"Alright," I said, taking a deep breath to clear my mind of hateful and negative thoughts. "My first order as leader is to..."
Everyone was listening attentively to what their brave new leader was about to say.
"We should..." I began. "We should... um..." Drat, being leader was harder than I thought. "...I dunno, draw on the chalkboard or something."
Fawriel let out a yelp of sheer delight, but Shuriken and L33tz4n stared at me like I was... well, like I was Uberbob. Fawriel ran over to the chalkboard and began drawing anime girls with a look of unparalleled joy on his face. L33tz4n and Shuri glanced at each other, then shuffled over to the chalkboard as well. There was only one piece of chalk, which Faw was still using, but they didn't seem particularly interested in drawing anyway.
I ran my thoughts over in my head a few times. Why did I give that order? What is it about being leader that does this to people? How did Fooruman figure out the X, Y and Z coordinates of Unfooruman's lair to save Shuri and L33tz4n? My mind was riddled with questions. Uberbob continued to lie on the floor, no doubt dreaming about chasing trout. It might have been cute if I had had something in my heart for him other than utter contempt, which I didn't.
