- Monocavy Theater! -

Monocavy: Hello and good morning, everyone!

Monocavy: Welcome back to the killing game that you all know and love!

Monocavy: That last murder was pretty fun, wasn't it?

Monocavy: Puhuhu!

Monocavy: I'll provide even more fun and amusement if you stay tuned!

Monocavy: So, please, don't worry about my subordinate's questionable behavior.

Monocavy: She may be brash and reckless at times, but I promise, her heart's in the right place.

Monocavy: Puhuhuhuhu!

Monocavy: Anyway, let's get back on topic.

Monocavy: After our last theater, you may be wondering:

Monocavy: Monocavy, if physical power is so useless, then why don't you just go for the other two forms of power?

Monocavy: I mean, social and monetary power are pretty damn strong.

Monocavy: Right?

Monocavy: Ehhh... no.

Monocavy: They're not all that valuable either.

Monocavy: They're certainly better to have than physical power in our modern era.

Monocavy: But they're only really desirable by fools.

Monocavy: And I am no fool. So I don't care for them.

Monocavy: And today, I'm going to explain why you shouldn't either.

Monocavy: Starting with social power, the far weaker of the two.

Monocavy: Ahh... social power.

Monocavy: After I realized that physical power was worthless, I thought to gain myself as much social power as I could.

Monocavy: I mean, why wouldn't I, right? That's where all the true strength lies in the modern world.

Monocavy: Presidents, Oligarchs, Supreme Dictators... if I could become one of those people, surely, I'd gain all the power I wanted.

Monocavy: Little did I know, though, it wasn't that simple. Things never are.

Monocavy: Because eventually I learned that social power is as fickle as it is strong.

Monocavy: Blown away in the wind by the slightest disturbance, and out of your grasp forever.

Monocavy: What do I mean by this, you may ask?

Monocavy: In response, I would tell you: look around.

Monocavy: Look around at all the big public figures in the world.

Monocavy: Look how their power vanishes the instant they're involved in the slightest controversy.

Monocavy: A celebrity who may have once amassed a devout fan base could lose everything after being accused of a crime.

Monocavy: Regardless if the accusation is even true!

Monocavy: And if enough people get sick of their nation's leader, you can look at history to see what happens to them.
