[QUOTE=Malacandra]  
Although mishearing things has been the major sign of it so far, I think **Elendil’s Heir is (or thinks he is) really elderly**.  
[/QUOTE]

Nope! It’s more specific than that, actually. (Should have given your more specific answer there. 😛 )

Only **lobstermonster** can guess for him now (although it probably shouldn’t be too hard).

…and again, another silence falls over the party…

Hm, maybe I should go socialize with that other group over there, they look like they can strike up a good conversation…

Yes **Dotchan** , come and join the guessed guests.

I tell you, it’s such a relief not to try and have to work the word “quixotic” into a post.

The usual. Exactly when to execute my plan for world domination.

[oog] I was also planning on “My quirk is as easy as abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”.

🆒

Have you any idea how many consulting firms spam my inbox - weekly - with their latest versions of the Overlord Checklist? Always some new thing that I absolutely _have_ to do to insure against the failure of my Grand Plan because of some hitherto unforeseen little detail.

Well, I figure there’s no point in being an Evil Overlord if you can’t have fun. y’know? It’d be nice if everything all worked out perfectly, but since when has a massive conspiracy actually worked?

I hope not. I had some good stimulating conversations a while back, I hope to keep up the chatter.

Okay… I’ll throw a guess out there just to keep things alive.

**Blaster Master’s** way too interested in music, wears Benneton pants, thinks he’s too cool for school, and is somewhat degrading to women… sounds like the worst kind of **hipster** to me.

Nope!

Well… another longshot guess… (I’m really afraid the party has worn down, so I’ve just going on what’s been posted)

Dnooman seems really distracted… he changes his conversation midstream… has he been **diagnosed with ADD**?

Speaking of Blaster Master, I wonder where he went. He seemed very interested in dialoging with me, at least…

No, I would never intrude on a woman’s privacy like that. Even if she was smokin’ hawt.

Yes, isn’t it? Ideally, how many people would you like to see talking to you?
