[osreborn]

[ Hiss. ]

I think those terms will do just fine.

call;

[enigmaestro]

It's your secrecy funeral.

call;

[osreborn]

I don't think so.

But you'll find out in due time regardless.

call;

[enigmaestro]

Oh, you would like to believe that, wouldn’t you? [Yet, there’s a noted lack of falsehooding.] I'm hardly keen to play your more fanciful games, Norman.

call;

[osreborn]

Just the violent ones?

call;

[enigmaestro]

You shine so brightly with those. Can you blame me?

call;

[osreborn]

No. Those are my favorites.

call;

[enigmaestro]

Yes, well, obviously I prefer you on the receiving end of them.

call;

[osreborn]

That isn't how I play.

call;

[enigmaestro]

And there's your new resolution for the year: try new things.

call;

[osreborn]

Mm. I don't think I like that one.

call;

[enigmaestro]

I'm not giving you a choice.

call;

[osreborn]

I don't need you to.

call;

[enigmaestro]

But you'll need me for something.

call;

[osreborn]

That's the idea. You do owe me.

call;

[enigmaestro]

I owe you something of equal value, yes. As if flattering you with acknowledgement of your chemical prowess wasn't price enough.

call;

[osreborn]

Hardly enough. Anyone can be flattering when they need something.

call;

[enigmaestro]

I mean flattering you, in particular, is painful.

call;

[osreborn]

I know. Desperation really suits you.

call;

[enigmaestro]

As if I needed to delve into your fetishes.

call;

[osreborn]

Accept the compliment.

call;

[enigmaestro]

Yes sir, Mr. Osborn sir.

call;

[osreborn]

Good. I like that.

call;

[enigmaestro]

You're not supposed to take something sarcastically delivered sincerely.

call;

[osreborn]

Too late.
