1:38 PM myownluck: Hello.
1:39 PM edsidlemirth: in hospital
1:40 PM myownluck: Under a name?
edsidlemirth: no
myownluck: They let you keep your phone?
1:41 PM edsidlemirth: i'm clever
myownluck: Cant argue. How are you?
edsidlemirth: in hospital
1:42 PM myownluck: Stupid question, then. Need anything?
edsidlemirth: company
1:44 PM myownluck: Wish I could. Sorry.
edsidlemirth: ok
1:47 PM we can talk, though
1:49 PM myownluck: Yeah. What do you want to talk about?
1:51 PM edsidlemirth: there's a tumor in my brain
myownluck: Fuck.
1:53 PM edsidlemirth: dr said it was growing too fast to be benign
so
myownluck: Fuck. Theyre treating it, right?
1:54 PM edsidlemirth: yes
myownluck: God. I'm sorry, Eddie.
1:55 PM edsidlemirth: I have internet on here but have to behave well
1:58 PM myownluck: At least there's that.
edsidlemirth: yes
1:59 PM I wonder if Arkham will let me have a real therapist
myownluck: I don't know.
2:00 PM I guess you can find out.
edsidlemirth: Geoffrey won't get his job back
2:01 PM myownluck: So they've got to find a new guy.
edsidlemirth: ye
s
2:03 PM I could just bust out of here
myownluck: But then you wouldn't get treatment.
2:04 PM edsidlemirth: I think I left myself outside, though
myownluck: What?
edsidlemirth: This is not how I'm supposed to be
2:07 PM myownluck: But it is. At least for now.
2:08 PM edsidlemirth: no
myownluck: Yes.
2:10 PM edsidlemirth: I'm supposed to be awesome
2:15 PM myownluck: And I'm supposed to be Gotham's District Attorney, married to a woman I love, with both sides of my face. Thinking about whats supposed to be won't make it what is.
2:16 PM edsidlemirth: but then what do I have?
2:29 PM myownluck: I dont know. Thats for you to figure out.
edsidlemirth: you think I'm awesome, right?
not obnoxious
2:32 PM myownluck: I think you can be both. But thats okay.
edsidlemirth: which now?
2:33 PM myownluck: Neither. You're just a guy who found out some really bad news.
And thats okay too.
2:35 PM edsidlemirth: that's okay?
myownluck: Yeah.
2:36 PM edsidlemirth: no
none of this is ok
2:38 PM myownluck: Okay.
2:39 PM edsidlemirth: I need company
2:40 PM myownluck: I'm sorry. I wish I could come visit.
edsidlemirth: yeah
I'd like you to visit
we have to do surgery
2:41 PM myownluck: Damn. When?
edsidlemirth: not right now
that's good, though, because there's too much pressure on my brain
2:42 PM I don't see how they're going to remove it without cutting up the rest of my head. I don't get it.
2:44 PM myownluck: I don't know how that sort of thing works. But I guess they can.
2:46 PM edsidlemirth: I really need company
2:53 PM myownluck: I'm sorry.
edsidlemirth: yeah
sorry
I have to go now
2:54 PM myownluck: Okay. Dont be afraid to get in touch.
Good luck.
edsidlemirth: ok
thankyou

2:59 PM edsidlemirth: are you there?
3:00 PM or busy or something?
knight_so_dark: What do you want?
edsidlemirth: hi
3:01 PM I'm in the hospital right now
I wanted to let you know that I'm going to be dismantling all this current puzzle stuff, ok?
that's not a clue
I'm just doing that
knight_so_dark: I know.
Why?
3:02 PM edsidlemirth: bc I suck right now
3:04 PM you were doing really well
3:05 PM knight_so_dark: I do what I have to, to keep this city safe.
3:06 PM edsidlemirth: I know
but it's not safe to have all these loose ends just sitting around in Gotham, so I'm fixing that.
I may need to send you guys a few locations
3:10 PM knight_so_dark: If you do, they'll be dealt with.
edsidlemirth: cool
3:11 PM I know that you hate me. Thanks for answering, though.
3:13 PM and for being a good oponent
I'll do better somehow
3:14 PM knight_so_dark: I don't hate you. Hate clouds the mind. I disapprove of what you do.
3:15 PM edsidlemirth: what I do is important
3:17 PM I'd much rather tolerate your disapproval than you clouding your mind.
3:18 PM You have to hide your mind, don't you? You'd be recognized.
3:19 PM does that suck?
3:25 PM knight_so_dark: Not everyone needs accolade for what they do.
3:28 PM edsidlemirth: That's true. I do.
3:29 PM I'm exceedingly unimpressive at the moment
this is probably not helpinb
g
3:34 PM knight_so_dark: I don't care either way.
3:35 PM edsidlemirth: oh
3:37 PM That'd cloud your mind too, huh?
3:40 PM knight_so_dark: You're a criminal. No matter how much effort you put into your crimes, there is nothing impressive about what you do.
3:41 PM edsidlemirth: I'll impress you.
I'll figure it out
3:50 PM knight_so_dark: Use your mind for something better than robbery and property damage for attention. Then I'll be impressed.
3:52 PM edsidlemirth: If I'd done that, you wouldn't be impressed. You wouldn't know who I am. I'd be in here texting my gaming buddies to tell them afk brain cancer
3:57 PM knight_so_dark: You assume a lot.
edsidlemirth: sure
3:58 PM who do you admire?
3:59 PM knight_so_dark: No one I'm going to tell you about.
edsidlemirth: ah
4:01 PM Are you into math?
4:05 PM knight_so_dark: Is there a point to this?
4:06 PM edsidlemirth: more of a collection of points on a tangent
4:16 PM knight_so_dark: I have more important things to do.
4:24 PM edsidlemirth: ok
I have important lying here to do
4:25 PM thanks for answering
