But you really should not. She already thinks badly of you. Given you killed her fiancé.

Why not start with 'hello'

[plotarmored]

Well, I'd really not text anyone anything like that either, but I wasn't exactly sober.

Hello, huh? You know how to talk to the ladies.

[asyoulike]

with respect and interest when not inebriated? Correct.

[plotarmored]

Yeah, well.

If that was true, Harvey would never get laid.

Sorry. Hungover.

[asyoulike]

Harvey informs me that he has a 'way with the ladies' so I assume this negates everything else.

I have no way with the ladies. I'm very thankful.

Would you like some advise for your hangover?

[plotarmored]

Honestly, I think I'd be better off if I didn't have a way with the ladies too.

I already hydrated and took some aspirin, so I should be fine in a bit. Regretful, but fine. Thanks, Lucius.

[asyoulike]

I think you'd not be. You can't help what you want.

No worries. If you need anything, let me know.

[plotarmored]

Probably not. Masochist or something.

Thanks. You are a good guy, Lucius. What's up with you?

[asyoulike]

Is it rude to suggest you work on your social skills to avoid this kind of pain in future.

I'm helping detective Bullock with a case and he's helpfully calling me varying names critiquing my intelligence

[plotarmored]

I think the best advice would be to turn my phone off next time I get drunk.

It's because he feels stupid around me. You don't really mind, right? That's just Harvey.

[asyoulike]

That solves one of the problems. What about the rest?

No, I don't mind. I did assume. I like Harvey regardless of the way he speaks and just generally is.

[plotarmored]

What rest?

You kinda have to. You're in trouble when you start liking him for that. I fell down that rabbit hole.

[asyoulike]

Oh. You didn't realise?

Then never mind. Doesn't matter.

Despite the GCPD being difficult with its insensitive language, mockery and exclusion, I find it's a more honest place to work than anywhere I have before. I credit a lot of that to Harvey.

[plotarmored]

...please tell me.

Well, if you don't start collecting body parts or going insane, you are doing better than any of your predecessors.

[asyoulike]

Your poor social skills aren't exclusive to when you're drunk.

Excellent. I assume one of those was Nygma?

[plotarmored]

Can't argue with that. I'm not a people person, people just think I am.

As you well know. I also kinda think that he might have been the one to smuggle body parts into the old examiner's locker. But that guy wasn't the best, so.

[asyoulike]

How unfortunate. People never make that mistake with me.

Ah. So the ends justified the means for you. Got it. Still problematic but okay. At least Edward was good at his job before the entire mental collapse.

[plotarmored]

We all have our cross to bear.

I wouldn't say justified, but I'm not in any hurry to hire that guy back. I'm glad we have you now.

Ed was good. I thought he was a good man. I don't know, Lucius, this city. It gets to people.

[preened]

Can I get a wand?

[adverse]

do you ever get bored hearing yourself talk, jimmy?
that self righteousness would put any good soul to sleep

[adapts]

i stole a bunch of people's phones and have been texting butch from each and every one of them.

[ you said ... ]

[adapts]

maybe for you, but i know how to work a text message. just scored me some $100 by reworking yours.
:)

[oldsausage]

You can get a broom if you want.

[plotarmored]

...why?!

[preened]

YES YOU'RE THE BEST ALFRED
