So what are you gonna do when they outlaw all that superheroin' nonsense you all lowe so damn much?

[to his credit, he's trying to sound grave. (it isn't working.)]

We take this - and we're goin' to, since we got such big pushers for mustard-bellied diplomacy in charge around here - they ain't gonna be satisfied 'til they got us all on leashes. And at the first signs a dissent, they're gonna hang us by 'em. I sure hope you lot can handle the usage a our powers bein' a criminal offense, since that's the next thing to go. A Wulcanus gun in ewery Natiwe hand and a trackin' chip in ewery filthy imPort, right?

[a theatrical pause. contrary to his usual habit of getting worked up in his tirades, eridan's been very calm (albeit smug in his "my unreasonable paranoia was entirely justified" kind of way) but no less intense throughout.]

We start goin quietly into that good fuckin' nocturnal phase and we aint newer gonna stop.

I wouldn't want you where you are if you weren't. The practicality is something we need.

No, but for the moment he's going to only be able to make a small dip. We'll make up for it in other ways. If we handle this shit with Vulcanus right, we'll see an increase, and if we don't, I think the natives will have something else they'll see as a positive soon enough.

It's just unfortunate, is all.

Very, but we'll recover from it quickly enough. It's not interesting enough for most people to care about for long.

You don't like him.

Edward, he fucking killed me. Not liking him is the mildest reaction possible.

[enigmaestro]

I know. And you hold back on account of me, out of respect for my delicate position. But I'm not the boy's guardian any longer.

[viced]

No, but I'm also not going to exactly go out of my way to make his life hell.

[enigmaestro]

Why not?

[Eddie does.]

I don't know, maybe because it's not exactly legal? [ A pause. ]

More than that there's a high probability for it being obvious what happened.
