[gezellighe]

[It's that guy.]

. . . cat.

[doctor_tyrant]

[And he doesn't recognize you... not yet.]

... Hm? Why, yes, I do have a cat. Would you like to speak to him?

[gezellighe]

I'd rather talk to my bunny.

[In the most serious voice, too.]

[doctor_tyrant]

Mm. And I'm sure you have a nice bunny. Just who are you? How did you know I had a cat?

He's sleeping right now, so he couldn't have been mewling.

[gezellighe]

I don't mean that kind of cat.

I mean the one you used to destroy part of my house.

[He remembers those green eyes, at least.]

[doctor_tyrant]

... [Oh, he damaged many houses that day. That isn't giving him much of a clue.]

I see, I see! But your house was able to repair itself, correct? I don't see the problem with this.

[gezellighe]

You ran over my tulips too.

[And that's unforgivable.]

[doctor_tyrant]

Ah, but at least you still have your health.

[Look at all the fucks he gives. There's very little.]

[gezellighe]

Why didn't you die when I shot you?

. . . over and over.

[That was actually a pretty good memory. He sounds a bit self-satisfied.]

[doctor_tyrant]

Why indeed. Let me answer your question with another question: what would you call a human that has surpassed humanity? To the point where a single bullet no longer makes a difference.

[gezellighe]

I wouldn't call that a human.

And don't answer questions with questions.

[doctor_tyrant]

A king, my friend. A tyrant. An empire cannot be dismantled with but a single bullet. And that is why you were not able to kill me.

Because I am Mayfield's new tyrant.

[gezellighe]

You're not even a nation.

[Blah blah. He's probably heard that one before, Doc.]

[doctor_tyrant]

No. But I am he who rules all nations.

[gezellighe]

I definitely wouldn't follow you.

[doctor_tyrant]

Then you will be crushed. My policies are quite simple that way.
