Almost the end of February already? What's that thing they say about time flying? It happens when you have fun. Actually happens while your getting rich too, wouldn't you know. Thought things were going to be slow to move, and really in the beginning there it was. I guess when you're a genius and technological badass, fortune just falls on your lap.

Now what should I do with this new found fortune? Continue my freelance work? Finally settle down to one company and build up said corporation to astronomical levels?

Kinda want to check out my options here.

Like I said before-- no reason becoming competition when I can make someone else look good for a while. I mean, I'm always going to be impressive, but that's aside the point.

So. Import populace. You technology fat cats looking to take your company to the next level? Consider me a potential business partner and investor.

We'll talk.

Until then, I think Daddy's earned himself a night out in celebration. Maybe fund some genetic research to make a miniature pocket-sized giraffe or something.

Hmm. Well. My offer still stands.

I had no doubts.

When should I check in, Norman?

How does tomorrow look for you? [ A pause. ] I have varying holes in my schedule throughout the entire week.

Gotta push a few things around, but tomorrow should work.

I'll bring some toys for you to look at.

Great. [ With a smirk in his voice: ] Can't wait to see them. Just call the office if you can't come in; we'll work out another day.

Miniature giraffe? Surely you can think of a better animal than that, Jack.

Colossal flying squirrel?

Fun sized elephant?

Pocket sized honey badger, trained to kill on command?

[That sounds far more entertaining.]

A pocket sized honey badger sleeper agent maybe?

....Yeah, I think that might work. Gotta find a good trigger word.

[Kenzi was pinged by the words "getting rich" but pocket-sized giraffe also caught her attention.]

Like a real life, itty-bitty giraffe?

Yeah. Think tiny gerbil sized. But with a long ass neck.

Little bugger'd still have to reach for things after all.

That sounds adorable!

But seems like it'd be pretty fucked up for all the failed ones on the way to perfecting it. [So against animal cruelty, man.]

Yeah, which is why I'll probably find some scientist that's already a pretty damn good expert in the field. That way it's less trial and error, right?

...Don't know what I'd do with the rejects yet.

[Probably mutate them. Either way, not his problem.]

No, what you need to do is make small animals bigger. I'll take a dog-sized rabbit, and how!

Oh, well, that's just too easy.

Braggart. Bring them on, then.

What would you do with giant over-sized rabbits anyway?

Aw, good for you. Y'bein' rich, now. 'Cuz it matters so much t'you.

'Cuz you're materialistic.

Well, we're living in a material world, Maddie. [~~And he's a material girl.~~]

Want me to throw some bucks your way to fund your adorable little research project? Because that's no way to ask.

Edited 2013-02-23 01:23 (UTC)

Naw, 'cuz I wasn't askin'. We'd do fine without some creep's extra cash.

[ beat. ]

You're the creep, FYI.

See, now I try to be nice, and you shoot me down.

Never heard of any kind of scientist turning down money before. What's wrong with you?

Or, it's because it's the shortest month of the year. (you're not that funny, stop.)

Huh. I don't remember asking for commentary from a smart ass...

Someone had to humble you.

Gonna just take a moment to inform you of something, Gingersnap: not possible.
