I'm open for comments, you know the deal.

And I actually do have some questions for those of you who know...stuff.

Dr. Horrible!

Hello there!

[xukty]

You're so my idol. I was so sad when you an Penny couldn't get each other in the end.

[horrible_phd]

I could try to send you an autographed picture?

Yeah, that...it's weird having found out before it's even happened--or not happened--to me yet.

[helloharo]

Haro, haro~!

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist! XD I'll delete it if you want me to.

I had a look at your previous conversations...you're thinking of trying to change time and keep Penny alive? How very noble of you.
I'll give you some advice on "messing with space-time stuff", absolutely free of charge, one villain to another.
Don't listen to the people telling you that you shouldn't: it's completely possible. As long as you keep at it in this...roundabout City fashion the Reapers shouldn't catch wind of it. Probably. I'm not getting the weird 'fixed-point-in-time' feeling out of this particular scenario but the City might be messing up my senses, idiotic thing.
(I've encrypted this due to the secret identity. I'm sure you understand. Even if I did hack your encryption.)

ahahaha it's good

It's one thing I wish I could do. It's either that or try to stay here forever.

An actual for real villain is talking to me, what do I do? Ok, play it cool.

Well of course it's possible. I can totally stop time, or I could if I could just solve my supply problems once and for all. What the heck are Reapers?

Oh. Well. At least I remembered to use encryption this time. I mean, very clever, and, er, evil of you to do so. Good job.

[ooc: I would LOVE to plot something if I wasn't going on hiatus tomorrow *sob* But maybe in December?

[neverendingbeat]

I meant it in more of a...possible to change time without creating massive paradoxes sort of way.
You've learned how to stop time? In a contained, little temporally-paused bubble or in a vast, global to universal freeze for everyone but you?

Reapers...nasty, flying, scythe-armed monster-things that try to mend paradoxes by consuming everyone within it. Cauterizing the wound, to put it metaphorically. I always found them quite amusing, really. Back when I was still a kid, I invented a game where I'd create a paradox, wait for them to show up and then fix it shortly after, forcing them to dissipate. The screech of disappointment they make just before retreating back into the Void is completely worth the effort.

Try and take a few deep breaths, Doctor. Also, you don't have to refer to everything I do as evil. Sometimes I even do things that are just neutral. Hard to believe, I know but true.

[ooc: I'd be up for December-plotting, definitely. :D]

[horrible_phd]

More like the bubble thing, but specifically focused on an object. Or person.

I've never heard of anything like that. That's...really weird, actually. And disturbing.

Neutrality has it's own advantages, sure. Who are you?

Bad Horse (Bad Horse), Bad Horse (Bad Horse)!
You’re stuck here in the City, glad to do your own thing,
but now we’ve come a-callin’, without our tell-tale ring,
you shrink back in your seat, realizing we could give you a sting.

[equusmaluschoir]

Your comfort’s grown,
your interest’s waned,
The ELE,
No longer your gain.
