what can he do?

[slightlyoffchilt]

He is a master manipulator.




Do not take that as a challenge. I mean it.

[abduxel]

wouldn't dream of it.

what are you so concerned he would manipulate reggie or me to do?

[slightlyoffchilt]

To hurt yourselves. In order to hurt me.

[abduxel]

oh, would you be hurt if I hurt myself, frederick?

[slightlyoffchilt]

You are part of my staff. Mine. Any attack upon you will be considered warfare.

[abduxel]

im touched, really

can you print text messages? I want to frame these

I'm sure I can handle him but your concern is noted

I suggest you just don't let reggie talk to him

[slightlyoffchilt]

There will be no printing of our textual conversations, Abduxel.

I was hoping you would rein in Reggie. He is somewhat irate with me, for no reason.

[abduxel]

for no reason? come on, we both know better than that

I'll rein him in and keep him from Hannibal Lecter IF you convince him that I managed to destroy the footage

[slightlyoffchilt]

The footage.

Reggie is on you about that? I wondered why he dropped the subject with me. Bit insecure, isn't he?

[abduxel]

understatement of the year

2/2

[abduxel]

we should post it on the network, if you ask me

anyway, does that sound like a good deal to you?

[slightlyoffchilt]

As long as I lie for you, then you'll ensure that Reggie doesn't commit unwitting suicide.

What do you get out of it? What do you get if Reggie feels secure once more?

[abduxel]

what do you mean? you think I'm so opportunistic? I get satisfaction that my friend has peace of mind

[slightlyoffchilt]

Of course you're opportunistic. That is why I hired you.

Well, partially why.

So confess.

[abduxel]

OK fine. I'm proud anyway

he'll owe me an unspecified favor

[slightlyoffchilt]

Dangerous deal to make with a demon. Even more so if he ever finds out the truth.

I have a blank tape you could break up into pieces, just to show him.

[abduxel]

as long as it looks like the real thing. it's got to be as authentic as possible. preferably, it should even have some kind of footage on it.

[Reading between the lines: so that the deal is technically fulfilled, because of how vaguely Reggie worded the request.

He doesn't address the dangerous deal. Tellingly.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

I do not have any gay pornography on hand. If you would be so kind to provide, then fine.

Otherwise it'll be whatever I no longer need.

[abduxel]

why don't you and i just make some of our own, then, hm?

[slightlyoffchilt]

This was the most elaborate proposal line I have ever encountered. Ever.

[abduxel]

i expertly planned it. i'm glad you can appreciate the delicate, demonic craftmanship ♥

[slightlyoffchilt]

The things I do to ensure that neither you nor Reggie end up on Hannibal's dinner table. I mean, really.

[abduxel]

[abduxel]

anyway, your struggle is well worth it. rest assured, reggie will be safe if you do this. well... from hannibal, anyway
