Well, you'd be amazed at how much research I can fit into my life now I have the time.

Nothing can heighten my magnum opus more brilliantly than occasionally delving my hands into the basics.

[Now he has no life whatsoever. THANKS, GUYS.]

[boobwindow]

Get a hobby, like knitting or Netflix.

[restingstitchface]

Why? Research is my favorite pastime, and now I find myself with more time for it.

I do not particularly think Netflix fascinates me. There is something to be said of the experience of walking through a store and browsing the shelves. But such magical experiences pale in comparison to the real thing.

[boobwindow]

We're not your guinea pigs for whatever "research" you're working on.

[restingstitchface]

Of course you're not.

You're participants in a clinical trial.

[Duh.]

[boobwindow]

We are not your anything.
Are you here to annoy me again or do you actually have something valuable to say?

[restingstitchface]

Again. What a fascinating word. I did more than annoy you the first time, wouldn't you say? I don't think it is good of you to lie.

Unless that, too, is acceptable behavior when people deserve it.

[boobwindow]

You deserve a lot more than a broken window.

[restingstitchface]

Well, you can come over and do something about that, then. Unless you're chicken.

[Cluck. Cluck. Cluck.]

[boobwindow]

[ It does make her angry, but she forces herself to remain rooted to where she is. ]

I'm the coward? Take a good look in the mirror first, Scarecrow.

[restingstitchface]

Now, it's not cowardice to use what we've been given. For some of us, that's intelligence. I'm just using the tools available, here.

[Using all those people.]

[boobwindow]

You're hiding behind a little screen, harassing people like some kind of basement dwelling troll instead.
You're pathetic. It's not cowardice to not want to deal with you in person. It's saving myself a splitting HEADACHE.

[restingstitchface]

[Excuse YOU.]

Now, that's a self-righteous thing to say, seeing as you hide behind a name, too afraid to show your real face.

Regardless, if I come over there and say this to you in person you'll have a more favorable opinion of me?

[Well, no she won't. He knows that.

And what's house arrest, anyway?]

[boobwindow]

I don't harass people for your information.

[ She really wants to smack him in the face right now. ]

Keep dreaming. I'll dump your ass on the curb.

[restingstitchface]

The curb. Not the couch, then?

[He's not taking this seriously at all.]

[boobwindow]

Do you WANT to be punched in the face?

[restingstitchface]

I want to see you try.

[boobwindow]

As tempting as it is, it would also be giving you the satisfaction.
I won't do that.

[restingstitchface]

No you won't.

But what if your cousin decides to pay me a visit. Pray tell, what then?

[boobwindow]

He won't.

[restingstitchface]

Not this time. But what about the second? I'm quite certain he'd be willing to walk on by the third time I contact you. Don't you agree?

[boobwindow]

He's smarter than you think.

[restingstitchface]

Of course he is.

For the opposite is too terrible to contemplate, isn't it?

[boobwindow]

Why are you interested in him?

[restingstitchface]

His hopes. His fears. They must be fascinating given his origin. Are they the same as the original? Or are they different? Tell the truth, I'm mainly intrigued by him for the same reason I was intrigued by Superman. I'm as much a chemist as I am a psychologist, you know. Can you guess what that means?

[Does he want to witness the effects of his toxin on superpowered aliens? Hell. Yes.]
