I will only say this once, so listen very carefully: violence and criminal activity in this city will not be tolerated.

You may be from a world that this one may look 'ripe for the picking'; perhaps because there is a denser population than the place you came from, or perhaps because you have 'conquered' a city on this size before. However, you are

[Liquid sounds half asleep.]

I take it you spoke to the "good Doctor Horrible". Isn't it a little off to say violence won't be tolerated when you're living with Father?

I'm looking to move into politics, but there are hoops to jump through.

voice

[ysobritish]

[Liquid's voice is a little more curt at those words. He has no love of politics. Or politicians.]

Hoops and hurdles... and of course, everyone will throw your past in your face. Still, politicians can do anything they want, if they know how.

[killswithapen]

I can't think of a better way to become useful, can you? Short of sitting the bar and taking Edgeworth on in court.

voice

[ysobritish]

Hmph. I wouldn't spend more time talking to that man than I have to, if I were you, but it's your choice what to do.

voice

[killswithapen]

It would keep him from arguing with other people, don't you think?

voice

[ysobritish]

Perhaps, at your sacrifice. You'd probably go mad before long. But no, actually. Nothing short of a bullet to the brain stem will shut him up, and even then I think you'd have to take his tongue too. He'd probably just start texting instead if that happened.

voice

[killswithapen]

You have...a very macabre sense of humour. But you're probably right.

voice

[ysobritish]

...

[Humor. Yes, lets go with that. He wasn't serious at all.]

Ah. Yes. He's very stubborn.

voice

[killswithapen]

[Not at all. Nope.]

Very.

[Switching to private.]

He doesn't seem to think he's capable of murder.

voice // private

[ysobritish]

Nonsense. Everyone is capable of murder if they're pushed hard enough. I refuse to believe he'd never defend himself - or try to defend someone else, if his sense of justice is so strong.

voice // private

[killswithapen]

That was my feeling on the matter, too. He considers it an ugly act, but we all believe that.

voice // private

[ysobritish]

Of course it's ugly. But it's a factor of life. Death can be necessary, it can be pointless, but it stalks every street. No one can escape it. Some day he'll realise that.

voice // private

[killswithapen]

Hopefully he won't have to. Still...he's dreadfully condescending when he doesn't understand. It's frustrating.

voice // private

[ysobritish]

Heh. I almost wish he would.

[A snort of derision.]

That man understands nothing, no matter what he might claim.

voice // private Retcon that bit about Big Boss being angry, and that bit about Kaz, if that's ok?

[killswithapen]

He's extremely intelligent...just extremely focused. I might have been that way once.
