[egotisticaljerk]

Just in case you didn't hear me the first time, I'll repeat myself:

I don't have time for your childish games. You'll be sorry if you don't leave me alone.

[sixthanimorph]

Are you gonna repeat yourself a second time if they don't listen?

[egotisticaljerk]

[He laughs]. No. I won't have to.

[sixthanimorph]

Yeah? [He smirks in faint amusement.] Why's that?

[egotisticaljerk]

Because I'm pretty sure this mundane of mine is not as tough as she thinks she is.

[sixthanimorph]

Sounds like you're assuming. You know what they say about assuming, right?

[egotisticaljerk]

Wrong. I'm not assuming anything, but enlighten me anyway. What do they say about 'assuming'?

[sixthanimorph]

It makes an ass out of you and me, duh. C'mon, you're seriously gonna tell me you've never heard that one before?

[red_shoes]

It seems the muns have some control over time.

[egotisticaljerk]

Of course I have. I was just wanted to know what you were going to say. [Chuck rolls his eyes.]

[egotisticaljerk]

[Mako.] No one can control time. Not even a mun.

[sixthanimorph]

Uh-huh. [An eyeroll, huh? Two can play that game.] Lay some knowledge down on me then, smart guy. You got intel on your mundane somehow?

[red_shoes]

I am afraid they do, Mr. Hansen. I am not part of Science Division to explain how, but they have power to "backdate" and "update" and decide "pull points".

[egotisticaljerk]

Plenty. [Smirks] I know her fears and likes. And why do you need to know exactly? She's not your mundane.

[egotisticaljerk]

No one should have that kind of power. [Though it could work to Chuck's advantage.] Like they're playing some kind of god.

[sixthanimorph]

Doesn't mean I don't got one of my own to deal with. Knowing how to find a mundane's likes and their fears... that could be really useful, you know? Assuming you're not just talking out your ass.

[red_shoes]

They are no more gods than those the Kaiju cult worship. It does not stop them from finding time for their games.

[egotisticaljerk]

Well, I don't have time for their 'games'. They need a new hobby.

[egotisticaljerk]

I'm not. [Entirely.] It's not that hard,y a know. You're in their head space.

[sixthanimorph]

Yeah, and they're in yours too. What're you saying, you found a way to listen in? Are you some kinda psychic?

[red_shoes]

You said that. Three times.

[This is why she prefers the dog.]

Have you tried asking politely?

[egotisticaljerk]

I--whatever. [Max gets all the attention.]

No. Nice guys always finish last, Miss Mori.

[egotisticaljerk]

No. Let's just say I have experience with neural links.

[sixthanimorph]

Huh. And here I thought you were a soldier.

[egotisticaljerk]

A ranger. And don't you forget it, kid.

[red_shoes]

[Finishing first may not be the best thing.]

Better the last man standing than one who is finished.
