The Ditto's confidence flooded back as he remembered his trip to Celadon during the Inverse-Kanji wedding well over a year ago. Panopticon, merged with his Ditto partner Proteus, had suffered a crushing defeat there, with Doppler administering the psionic coup de grace. "You speak as if you're on the verge of finding out," Doppler at last responded. "Presumptuous, aren't we?" Panopticon sneered. "Oh, there'sss more than one way to -" "All right, people, take your places for scene sixty-seven!" the guttural yell of Stevon Schpielbunk interrupted. "But where are my prioritiesss?" Panopticon added. "If you'll excussse me..." He casually strode past Doppler to return to work. Trying to appeal to Panopticon's ego, Doppler scoffed after the cyber-saur, "I should have figured. You were nothing with your Ditto friend...and alone, you're even less." Panopticon stopped in his tracks. The skater girl put her hands on her hips. "Did I strike a nerve?" Panopticon gave an irritated snort. "Third." Doppler raised an eyebrow. "Pardon?" "In my kill-queue, you're third. Don't make me dessstroy you out of turn; I worked ssso hard on that queue..." "Only third?" Doppler said. "I'm insulted." Panopticon said nothing. He headed to his place for the next scene with his tail swishing from side to side. --K * A * R * N * I * V * A * X-- "Some have said there is no subtlety to destruction. You know what?
