So.

Any a you ewer had a nemesis before? Like fated fuckin' contentiousness, always gettin' up each others' gills doin' shit just to irritate 'em, duelin' to practically the death, maybe makin' out a little, that kinda thing.

See, I'm in the market for just that particular arrangement, and while I'm personally a master of the bellicose arts and don't need any adwice or nothin', I obwiously got a wested interest in how humans go about poorly imitatin' the quadrant. What with my bein' the main troll-human confidante in these parts and such.

[he pronounces it "con-fee-dawn-tay". also he means intermediary.]

Despite most of you bein' from a society bearin' a sewerely inferior romance system and therefore gettin' your emotions all scrambled up wrong from the get-go 'cos of it, I'd appreciate hearin' some personal tales.

Eh.

[THIS IS A TEST THIS IS A TEST]... What about Batman?

[amoray]

What about him?

[enigmaestro]

Could he?

[amoray]

You're the one who's tangled with him. Could he?

[no he's just being difficult now.]

[enigmaestro]

... Honestly psychology was never his strong point.









But stay away from Crane.

I try and keep away from the creepier a your lot, so don't worry about it.

[enigmaestro]

It's really hard to choose just one "creeper" from Gotham.

[amoray]

Sionis and Crane probably rank up high, I imagine. Day too - somethin just seems so fuckin' weird about him.

[enigmaestro]

Harvey, Joker when he's in town [FORESHADOW........], Ivy, Wesker when he was alive, Mad Hatter -- though I suppose he's never been here.

[amoray]

That Joker was a fuckin' freak, yeah.

[UNFORTUNATE FORESHADOWWIN]

Worst outta the lot, in your own personal opinion?

Re: video; encrypted

[enigmaestro]

Joker, hands down. And not just because he stole my color scheme.








[only mostly because of that]

[amoray]

You ewer tangle with him?

[enigmaestro]

[A beat.] A few times. He tends to get violent with us all.

Violent and provocative.

But outside of Harley Quinn and the ever-opportunistic Ozzie, there isn't a single one of us who doesn't despise him.

video; encrypted

[amoray]

Seemed like a real fuckin' wacko, from what I remember.

How'd he get that way? Do you know?

video; encrypted

[enigmaestro]

No, not really -- I mean, I can't say with complete certainty. I know he wasn't always like that, obviously, but even into his adult life. I know he had a life before that.

But the catalyst? [Eddie shrugs, his mouth quirking into a frown.] We hear a lot of rumors. Esoteric connections. He may have been a chemist, beforehand. He may have always been manic depressive.

[Beat...] He has superficial similarities to Gamzee.

[amoray]

Don't remind me.

[because it reminds him of his own superficial similarities to eddie.]

I'm guessin' Joker don't kiss corpses, though.

video; encrypted

[enigmaestro]

... Well.

I can't. Say that isn't unlike him. I mean, actually, I think he has, just. Ironically.

Same way he kisses Harley, really. [OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH SNAAAAP]

He probably uses them as puppets as well, or lets his hyenas eat them alive. Whatever strikes him as funny that week.

[amoray]

[AWWWWW SHIT]

Yeah, okay, all these similarities between certain members a other uniwerses and my own personal self or the selwes a people I hate is gettin' really fuckin' weird now.

[enigmaestro]

Hey, how do you think I feel? Joker But With Teenage Hormones is hitting on me.

Seriously, I'm all for emotional manipulation, but some things -- Eridan, some things I just am not prepared to endure.

video; encrypted

[amoray]

He's -


what?

video; encrypted

[enigmaestro]

You -- [Face. Frozen.]

You had to have known. I'm sure he's doing it purely to agitate me -- the parallels are endless.

video; encrypted

[amoray]

What the fuck do you mean he's hittin' on you?

[though he has no actual public right and/or claim over deciding whether or not his notfriends can hit on eddie anymore ITS STILL DISTRESSING]

video; encrypted

[enigmaestro]

I thought you had figured it out already! [He draws back, clearly uncomfortable. And clearly very aware what would happened if Eridan was denied explanation.] It's hardly worth a second thought, really. Gamzee has been "waxing black" for me, though I suspect my case isn't unique at all in that respect. If you hadn't noticed, he's "waxing" more than a martial arts movie.

video; encrypted

[amoray]

Why's he waxin' in the first place?

[sharp, accusatory; it's an uncomfortable topic for him too, though not so much that he'd avoid it entirely. because not being jealous is difficult.]

video; encrypted

[enigmaestro]

No.

No, no, no, this isn't my fault. Oh, no. If anything, it's your fault! Because it started when we were moirails, that's when it started, and I wouldn't have encountered him so directly if not for you!

[clearly a defense that will work wonders]
