The delight you take in my pain makes me regret any comment involving the phrase "kindred souls".

As for verses, this one where Talia did not survive is unacceptable for many reasons. If you snicker one more time while calling this hiding "licking my wounds" I will find new and inventive ways of inflicting pain. Just for you.

They dare?

Muns seem to believe they are above reproach.

Licking your wounds. After Talia.

Yet some of these citizens see us as the monster? Their eyes need opening.

Yes.

The more of us the better. We have the mask. They'll learn what we are.

Your mundane does not sound worth your time, my friend.

[She won't comment on the 'not surviving' piece of what was said.]

A truth I don't believe I can escape. At least not easily.

No, I suppose not. None of us can.

Still. If you can inflict any pain on them, it might be worth your while to try, if they take such delight in tormenting you.

If she felt the need to make jokes at the expense of others, perhaps she should have played this game with the Bat.

Perhaps. I don't know she would think you were one who is easily bullied.

What she thinks and what is true are not the same thing.

I know. You are not someone to be trifled with, my friend.

As with many things, I will endure what I must for the reality of what I want.

Be careful not to push yourself too far.

I will go as far as I must. How else might success happen?

You are right. But you'll have to forgive me my concern, my friend.

I will never forgive it as it is never unwanted. Your concern reminds me I'm not alone.

And you never will be, if you wish me to be at your side.

I would never wish otherwise.

I am glad for that.

Your mundane, what does she have in store for you?

She speaks with some about recovery, from the cannon and who knows what else. I know she stands by the things I've done. Where I go from here depends on so much.

What of yours?

I am glad you will recover, at least. Hopefully where you go from there is kind to you.

She means to send me somewhere. A game revolving around an internet community, from what I understand.

I'm not sure it is the best. In at least one of her plans I believe I'll be in the Bat's underground lair.

That does not sound nearly as bad as some I've seen but alone? Are there others there?

I hope she means for you to be his tormenter there, and not him as yours.

There is one of Gotham's policeman there, the Detective Blake. Beyond that, there is no one.

It would seem we are both destined to have dealings with this Blake. He is who will be in that cave, not the Bat himself.

Then I hope he does not make himself too much of a nuisance for you.

I wish the same for you. I would tell you to be safe, but I have no doubts you can handle whatever may come.

I will be fine. One Gotham policeman is no challenge at all.

I didn't think one Bat would be a challenge either. Not against the force he took on.

...he had more perserverance than we thought. But we know better now.

Our continued survival proves he underestimates us as well. A powerful position to be in.

Indeed. And we have learned from our past attempts. We will be more ready for him now.

...Talia... Why does that name sound sorta familiar?

I could say it is a common name. At least in some parts of the world.

Is it? I wouldn't know - I don't get outta Gotham much.

Dunno what you plan to do to your mun - can't beat 'em up from inside their head, ya know!

((OoC: Just wondering - is it okay if some Arkham City spoilers are mentioned? I don't know if they'll come up in the conversation, but I figure it's best to ask))

That does not speak well for you given howe infested Gotham is.

Why can't I? They seem to find the phrase: Pain is in the mind humourous. Why not show they why it isn't funny?

((ooc: Oh sure. Any spoilers are fine!))

Oh, I just can't help myself - Gotham's just so much fun! Can't think of many places that'd just ship me off to a nuthouse after everything that I've done!

Guess that works - I just stick with trying to drive my mun bonkers. ...Speaking of which, I just pulled a doozy on ol' Pointy Ears - I'd be surprised if he doesn't finally lose it once the night's over!

((OoC: Okay, thanks!))

I can't argue that, not that the prisons in Gotham are any more secure or determined on keeping the prisoners in.

I admit curiosity.

Oh, definitely - those aren't even a challenge for me to break out of. At least Arkham takes me a couple of hours!

Great! Well, I won't bore you with the details - a lotta it has to do with the you that I know, so you might get confused - but I wound up getting horribly poisoned as an unfortunate side effect of one of my plans. So, I took the logical step towards solving that problem - I pumped Bats full of my blood, made him find a cure, and shot his girlfriend when I found out that she took the cure from my minions! Right in front of him too, so it might just drag him over the edge!

Well well. You should write bedtime stories because I could definitely fall asleep to that again and again and again.

If it doesn't, it could still be twisted into a happy ending.

Yep! Munster won't tell me the ending, but I know how it'll go down - I'll wind up becoming immortal and leveling Gotham, like how all of my stories should end. I suppose I should be thanking whats-her-name, the Ghoul lady - she led me right to that pit in the first place! Wonder if she had any other secrets like that? ...Well, too late to find out now! Bahahahaha!

The Ghoul lady? I'm curious too, which girlfriend it was you shot. The one I'm familiar with in the catsuit or another?

Nope! Almost shot her, but Bats pulled her out of the way. No, this one was different - said she worked for Rash Argyle or something. [That's Ra's al-Ghul, but he'll never get that right.] ...Oh right, that was Talia! Oo-hoo-hoo, you should've seen the look on Bats' face!

Anything that she may have secreted away is no business of yours. Trust me on this. That is not a path you want to travel.

[Have a luchadore looking bruiser staring at you for a long time.]

So, you are the one who calls himself Bane. Interesting.

[ That long stare has Bane lifting his chin, a brow arching though that was all of his expression that seemed to change. ]

That is all you have to say? It does not match that stare, does it?

It is interesting to me, considering I was the first to use that name.

First is a good thing to be. Not the only though. Given I've had talks with myself, that isn't surprising.

Ah, but you and I are two very different people. You define your actions by the approval of Talia Al'Ghul. I have met her, and worked in tandem with her and her father, but we were never any more than passing acquaintances.

I am a self-made man. I dragged myself out of Hell on Earth with nothing but my own strength, cunning, and intellect. I broke down the Bat, deduced his identity, and ruled Gotham for my own pleasure.

In a way, to call yourself Bane is an insult to me. I was the first; the definition. You are nothing more than a glorified lackey to a vengeful banshee.
