Warnings: Megalomania

[The feed begins with Eggman sitting at what appears to be a console facing the camera. He's routed his shellphone camera into one of his Buzzbomber Radniks, giving a much more dynamic view of his quickly expanding warehouse and base of operations. The good doctor has wasted no time and appears to be well in production of not just Radniks, but other experiments and tools using the strange magic and technology found on this world. Anyone who knows him well may be alarmed. But if you don't, he just looks industrious.]

[Once the feed starts, he stands and begins to dramatically move about the room, arms clasped behind his back.]

Good day my fellow Riftfarers!

I have been here for several months now and it has come to my attention that several denizens of my world have made it their mission to inform the public of my er...proclivities. As such, I have thought long and hard about what this means and how to move forward.

[As he speaks, he gesticulates with one arm in sweeping, grand gestures.]

As such, I have decided that it is important, in the spirit of transparency that I make my past known. Yes, it is true that I, the Great Dr. Ivo Robotnik, have sought to conquer my world more than a few number of times. However, I have agreed to be on my...best behavior while I remain a tenant of this washed out world and such, I would like to extend the proverbial olive branch. You see, some Hedgehogs who shall remain nameless unless their name is Sonic, seem to believe I have the propensity for good.

Now, in the spirit of this newfound...charitability I wish to point out that any Radniks I have sold to you or anyone else are not dangerous. This has been verified by trusted sources but if you would like to investigate for yourselves? Well, I have nothing to hide.

Which brings me nicely to the reason for this broadcast!

[Eggman snaps, and a graphic appears on the screen.]

If transparency is the name of the game, I thought it would be a fun little exercise in trust! All questions are valid though I will get some of the easier ones out of the way first.

[Ahem.]

My name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, but I have allowed others to call me Eggman. It was an insulting moniker I have chosen to adopt, thus robbing it of its power over me. As for my general interests? Robotics, mad science, engineering, aeronautics, and theme parks.

The floor is yours and I eagerly await your questions.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm surprised you had that picture of Sonic saved. Did you bring that data with you when you arrived?

You have an interest in theme parks?

[-don't mind the shot of Turo's work desk, various gems and tools within reach- along with a mix of metal and other materials he had been working on.

It's fine.]

Yeah, yeah, villain conquering the world and all, classic.

...You know it'd actually suck to be put in charge right? You might not have to bow to idiots anymore, but that's because you'd be responsible for them.

Ever do in person meetings?

(It's a long shot, but they want to see if they can get a good telepathic read on this guy, if possible.)

question 1 why do you have photos of me that's weird and creepy

[~~What is this, Twitter Takeover?~~]

How would you like to die?

Where do you live?

[ No reason WHY... ]

Unfortunately, no. This is just an accurate rendering of how I wish that blue rodent to just be.

Excellent question, we're off to a good start.

Admittedly yes, I do. There's something appealing about manufacturing amusement and carefully calibrated thrill rides all painted up with a unifying theme.

[He's...a little surprised Turo isn't mentioning that he admitted to trying to conquer his world.]

That's two questions but I'm feeling generous.

Being put in charge isn't as much of a hurdle if I can simply reshape the world to my whim. You're assuming that the "idiots" in question will exist in that world at all.

As for in person meetings, I have no problems meeting with someone, if it suits my needs or piques my interest.

[Eggman isn't a recluse but he always has an agenda. And more than enough plans to keep himself safeguarded when he does venture into meetings with unknown variables.]

It's from my vision board where I try and make my dreams into a beautiful reality. Next question.

Ohohoho! Why Shadow, how wonderful it is to hear your threats!

Come now, you can't tell me there isn't any other pressing questions. You and I are practically family.

You're taking all questions? For the sake of proving we can trust you?

Permanently in your minds, it seems. A lingering fear perhaps? An ever-present doubt?

You ask as if Shadow doesn't know where to find me at all times.

Of course, isn't that part of the game?

[Lying by omission is, naturally, expected.]

[The surprise of Theme Parks-]

There is quite a bit that goes into them, even if I must admit I do not have much memory of any.

[They existed yes, but... no personal memories.]

They do exist where I am from, of course.

[It's there in his mind, but so was sorting through the various groups who... attempted the same, or simply wanted to remake the world. Weighing just a little there, given what a certain edgehog had been telling him.]

Hmph. You're a disappointment. [His ties with the Robotniks had already been severed long ago. They're nothing more than individuals on opposing sides now.] It wasn't a threat. How would you choose to die?

[Eggman raises an eyebrow. That second statement seemed more like Turo was trying to convince himself more than convince Eggman.]

I suppose the ones you went to weren't all that memorable.

A shame really. Theme parks make excellent traps as well.

[Let's see where this goes.]

My end will come when it's what I desire and not before. Sad to say, I plan to stick around for many more years.

Now, honestly, isn't there something more pleasant you wish to ask? Or has that red eyeliner permanently tinted your worldview.

Since he failed to mention it. He enslaved an entire alien race to power his theme park once. [Just, an FYI]

Enslaved is such a strong word.

Not inaccurate, of course.

Just strong.

I would suppose not.

[Or at least not thought of as important memories that would ever really be needed.

Those empty spaces were in his memory was far more unsettling these days.]

Imagine they work as well as... environmental groups being used to draw in numbers for groups planning to destroy and remake a world.

But I'm not asking Shadow. I'm asking you.

[ S M I L E. ]

... ... ...

Are you going to address that I've attempted to conquer my world multiple times or not? If the elephant in the room were any bigger I'd arm it.

[Creative... and-]

I likely do not want to ask how that worked.

[No better than capturing pokémon to power anything against their will.]

Well, if you must know, I've been known to make my residence on Nogard.

[Though he operates in many places.]
