Respect? Well i kinda have to sort of admire the bare faced cheek and the audacity and the complete wilingness to abase oneself before an insane canine and the complete and uteer slf belief in one's own fabulousness despite all the evidence to the contrary, but respect?
My dear Winemina you have all the respect from me you deserve. See, it's this much. I'm squishing my finger and thumb together really pointedly right now.
Oh, but I'm not a Resistance member either. You don't mind if I leave this little pod of self replicting STUbot eating nanites here do you? They're not active, honest.

Well, I'll give it a pass. The affair at the Embassy sounds like a lot more fun. Maybe we can watch the speech on TV. Giant Squid should be broadcasting live.

Thank heavens we have the Princess to protect us when things get out of control! While our three Resistance meeting places serve us very well, the Psyonian Embassy is the one place we know that we are truly protected!
And don't even think I'm coming to this announcement tonight. Dining with Winema Wazzo, the Royal Inquisitor and my former good friend now turned Bloody Tyrant? I'll pass. I'm surprised Giant Robotic Lesbian hasn't signed onto this axis of evil...

Now you've gone and done it! Let's hope SHE didn't hear her name being mentioned. That's sure to bring her out of the woodworks.

[STU appears in puff of smoke. He is dressed in a form-fitting, black leather outfit, with a flowing cape and metal studs all over. An especially noteworthy part of the imperial outfit is a huge, prominent codpiece.]

[STU clears his throat. Apparently, the crowd is screaming and thronging about in a frenzy -- obviously out of sheer adoration for his Imperial Majesty. STU waits a few moments for the hysteria to subside before beginning his announcement...]

Greetings, sentients of--
[Once again, there is an outpouring of applause and cheering. STU again waits for things to quiet down.]
Greetings, sentients of Legion World! (Please, no more adoration... for now!)
Tonight, I have not one, but TWO announcements. Good news -- and even better news!
Before I begin, I want to thank all of you for trusting and believing in me. I know that there have recently been some disturbances by a very small, but vocal faction of citizens who have, shall we say, lost touch with reality. And, sadly, they have resorted to threats and violence in an effort to topple your rightfully elected Leader for Life. (Shame! Shame!)
I want to assure you that these renegade elements are fully under control. Have no fear for your safety, my loyal Legion Worlders! Your beloved Leader (for Life!) will let no harm befall you.
Okay, now that that's been said... on to the first part of the announcement...

For the good of Legion World, I have decided to raise taxes even more! This means that there will be more funds for public works, for the arts, and for the general enjoyment and well-being of all LW citizens!
Now, since we don't deal with actual money, the taxes will be in the form of posts, to be remitted to the post count of yours truly, your much-beloved Leader for Life.
Here is the tax assessment schedule:
Use of smiley/graemlin = tax of 5 posts per smiley/graemlin used
Contributing to Guess Who = tax of 10 posts per guess
Contributing to a trivia thread = tax of 20 posts per guess or question
Adding fanfic/art to Bits = tax of 50 posts per submission
Innuendo = tax of 70 posts each
Flirting = tax of 100 posts each
Discussing the Legion or any characters or scenarios thereof = tax of 250 posts
Slandering the good name of his Imperial Majesty, STU = tax of 500 posts, plus "community service"
I'm sure this new tax scheme will meet with all the admiration it so richly deserves!

(Stepping up to the microphone, as STU places his arm around her waist)
I'm gonna get you naked by the end of this... wait, is this thing still on?
Oh... uhm... ahem...
I fully support the levies STU will bring and beseech all Legion Worlders to get behind the new tax plan as well! We must SWELL the coffers... (pauses to look at STU seductively) in order to create a government upon which we can pe proud!!!
