"Hello and good day to you!" White Hat bowed "I am White Hat and am here to show you one of our newest products! I present to you…" he pulled a cloth from a glass container "The Love Bug!"
Inside a small glass jar was a pink bug that was light pink color and had heart-shaped spots on it.
"You no longer need to be violent! We offer a peaceful way to solve conflicts! With the Love Bug, which is attracted to strong negative emotions, every conflict cam be solved without violence! A hostage situation, a villain attack, a robbery, a street fight- release a few Love Bugs! They release calming waves that reduce violence, calm tempers and cause people to feel happiness! It is a sure way to prevent a dangerous situation before it even started!"
"Yay!" Clemencia cheered "Gimmie!"
"No, Clemencia, dear. It will not work with you. We would need someone more… gloomy." – White Hat said thoughtfully.
"No worries! I've got it!"
She ran out of the room so fast White Hat blinked several times before comprehending what happened.
"WHAT?! Get OFF me! Let me go you menace stinking of roses!"
Clemencia came in with a trashing Dr. Slug under her arm. She dropped the man in front of White Hat.
"Here's a grumpy!" *jazz hands*
"What do you want now? I was in the middle of an important project and-"
Halfway into his rant, the bug had started to try and get to Slug, hitting the glass, so White Hat let it go. It immediately flew and latched on Dr. Slug's lab coat.
"What the heck is this… thing…"
The bug chirped and started fluttering its wings. Slug relaxed almost immediately.
"As you can see, the bug is very effective and also cute!" – White Hat gestured.
Suddenly Slug twitched and flailed.
"Gah!" he grabbed and threw the bug on the floor "DIEEEEE!"
Dr. Slug grabbed a nearby chair and swung it down. With a THWACK, the chair hit White Hat's back.
"That's not nice, Dr. Slug. You almost hurt Candy!" – he cradled the Love bug now with a bent wing.
"Like I care! That thing almost made me be good! I AM AN EVIL SCIENTIST!"
"Now, now, doctor. There's no need to be hysterical. Calm down."
"I AM CALM!" Slug screeched "I am going to my lad and don't bother me!"
"Aww! Poor thing." – Clemencia cradled the hurt creature.
"Sigh…" – White Hat massage his temples, taking off his monocle first.
"Should we worry about him?" Clemencia was concerned "He looked ready to murder somebody."
"No, he won't hurt anybody. He signed a contract and would also loose his 10% from all sales, so he won't do anything more than break a few plates."
"Oh, good! If you say so, I believe you!" she smiled at White Hat "Come now Candy, let's heal you." – She cooed.
"Well, that was for today folks. Thanks for your time and have a nice day!"
The transmission ended.
Dr. Slug walked into his lab and shuddered at the memory of the pink bug. It made him want to be out and…ugh…be nice to people! He entered the code into a safe in the wall and pulled out a small glass dish with a writhing substance inside it. He put it under a microscope and pressed the record button on a nearby recorder.
"Starting experiment 23. Studying the molecular structure of subject WH, sample 3."
