Whelp, I figured I'd blackmail you all.*The image shifts to David, battered, bruised, and near death, sitting in a chair speckled with blue stones and a device attached to his head*I have everything thought out.

I am sorry, but I cannot.-Ruby- *appears* Hi, Second and Ridge and David Prime!!

whizzball1 said
*lets in a sharp breath* David!-Ruby- *at the same time* David!!

Valiance said
*Shakes my head*Hey.

Nimda said
That's good 'ol fashioned Seastone. It represses devil fruit powers. The device on his head disrupts his brainwaves, so he can't use any psychokinetic powers, summon the Artifacts, or even think! He's absolutely at my mercy! Unfortunately for him*Wickedly grins*I have none.

Nimda said
Is there an issue? I could always have you executed.

whizzball1 said
*Frowns* How could you do this to him?-Ruby- *angrily* What do you want with us?!

Valiance said
Over my dead body. *Mutters*When this thing is done, I may never feel the same about a lot of people.

Nimda said
Weren't you busy bleeding from the eyes?

Nimda said
How? I have the ability to do so. Quite simply. What I want is to keep you all out of this. Otherwise, I kill him.

Valiance said
If that's your definition of busy, then I really wonder how long it took you to get to the point you're at now. Probably longer than Second's been alive?*Taps my chin three times*

whizzball1 said
*almost shakes head, but stops himself and whispers to himself* What would David want me to do?

Nimda said
*Starts laughing*Isis, have you filed those documents yet?Isis: Nearly complete, father.-If I weren't in such a good mood, you would be beheaded by now.

whizzball1 said
*frowns* What ever for? I have technically not done anything that would warrant that. I have not insulted you, defied your commands, or so much as broken a single rule.

Nimda said
*I chuckle*I was talking to my daughter.

Nimda said
Secret codes won't get you anywhere. There's nothing you can do to save him.

whizzball1 said
...-Ruby- ...

Valiance said
Secret codes? What the heck... Has being king already knocked you off your rocker? You're always welcome to step down. I'm just thinking.

Nimda said
*Smirks*?

Nimda said
Oh, dear Ridge, I am no fool.
