[Edward Nygma is in the mayor’s office, sitting in the mayor’s chair. Mitchell’s usual desk tag is conspicuously missing from the view of the camera. He broadcasts this breaking news to the Network first, and so far there has not been any media coverage coming from City Hall.

Eddie leans forward towards the camera just a touch.]

Mitchell Hundred is missing. Contact was initially attempted sixty-eight minutes ago and has been consistent ever since. He has yet to respond to any attempt of communication. I don’t need to tell you, Network, how highly unorthodox such behavior is for Mayor Hundred, and logically we are treating this as an emergency. We’ve yet to acquire substantial, palpable evidence indicating a port-out or a kidnapping, but the fact that any effort to contact him has thus failed rather suggests harrowing possibilities. We must now resort to more dramatic maneuvers.

The available details are as follows: at four-twenty this afternoon, Mitchell had suffered from a minor concussion while overseeing reconstruction in Times Square. He was briefly hospitalized and then returned to Gracie Manor shortly after his release. His last contact was made at Gracie Manor. He is now physically missing from Gracie Manor.

[Eddie inclines his head slightly, his eyes never leaving the camera view. He draws back his shoulders.]

With a heavy heart, I must now resume the responsibility of acting Mayor until our efforts to retrieve Mitchell Hundred are fulfilled.

[And then he smirks.]

Mayor Nygma, signing off.

If you really believe that, then they've already won.

[Someone senses that paranoia and someone is digging in his gloved fingers.]

At the very least, we both know you don't want that.

Shut up.

Why? Fair question, isn't it?

Why?

Unless you want to become the next missing mayor I suggest you quit digging further into my business with your questions.

Or I'm going to dig myself into your skull.

I do advise against that.

Oh?

And why's that?

You could easily find out without having to research within a mind.

All minds are different. They work the same kinks but they walk different talks. And talk different walks.

All minds are different.

Start there.

Start with what, asshole.

In name a holding, in concept and in form
And partly, afloat as narrative boat.
To end; reverse with the hour beginning
A measure of energized life, initially.

Start with that.

A riddle?

Yes. [For the first time during this conversation, he drops the I'm-A-Sardonic-But-Restrained-Mayor act. He's outright gleeful.]

A riddle. Composed just for you, don't you feel special?

Ed.

Eridan.

Do I gotta get the two a you an auspistice?

I'm not the provoking element here.

A course not.

You're the antagonizin' element.

I'm simply pointing out the extremely mutable chinks in his armor, how is that a bad thing?

Because I was considerin' askin' him for your psychic protection.

You know, since I'm fuckin' positiwe you hawen't done shit about any a my warnins and all.

He wouldn't grant it regardless. I'm a figure of authority, he questions said authority.

It's quite understandable.

But I'm his best friend.

[and it's Eridan's turn to sound downright giddy.]

Best friend, Ed, he'd do it for me. He would.

If you would stop fuckin' antagonizin' him, that is.

No he wouldn't. Best friend or not.

I can take care of myself, Eridan, stop mollycoddling won't you?

Yeah, okay. Sorry I fuckin' care about my moirail, I'll just go back to throwin' change at bums and shuttin' up like a good little troll.

Now was that so difficult?
