[ The video turns on to display the Norman Osborn Hospital of Psychiatric Evaluation, Norman Osborn himself and the warden, Danger, standing in front of it.

Norman has his trademark smirk in place, though there's a hint of annoyance in his expression -- a hint that's at least not at all present in his tone when he starts speaking:
]


Afternoon. As most of you know, I'm Norman Osborn, and this behind me is the Norman Osborn Hospital of Psychiatric Evaluation, subject in recent months and weeks to both terrorist attacks and patches in the security perimeter. Obviously, I was not a bit happy about these incidents befalling such an important institution, nor was my associate here.

[ He indicates Danger. ]

This is the hospital's warden and primary security consultant; she, under my supervision, has been heading a total revamp of the facility's security, fixing what had worn down and overhauling entirely what needed rebuilding from the ground up. But I won't go on-- she can speak for herself.

[ He moves aside for Danger to take the stage. She steps forward. Aside from a slight pinch in her eyebrows that suggests a hint of impatience or something like it, her face is passive and her voice is brisk:]

The majority of our upgrades are structural and technological in nature, with components designed by myself and my colleague. Improved protocols and equipment will be implemented, in addition to new treatment and release programs. However, I will decline to confuse you with the details-- it suffices to say that the breeches in security at the Osborn facility will not be reoccurring.

[ She folds her arms over her chest loosely, her tone becoming pointed: ]

If you should find yourself in our care, I suggest you put thoughts of escape from your mind. Otherwise, I will personally have to disappoint you.

[ Smiling off to her side, Norman claps his hands a couple times in a (perhaps mildly patronizing) signal of approval. ]

Indeed. I hope you all feel in safer and better hands knowing that these problems are being swiftly and successfully contained. There has been no staff turnover, but I'll be taking firmer role in both management and supervision to ensure everything proceeds smoothly. At our current pace everything should be completed in less than a month. Thank you, Danger.

[ But despite the conclusion Norman still appears as if he's about to go on, and after a moment he does: ]

Also, briefly, in other news: I'm sure some of the student-aged populous may have already read online long ago about the undergraduate scholarship my company is sponsoring, but as the deadline draws nearer I'd be remiss not to mention it myself. Consider it a reminder -- but anyone entering college in the Fall with an interest in any science might consider applying if they haven't already. The deadline is still July 1st.

That's all.

It's a step up from "this didn't happen".

Well, yeah, considering it's like the adult version of saying "I'm taking my toes and running home because I don't like this game anymore".

One, I know I'm not wrong so your point's invalid. And two, pretty sure it's not irrelevant because [ we totally kicked your ass ] you're talking about things you're expected to say. That's my experience in that subject, coming from you.

Uh huh. [ So not how the world works, you know. ] Don't worry, I'm full aware that I'm not the one needing serious mental help. [ Codependency doesn't count, shut up. ] Clearly that's way more relevant for you.

Really? Here I thought everybody got on kids these days for not remembering their history.

Now that's totally not true. Which is why certain people have to volunteer as like, human post-it notes to remind everybody of the important points.

[ Example: REMEMBER THAT TIME NORMAN OSBORN LOST HIS DAMN MIND?? TRICK QUESTION - WHICH TIME. ]

I like to think of myself as the helpful kind when I get the opportunity for it.

[ Wowwwwwwww, rude. Also dammit he keeps slipping up like that. HE'S GOT 15+ YEARS OF NOT THINKING ABOUT HIS LANGUAGE LIKE THAT, GIVE HIM A BREAK IF HE SLIPS. ]

...Yeah, I guess it would be. Humanoid then. Whatever.

Whether or not I'm human is totally a little detail compared to your walk-in closet worth of skeletons.

[ ...Please don't let him actually have a closet like that. That would be terrifying. ]

See, I've never heard anybody actually innocent use the term "alleged".

Only until somebody finds proof. [ >:0 ]

If there's nothing to find, there's nothing to worry about.

[ AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA like anybody here believes that there's a "nothing" in this equation. ]
