Another planet subjugated.

All in all, it’s been a productive day.

[manipulativecueball]

And you find my methods crude?

Crude is all that you people listen to.

Force, violence, shows of power and control.

Call it crude if you wish, but you cannot deny that what I do has results.

I have given up being kind and gentle and careful.

No one listens to such ideas.

So call me crude.

I have simply given in to what people acknowledge.

A Guardian / A Balancer

Ah ah ah, any concerns shall be addressed individually. 

To be fair, of course.

And so that led to a body being shot out from his office, a crumpled mess of broken bones and bleeding orifices, before the host was found walking out after, wiping colors of blood from his knuckles with a handkerchief. 

“Who’s next?”

[manipulativecueball]

Strong rulers, weak rulers, they’re all the same.

To a planet, what might be the kindest and most successful ruler could still lead them down a path of destruction, even if it’s too far off to see.

A strong ruler, at least, is willing to make the choices no one wishes to consider, to be willing to kill those that have not yet gone against them because they know it will come in time.

But their reigns both end, the ideas they set in place becoming twisted and broken by those that come after. The goal of one ruler is not the same as another, even if their desires lie in the same direction, they will never be able to make the exact same decisions that their predecessor would have made.

Which leads to one conclusion.

One ruler, for the rest of time. One who can hold onto that goal and never veer from it, always making the right choices, objectively, that will guarantee the continuation of life, fairly.

Which leaves one candidate.

[manipulativecueball]

So many, many things to do now.

New enforcers to be made.

New rules to create.

I’d almost say I’m enjoying it.

But why enjoy that which was brought by my own failure?

No, this is another job. A final job of mine, one that should keep me busy for the rest of time.

[manipulativecueball]

Useless.

Everyone is useless.

Nothing is safe while I’m gone. 

Nothing is acceptable while I’m gone.

I come back to carnage and fear, to pain and blood.

I come back to a disaster, once more.

No more will I let this happen.

I will not be useless.

Not again.

[manipulativecueball]

Ah.

I see now I missed quite a lot in my absence.

...

[manipulativecueball]

And here I thought I would actually be entertaining guests after my return.

Shame, I suppose. It’s been a while since I’ve had an enjoyable conversation.

[manipulativecueball]

cullerofcute‌:

Well, you know my coordinates. I’ll be waiting patiently for your company, my dear.

I can give you a tour, if you’d like. I’ve put quite the effort into creating their growning environments.

I’m always partial to green.

[manipulativecueball]

cullerofcute‌:

38O

W)(at kind of tea are you growing?

Most kinds. Green, black, herbal. I’ve not held myself back with a singular type.

[manipulativecueball]

cullerofcute‌:

Fair enoug)(. )(ow )(ave you been doing t)(en, w)(en you’re naut busy being tired?

...Managing at best. I’ve been doing my best to keep myself occupied with hobbies, and I’ve found an enjoyable passtime of cultivating tea leaves..

[manipulativecueball]

cullerofcute‌:

It’s moor fun to watc)( you vague post and play fore pity 3;P

)(ow’ve you been?

Pity? Please, you know I don’t care for something like that.

Mm, tired mostly. Busy as well, but I see no reason to bring business into a conversation between friends.

[manipulativecueball]

Going to just stay back and not say hello?

I’m hurt.

[manipulativecueball]

[manipulativecueball]

[manipulativecueball]

Mm. Tasting iron as you woke up was always fun.

“...Time to go clean up, I suppose.”
