application thoughts

[osbastard]

So it's come to this again? Don't deny it, you missed me, didn't you? You missed me, you missed me, you missed me! You can't think I haven't noticed you favoring my brother lately, can you? Make no mistake -- I won't forget and I do hold grudges, but I might forgive. It's fitting that you play us together... father and I. I am the prodigal son returning at last, while Harold returned and wasted all his fanfare.

So you haven't made a real decision yet -- can't play us both in the same place. If I could shoot him again to help you decide I'd do it. You've got plenty of time, but I don't.

I think I could have a lot of fun there.

My, my... I sense a little family circus, and you've never been its star before, have you? That must be exciting for you.

[osbastard]

They'd sooner have me in a cage with the rest of the sideshow freaks. But I -- ah. I've no use for the metaphor. Yes. That's right.

[impersassination]

I'll shed metaphor then, but why would they call you a freak?

[osbastard]

Oh, it's the same old story where they don't mind they're own business and everyone thinks I'm crazy. I wasn't trying to hurt him; he was supposed to die.

[impersassination]

And who is he? Your dear brother?

[osbastard]

Harold. His name is Harold.

[impersassination]

[ Harold...Harry~? ]

I see, and what is his crime? If not just daddy's favor?

[osbastard]

That's exactly it. Harold is the son he loved.

[seaspraysorceress]

So who are you again?

hello there!

[osbastard]

Gabriel. ... Osborn. You might know of my father.

Re: hello there!

[seaspraysorceress]

Your dad blows chunks.

[osbastard]

Don't take your daddy issues out on my family -- I bet you've never even met him!

[seaspraysorceress]

No, but when a someone goes out of their way to torture someone who's just trying to help people, it does paint a pretty bad picture.

And my dad gave up the last of his power just to keep me safe. Would yours?

[osbastard]

My father only tortures people that deserve it. Not everyone who tries to help is good at it.

When he tried to help people they spat in his face and locked him in prison. But he kept me safe for years.

[seaspraysorceress]

Not everyone who tries to help is good at it could just as easily apply to him. I'd say he's terrible at it, actually.

[osbastard]

I owe everything in my life to him. Everything, can you even understand that? I can admire his flaws.

[remake]

Wow, that's- um. Really intense.

[osbastard]

First impressions matter. Actually -- all impressions.

... That's not a costume I recognize, Spider-Man.

[remake]

And being willing to shoot people is the impression you're going with?

--Uh. It's. New?

[osbastard]

No one asks questions when it's a cop or a soldier. It's a personal... it's a family thing, between me and my brother. You wouldn't understand.

I like it. It's easier on the eyes.

[remake]

Fratricide totally isn't the same thing, though.

Oh. Thanks. I like it, too.

[osbastard]

It shouldn't matter, is my point! We're all people, with stories to tell. Reasons for doing what we do.

Why the black? Do you have something to atone for?

Have a Mark Allan who is not pleased at hearing the name 'Osborne'.

[moltenman]

[Mark had read the above comments, but still isn't pleased.]

Based on what I hear, you are related to the Osbornes' right?

[osbastard]

I'm related to the Osborns. Norman Osborn is my father.
