Day 10 - VIDEO

[ There is a pie. There is a pie with the π symbol on it. There is a pie with little sticky blueberry squiggly legs and little blueberry arms with little blueberry claws. It hisses, clawing at the camera.

Calendar Man’s hand comes down and picks up the communicator, away from the weird little pi monster. More little pie monsters – apple, cherry, strawberry rhubarb – try to grab the comm. Julian manages to take it away from then and looks into the camera. His eyebrow couldn’t possibly raise itself any more. ]

It is March 14th. 3/14.

I had been disinclined to count the so-called “Pi Day” as a real holiday, but evidently my powers disagree. [ A small smile spreads. ] That raises some intriguing implications, doesn’t it?

Tell me, City – how many of you celebrate unusual or uncommon holidays?

Pie monsters.

It's certainly unique.

I can't say I expected them. Unique monsters for a unique holiday.

They're almost ... cute. In a weird way.

Despite their appearance, they have a particular talent for destruction.

Given their maker, I'd be surprised if they didn't.

You are starting to understand. Good.

... Good?

I am not your friend. My work should be anticipated, not forgotten.

Oh, believe me, Calendar Man, I would never mistake us for friends.

I still haven't had the opportunity to thank you for the New Year. Do you have anything scheduled for the 17th? The 20th?

[ ohhh shit. ]

There's no need to thank me.

[ completely ignoring her] No, the 17th is too soon, I think.

Is it. [ Max stop talking now. ]

But I will thank you. When I make an appointment I keep it.

... Yes. I suspect you do.
