And Mob smiled.

He looked upon the old man, drooling and under his control completely. He stepped outside, under the full moon, where he had ordered his loyal men to wait, twenty in all, and his second in command, Miller. Miller had been the one who acquired the mushrooms for Mob, and exactly where he had gotten them was beyond him, but they did the job they had to, so he didn't complain.

"I see you've arrived here on time, Miller" Smiled Mob

"As always, I wouldn't want to keep the end of the world waiting, would I?" Replied the equally evil associate.

"You've got enough of those mushroom things, have you?"

"To take over several cities, for sure. By that point we'll be strong enough to take over the rest of the world by force."

"Excellent, everything's coming together as planned. Let's head into the city then"

And with that said, the contingent of doom headed into the metropolis, where the large populace of Dhaka was residing. Within hours Mob had broken through every door, dungeon and deserted alleyway, and to the accompaniment of horrified and confused faces he turned every citizen to his will. By the time morning come Mob was the undisputed leader of the Dhakan Hive Mind, also known as the Scourge.

But one thing vexed Mob greatly. As we all know, the Gay Trade is the highest valued trade in Asia, what with Gay people being unquestionably the best type of worker to have. Since China has the best climate for gay breeding, most of the trade originates from the Song, and eventually flows downstream in Dhaka, which is the greatest trading hub in India. This is why Mob chose this of all places to expand from, but to his horror there was not one homosexual.

Not a single one.

Mob was doomed. Somehow, something happened that depleted Dhaka's gay resources, and since he was going to war with mostly everyone there wouldn't be enough trade to replaced those that had disappeared. This was truly a devastating situation to be in, and in earnest Mob decided there could only be one thing to be done.

If he couldn't get the trade through peacefully, he'd have to take it through war.
