The evening you returned was incredibly satisfying for me. I enjoy the newfound confidence your ability has inspired. But now I find myself mildly disappointed because I suspect you may be more interested in bringing me to my knees than the world around us.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Brutally honest, even. Good.
You know how I am, Klaus. I've always taken the more individualistic approach.

[herrstory]

Yes, well. It is time to switch up your tactics. Even if it is initially with only one person other than myself.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Are you volunteering Gruber? I was considering all the horrible things I could make him do.

[herrstory]

The point is to inspire. Not torment those of whom you are not fond.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Why not? The other guy got an Old Testament phase!

[herrstory]

He also created the entire universe before that. Allegedly.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I created your 401k.

[herrstory]

One, I imagine, I will never be able to touch before I return to my world.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Well, yes, that's how I was able to make it so unrealistically generous.

I love how easily I can distract you.

[herrstory]

You are not distracting me. You are distracting yourself. I know what needs to be done. You are having a difficult time committing to it thus why you are carrying the conversation away from where it was.

It is now your time to answer honestly. Do you want to do this?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I do, yes.

[But not for the same reasons as Starr.]

[herrstory]

And what do you perceive as the biggest hurdle we have to overcome?

[slightlyoffchilt]

My disobedient staff.

[herrstory]

No.

[ Unacceptable answer. Try again. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

My loving and gorgeous fiancée with whom I often have marathon sex with.

[HE TYPES THIS POINTEDLY.]

[herrstory]

So which part is the obstacle? The fiancée or the marathon sex?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Neither, really, I just wanted you to know that I had both.

[The braggart.]

[herrstory]

I do not care. Neither do you since you are the one sexting me.

--> voice.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Such bravado.

I wonder how bold you'll be when you can hear me.

voice.

[herrstory]

The same amount. You must realize I am not frightened of your ability.

voice.

[slightlyoffchilt]

[A beat. A long, bracing inhale.

A sharp, brief yelp.]

Tell me what you are frightened of.

[Blood on his desk, as it dribbles in droplets from the slice in his palm.]

voice.

[herrstory]

[ The words spew from his lips without a single thought: ]

What the world will become if that imbecile halfwit takes over back home.

voice.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You really cannot stand the idea of someone like that, someone so inferior holding that kind of prestige over you. It just uproots your sense of order.

[An insightful perspective into Starr's authentic fear -- arrogant in its own way. Chilton cleared his throat, procrastinating for a moment, knowing what he must do and yet dreading the plunge.

Another sharp yelp, with a whimpering accompaniment.]

Choke yourself for fifteen seconds.

voice.

[herrstory]

You still believe I am ruled by my own pride? That what I do is about my precious feelings?

[ The word is spat with a bitter disdain for such emotions. ]

You are wrong. There is far more at stake beyond me and my--

[ Then that order came. Starr's words ceased and with a great deal of exasperation, he reaches up to yank his tie taut -- effectively strangling himself. Although to teach Chilton a little lesson, Starr goes silent. And he is silent for much longer than the fifteen seconds. Even if he is safe and sound, Chilton deserves to have that bit of a fright that his power could cause something to go terribly wrong so he could learn a bit of restraint. ]
