Nightshade: Beer... beer... vodka... beer... I think my minions have a drinking problem.


Beressa: Mistress Nightshade! You should be hiding!
Nightshade: Why? No one's around anymore.
Beressa: Still, you should be care...is that a kitty suit?


Nightshade: *sigh* It's the only mini-sized outfit I had from before Belladonna rebelled. So what's been going on? Where is everyone?


Beressa: Belladonna put Dr. Frank N. Furter in charge of the porn studio. He's been working at it night and day to turn it into a global sex-empire. Pink is in charge of public relations and networking, so she's been shmoozing it up with the rich and famous. And the mercenaries have been looting and demolishing to their hearts' content.


Nighshade: And what about you?! Have you gotten the em-biggening ray yet?
Beressa: I can't. Only Belladonna and I are full sized. The ray is guarded by the rest of the minis until the next phase goes into effect. I'm working on a plan to get it away, but you'll have to be patient.


Nightshade: PATIENT?! I'm 1/3 size!
Beressa: So was I, for almost a year. Hey, I know what'll cheer you up. Do you want to see the shark tank Belladonna got installed?

 

 

 

Elsewhere:
Ash: ...and that's why I'd really appreciate you not try to set me up with anyone anymore.


Valentine: ...wow. I never knew you felt that way.


Ash: I know you were just being you and trying to help people, Valentine. But this time you really got it backwards! What ever made you think that I'd be interested in someone like Maggie, anyway?


Valentine: Um... I was trying to get you together with Eric. Who's Maggie?

 

 

 



Nightshade: HOLY CRAP!


Nightshade: It's exactly how I imagined it would be!
Beressa: Go look inside the tank. There's all different kinds of sharks!

Nightshade: There's a mako... and a tiger shark! Oh! A hammer-head!
Beressa: A great white shark should arrive in a few days.

Nightshade: How did she get them to put it in? I was fighting with the union for over six months, but they refused to continue after the third guy got eaten!
Beressa: Belladonna threw the union president off of a highway overpass. Then she sent the Vice-president a condolence flower arrangement with a note inquiring as to when her tank would be finished.


Nightshade: ....I never would have thought of something like that. How come she's doing so much better than me, and she's only been doing it a week?


Beressa: She has years of bitterness and rage built up from being 1/3 size. She even scares me sometimes.
Nightshade: ...yeah. I guess.



Commentary:
Finally getting off my butt to finish the minions' lair. No, Belladonna didn't have to kill anyone to get me to do it. This episode makes me think of a criminal psychology course I took. The professor always called on me when he wanted a really depraved answer. Don't know if he liked me or I worried him because of it.

Poor Nightshade. She tries so hard, but she's so inept. This chapter sort of demonstrates the difference between Nightshade's evil genius, and a ruthless criminal mastermind.

I love the shark tank. The most awesome part is that the clear covering reflects water-ey patterns on the walls from the camera flash when I take pictures (like, 3 shots up if you want to look)

The kitty outfit is the same kitty outfit Nightshade forced Belladonna to wear when she first appeared as a 'disguise' back in the Naked Midget Wrestling episode.
