"I think it's a stupid idea." My coworker said, sipping her after-shift drink and looking back at me with a raised eyebrow. "There are better ways to spend Powerball winnings."

"You see, I don't think so." I replied, staring into the darkness of my rum-infused diet cola, "I see no point in having 12 cars. I simply want to pay off my debt, go back to school, and buy the armory. Once the armory is completely overhauled into a functional castle, I intend to level the neighborhood around it, and build a moat..."

"And you'll displace all those people?!"

"No...They will be my vassals." I looked at her; expressionless.

"Shut up." She snapped back, shaking her head, "You're crazy, let's talk about something else."

"I'm dead serious."

"No you're not, you'll never win the lottery anyway!"

"But if I did..." I raised my glass to my lips, "That's exactly what I'm doing."

"It's not possible. There is no way that you could convince 100 families to be your vassals."

"Why not? I'd offer them more than what the state is doing now. They would have their own land that they'd work for me, and in return I would provide them housing and necessarily protection with modern amenities such as comprehensive healthcare."

"Nobody would go for it."

"Yes they will."

"How do you figure?"

I smirked, "They won't have a choice..."

She froze, "You're serious? Holy shit, you're actually SERIOUS?!"

My expression didn't break, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

She inhaled sharply, and reached for her drink, "Let's talk about something else."

- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

I felt like that needed to go in a narrative form.
