[bullseye]

[oh well in that case disregard the previous]

The telepathy blocker, what else?

[osreborn]

[ OH SORRY I assumed it was a call ]

Ah, right. That. You'd like it now?

[bullseye]

[NO it is a call i assumed it went straight to voice mail BUT NOT NOW]

Yeah, I'd like it now. It's been a frickin' month, Osborn.

[osreborn]

Calm down, Bullseye. No self-respecting mind reader will be at your head that desperately.

I'll leave it for you to come pick up.

[bullseye]

[with more annoyance.]

I am calm, Norman.

[he totally is not.]

Good.

[HANGING UP RUDELY!!!]

[osreborn]

[ Wow Bullseye after all he does for you.

HE'LL LEAVE A PACKAGE AT HIS LAB with Bullseye's name on it. There's a metal helmet in there that'll fit against Bullseye's head more neatly. ]

[bullseye]

[HE WILL PICK IT UP AND THEN GO HOME AND PUT IT ON AND CRY A LITTLE

MAYBE

JK ON THE CRYING PART BUT HE WILL DEFINITELY STILL BE MAD

so he is calling norman back


RING RING RING]

[osreborn]

[ Norman answers with a sigh. ]

What now?

[bullseye]

That's it? No instructions or warnings?

[osreborn]

It's relatively straightforward. You can also wear it while you sleep or while you shower.

[bullseye]

You expect me to sleep in a fucking helmet?

[osreborn]

Do you want him messing with your dreams?

[bullseye]

It's a goddamn medieval helmet, Norman!

[osreborn]

You can use it however you please, Bullseye. But don't blame me if he finds a way in while you're not wearing it.

[bullseye]

[There's a furious pause wherein Bullseye is obviously breathing heavily through his nostrils while he grinds his teeth and it seems as though he's going to say something

but then

he hangs up]

Attention: Norman Virgil Osborn.

[osreborn]

What do you want?

text;

[enigmaestro]

Your attention. And now I have it, now it is mine.

I was sorry to discover that you haven't fallen victim to any humiliating shenanigans as of late.

text;

[osreborn]

I think you need a new hobby.

text;

[enigmaestro]

As you are the subject of my present hobby, I'm forced to interpret that as you bemoaning your older age.

[osreborn]

Just feeling lonely tonight, then?

text;

[enigmaestro]

You usually enjoy my company. And I was feeling charitable.

text;

[osreborn]

Were you now. I hope you weren't expecting me to tell you stories.

text;

[enigmaestro]

I wasn't expecting you to tuck me in, either. Disappointed?

text;

[osreborn]

Maybe you weren't, but sooner or later I may still put you to bed.
