horrible people get
WHO: HANS and MAX LORD
WHERE: City Hall
WHEN: 4/21, early afternoon
WHAT: They be like smooth (what) can you teach me how to mind control?
WARNINGS: Mind control/persuasion powers in full effect, horrible people?
One of the problems with having a government job, Hans was starting to find, was paperwork. There was so much paperwork to do and Hans was starting to dislike it. The fact that he was one of the lower rungs of city government and thus couldn't pass it off to somebody else was equally annoying.
At least, he didn't have someone underneath him he could directly pass it off to. So, in a relatively empty hallway, Hans found an intern who looked like she needed something to do. "I really hate to be a bother," Hans said, kicking the charm power into full gear, apologetic smile on his face, "but could you make some copies of these? I've written down what needs to be copied how much and it would be such a help if you could do that for me." The intern's expression shifted from something grumpy to a small little mollified smile as she took the papers. "Oh you're the best," Hans called out, as the intern headed out to make all the copies.
It's obvious that Hans needed to work a bit more on the subtle uses of his power, especially if he was planning to keep it a secret. However, he had successfully managed to charm some people already (most notably Chilton, back at the dance) so he felt pretty good about the success of his power.
And then he noticed that Max Lord was there and had probably watched the whole encounter. Damn. Hans tried to smile it off, giving Max a wide grin, but not using his power (yet, at least.) "Max! I didn't expect to see you here today."

no subject
Mostly, it's quite to his benefit to be in the know about this sort of thing, but he doesn't say that. Hans doesn't need to know. Better the guy just be better informed about his powers than either of them needing to get caught up in the details.
