Murder and violence are the flavors of the week.

It must be satisfying.

It's entertaining, but only that. Getting caught on film is fucking tactless.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

I know, isn't it? But really, attacking a crowd in public is also tactless. About twenty people caught him on recording. Hell, he made the news in a few hours.

[fluidshape.livejournal.com]

Nothing is tactless if you can find a way to get away with it. Let someone else take the blame.

But, yes. He was sloppy, wasn't he?

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

If you say so.

I daresay all massacres are sloppy in some sense.

[fluidshape.livejournal.com]

There are ways to keep your hands from getting dirty.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

I thought you liked getting your hands dirty?

[fluidshape.livejournal.com]

Only if it's personal. Or if it's someone I know will be interesting to kill.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Really. I know I don't fit the former. Do I fit the latter still?

[fluidshape.livejournal.com]

You know, I don't make it my habit to stroke human egos, and calling you an interesting kill is much too fucking close to a compliment.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

So you won't be killing me anytime soon, at least with a personal touch. According to your own words.

[fluidshape.livejournal.com]

I suppose not. But I am a liar, and creature of whims. I wouldn't count on it.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

You think I'm unarmed in the manner of lies?

[fluidshape.livejournal.com]

No. I suppose like all intelligent humans, you are well-versed in lies.

My dear Envy, I cannot deny my humanity. Nor my intelligence, as you so aptly noted.

So I suppose the query rests: how is that useful to you?

[fluidshape.livejournal.com]

Maybe it isn't. Maybe I just think you're good for a laugh.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

I think you're more cunning than that.

Either way, I don't trust humans. They're only useful if there's a bargain, or if they're being manipulated. You can't plan with them.

Betrayal is in human nature.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Precisely the reason why I don't plan with others. Non-human entities included.

And nor am I manipulated. Ever.

But on occasion I am open to bargaining.

And what could I possibly do for you, Edward?
