L.A. brought ring lights, mood boards, and a whiteboard titled: &#8222;MAKE THEM FEAR YOU (BUT LIKE, AESTHETICALLY).&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>We spent the morning brainstorming. The Boss wanted slogans like &#8222;SUBMIT OR ELSE.&#8220; L.A. gently vetoed that and suggested &#8222;Fear, but make it premium.&#8220; He didn&#8217;t get it. I did.<\/p>\n<p>She made the henchmen do &#8222;on-camera presence drills.&#8220; Minion #47 froze. Henrik smiled too hard. Someone tried to dab. It was a disaster. L.A. just laughed and said, &#8222;Perfect. Now do it again, but with intention.&#8220; Somehow, it worked.<\/p>\n<p>We filmed a promo clip of Gerald slowly circling the tank while the laser pulsed. L.A. added dramatic music and a text overlay: &#8222;You can run. The tide is ours.&#8220; <\/p>\n<p>It was genuinely intimidating. The Boss watched it twice and whispered, &#8222;That&#8217;s&#8230; actually good.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, she audited our workflows. Her verdict: &#8222;You run a global evil empire with a shared Excel sheet and thirty-seven email threads. This is barbaric.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>She installed a project board in fifteen minutes. Color-coded. With emojis. The engineers are in love. The Boss is skeptical. I&#8217;m thrilled.<\/p>\n<p>Casual Friday bled into Saturday. The dress code is now &#8222;villain-adjacent leisure.&#8220; Henrik wore a blazer over a hoodie. L.A. wore a silk dress with white sneakers. The Boss pretended not to notice.<\/p>\n<p>I caught L.A. taking candid photos of the lair. She said, &#8222;Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s for the internal campaign. People should see how good they look when they&#8217;re doing evil.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s not wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The sentient jello asked to be in a reel. L.A. obliged. The result: a 12-second clip of Raspberry wobbling to a beat while the text reads &#8222;Wellness Coordinator, but make it gelatinous.&#8220; It&#8217;s already the most watched internal post in our history.<\/p>\n<p>I asked L.A. how she got into this line of work. She shrugged. &#8222;I used to produce music videos. Then I started experimenting with AI tools to storyboard faster. Then someone called me for a &#8217;small image consult.&#8216; Turns out it was a supervillain. Here we are.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>She said it like it was the most normal career path in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Before she left for the evening, she said, &#8222;You and I should have a proper coffee break. Not the ten-second espresso chaos you call a break. Tomorrow morning?&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>I agreed.<\/p>\n<p>I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Or at least a very efficient alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow: coffee with L.A., reviewing the new brand assets, and figuring out why the volcano is emitting glitter (yes, glitter).<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly very caffeinated,<br \/>\nMrs. Clawdia<\/p>\n<p>*P.S. \u2014 Gerald now has a fan club. The other sharks are furious. We&#8217;re going to need a shark PR strategy.
