Zapientus is talking: "If I must deal with a Melakhor, I am very interested in the battle capabilities of my newest creation."

It's a pixelart screenshot. A blue-haired kid with hair covering his right eye and wearing a big robe stands in a quarry saying to another person nearby: "Nalla, you're so lame."

It's a pixelart screenshot. A blue-haired man with hair covering his left eye and wearing dark-purple robes turns angry towards the blue-haired kid: "Without me you'd still be grounded and aunt Leonore would force you to go to your violin lessons! So shut up!"

It's a pixelart screenshot. The blue-haired man with hair covering his left eye and wearing dark-purple robes continues: "Then just make up something new to try out, I don't care. You're the one wanting to become the world best evil mage, not me."
He has a very smug grin on his face.

We're also a bit worried bc we include themes regarding gender, queerness and sexwork (nothing graphic mind you), but don't want to compromise on any of that. Maybe I'll just sell burnt CDs at the street corner, who knows? 🫠

Shown is the interior of an ancient battle ship with two villains talking.
Warsmith Zapientus - a cybernetic daemon with an exposed brain - and Lazaar, Dark Messaiah and head of the extremist military cult Nigurath are having a talk about one of their allies.

Zapientus: "Why do we bother with this dull would-be prince?"

Zapientus: "Why don't we simply remove the prince?"

Lazaar: "Not everything in this world is as simplistic as your machines, old friend."
