Sean smiled a perfect smile, with dazzlingly white, even teeth. "Thank you," he said. "I was just contemplating a test of my omnipotence, and now you have given me someone to test it on. Why, without you, I would have had no option but to test it on this bevy of beautiful, buxom maidens. Which is still a good idea, come to think of it, but now you can join them."
Kat, suddenly uncertain, started backing away. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Sean's perfect grin got wider. "You aren't omniscient, I see, whether or not you're omnipotent, or you'd have tumbled to the idea a lot quicker than that. Not that you can be omnipotent either, of course, at least not in the way I'm omnipotent!"
The women in the harem started giggling. "We're ready!" they cried. "Oh, do us, Sean! Do us all!"
"Let us demonstrate your omnipotence!" one demanded.
"Yes," said another. "Let us prove ourselves worthy of your divine seed!"
"Knock us all up!" begged a third.
"Oh no . . ." Kat was beginning to get the picture.
"But oh, how rude of me," Sean said, advancing on her. "You asked me a question, didn't you? You wanted to know how I can be omnipotent when you are. Surely that's not so hard to figure out. I'm omnipotent because ^_^ decreed it, and you're omnipotent because you were before. There's nothing in the Addventure rules that decrees two people can't be omnipotent at once. Possibly ^_^ only intended me to be, but since he didn't explicitly write you out of the story when he redefined it, and someone who's omnipotent can hardly be disposed of without such an explicit statement, I'm afraid you're stuck here . . . with me . . ."
Kat continued to back away, suddenly very afraid.
