[osreborn]

It just wouldn't feel like my birthday without your jokes.

[enigmaestro]

You're not a follower of destiny, are you? Self-made man, right?

[osreborn]

That's right. Destiny doesn't mean much without hard work behind it.

[enigmaestro]

You must have worked so hard as to impress fate itself.

[osreborn]

I don't think of it in those terms.

It's simply working for what I want.

[enigmaestro]

"Those born on the illustrious day of October 25th are highly active individuals invested in their own imaginations. They are ageless, extending beyond the scope of mere years."

Huh, delusional and old. Sounds about right.

[osreborn]

Are you citing astrology at me?

[enigmaestro]

"October 25th children are also obstinate, ungrateful, and likely schizophrenic."

[osreborn]

Oh, no. You're making up astrology at me.

[enigmaestro]

I'm the messenger, Norman.

[osreborn]

Messenger of what?

[enigmaestro]

Of your birthday wishes, obviously!

Did you know when you were my age, I was twelve?

[osreborn]

That's right. You're about Harry's age.

[enigmaestro]

And yet light years more competent. Must be a parental thing.

[osreborn]

I don't think so. My father wasn't particularly capable, and I'm a successful, genius scientist worth several million.

Who knows what went wrong with Harry.

[enigmaestro]

Answer: he possesses half of your genetic material.

Oh no, was that too acidic? Are you going to hit me now?

[osreborn]

I should have expected that from you.

You seem like you'd like me to.

[enigmaestro]

Perhaps I'm beginning to find merit in the persuasion of our apparent caliginous entanglement, Norman.

[osreborn]

Really.

Dare I ask why?

[enigmaestro]

Because nothing would annoy you more.





Sweetheart.

[osreborn]

I can adapt, dear.

When necessary.

[enigmaestro]

This resource attributes a consistent personality trait to you - it says you're possessive.

Are you possessive, Norman?

[osreborn]

What resource is this?

[enigmaestro]

A very reputable one, obviously.

[osreborn]

I would take it with a grain of salt if I were you.

Although, yes.

I am possessive.
