[phobic]

I'm in the market for an assistant. Someone with steady hands who knows how to read aloud. You wouldn't believe how many people I'm surrounded by who have, at the most, a third grade education.

Yes, I'll pay - an hourly, twice minimum wage rate. And it's not physically demanding work.

Bats need not apply.

[amoray]

Well if you'd tell me anythin' about the other Gothamites instead a bein' all wague as fuck and hopin' I don't start henchin' for 'em or whatewer, I might of figured out he's got a hankerin' for slaughtered men before I offered.

[enigmaestro]

Eridan, if I illuminated the details of my fellows and their exploits, if anything that would incite your interest more.

voice;

[amoray]

Then you'd just hawe to illuminate some a yours that happen to be more interestin', wouldn't you.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

Manipulation doesn't work as a tactic if you surrender your intention in the premise.

voice;

[amoray]

[he has no idea what eddie just said.]

Assumin' that was my actual intention. How presumptuous.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

How could it not be?

voice; 1/2

[amoray]

[UHHHH]

I got my ways.

[perfect.]

And it ain't like I'd go ewil or anythin' just 'cos a someone else's influence. You do a good enough job a that yourself.

voice;

[amoray]

Joke.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

[Still baffled over Eridan's answer, he lets his indignation slide.]

That doesn't make any sense. [Beat.] And I'm sure that didn't, either.

[Then, abruptly, as if he just remembered:]

Are you making connections, while awaiting trial?

voice;

[amoray]

Doin' what now?

voice;

[enigmaestro]

Making connections. What's another word -- friends.

voice;

[amoray]

Oh, that.

[a beat.]

Not really. I think I mighta pissed off more folk than I made nice with, in fact.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

Do you think that was especially tactical of you?

voice;

[amoray]

I'm assertin' dominance. Either they'll rally behind me or I'll just hawe to, I dunno, defend myself through a couple a attempts on my life and then watch 'em start the rallyin'.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

I foresee many more weeks in solitary, for you.

voice;

[amoray]

I'll whip the filthy criminal masses into shape yet, Ed. Just you watch.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

Spoken like the most popular guy in prison.

voice;

[amoray]

I newer said I couldn't do it by force.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

You're never going to get a hypothetical reduction on your hypothetical sentence if you exhibit that sort of behavior.

voice;

[amoray]

What, they punish you for that? I shouldn't hawe to play nice with these wermin.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

The idea is that, in this social setting, they are you're peers

voice;

[amoray]

They ain't my peers in any social settin'.

My bein' peerless in near ewery way aside, I'm up to my shame globes in the dregs a society here. Don't tell me I got peers here.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

Well at least you're not in NOHoPE, and you haven't been injected with more literal dregs. Isn't that a plus?

voice;

[amoray]

They inject you with shit ower there?

voice;

[enigmaestro]

In most cases, yes. Especially if you refuse your oral medication.
