING ALCOHOL AND CONDOMS (OKAY, I'M A BIT SICKER) TO TEMPT THEM, OR WHATEVER IT IS FRAT BOYS LIKE.

~~DO. YOUR. WORST.~~

/SUDDENLY, EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE. EXCEPT FOR ROLO, BECAUSE ROLO NEVER MAKES SENSE.
THE FOOL! SHE'LL REGRET IT LATER.
AHAHAHA. ONLY YOU, FA. ONLY YOU.
THAT IS INDEED A QUESTION FOR THE AGES. THE SAD THING IS THAT PATTINSON WAS COMPLETELY IGNORED BEFORE HE WAS IN TWILIGHT: EVEN AFTER HE WAS CEDRIC DIGGORY IN THE FOURTH POTTER FILM, HE HAD ZERO FANS.

Suzaku: I DID. Sigh.
Charles: Even if I were, I doubt I'd finish it as quickly as you have. The length of the thing is as much of a deterrent as Rand's style of writing.
Euphemia: Whatever you say, Fa. Whatever you say.
C.C.: OHOHO. WE ARE CLEARLY GREATER THAN BRITANNIA.
Tamaki: Nope, they'd be far too mundane for that.
Rolo: AWW, I'M FLATTERED! THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR~

PERFECT! I'M SURE AYN RAND LOATHED FRATS AND ALL THEY STOOD FOR WITH A PASSION. BUT WORRY NOT: I HAVE A REPUTATION OF BEING - AHAHA - VERY GOOD AT GETTING FRAT BOYS ON-SIDE~

~~SOMEDAY, I WILL.~~

/ROLO, LIKE ANIME, DOESN'T HAVE TO.
THE UNIVERSE IS ALREADY DECOMPOSING AS WE SPEAK. FOR SOME REASON, I MANAGED TO SCREAM MY LUNGS OUT TODAY.
YES, ONLY ME.
HE WAS A GOOD CEDRIC DIGGORY, FROM WHAT I CAN RECALL. I FELT FOR HIS DEATH EVEN MORE THAN I DID FROM READING ABOUT IT. AND IN TWILIGHT, HE WAS JUST... NO.

Suzaku: THAT'S RIGHT.
Charles: If you look closely, most of the problems Dagny faces are pretty much the same.
Euphemia: I just like it because it happens to span a lot of years and viewpoints on the Cold War, including the viewpoints of the Soviets.
C.C.: DAMN STRAIGHT WE ARE. CHARLES AND HIS HAIR STAND NO CHANCE AGAINST US.
Tamaki: I wouldn't want to burn them, either.
Rolo: YOU TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE INFLUENCE YOU~

I THINK FRAT BOYS PRETTY MUCH FALL FOR ANYTHING THAT VAGUELY RESEMBLES A "KUMBAYA" GATHERING. LITTLE DO THEY REALIZE THEY ARE EXORCISING THE ONE BESIDE THE DEVIL...

~~I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. ONLY NOT.~~

/TRUE SAY.
OH? DO TELL, FA~
YES, HE DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB. HE WASN'T AS MUCH OF AN ASS AS HE WAS IN THE BOOK. AS FOR TWATLIGHT, WELL... THE LESS SAID, THE BETTER.

Charles: Yeah, I can believe it. I'm still mourning the lack of a Toohey-esque counterpart: from what I've seen, Dagny and co. have to compete with pure idiocy and unadulterated ignorance, as opposed to those things being manipulated by a political mastermind.
Euphemia: GOOD. I always like things that show how similar the Soviets were to the Americans, at least when it came to the average agent.
C.C.: IF HE TRIES TO FIGHT US, HE'LL JUST DISSOLVE INTO PINK SPARKLES. IT'LL BE FUNNY.
Tamaki: But then what fun would we have?

TRUST ME, I CAN BE VERY PERSUASIVE WHEN IT COMES TO FRAT BOYS. WITH THEM ON MY OUR SIDE, WE CAN'T FAIL TO EXORCISE THE DEMON RAND!
