Tell me I'm not the only one who got electrocuted just trying to get one of these new things registered.

I hate that friggin' AI.

I am simultaneously disgusted and intrigued. Did you talk to Batman this way too?

[enigmaestro]

As if I needed another reason to wish Catwoman on you.

[maskurbates]

It's just a question.

[enigmaestro]

You're not helping the popular theory, that we're all adoring of Batman.

[maskurbates]

Don't make me laugh.

[he's not.]

[enigmaestro]

Then you clearly don't want to hear what they have to say about you, Roman.

[maskurbates]

They who?

[enigmaestro]

The shrinks at Arkham.

Other criminals.

[maskurbates]

That's complete bullshit.

[enigmaestro]

You would say that, wouldn't you? As the first defense.

[maskurbates]

I'm not the one sending him clues or baiting his look-a-likes, Edward.

[enigmaestro]

I can't help but bait him! He asks for it!

[maskurbates]

[a pause, and then a snicker.]

You're insane.

[enigmaestro]

[A beat. And the private (for now).

He snarls:]

Don't test me, Sionis.

private

[maskurbates]

I don't need to test you, Nygma.

private

[enigmaestro]

Seems rather dangerous for you to piss off a man in my position, doesn't it?

private

[maskurbates]

What exactly is your position, besides Deputy Mayor?

private

[enigmaestro]

Deputy Mayor with falsehood detection? Seems like a nice combination for stomping out illicit activity if you catch my very chilly drift.

[maskurbates]

If you're trying to intimidate me, you're going to have to try much harder than that.

[enigmaestro]

[Public.]

How hard to you want me to try, Roman?

[maskurbates]

Oh, that's great.

[there's a pause, then he plays back the previous privated message 'if you're trying to intimidate me, you're going to have to try much harder than that.' because jeez]

I'm not going to purposely invite you to send your people after me. That'd be stupid.

[enigmaestro]

Well that's a relief. [His tone implies that Roman's declared action comes as a genuine surprise.]

[maskurbates]

Don't act so shocked.
