jaebilityThe Kaiser was a serpent, all silk and fangs.
Willis wondered at first if the kid was just insane, suffering from intense delusions of grandeur and megalomania, or maybe some strange form of manic depression, but it didn't take long for his smirking curiousity to change to wonder. He was as smart as he boasted. His plan was infallible. Maybe crazy, but a crazy genius.
Willis shifted in his seat and flexed his cramping arms. The handcuffs at his wrists were heavy and cold and inescapable - the Kaiser had taken no chances. Willis sighed and sighed again and stretched his legs. "Bored," he announced at last, satisfied when the Kaiser turned towards him, "And thirsty. And I need to piss. That's somewhat odd, wouldn't you say? You'd think that, like, they'd nullify each other or something."
The Kaiser grinned (cat-like) and wagged a be-gloved finger. "Are all Americans this crass? Come now, my dear Willis, certainly you're smarter than that."
"Say what?" Willis looked down at his feet to hide the blush of shame that rushed to his cheeks. "Damn Japs, didn't you learn anything in World War Two? Or do we need to bomb the shit out of you again?"
"Willis, you are acting decidedly out of character." The Kaiser reclined in his chair and lazily watched his prisoner. "I've investigated you thoroughly and I know that you're merely acting like this to get a rise our of me. A simple ruse, occasionally effective with lesser minds, and thus useless on me." His long fingers tapped on the keyboard of the Kaiser's massive computer and a file opened: Willis Puller. "You have a laudable IQ, Willis, and your education is most impressive. To your friends and family you're polite, well-spoken, and a fascinating orator. The only complaint anyone can make is that you're often too quiet and thoughtful - you can be somewhat aloof."
"Yeah, well, maybe if you uncuff me I'll be more pleasant."
"Pleasantry has nothing to do with it." The Kaiser leaned forward, his dark eyes intense. "The Willis I have currently bound and chained is practically the very opposite of the boy I have profiled." With a snarl of disgust he jumped to his feet and paced around his throne, his footsteps loud and violent. "You, the only Chosen who could make a suitable opponent for me, are acting like an idiotic-"
A long, painful pause.
The Kaiser began to chuckle. "You got me!" He gasped. "I fell blindly into that trap!" The giggles grew louder until the Kaiser screamed with laughter.
No question now: the Kasier was mad.
