The sight of it all, there's something... something appealing to it all. Makes you feel excited, makes you feel happy.
<span class="mu-b">"-hah... ahah! Ahahah! Ahahah-AHAHAHAAA!"</span>
You're not sure why but all this chaos and panic delights you, that you can't help laughing. Seeing the delicious results of your villainy play out in real time before you, victoriously poised above it all. Not the glee of an insane person but such delight from justice done, or what feels like justice to you. All these people, the sorts who spat on and trampled over you all your life. What comeuppance they never received before, you can rightfully give to them now and tenfold. It feels invigorating, it feels powerful... it feels liberating. It's only when you see a frightened crying child clinging to her father amid the panicked fleeing crowd, are you sobered from your frenzied glee. And a firework whizzing right past your head to hit and ignite the stage canopy, brings you back to the moment.

Midway through your villainous proclamation, the big metal stage overhang finally collapses after enough fallen flooring destabilizes it, causing the whole thing to smash down right on top of you in a terrible metal crash and eruption of dust and dirt into the air.

Through the debris and smoke you eventually manage to unstuck yourself from that ruined mess of a stage, a bit dazed from being crushed beneath the collapse but otherwise... mostly fine? Mostly. A normal person would have been dead for sure but your elastic resilience saved you fortunately enough. Some of your belongings were damaged and your clothes torn during the escape, but if you were severely injured then you wouldn't have made it out like this, and remaining active as you are.
