schemes and things at lastvoyages

[sixthanimorph]

Hey, I get your enthusiasm, but you really are getting ahead of yourself. There's still no telling when Arthas will make his move, Slick didn't stick around long enough to bother joining in, that Drake guy's probably useless without his magic. and Wanda... I don't even know what Wanda's gonna do. So cool it.

What are you laughing about? 'You're finally learning patience?' Screw you. This isn't new, I've always been patient when I needed to be. This isn't anything different, and it's definitely not the Barge changing me. Because it's not.

And yeah, I know Tim and Dick are gonna be pissed. So what? I gave Dick everything he needed to know. My responsibility's taken care of. And as for Tim... he's got no place talking to me about what I should do if he really did let Sylar kill people.

As for Dean and Viserys... I know I oughta jump in, but honestly? I wanna sit back and watch a little bit longer. Maybe get some popcorn.

No? Ah, you're no fun.

You have a really messed up understanding of responsibility.

[sixthanimorph]

I gave you insider information and you're gonna hammer me for it? So much for gratitude.

[batmanschmatman]

You're still apparently kidnapping me and asking for information I don't have.

[sixthanimorph]

Quit being a baby. You're not even gonna get beat up or anything, and it's not like you have to worry about me bringing Hoffman into it.

[batmanschmatman]

Wow.

[sixthanimorph]

It's not gonna be any worse than what you did to me back in Halloween. I don't know what you're acting all condescending for.

[batmanschmatman]

Because I thought you were actually making progress. But it turns out, you're still just being irrational and stupid, especially if you're drawing that comparison.

[lastmanstanding]

Planning on taking a leaf from my book?

[sixthanimorph]

You're so full of it. You really think 'progress' means something. How many inmates got condemned that deserved a chance? How many graduated that never deserved it? And how many 'wardens' aren't any better than the worst of us?! You sit there and think you can judge me just because I don't buy into a broken system? Well, screw you. I gave you information I didn't have to. If you don't do anything with it, that's not my fault.

[sixthanimorph]

No. I'm gonna change something. Arthas has a plan to finally change things, and I'm gonna be a part of it. This isn't anything like you.

[lastmanstanding]

No, of course not. Manhandling people, putting them in dangerous situations all for the bent of some- [have a decidedly bitter laugh] useless misguided attempt to improve things for the barge or for other people is absolutely nothing like me.

[sixthanimorph]

No, it's not. You've never tried to help anyone, everything you've ever done was for yourself. You played me like a fucking puppet and then threw me away when you got bored with me. You think you're so better than us, but Costigan was right about you all along. You're just an animal.

[batmanschmatman]

You're the one who's full of it. You act like you know all about us because you've read a couple comic books, but I have news for you, David. You're not any different from plenty of people I've had to deal with back home. People I'm guessing you've read about too. You think you have all the answers, but you don't, and it's going to come back and bite you in the ass, again. And if you want to keep smashing your head against the wall, that's your business. Just don't come crying to me when you've alienated yourself from everyone and can't figure out why.

[lastmanstanding]

You have-

[deep breath. Yeah, he's talking about the vampire thing.]

And so what? You think he has all the answers?

[sixthanimorph]

Shut up! You and Tim, you're both like that, always sitting there and judging, like you've never done anything wrong! You wanna think I'm one of those morons you fight, you think that if you want. But I'm doing this because I'm not gonna become one of them. And I'm not gonna be anyone's tool either! I'm done with being used, Dick. I'm taking control of my own life now.

[sixthanimorph]

He's been here longer than anyone else. He's seen what other inmates have tried. If he thinks he has a plan, I believe him.

[batmanschmatman]

By doing this, you already are one of them.

[lastmanstanding]

How can you be this goddamn stupid? I'm truly sorry that I took any kind of interest in you if you think that this is a good idea or that it will change anything.

[sixthanimorph]

You're wrong. I'm doing this because there's no other way. I'm not gonna let it happen again, Dick. I'll jump right off the deck into oblivion before I let it happen again.

[sixthanimorph]

Don't lie to me. You're 'sorry' because it's not you calling the shots now. Don't think I've forgotten. Before this is over, you're going to have to finish what you started.

[lastmanstanding]

Let me give you one last piece of advice. call it a fucking gift so that you understand where I'm coming from. A man who has lost everything is capable of anything.

...You don't want to be that guy.

And you don't want to make that guy mad.

[sixthanimorph]

You think you can can scare me? All you can do is kill me, Hoffman. That's all you can do.

I'm not afraid of that anymore. So bring on whatever you've got. The wardens might not know what to do with you, but I do.

[lastmanstanding]

David.

There are so many things that I could do to you that don't involve death. The problem is that you seem utterly hellbent on doing them to yourself without my involvement.

[sixthanimorph]

Oh, yeah, your tricks and traps. Too bad for you I've got my powers. There's not a trap you can make that can hold me, just ask Buffy.

[lastmanstanding]

If you do what I think you're doing then I don't see the power situation lasting for long.

Your sense of crippling inferiority is absolutely astounding. But you're a child. So.
