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?

voice // private Not a problem! <o

[ysobritish]

Dear god, I hope not. You're actually tolerable.

voice // private Thanks.

[killswithapen]

Right. I'm glad you think so...

voice // private

[ysobritish]

Believe me, it's higher than I think of most people. Not that that's saying much.

voice // private

[killswithapen]

I'm extremely grateful. That's what I mean--I'm pleased you think so, it's important.

voice // private

[ysobritish]

...

Why is it important?

[Pay no attention to the paranoid note in his voice.]

voice // private

[killswithapen]

It's...nice to have an ally in the house. Is that surprising?

voice // private

[ysobritish]

[...oh.]

No, not at all. [I was totally not thinking you wanted to earn my trust so you'd get the chance to stab me in the back.]

[Hey, did you hear how much he likes using dumb blondes?]

One more person to raise their hand in opposing vote if Big Boss decides to dress us all up as elves this Christmas.

[ysobritish]

[Oh yeah, Light, try to manipulate the crazy terrorist. Remember that 180 IQ Liquid supposedly has? And the paranoia and hatred of being used?]

Frankly, if he tries that I'm going to shoot him.

[killswithapen]

[A laugh.]

Yeah, that could work too.

voice // private

[ysobritish]

...I'm curious as to whether you're laughing because you think it's a joke, or you're laughing because you'd like the idea.

voice // private

[killswithapen]

I'm still laughing at the idea--and worried he might read this, so the least said about it the better.

voice // private

[ysobritish]

Heh. [He almost likes you, Light. Such a pity he can't trust you.] I suppose that makes sense. You don't want to bring his wrath down upon you.

voice // private

[killswithapen]

[Teasing note] Am I that obvious?

voice // private

[ysobritish]

...hm? What do you mean?
