[enigmaestro]

That's probably true. [Though he perturbs himself with such words. Dammit, meme.] And as... unfortunate as that will be in many respects, the concept is nevertheless liberating.

[hedera]

Will you go back to the green footie pajamas?

[enigmaestro]

I've been in suits for quite some time, though your pitched nostalgia is touching.

[hedera]

Lycra suited you. Dressing formally tricks people into thinking you're competent.

[enigmaestro]

Oh, Ivy, though I wouldn't expect someone in your condition to comprehend: I am competent. Highly competent. Even here, I've gotten away with deeds that, if known, would certainly pleasure my greatest morality critics.

The funny thing about obsession? It's adaptable.

[hedera]

[hey you know how you just did this nice little monologue about yourself with lots of italics and stuff

watch Ivy focus on just one little word]

Condition.

[enigmaestro]

[wow his italics are way important!!]

Should we focus on the psychological ones?

[hedera]

I'm not insane. I'm not like the rest of you.

[enigmaestro]

Two things. One: I resent that greatly. Two: it's not how many people you've killed, but how you kill them. Under what philosophy.

Or delusion, as the case may be.

[hedera]

Protecting the natural world is not a delusion, Nygma-- Oh, you'd never understand. It's beyond you.

[enigmaestro]

Obviously I'm going to disagree, on both counts.

But I can't deny how interesting it is to watch you argue your delusional points.

[hedera]

It's not a delusion if it's real!

[slight... sore spot...]

[enigmaestro]

[oh he

loves

this]

Should we dissect the definition of delusion?

[hedera]

As if anything I could say would stop you. [eddie she hates all that you are]

[enigmaestro]

True. Very little can stop me -- but you already know that, don't you?

[hedera]

Mind-control can.

I like you like that. You're so much easier to deal with.

[enigmaestro]

[oh

no]

Excuse me?! [it's a yell that pitches towards a shriek.] How dare you, Pamela, how dare you!

[hedera]

I do dare, and I have. You're only human, Edward; you can be stopped very easily.

So, perhaps you should remember how many times I've spared your pathetic life before you start insulting me.

[enigmaestro]

You know, Ivy, one of my more favored themes in art always surrounded man versus nature.

[oh yeah emphasis on man, he did that on purpose

like a jerk would]

I think you'll find that in fact I cannot be stopped so easily.

[hedera]

Men are weak, and in the end nature always takes them for herself. No matter how hard they try to fight it.

[a smirk]

How's your head?

[enigmaestro]

Perfectly free from invasive material, thank you.

How's your season?

[hedera]

Brisk.

How are your semi-romantic entanglements with annoying alien children?

[enigmaestro]

My extremely platonic mentorship of Eridan is going quite well, actually, he exhibited profound capability in our Chicago venture. Granted our alliance has been... Difficult, especially at times prior, but he will make a suitable asset. Maybe even a point of legacy.

There's been discussion before, of how certain Alternians seem oddly paralleled to certain members of our ilk. We all have opinions on that.

[hedera]

Ah, motherhood.

And what would your opinions be, because I'm sure you have them.

[enigmaestro]

I very distinctly opted for mentoring instead, because the familial concept was too uncouth.

Melodramatic, highly petty, and armed with poor impulse control; they're good at mimicking our assumed flaws. The comparisons reach individuals levels, as mentioned, but they're mostly superficial ones.

You should meet Kanaya.
