“Aw, dammit!” Muse muttered as Kole collapsed. He was a little late to catch him, but still tried to prop him up when he got to him, supporting Kole and helping him sit up at least. He seemed a bit more focused on that than answering the various questions popping up, the stress of the situation clearly getting to him as he was left with few answers. 

Meanwhile, GM tilted his head at Callum. “Am I going to do [i]what[/i]?” he asked. “Kill you?” he chuckled at the notion. “Where would the fun be if I just killed every person I met? I’d get bored if I took out every source of entertainment I met!” he retorted. “Sometimes it’s more enjoyable to just strike fear into people and see what they do; it’s like breaking into a nest of ants just to watch them scramble around in a panic.” he laughed. “Besides, Muse said he was putting together an army to fight me. I wanna see how that’s coming along.” 

Hearing those words, Muse spawned an idea. “Yes! I [i]am[/i] working on an army!” he spoke up quickly. “They just haven’t gotten the chance to learn their powers yet. But they will! Because I know what powers they all have, and I can help them realize those abilities, because I have no doubt that they’re all more than capable.” he spoke firmly. 

“Like you!” he turned around, pointing to Callum. “You have the power to control elements.” he told him. “Like, fire and water and ice and things - all at your command. You have total control, in kind of like an Avatar: The Last Airbender style except cooler.” he spoke matter-of-factly, hoping and praying that Callum would believe him. If a little white lie was all it took to so easily unlock the roleplayers’ capabilities then so be it.
