Hmm. I guess that's convenient enough. It looks like me being an aspiring entrepreneur, taking a loan on territories that just happened to be claimed by a big, scary business.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Laughs* Probably not, bro.

@Balance

It can't hurt to try.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Dancing is cool, but, I don't know. It doesn't feel like me like it does when I'm fighting.

@Balance

Dance fighting?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

But when I come in and claim the territories, how will I not be obvious?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Shakes my head* It’s not the same.

@Balance

What's the difference?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Because the territory in question will be moved into a collective pool before being distributed to you. There is no sign that you orchestrated the transaction.

@Etcetera

How many of these have you already done?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Action helps me cope. You can spend hours on the battlefield, thinking about nothing but the dance.

@Balance

Couldn't you also, well, dance to do the same thing?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I mean, yeah, that's a better policy overall. I won't say I'm not taking a risk by doing it. But I need it.

@Balance

Why do you need it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Incapacitation by one method or another. I'll maim if they're deliberately aligned with a sadistic cause, which usually only happens with the high-up supers I'll tango with.

@Balance

I try to avoid making waves wherever I can.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

By what name can I call you?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I'm into it. *Shrugs* I try not to kill in warzones unless death was already high probability.

@Balance

Do you maim them instead?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Depends. Sometimes we fall right in the middle of a save-the-world story, and I help the heroes, or test them. That's rare, though. Other times, I'll spar in big-name rings, or hang out with elite forces in a war.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

How do I contact you or your benefactors? I'm not sure if I want this quite yet.

@Balance

I see. That sounds like a lot of violence.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Is there a particular placement of territories that would be worth asking your friends to arrange? Or is it simply the size of a clump of territories that has the advantage you're talking about?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Yeah, pretty regularly. Ruby and I go to lots of different universes, and it's part of our routine to spend some time teasing out the affairs of different planets and nations. If any of my powers fit the magic or tech of the place we go, I like to get involved in the action.

@Balance

Who do you fight?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Maybe it does. I use it for my fighting style, not to sneak around.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Are there particular shapes it's worth doing in?

@Balance

Do you fight often?
