No new posts for half an hour, no users viewing thread, Upgrade has just as many votes as every other option combined, so... Voting locked. Have a twin interlude.
Celes had felt someone or something watching her some time ago. Given as she didn't actually know if anyone besides Progenitor could actually access this place, she'd felt it would be prudent to take proper precautions.
Menacing-looking castle, check. Thunderstorm outside, check. Hooded black cloak, check. Incredibly comfy swivel chair facing away from entrance, check. White cat, check. Perfect.
Celes only had to wait for about five minutes before she heard a quiet pop of displaced air from behind her. Giving the chair a brief push to turn herself around, Celes rested her head atop steepled fingers before staring at Progenitor through half-lidded eyes.
He looked rather less impressive in person, she had to admit. Grey hair, hawaiian shirt, multicolored pants that appeared as though several spools of fabric had been sewn together like some twisted science-made abomination...
"Welcome to my lair, Progenitor. I've been expecting you."
"...Really now." He raised an eyebrow.
"Yup! You or my sister. Did she manage to steal your powers yet?"
"...Yet?" he asked, actually looking somewhat concerned. "You two planned this?"
This? Oooh, interesting. I am so getting the story behind that one later.
"I'll take that as a 'no'. Never mind!" Celes briefly started spinning her chair before Progenitor stopped any further movement, pinning Celes in place with little more than a glare. And a constant application of telekinesis if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for the lessons, Mom.
"Explain. You sounded so sure of yourself; what makes you think she could possibly manage that? I've put so many safeguards and contingencies in place that I can barely remember them all."
"Nuh-uh! Not telling. You'll just stop her if I tell you ahead of time. What kind of a sister would I be if I denied my sibling her chance at achieving infinite cosmic power?"
"I could just make you tell me."
"...Fiiine. She's like, the kind of girl who plays with game mechanics until she finds a bug, exploits that bug, and then uses it to set the entire beautifully-crafted castle-slash-maze that you spent hours making on fire! For no good reason! I mean, okay, it was a death trap that could give Crypt of Terrors a run for its money, and setting it aflame did accomplish her objective, but it's not like she wasn't smart enough to find her way through it. She could have at least had the common courtesy to-"
Celes stopped her rant as Progenitor abruptly vanished, looking really rather worried. When she was (mostly) sure he was actually gone and not just faking it, she dissolved into diabolical laughter. And it was diabolical laughter and not just uncontrollable giggling, even if Evelyn often claimed otherwise.
Life goal fulfilled: successfully troll Progenitor. Best. Birthday. Ever.
