There's something rather insulting about having your work so inadequately replicated -- you'd think when putting together another government sponsored team they would beseech the advice of someone with experience. No matter, of course. Quite a shame about that young man. I suppose it's not the team that's inadequate, but rather the unwelcoming

Trust is a fickle thing. Case in point, I can't even trust you to remain quiet for a few otherwise soothing weeks.

[osreborn]

I've been quiet enough. There hasn't been much on the network lately to divert my attention from other things.

[enigmaestro]

I would rather you just surrender your communicator.

[osreborn]

Your brand of wishful thinking is awfully charming.

[disillusionists]

Hmmm.
It depends on what exactly it is you want to hear.

permacrypted

[osreborn]

What is that supposed to mean? I don't want the answer you think I want. I want the real answer.

[disillusionists]

Does this have to do with Nygma?

[osreborn]

What do you think?

[liverletdie]

Really. You must be so insulted.

[osreborn]

I believe I said something to that effect, yes.

[liverletdie]

Because nobody else has ever had a superhero team. Or a government sanctioned superhero team. Or a superhero team with an acronym.

Surely you were a complete original. Of course.

[osreborn]

You do have a talent for hearing things that were never said, Stark. How do you do it? Wait, actually, it's easy when you make everything about yourself. My mistake.

I didn't know you were on a government team.

[enigmaestro]

Haha! This has made my hour.

You're clearly unaware that Norman based his Avengers here on the model he possessed on his origin world, a model heavily supported by government benefactors.

The fact that you didn't know, despite his incessant references during his heyday, is of remarkable hilarity to me. Or was, until you made me explain the joke.

[incywincyhero]

My heart bleeds for you. No, really. I'm also shedding crystalline tears of sympathetic angst into my lace hankie.

voice;

[osreborn]

Empathy is always a good start.

voice;

[incywincyhero]

I bet you'd know all about that. Maybe you can teach me.

voice;

[osreborn]

Oh, gladly. We're long overdue for a little one-on-one, aren't we?
