We Will NOT Play DnD

The modern world has a modern way of doing villainy. It's not crime if you do it through crowdsourcing in an app, for example. That's just innovative technology. And if investors benefit, then it's especially not crime - that's just good business. There are a lot of things that seem like villainy which, if you ask a business, constitutes nothing of the sort.

Super villains lose all the time, but it seems like none of them ever fully admit defeat. This can be a bit of a strength, but when it gets wrapped up in some futile or stupid like trying to open a stuck jar lid, or achieving and unlikely bargain, then all resources will go to it only until, suddenly, the objective is destroyed for the villain's ego.

The heat is rising everywhere at once, and Kimon now has to juggle multiple fires. The good news for him is that a man with super kinesthetic senses can juggle quite a few balls in the air. Without tipping, he's got to balance Mercury, Phil, and Lawry all against each other, without losing the Green Man to the fray.

It's rare that two people at odds with one another can actually "change minds", exactly. Persuasive arguments usually involve convincing one side that they can get what they already want or already believe by adopting a different stance. When two sides can't achieve their goals by changing stance, the impasse is insurmountable.

Once someone in law enforcement goes crooked, there are quite a few ways to really bend the rules and more harm than good. Entrapment is a very good example, and Kimon intends to play a complex game here with multiple snares, except there's a snare waiting for him as well.
