How to mess with Danny Rand
So here it goes, you’re Alexandra, the head of the most powerful and private organization in the world hanging out in your office catching up on Game of Thrones when you get a call from security saying that a visitor is demanding to speak to the CEO. You check the security cam and see Danny Rand, the troublesome immortal Iron first and key to saving your quickly shortening but immensely long life.
What do you do when a crazy ex business partner who can mess with your plans of world domination and immortality demands a meeting?
Step 1: Be a good host
Send your guest to a luxurious waiting room, make sure the heat is up to keep it comfortable. Have plenty of salty snacks and plenty of delicious beverages available.
Step 2: Call Security
As you are about to meet with an unstable competitor with a vengeance you can’t very well put your employees in danger, the important ones anyway. Instead you grab your most respectable looking security officers and a few interns, put them in nice suits, sit them around a conference table and voila.Throw in a couple of notebooks to realism.
Step 3: Enter the guest
Guide your guest to the boardroom but don’t worry about keeping them waiting a little extra. They didn’t have an appointment after all. Make sure to avoid the restrooms. Bring them into the boardroom.
Step 4: The game begins
Have all board members stare awkwardly at guest. Ensure that the guest speaks first – POWER MOVE!
Step 5: Interrupt
Watch from sidelines and right as your guest gets to the point sneak in and grab his arm familiarly. Leave your hand on him just long enough for it to become uncomfortable then allow him to continue.
Step 7: You own him now!
Take a seat at the table like you own it and enjoy knowing that all the restrooms are on lockdown.
Marvel’s The Defenders: on Netflix August 18th.
