[Hand is sitting behind her desk, as usual. It's still just as cluttered as before, but unlike before the evacuations, she's now looking much more rested and on her game.]I was hesitant to say anything about this earlier, but it's pretty much completely official now ( Read more... )

Urgency compliments your tone, really. What is it?

voice; encrypted victoriaous June 12 2010, 03:53:56 UTC

I need to talk to you about Norman.

voice; encrypted enigmaestro June 12 2010, 05:22:16 UTC

Ah, your favorite topic. Do continue.

voice; encrypted victoriaous June 12 2010, 05:32:37 UTC

Very funny. I need to know the condition he was in when you found him.

voice; encrypted enigmaestro June 12 2010, 11:05:33 UTC

He was a little green around the gills, so to speak.

Eddie, please, this is serious. Why the hell would Norman put me in charge of his team. I wouldn't be asking you if it wasn't for the fact that you were the one that found him, and, as much as I don't like it, you and Norman work closely with each other.

I assure you, Ms. Hand, I'm not kidding around. Jokes aren't really my calling card.

Heh.

And as for working so closely, well, not everyone can recognize long-term benefits. Take, for example, how plantago major--commonly known as Plantain--is considered nothing more than a weed in contemporary terms. And yet Pliny the Elder had called it a curative herb. Seems counter-intuitive, doesn't it? When the answers come before the questions.

Then, please, tell me everything. It's important, and he isn't going to give me that information, I'm sure.

voice; encrypted enigmaestro June 12 2010, 20:26:45 UTC

My dear, I already have.

[Give her a minute here, because goddammit she can never tell if Eddie is joking or toying with her.

He voice is a little more shaky now.]

I need details, Eddie... We're going to have a very serious problem on our hands otherwise.

How do you mean? It must be fairly severe, if you think Osborn would surrender power--if temporarily--without a good reason.

voice; encrypted victoriaous June 12 2010, 20:44:02 UTC

He wouldn't, even with good reason, and this is right after he returned to the City also. Something must have happened when he was in our universe.

I'm assuming you using "green" wasn't just coincidence, right?

voice; encrypted enigmaestro June 12 2010, 20:52:09 UTC

Well perhaps he did have method behind such madness. But it really depends on when you two discussed this, wouldn't it? When was that?

Victoria. Question. How much do you know about me?

voice; encrypted victoriaous June 12 2010, 21:05:40 UTC

Naturally, I took control of all of his assets and operations when he was deported, but just recently, when he returned, which, by the way, he didn't tell me until days after that he had returned, he's letting me continue operations as director. I assume he wants to be more of a behind the scenes presence for right now, but that's... not like him.

About you? Not as much as I should.

voice; encrypted enigmaestro June 12 2010, 21:09:07 UTC

Well when he was ported back, he asked how much time had passed. A typical question of those who have spent elongated periods of time returned.

Think of this as a lesson in preparation, then.

voice; encrypted victoriaous June 12 2010, 21:21:32 UTC

Don't fuck with me Nygma! It's my job to be prepared, and that's what I will do whether you cooperate or not.

[Her power is going to start kicking in soon]

How much do you really know about Norman Osborn?
