Well, well, what is this little beauty doing here? And all made up for me? I even see some handwriting I know. Guess I’m honored to join this little club. Normally I would say something this intricate could only come from the mind of a Mr. Stark, but I see no concealed weaponry or electricity here. I may have to find the clown who left this on my

Hammer, hm? I suppose you were due to turn up here eventually.

[takehisbird]

You think so? Why's that, er..? [He may or may not be playing dumb as to if he knows this is Osborn or not.]

[sideshowboss]

[ A slight pause. ] Osborn. Maybe you've heard of me.

[takehisbird]

[Oh crap, don't piss him off.]

Ah. Norman. Sure have, of course. Lots of things, recently, in fact.

[sideshowboss]

[ He would be smiling, were this real life. ]

Oh, really? Now I'm curious.

But as I was saying. It seems like most of the important names around the city turn up in here eventually.

[takehisbird]

[Have a pause for his stroked ego to purr.]

Hell, it's turning out to be quite the party, here. Still not quite sure what the point of it is, though.

[sideshowboss]

None of us do yet, as far as I can tell.

[takehisbird]

Huh. A little sinister, isn't it? And we don't know who made it?

[sideshowboss]

We don't. It's curious, really.

[takehisbird]

Well I don't get it. A patent on this sort of thing would be worth a fortune.

[Maybe with a little more research--]

[sideshowboss]

It's too bad no one has figured out how they work.

[takehisbird]

Any federal agencies get a hold of them? This seems like their sort of bag.

[sideshowboss]

Not that I'm aware of.

[takehisbird]

Hm, I'm not one for conspiracy theory anyway.

But how's business for you, Norman?

[sideshowboss]

Business is good, Hammer. How about for you?

[takehisbird]

Ah, I'd heard things were rather... quiet. [Justin is careful on how to put it, considering the other people reading and not wanting his head bitten off.]

But I'd say pretty damn good after some good old stock market fortune. Not that I'd know how that happened.
