"I'd argue that chemicals make everything better, and not just because being overstimulated is a fun experience - from a certain point of view everything is made up of chemicals anyway. So more happiness chemicals is a good thing, right? I bet if we all ate a donut right now we'd all feel way better. Ooh, they haven't been introduced to donuts! I'll fix that."

Alan gains his Good Idea^TM face.

First action edited

Eh. As the one person on that mission who could feasibly do that, inefficient.

((It's a definite possibility, but Alan's actual backstory is about as certain as the Joker's - in fact he was one of the characters I based Alan off of. Until such time as I'm forced to decide what Alan's actual background is, it'll remain trapped in quantum uncertainty and he will merely be the force of Alan in the universe.))

"Yeah, and Red Bull gives you wings! In this case it can be metaphorical wings, being wings for your emotions, raising them upward, and thus making you feel better! My logic is flawless."

While 5 years ago, 388 individuals together owned as much money as the poorest half of the world population (3.5 billion people), in 5 years time the gap has grown even further.
According to Oxfam Novib (The organization for cooperation in global developmental aid), 62 individuals together now own as much as the poorest half of the world population. This is not because 320 rich people keeled over and died, no, the statistics have changed because the poor half of world population owns even less than 5 years ago.

The poorest half of world population saw their assets drop by a stunning 41% over the past 5 years, which amounts to around a trillion dollars.
Meanwhile in the same 5 years, the total assets of the 62 richest people on the planet rose with 0.5 trillion dollars.

Oxfam urges worldwide governments to put a stop to the existance of tax paradises. Estimates are, that 7.6 trillion dollar worth of private funds are stowed away in such places.

You gotta wonder what they need all that money for. I mean, the Powerball in the US has everyone freaking out about potentially winning ~400 million dollars after taxes because that amount of money would mean you could live luxuriously for the rest of your life. What could you possibly do with multiple billions/trillions of dollars apart from go 'ha, look at how big numbers I have'?

I'm thinking of making some lesser daemons and a greater daemon of Malal based off the concept art Ackland did way back in the early days of warhammer, and while I know what I'll use as the base for the lesser daemons I have no idea what to use for the greater daemon.

The lessers I can base off ghouls with their manes cut off, curved claws stuck where their hands where and long snouted heads attached to them.

The closest I can find in build to the greaters concept art is the Skaven Verminlord, but that's waaaay too furry for Malal, since his daemons were going to be all chitin and scales originally. 

Make a scaly verminlord? It wouldn't be all that hard.

Well, for me to picture at least, I dunno about the making process.

"Oh, didn't you know? Apparently there's this giant army of what people call stoats outside the castle looking to kill us all. They look like marmots to me, really - kinda short limbs but a really long and flexible spine. I've done my part, I ate one of them while I might have been possessed by a demon or tapped into my inner monstrosity or something. Point is, that guy's going to go laser the army with some giant doom laser that I kinda wish I could get. But I'm gonna get something cool anyway. So yeah."

Y'know, looking at myself from the outside it seems like I might seem insane.

I'm not, obviously. Everything I've done so far has a totally rational reason behind it.
