[WP] You cough up fluid as you wake up floating in a tube, slowly draining. The glass walls around you slide away, and you're freed.

[WP] You are surprised when your plan goes off without a hitch. The hero was supposed to stop you. You start to get very self-conscious. Was the scheme not exciting enough? Are you getting stale? Too soon after last time? Why didn't they show up?	100
[WP] You gaze through the windshield, sighing. "...Are you still mad?" The GPS comes to life. "...In a quarter mile, take Exit 14 to Hell." You try not to roll your eyes. It's not like you bought the wrong kind of fuel on purpose. You're a human. Not everyone has the luxury of being artificial.	99
