so very very rusty!

[beneathbluerafters]

So, one small fanart was all that it took to rekindle your interest in me, hm? It's been quite some time.

As intriguing as your renewed attention is, Lady Mundane (and might I add that your title hardly inspires confidence), Teekl and I have worlds to explore, and no time to waste on more of your frivolous detours and distractions. If we're to even begin discussing a mutually beneficial arrangement, then I shall first require the rest of my... 'icons', I believe they're called, and a bag of those marshmallow candies shaped like waterfowl. If the candies are stale, shriveled leftovers from All Hallows Eve, then I shall be very displeased. Also, I believe that you'll find typing to be much more difficult with flippers for hands.

You're going to turn her into the Penguin over candy? Haha! And they say I'm depraved!

[beneathbluerafters]

'The' Penguin? I was under the impression that there was an entire species to choose from. Does one reign over the others?

If you've sampled the wonders of the duck-shaped candies, then I think you'll find that they're well worth the retaliation!

[hewantstheb]

Oh, I like my peeps as much as the next man! Particularly a flambé.

[... Waitaminute. Squint. Peer. Reeeeaaally?]

Not the bird! The man! Not that it's easy to tell the difference.

[beneathbluerafters]

Does roasting them enhance the flavour?

[THE SURFACE WORLD IS WEIRD OK, he's a new kid on the block!]

Is this Penguin character another costumed hero? That hardly sounds like it would be an inspiring costume.

[hewantstheb]

[It's his mun's fault for trying to pun, it really is.]

Hardly! [Give him a moment, the idea of Cobblepot parading around in a costume putting down evil-doers just makes him laugh.] I like you, kid. You're funny!

[beneathbluerafters]

[It's ok, Klarion just doesn't speak Slang]

I must admit, humour wasn't my intent, but I shall nevertheless accept the compliment!

[serrures]

Ah, ye olde flippers for hands trick.

[beneathbluerafters]

It's quite a good one, isn't it?

[serrures]

Alas, I fear it has long since seen its day.

[beneathbluerafters]

Nonsense! As long as it provides the proper motivation, then why retire it?

Of course, if she fails to provide any candied ducks whatsoever, then I may use more drastic measures.

[serrures]

Surely one of such prowess could conjure a punishment far more imaginative for the withholding of these enticingly succulent ducklings.

[beneathbluerafters]

Naturally! The flippers are meant to be a punishment should she fail to provide adecquate ducklings. She'll still have the necessary limbs and mobility to acquire fresh ones!

Of course, if she withholds them entirely, I may have to turn her to stone, or possibly into a decorative lawn ornament. There's no excuse for rudeness.

[serrures]

Ah, so there is not, kindly pigmented one. You are far more resourceful than she lays claim to.

[beneathbluerafters]

Of course I am! She's quite foolish, if she thinks I shall be so easily influenced by her whims.
