@ CAPE AND COWL

[oww_myhead]

Hey. Hey no, remember, we retired? And I went on to superhero afterlife. Stuff happened! Sure, maybe I miss some people maybe a lot and stuff and yeah but c'mon, this means I have to deal with people like, oh I don't know, the Riddler again.

And we all know how much I loooove Eddiekins. Which is a negative amount, by the way.

Let's think about this! What's that place need me for, besides a couple of laughs? I'm sure there are plenty of humor-infused individuals at the City that can fulfill this roll without my presence perfectly fine. Look, even Jaime is still there! He's got this!

...While we were having this very one-sided argument, you went and did it anyway. That's great. That's just freakin' great, now we're committed.

Sigh. Maybe I can just quietly sneak in and pretend I forgot everything. Like you'll let me do that.

Oh boy. This really will be some reunion special, won't it?

[enigmaestro]

I'm the Deputy Mayor now.

Hello, Ted.

1/2

[oww_myhead]

JUST MY LUCK!

[oww_myhead]

Hi, Eddie. How are ya.

[oww_myhead]

Excuse me, I left my words in the other Beetle suit.

[enigmaestro]

Oh, I've been managing -- the whole rise to political power thing is a bit fun, I must admit.

Should I return the pet name in turn, or is that overkill? I hesitate to commit to the latter as Maxwell Lord has already spoken here.

[retconman]

It's official, then: I really am cornering the market on ways to shut you up.

[ Ever in bad taste. ]

[oww_myhead]

It's all right, I'm pretty sure I can find that other Beetle suit pretty fast.

How's the neck.

[oww_myhead]

Oh, I'm fine, too, by the way. Great even. There were cheeseburgers in superhero afterlife. I loved it.

Consider the pet name calling a challenge. Is the challenge accepted, Sir Eddles?

[enigmaestro]

What a ridiculous proposition. I'm not going to engage in an endearment challenge with yo--

Teeter-Tedder.

[oww_myhead]

Just as planned. Bwa ha ha.

Eddsiepoo.

[retconman]

Better than the head, I'm sure. You can't even see even the fingerprints.

[enigmaestro]

I thought dead men were more dignified, Teddibles.

[oww_myhead]

Oh, I just have a few migraines here and there. Nothing a little aspirin can't fix.

I am seriously debating kicking you down some stairs. You really can't blame me for the sentiment, you know, because it's a really strong inclination.

[oww_myhead]

If dead men were more dignified, they wouldn't be all gross and rotten in coffins, Eddiecake.

[enigmaestro]

Why Tedderbuns, decomposition is an utterly natural process. For failures, of course.

[oww_myhead]

It's a good thing the dead thing didn't stick then, Edders McMuffin.

[enigmaestro]

Edders. McMuffin.

All right, I refuse to sink below that. Congratulations, Mr. Kord, you have made me regret something.

[oww_myhead]

And today, I stand the victor. Woo.

[enigmaestro]

I'll take the opportunity to congratulate you personally when you return to the City.

I'm sure you simply can't wait.

[retconman]

Ted, I'm getting the strong impression you're not looking forward to seeing me. Can't you try a more optimistic approach? Grimdark really doesn't suit you.

[oww_myhead]

I'm excited. Terribly.

Make sure there's a cake.

[oww_myhead]

Grimdark is when I start to angst in the shadows. And there's a lot of rain and washed out colors. It may also involve a lot more booby shots than I've witnessed, because seriously. Let's look at present time here.

So I think you're giving me too much credit here, actually.

[enigmaestro]

No cake, none. Not after you confessed to loving me negative amount, which was entirely rude might I add.

[boobwindow]

Who really retires in this business, right?
