That's the fastest I've seen anyone write anything and then get stuck... Especially something you won't be able to submit for weeks.

You must be really excited. I hope I don't disappoint.

Just, I'm not sure I really like the idea of trying to mooch off a stranger immediately, especially when he's married.

Even if you think he's lonely.

[viced]

Oh. You're going to be mooching off of him?

[snidepiper]

That sounds really ominous, you know.

[viced]

Hey, I'm good at ominous! It's something about presence.

Still, it's Midnighter.

[snidepiper]

I gotcha. Important for a politician to know how to sell something.

So tell me what's wrong with him. Is he gonna bring home BDSM partners?

[bringerofwar]

Married, asshole.

[snidepiper]

Hey, I have compunctions, I didn't want to just assume everybody else does. He's talking about you like you're the roomie from hell.

It's that or serial killer.

[bringerofwar]

He's a tad high strung.

Get used to hyperbole.

[UH NO MIDNIGHTER YOU ARE JUST A HUGE ASSHOLE]

[snidepiper]

So are you saying you'd take me in if I needed it?

[bringerofwar]

[sigh SIGH] I'm not going to say no and send you out there to die for no reason.

Just don't piss me off.

[snidepiper]

...I appreciate it.

He's right about you, isn't he. You really are crazier than Batman.

[viced]

I fucking hope not!

Anyway, as far as I know, he's crazier than Batman.

[snidepiper]

Nobody's crazier than Batman. [okay this is a biased overexaggeration]

[viced]

Uh, no, Midnighter is just a bit crazier.

Believe me, I'd know.

[snidepiper]

[BEAT] What did he do to you?

[viced]

Oh! Nothing. I just know him relatively well, but I know Batman better.

[snidepiper]

...You know Batman.

[bringerofwar]

And you. By extension.

[viced]

Like I've got things to mooch off of!

[bringerofwar]

What, unlike me?

[viced]

I don't know, I thought you might be doing some bounty hunting or some shit like that.

[bringerofwar]

So you're going to be mooching off of me too?

[viced]

Hey, I'm trying to find a job, assface.

[bringerofwar]

Did you just call me "assface."

[viced]

What, does dickhead work better for your delicate sensibilities?

[bringerofwar]

It'd be less embarrassing to hear from a grown ass man.
