"Ah, good, some more wine. Thank you, dear. Now, I was telling you about what the gray market. It's a wonderful thing, in a small way. We have so many more 'off-the-books' operatives trying to sneak into MirageCorp facilities and engage in corporate espionage.
Last year, we developd E-101 materials; durable polymer adhesives that melt through clothing quite nicely, leaving captives unharmed but stuck in place. You wouldn't believe how many resources our rivals threw at it, trying to make sure we could never bring it to market.
Or - have I told you about our recent synthetic leathers? Just as good as the real thing, and quite cruelty-free. Rather expensive, but then again, the quality is always worth it, and our wealthy clients are always interested. Do you see that woman over there? The one dressed in a lovely leather catsuit? She was a spy sent in to try and steal a sample.
That was a month ago, and I think that she has plenty of first-hand experience about what it feels like. Do you like it? The lovely sensation of leather caressing your body? The tightness of straps, the unbreakable buckles keeping you in place? It makes for a very sophisticated look.
Tomorrow, after this party, I'm going to have to get rid of some of you. Maybe I'll have a few of you auctioned off... maybe even released to your employers. Or perhaps I'll keep a few of you. Decisions, decisions. Perhaps we could play a game to decide who stays and who goes?"

Art by
yacermino , who has such a
gorgeous and incredibly classical, iconic style. I could stare at his art all day long; it has such a beautiful sheen to it. Everything pops, everything is so clear. His villains are lovely and his heroes just as splendid, whether they're winning or losing!
