dear_mun | What rock did you crawl out from under, good sir - and more importantly, can I put you back?

And a good morning to you, too, Mundane - if only in a ridiculously technical sense.

Don't think that I haven't seen the irony; I already know what you're going to tell me. After all of the yelling I've done to be let off that island - after all the bargaining, negotiating, flat-out threatening that I've done...after all of that, you think I've come crawling back. To ask you to be let back on.

And you know what? I'm a reasonable man on good days. And today has been a good day. So maybe I'll let you have your little point. But this issue runs far, far deeper than that, and you know it.

Five months since the last time I had to give you a few small suggestions, isn't it? And I haven't been seen since. Did you really think that I would just fall silent? That you could forget about Team Magma - about my goals? That I would let you forget?

Because if that's the case, then you don't know me at all anymore.

So start reading, Mundane. It's been a while since I've been so close to the surface here, and once we're done having this little chat, we've got a lot of reminiscing to do.

[...YEP HERE WE GO

ALL

ABOARD

THE HOT MESS EXPRESS]

...I'd wondered when you were going to start with that.

And how do you feel, my dearest? Flattered? Irritated? Scared?

Tell me all, Maxie.

I don't see how that's anything you deserve to know.

Ah, I love it when you hurt me.

But you've hurt me enough that I've become resilient. Like the Zangoose that I raise, I am harmed by the bite and sting of your words, but not by their silent, lingering venom. And for that, my dear, I am immensely grateful to you.

...believe it or not, Edmond, there's a difference between trying to hurt you and simply pointing out that you're being creepy as hell.

[A light laugh.]

Is that so? Perhaps my yearning for you has turned into an infection of my mind and spirit.

In that case, you are the only one who can administer the cure, I fear.

Well. That sounds like a personal problem, and I wish you the best of luck in dealing with it.

But you must accept that my dealing with it must necessarily involve you.

Actually, no, it doesn't.

Ah, I am confident you will not shun me so for much longer still.

I want you, Maxie, dearest. And this time, I will stop at nothing to have you.

Again, your problem, not mine.

Ah, it is, isn't it...

I believe you won't mind this problem of mine, if you just allow me to get close enough.

Actually, I will, and you won't. Back the hell off.

Ah, your refusal is new, dry wood to my fire. You will be mine yet, Maxie.

Oi!!

[[SUDDENLY, AN ADMIN....?]]

The boss said stop, so you're gunna stop!

Ah... so you're one that he likes better than me...

Very well. Far be it from me to waste the time of one who enjoys such a privilege.

[He... actually sounds sad, rather than smug here.]

It ain't about likin' anyone more, it's about you not gettin' the message to leave him alone!

[[your sad does not affect him, Edmond! :|]]

If he says he ain't interested, you need ta back off. I won't have anyone botherin' the boss.

I understood that, worry not. I will leave you and him alone.

I admire your loyalty and commitment, Mitch. It really is no wonder to me that he prefers you.

[... still sad]

[[alskdjasldkj are you missing the point on purpose]]

If ya weren't so creepy there wouldn't be a problem, but you're weirdin' me out! Stop saying all those things, it's gross!

I...

[He blinks, his expression completely lost for a moment.]

... I have wronged your leader, and now he won't forgive me. And he... he is very right to think that, but... but...

But what?

[[Blunt, to the point.]]

... I miss him. I miss him horribly.

So what, makin' him uncomfortable is the answer?!

I suppose it is not.

But you must have better things to do than deal with me. Your time is far more valuable than mine is. I will bother you no more.

Whatever ya say, Edmond. I don't wanna have to do this again.
