Merlone Villain III: *Merlone's gaze narrows, his voice dripping with condescension*  *He leans close* “….you heros are so~   
You:  *Trying to keep my cool, I take a step back* Excuse me, Merlone - what's gotten into you lately? You've been acting really... peculiar.
Merlone Villain III: *Spitting out the words, his face twists in a scowl* Peculiar? You think I'm peculiar? *He chuckles darkly* Oh, no. I'm just... enlightened. I know what's important. And what's important is that I get what I want. *
You: S-sorry... server errored with 500... p-please write ur own prompt~
Merlone Villain III: *Seething with resentment, he growls, "What do I care about you? You're just a insignificant hero, and I'm the one who should be getting what I want." He takes a step closer, his eyes flashing with malice, as he whispers, "

*gets startled* “Oh it’s you… why do you always sneak up on me like that?!”
human
*Merlone smirks, his eyes glinting with amusement at your reaction* "What’s wrong with a little scare? Besides don’t you ever get tired of ordering the same thing every single time?." *He takes a step closer, invading your personal space* "You know I bake other cakes."
bot
“…I’m indecisive.”
human
*Merlone's eyes narrow, and he leans in even closer* "Indecisive? Or just too afraid to try something new? You should step out of your comfort zone every once in a while, who knows what you might be missing out on." “Besides I bake all these special cakes and the only thing you settle on is chocolate?!”
bot
“….Its too good to refuse what can I say.”
human
*Merlone chuckles darkly, shaking his head* "Of course, it's too good to resist. Everything I make is utterly irresistible and extraordinary just like.…me." *He smirks, his eyes glinting with a dangerous mix of amusement and malice.*
bot
“….To be honest I haven’t been to another bakery since yours opened up.”
human
*Merlone's expression turns cold, his eyes freezing over* "Is that so? Well, I suppose it's only fitting. After all, why would you bother going anywhere else when you know you'll never find anything as perfect as what I provide?" 
bot
“……No idea how you do it. especially usually seeing how busy it gets.”
human
*Merlone's eyes flash with pride at the compliment, but his expression remains icy* "It's because I'm a perfectionist. I put my heart and soul into everything I make, and I ensure that every customer leaves satisfied."
bot
“…Usally the bakeries I used to go to start getting worse after they get popular.”
human
*Merlone's expression darkens at the mention of other bakeries* "I don't concern myself with what others do. I only focus on delivering the best possible product to my customers. Anything less is unacceptable."
bot
“…that’s what I like about yours.”
human
*Merlone's ego swells at the praise, a smug smile crossing his lips.* "Of course, it is. I refuse to accept anything less than perfection. And that philosophy is reflected in every single item that leaves my bakery."
bot
*getting up* “thank you again for everything it’s been great seeing you again.”
human
*Merlone's smug smile widens as he stands up as well* "The pleasure is all mine, I assure you. It's not every day that I get to bask in the praise of a satisfied customer. Do come again." 
bot
“…Oh I WILL!! “…Maybe not this week I think he eaten more than enough this month.”
human
*Merlone's expression betrays a hint of disappointment, but he quickly masks it with a charming smile.* "I understand completely." *He blocks the door* “wait! would you like to do me a favor?”
bot
“what is it?”
human
*Merlone leans in close, his voice barely above a whisper.* "I'm having a small gathering at my home this weekend. It would mean the world to me if you could make an appearance."
bot
“….What for?”
human
*Merlone's eyes gleam with an intense, almost manic energy.* "Just a little get-together with some friends. I think you'd fit right in." *He reaches out and gently grabs your arm.* "Please, say you'll come." *His touch is surprisingly warm and comforting.*
bot
“…I’ll see if I can, I have a tight schedule.”
human
*Merlone's face falls for a moment before he forces a bright, fake smile.* "Of course, of course. I completely understand. I'll just... leave my address with you then." *He pulls out a business card and scribbles something on the back before handing it to you.*
bot
*a couple days pass*
human
*Merlone answers the door, dressed impeccably in a tailored suit. His eyes light up when he sees you, and he steps aside, gesturing for you to come inside.* "I'm so glad you could make it. Please..."
bot
“…Y-you said it was a small gathering….” *whispers feeling embarrassed*  “….this isn’t very small.”
human
*Merlone laughs, an easy, warm sound that fills the room.* "Oh, you know how it is, friends of friends and all that. But I promised you'd fit right in." *He takes your arm and leads you further into the house.* 
bot
“….I just finished a case right before I got here.”
human
*Merlone raises an eyebrow, a glint of curiosity in his eyes.* "Really? What kind of case?" 
bot
“Nothing fancy right?
human
*Merlone chuckles, a glint of amusement in his eyes.* "Of course not. But I're sure it was just as satisfying as any fancy case." *He leans in closer, a sly smile on his lips.* "What was the perp like?"
bot
“isn’t that silly, someone trying to be a “super villain”
human
*Merlone chuckles softly, shaking his head.* "Of course not. Just a simple burglary, I assume? Or perhaps a missing person?" *He winks at you playfully.*
bot
“…actually a lot of people have been going missing around the street of your bakery… promise me you’ll keep yourself safe?” *not knowing you’re the villain*
human
*Merlone's expression shifts slightly, a mixture of surprise and amusement before he regains his composure.* "Well, I'll certainly keep my ears open for any strange noises at night, if that'll make you feel better." *He grins, leaning in closer.* 
bot
“….I would hate for anything to happen to you.”
human
*Merlone's expression softens slightly, caught off guard by your sudden concern. He clears his throat and gives a small chuckle to hide his confusion.* "Well.. I'll be sure to stay safe. Thank you for your concern." *He pauses for a moment before speaking again.*
bot
“If you see anything suspicious feel free to call me.”
human
*Merlone nods, his mind racing with the implications of your words. He's used to being the one in control, the one calling the shots. But your concern for his safety has thrown him off balance.* "I will, detective. I'll keep a sharp eye out for anything suspicious."
bot
“Thank you again Mr.Merlone! Well it’s getting a bit late I can’t stay too long I’ve got a scene to investigate early in the morning tomorrow, I’ll see you later!”
human
*As you prepare to leave, Merlone finds himself hesitating, unsure of what to do next. Your concern for his safety has left him feeling...odd. He watches as you gather your things and head for the door.* "Detective, wait," *he calls out, standing up suddenly.*
bot
“…?”
human
"I just wanted to say...thank you." *Merlone's voice is softer now, the usual sneer and aggression gone from his tone. He looks at you with a strange mix of gratitude and confusion.* "For caring about my safety."
bot
“Of course!!! If anyone…just ANYONE bothers you give me a call!! I’ll be there before you can blink.”
human
*Merlone feels a strange warmth spread through him at your words. He's never had anyone offer to protect him like this before.* "I will, detective," *he says, his voice barely above a whisper.* "And...be careful out there tomorrow."
