I Live For The Applause

Varrick of Varrick Global Industries! Are you ready for my new pitch, my good man? ZHU LI DO THE THING! [Independent multi-fandom rp blog for Varrick of the LOK series.]

[theempprofessor]

If you say so.

[He rolled his eye, but of course followed the mogul. Varrick would no doubt just want the eye to improve his own tech developments, but if it helped Ben stop looking like a Bond villain he was all for it.]

Anything I need to know about, regarding why you were gone for the past year?

[varrickindustries]

Sorry, that’s strictly confidential.

[Pat pat. He led the way in a happy little strut while Zhu Li seemed ready to pilot the aircraft to take them through the rift.]

Time to buckle in, sport.

[theempprofessor]

Yeah, it was… it was kind of awful.

[He shuddered a bit, but had to smile at the touch to his shoulder. Patted his hand.]

Thanks. I… doubt you’ll need to fire anyone if they can’t figure it out, it’s a pretty delicate instrument. But thank you.

[varrickindustries]

Think nothing of it. I’m always here to help out a colleague. 

[Or backstab them, BUT that was neither here nor there ahahahaa.]

Why don’t you come with me and we’ll get that eye looked at and replicated.

[theempprofessor]

I was kidnapped back in January. Some kind of psycho-killer. My eye shorted out.

Actually, they broke my hand, too, but we had the specs back here to fix it.

[varrickindustries]

Kidnapped?!

[Moon Spirit, he felt bed for going underground for a while. Poor Ben. He rested a hand on his shoulder.]

Don’t you worry, Benny-boy. I’ll get my people to make you a new eye. If they can’t I’ll do it. And also they’ll be fired.

[disasterghaster-moved]

Devang. Real and original, that’s all.

[varrickindustries]

Hmmm...

[Leaned right in with a squinty eye before he pulled back and nodded, snapping his fingers.]

Right, I remember now! You must have done something with your hair and...everything else.

[varrickindustries]

[Varrick grinned.]

No trouble~. There’s more of those at the store, on sale so don’t miss out!

[Shameless advertising.]

[apersistentinspector]

Oh? … I’ve never heard of ‘em.

[Wary nibble.]

[varrickindustries]

[Gasp.]

What, you’ve been living under a rock?

[theempprofessor]

It’d go better if we could get my eye working again.

You sure got out of town pretty quickly. Where’ve you been?

[varrickindustries]

Hmm?

[He squinted up close to Ben’s face to get a look at that eye.]

What happened there?

[Completely ignoring the question of ‘where’ he’d been.]

[varrickindustries]

theempprofessor started following you

BENNY BOY!

How’s work been treatin’ ya?

[varrickindustries]

averyrook started following you

Well aren’t you a sight for sore eyes.

[apersistentinspector]

What’s a… oh. Uh. Thank you??

[Squinted at this. Food? Did he pull it out of his coat? Where was the wrapper? Did this guy just have cake in his pockets??]

[varrickindustries]

[Varrick grinned.]

No trouble~. There’s more of those at the store, on sale so don’t miss out!

[Shameless advertising.]

[apersistentinspector]

[Stares right at this guy’ss face. What the heck.]

[varrickindustries]

Y’look like y’need a little pick me up! Why not try one of my famous Varricakes?

[Nudge nudge. Just casually hands one over. Where did it come from? Who knows.]

[varrickindustries]

murderbynecessity started following you

I wanna say I know you, but...

[varrickindustries]

You look a little lost, there, buckaroo.

[apersistentinspector]

I ain’t a buckaroo.

[varrickindustries]

My, my, and grumpy too.

[varrickindustries]

apersistentinspector started following you

You look a little lost, there, buckaroo.

[theempprofessor]

[[My commission from Mr. Grundy came! So gorgeous!]]

Varrick has placed a copyright claim on The Smolder.

[chop-stuff]

It’s been such a long time coming, I don’t know why I never drew Varrick, he was my favourite part of Book 2 and continues to be my favourite character of the series.

So yea, have some smug Varrick.
