Living on his own for so long, the Emperor had quickly become accustomed to hiding his thoughts. The great leader of Mankind had further learned, upon revealing himself to humanity as a whole, that keeping his psychic powers very tightly constrained when others were around was wise. So it was with some surprise that he found himself one day eavesdropping on one of his granddaughters. He hadn’t meant to, but it was hard NOT to, he had simply been walking through the rooftop gardens of the Palace on Terra and found Venus chatting with someone he didn’t recognize. Before he could say anything or Venus could spot him, though, he saw the young man she was with speaking. “So, of course, we freeze. We all know what that sound means,” the young man said excitedly. “Of course,” Venus giggled. “What did you do?” “Well,” the young man said, sighing dramatically, “I…TRIED to maintain order, but, you know, panic sets in so fast.” “Oh, I know,” she replied flatly, a smirk tugging her lips. The young man didn’t notice her sarcasm. “Well, I’m frantically voxing the rest of the squad, trying to keep them in line, when the crazy son of a bitch rounds the corner in person. He’s coated from head to toe in varnish, naturally enough, and I was lucky enough to have a soap grenade handy, so I try to use it. It works, and he comes bumrushing in, going all ‘vengeance’ this and ‘HONK HONK’ that,” the young man said, apparently making a conscious effort to keep his voice down. Venus spotter her grandfather out of the corner of her eye and waved while the young man paused for breath. “Wait, you can make soap weapons?” she asked, returning her attention to her boyfriend. |
