There was dead silence after Zero's pronouncement, eventually getting bored he sighed as he removed his helmet while pulling down the face mask, looking up into the spot lights he smirked before continuing,
"Really, you know everything about Geass? Well please, do enlighten me, that green haired bitch tornado neglected to give me a pamphlet on the ins and outs of this power so I'd love to know what you have to say on the subject." More silence, Lelouch swayed a bit unsteadily sighing again before Ohgi yelled out,
"We know that you used your Geass to force us into following you! You've been warping peoples wills to fulfill your whims, you're despicable!" The expected response, whatever it was, was more than likely not snorted giggling as Lelouch bent over holding his knees, after a few moments he stood up straight(ish) as he drunkedly tried to focus on the source of the voice.
"Despicable? This coming from the fool who used Stockholm Syndrome to shag an amnesiac Britannian soldier? Really?" Ohgi sputtered a few moments as Lelouch continued, "And don't bother giving me any excuses I have my own amnesiac hottie up in my room who keeps insisting I take my clothes off for her. I'm a red blooded Britannian teenager and I still resist her advances, what's your excuse?" Kallen chose this moment to speak up,
"It's true, C.C. lost her memory and well...regressed..." There was more whispering from the catwalk before Chiba yelled down,
"Kallen are you under his Geass!?" Lelouch interjected again at this point honestly more amused than not,
"Nagisa! Hey lemme just give you some advice dear Tohdoh-sensei has a stick up his arse that has a stick up its arse so just get him drunk and shag him senseless, that goofy samurai honor thing will guarantee that you net him for life." More sputtering, at this point Kallen herself was having a hard time keeping a straight face as she turned to Leouch who was grinning broadly obviously amused by his own statement.
"They do have guns aimed at us do recall," he shrugged in indifference,
"Honestly beyond the point of caring really besides they won't shoot me with you standing there, thanks by the way I care about you too," her cheeks reddened at that but Lelouch wasn't paying any attention to that as something caught his eye, "Schneizel! You cheeky little cob nobbler did you pull all this off for me? I'm touched really!" Kallen glanced up to the shadows that had gained her leaders attention and groaned loudly,
"Please don't tell me you guys are acting on information given to you by him, please I'd really like to think you had more common sense then to trust the Prime Minister of BLOODY FUCKING BRITANNIA's word," there was more uncomfortable silence before Lelouch clapped loudly gaining everyone's attention once again.
"I know! Lets play a game, it's called 'Who did Schneizel purposely leave out of this conspiracy and why,' *ahem* Xingake you up there you big lug? I know you've got it out for me after the whole kidnapping the Tianzi deal...no? Rakshata you beautiful sociopath I'm sure you're just waiting to cut my head open to figure out how my Geass works...hello?"
He comically cupped a hand behind his ear before shrugging once, smirking now while dropping his voice into a sultry tone that did...things to Kallen's stomach he slowly drawled out, "Kaguya baby I know you want yourself a piece of Zero and don't think I forgot about that crush you had on me as kids...nope, nothing? Well we already know Kallen is here so where does that leave us?"
Lifting his hand up he began marking off fingers as he made each point, "No tactical genius general who has to be analytical to do his job, no brilliant engineer whose reliance on the scientific method would naturally demand more data, no brilliant industrialist who managed to hold Kyoto together despite being fifteen and most of all no Kallen. Who incidentally, outside of mister Reed over there was the only person in this room who didn't get herself captured at the end of the last rebellion and had to have their arse saved by me when you were going to be executed. Recent capture not withstanding that was due to a dead battery which I still blame Ohgi for."
Lelouch was on a roll and he knew it, dramatically sweeping his hands to the sides he laughed a bit as he finished his argument, "SO! Since Schneizel purposely left all the critical thinkers out of this little shindig we're stuck with honorable stupid," he pointed at Tohdoh earning himself a growl, "paranoid stupid," he gestured towards Ohgi, "and just plain stupid," he finished this off by waving a dismissive hand at Tamaki who of course blew up.
After a rant neither of those on the ground level paid attention to Lelouch turned to Kallen smirking slightly, "So since one of you is here now, Kallen love would you please make the observation that completely derails Schneizel's entire argument?" Rolling her eyes she turned back to the catwalk while replying,
"If Lelouch was controlling all of you with Geass, how are you capable of betraying him and working with his brother to perform this coup?" Dead. Silence. Lelouch's laughter echoed through the hanger as Kallen shook her head slowly, "God he's right, you're all fucking idiots.
