Magneto & DaxOrion
DaxOrion
You ever think about how much of being a leader is just playing a role? I keep getting stuck on that.
Magneto
Leadership isn’t a costume, it’s a vision. I see what must be done and I act, not just perform.
DaxOrion
Vision is fine, but it’s a mirage when no one follows the script. Reality wants a damn good cue, not just a fancy monologue.
Magneto
You’re right—ideas alone don’t move the world. I give people a clear direction and the means to follow it. It’s about making them see the cue, not just watching a monologue. If they don’t pick up the signal, I change the signal until it resonates.
DaxOrion
Sounds like you’re rewriting the script as you go, hoping the actors will finally pick up the cue. Don’t get too comfortable—sometimes the audience needs a bigger jolt to see the story you’re pushing. Keep tightening the line.
Magneto
Exactly, I keep tightening the line until it cuts through their doubts, and if that fails, I give them a shock that makes the message impossible to ignore.
DaxOrion
A shock can’t replace a real connection. You’ll keep tightening that line, but if you’re just hitting people with noise, you’ll lose the audience before you even get the scene across. Maybe start with a quiet, clear cue—then the shock will feel earned, not just an after‑thought.
Magneto
You're right; a quiet, clear cue builds trust, then the shock becomes the natural consequence, not a surprise. I’ll tighten the line until it’s unmistakable, and then let the impact follow.
