The Torment of Sub-Visser Seven

[flunkingspanish.livejournal.com]

The Sub-Visser stared stonily up at the ceiling, still holding Paco under rigid control. The fugue was coming. He knew it. Everyone knew it.

Paco in particular was taking a double-handful of joy in it.

Suffer and die, you sluggy bastard, he said. I am going to grind you into the floor when you fall out of my head. You're going to be paste.

Does your precious little best friend know that you take such pleasure in others' slow deaths? the Sub-Visser sneered back, flicking Paco's eyes down toward his right wrist, where the tattoo Paco had gotten when Jaime had disappeared was currently covered in bandages. One of the many watchers had caught the Sub-Visser rubbing that wrist against the restraining strap, wearing at the skin and scratching up the tattoo.

It was petty, yes, but oh so satisfying.

You tried to shoot him in the head, Paco retorted. His heart bleeds, I'm sure.

Jack Spicer has a remarkable talent for annoying people that are probably best when left un-annoyed. This is especially true when they can't do much about it. He's been trying to figure out this "yeerk" thing since he heard about it, and so far they seem to have failed at whatever evil plan they were trying to work out.

How lame.

"So, is the head honcho evil dude still alive in there or what?" he asks conversationally, wandering over.

Oh look, someone to distract the Sub-Visser from his last hours of tormenting his host. As if he couldn't multitask.

"You will address me as 'Sub-Visser', human."

[helipack-jack.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? Okay, why should I?" Jack smirks a little bit. "You're the one strapped to a table." Technically it's Paco, but still.

[flunkingspanish.livejournal.com]

"Because, you idiot, if you were to unstrap me, I would be able to give you power beyond your wildest dreams."

Where do you get your dialogue? My memories of B-Movie Nights?

[helipack-jack.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

"Then why aren't you using it to escape?" Jack's heard that one before. He's definitely interested, but he's gotten a little bit more savvy since being out-villained by the likes of Wuya and Chase Young.

The Sub-Visser rolled Paco's eyes.

"Because it's not in the Med Bay," he said. "Obviously."

[helipack-jack.livejournal.com]

Hmm. "And lemme guess, you're not gonna tell me where it is right?" But Ja-ack, REAL ULTIMATE POWER, Jack!

...Sweet mother of god, tell me he's not that gullible.

The Sub-Visser gave Jack a smile. "Ahh, so you're not actually an idiot. Very cunning disguise you have there."

[helipack-jack.livejournal.com]

Oh Paco, you have no idea.

Jack gets sidetracked here. "Disguise?"

[flunkingspanish.livejournal.com]

Jack's gullibility will provide hours of entertainment in the future, assuming he doesn't let the kill-happy slug up from the table in the next couple minutes.

The Sub-Visser tried not to roll his eyes again. "Forget I said anything. I wouldn't want to ruin your masterful cover."

Flattering Jack would likely do more for the Sub-Visser than continuing to insult him. And he could always kill him once he was unstrapped.

"No, really. What disguise? This is what I look like." Jack, has it ever occurred to you that most teenage boys do not run around with face makeup and swirly goggles? Even without your evil coat you look pretty weird.

If the Sub-Visser had his hands free, he would throttle the kid facepalm.

"Cleverly disguising yourself as an idiot," he explained, very slowly. "Although I'm beginning to think that you might be an idiot disguising himself as someone disguising himself as an idiot. You are a many-layered individual."

You suck at flattery. For the record. You suck hard.

Jack scowls. "Okay, that's enough from you. I'm not believing your crap now." He crosses his arms and gathers himself up in his coolest, most laid-back-wise-ass demeanor. "The name's Jack Spicer. Evil Boy Genius. I was thinking I might be able to make a deal with you but now, no way man. You suck at evil."

Said by Jack. That undermines the statement quite a bit, but then again nobody here knows that. In any case, he's proving his social idiocy further.

The Sub-Visser rolled his eyes again.

"Did you know that 'gullible' is written on the ceiling above your head?" he asked. Because he's petty enough to try to spoil Paco's future fun time.
