1.) Sex is never about anything but power with these two; namely, Sage’s power over Ask That Guy. Sage tops or keeps ATG on his knees, but when the latter situation is reversed Sage denies ATG an orgasm for as long as possible – he is always, always, in control. Later, That Other Girl is going to try and weasel her way in there, or bring Ask That Guy in with her and Sage, but for now, Sage uses sex to keep his “right-hand man” in line.
2.) Sage. He does have lovely hair.
3.) They don’t argue: any problems ATG has with Sage or the company, he keeps to himself, and with good reason.
4.) Sage. Oh, he’d be sad, but people are just playthings to him and he’d find another toy soon enough. Really, he’d be more upset about having to break in a whole new person than over Ask That Guy’s actual death.
5.) Sage moves on to bigger and better things, letting ATG take over the old company. Critic gets to finally live the dream of becoming his twin’s “trophy wife” and Chick “goes missing” not too long after ATG gets complete control. The video they make with her sells thousands of copies – it’s their best one yet, actually – and Ask That Guy and Sage toast each other from comfortable chairs in Sage’s new office.
6.) Sage moves on to bigger and better things. Ask That Guy never comes home from their last meeting.
7.) Sage being completely in his element is very interesting to see, and watching him out-creepify ATG is always, always fun. ;)
8.) Making it believable. There are limits even to Sage’s power/creepifying abilities and ATG's level of insanity, and while it would be easy to keep these two in character while going completely over the top in their regular incarnations, if I want to keep them realistic in this universe, I have tone them both down a lot.
