Kefka sprawls across several chairs and a table, scowling.

I am bored. When I am bored, I destroy things. Destroying things cheers me up. Kefka smiles thoughtfully.

Last time destroying things got me dead before I destroyed things. This time I need to destroy things before I die. Thus I need to not die. Thus I need to not destroy things. Kefka frowns in concentration.

Thus I need to not be bored. Thus I need to do something with responsibility. Kefka raises one eyebrow.

Those in charge of handing out responsibility are not speaking with me. People with problems to be dealt with are not letting me deal wtih them. Clearly, they want me to be bored. But they don't want me to destroy things. Kefka glares around at nothing in particular. Clearly they are all hypocrites and insane. Kefka nods to himself.

So. Trapped in a bar with a large group of powerful, hypocritical, insane people. What to do?

I think I shall angst. For I am bored. Kefka pouts angstily.

She thinks about her current situation with the Roman Demon Mafia.

"Don't evil dictators usually have... thugs, though? I mean, if all heroes have is equipment and experience, against lots and lots of thugs... and sometimes bombs... most of the time, the heroes should lose... logically."

"Bah, thugs aren't worth the money you don't pay them. Have you _tried_ to hire a henchman in this economy? It's horrible. And then you have to fight with the other evil masterminds for applicants, and it's "Oh, do you have a mechanical genius, I'm fresh out." "I'll trade you for two dumb brutes." "Gee, take an arm and a leg too why don't you..." It's horrible. It's so much easier to just create your own minions from magical scrap, but then they're all one-minded and stupid and likely to turn on you. I tell you, it's just not worth it. I've half a mind to go solo next time."

"I... haven't actually. Most of my... er... henchmen... are just loyal. And pretty smart. But soloing is generally a bad idea. There's nobody around to save you if you need it. Gotta have backup."

"See, these are the ideas I need. Would you be interested in a second in command position? We have an excellent health plan."

She blinks.

"I'm... flattered. But not really into the dictatorship thing. I've found that heroing gets me most of what I want... Maybe you should try it sometime. People tend to follow you more if they like you."

She nods happily. Then yawns.

"Oh my. I should go to bed."

"Eh, not so much into the dictatorship thing at the moment. But it is what I've had past experience in, and this place _does_ need some organization."

Kefka blinks. "I didn't realize your injuries were so bad. You really should sign up for the health plan if you need to sleep."

She grins.

"It does. But you don't have to be a dictator to do it. Maybe I could help though. Just not now."

She stands up and waves, heading out the door.
