I think you overestimate how subtle your influence is, actually. [ though kaiser is certainly biased on that... ] Not that I'd consider subtlety very important when it comes to influencing others, to be honest. And, at least for me, it's probably something of a lost cause.

[ the last subtle thing he did was gaslight a kid into becoming his slave puppy and that was fairly obvious to most people around him over time, so that ship has probably already sailed, ahem. copping a fake extrovert personality has once again come back to bite kaiser in this aspect, but he doesn't mind too much either way. there's advantages to leaving his fingerprints on his handiwork, he feels. also, once again he has to reflect upon how he's made all of this harder on himself by leaving bastard munchen, where all of this would've been much more straightforward than the minefield that is re al. oops! ]

... I'm not saying this to complain, but I feel that this all shouldn't be necessary in the first place. [ everybody needs to just... get on the grindset!! ]
