[ Today the usual scowl has been done away with in favor of a really miserable pout! But only because she hasn't figured out how to switch it to voice yet. ]

I need something to stop the itch of poison ivy, and to find an elf that ought to be in hiding if he knows what's good for him.

[ She doesn't even have the heart to sound as MENACING AND HAUGHTY as she should. LIFE SUCKS TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW TO BE PISSY. ]

[ PREEN PREEN ]

In regards to the elf, or on a grander scale?

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

The latter. I know a being with potential when I see one.

private

[onblackwings]

Oh, it's simple enough. Wealth, power, control...

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

On a global scale?

private

[onblackwings]

[ a quick little pause because... she's never actually thought that far ahead. :|a ]

That sounds awfully troublesome to maintain.

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

You just need someone to help oversee the details.

private

[onblackwings]

[ that gets a smile. ]

That would require someone trustworthy.

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Someone trustworthy, or someone whose nature is already apparent to you?

private

[onblackwings]

Understanding a treacherous nature doesn't mean betrayal isn't inevitable. It only means I'd be prepared for it.

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

True. It will at least be fun.

[ and here she just... stares thoughtfully at this tiny picture for a while (it's annoying how little it really shows of a person), and eventually smiles.

it's like she's talking to herself. and oh boy does she know better than to trust someone like herself. ]

To say the least. What do you get out of this, Nygma?

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

I like having connections with conquerors. I find those pathways pay for themselves.

private

[onblackwings]

[ ever so amused: ] And you think that of me? You do know how to flatter.

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

And I never lie.

private

[onblackwings]

Of course not. You deliver truth in shades.

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

You catch on very quickly, my dear.

private

[onblackwings]

Are you from a plane like this one?

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Similar, yes, in structure. But the populace is different -- superhuman traits are a minority here, and that's not necessarily the case of my homeworld.

private

[onblackwings]

But you understand its-- [ a quick pause ] --technology.

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

I would be happy to tutor you in the subject.

private

[onblackwings]

[ and she didn't even need to ask. pleased! and yet, as always, suspicious. ]

In exchange for what?

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

What is your power range? Anything that you haven't kindly discussed with the Network, I mean.

private

[onblackwings]

Considerably greater than I'd be willing to tell a near-stranger about.

private

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm interested in.

private

[onblackwings]

You're more likely to get a concrete answer if you tell me exactly what it is you want to see done.
