Found something to hang the work clothes on.
Can’t find any for mine. Think I should patent them?

Who has the copyrights, anyway? …I’ll find out later. If it’s LexCorp, I’ll buy you dinner.
Later.

You are so odd. What are you doing awake, and how exactly did you find that link?
An obscure company has the rights. Metascene, I think it’s called. I don’t like anyone profiting from the name, but it’s well known Superman doesn’t endorse them. You failed me, B, a big corporation owns the rights to Superman and it’s not you, so you owe me dinner anyway.
Go to bed already,
Clark.

Me, odd?
I just got in, haven’t gone to bed yet. Will do soon. Had a good night, thus I write you to share the rare occurrence of me being in a good mood at 9 am. Very rare indeed.
Found the link at a design spotter. Gotta keep up with the trends, Clark. It’s good for tactical reasons and business reasons, but you can probably guess I also like pretty things.
I’ll look into Metascene and let you know if it’s LexCorp or not. I bet it is. Luthor owning Superman’s rights would indeed make me look like a fool, wouldn’t it? Sorry for failing at life.
Dinner shall be bought by me.
Later,
B.

You are the crown piece of an oddity collector’s collection. That’s how odd. You like pretty things? You write me to show me a Superman hanger and to tell me you like pretty things?
I really don’t know what to make of that statement or how to follow it up, so I’ll just let you talk about it at your own pace.
I’m glad you had a good night. I guess you went to bed already; I hope you have a good sleep too, so the pleasantries extend to later today. Sorry it took me so long to reply, I was in a meeting with Perry. Lombard gets on my nerves like you have no idea; he’s like Guy on steroids. Yeah, I know you would like him too. Anyway, got an editorial to write on tonight’s debate, so I’m back to work.
Even if you do owe me big for not having the rights to Superman, you don’t fail at life. I guarantee it.
I’ll see you tonight,
Clark

Got Babs looking into Metascene, since I’m at work. I want to go back home, slept like hell.
If I’m a bitch at the meeting tonight, pay no heed.
I am miserable. Much hate upon the world.

Don’t hate the world, just get some coffee, or go home. You’re the boss, you can get out early. Unless Lucius would chew you out?
I never pay you heed when you’re being unreasonable. I trust you to do the same! Or, pay heed and don’t let me be mind controlled. I’m like honey to those mind controlling flies.
Cheer up, B. Where are you taking me out for dinner?
Clark.

I got *more* coffee. My hate upon the world has diminished a bit. And I can’t go home, I need to finish signing a bunch of papers and reading a new union pact. Lucius would kill me. Lucius is a slave driver. He runs a tight company.
I always pay you heed.
How can I ignore the mind control when you always try to kill me? We gotta talk about that.
So, anyway. Yes, I do like pretty things. Good clothes and nice suits and shoes. Oh, Clark, if you knew how much I like shoes. I know it sounds ridiculous. You already know my penchant for… accessories, so to speak. Watches. A good watch is better than sex, Clark. …better than mediocre sex, at least. You know how I like things. Elegant, sleek, clean lines… yeah. I like pretty things.
Sorry you have to deal with Lombard on daily basis. Hanging out with Guy was hard enough… thought you missed out on that, so maybe you deserve the Lombardness of your life for leaving me holding the bag with Guy those years. Good luck on the editorial. You gonna be on time for the meeting tonight?
I’ll pay for dinner, but you choose the place. City. Whatever. Cannot think atm.
Later,
B.

Does that mean you’re not buying me dinner anymore?
Can’t believe Alan owns Superman. That’s… who wants to disappoint Alan? Should Superman endorse his company? Should I talk with him? I don’t know why Superman hadn’t bothered to check the owner of the rights, what should I do? B! Fix this!!
I’m off work now. I’ll see you at the meeting.
Think of something.
