Singsong. For want of a nail...

The shoe was lost.

For want of a shoe, the horse was lost.

For want of a horse, the knight was lost.

A slightly manic giggle.

For want of a knight, the battle was lost.

*suspiciously considers this, but replies anyway*

For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost.

And all for the want of a horseshoe nail!

Another giggle.

Very good! You know your rhymes!

Thanks. I know a few of them.

Too few know them anymore! Haven't a clue what I'm talking about!

Even when it comes to nursery rhymes? That's a shame.

Very! They don't appreciate the wit behind it all!

That's too bad. What do you do when you're not reciting nursery rhymes?

Blowing things up! Usually while reciting nursery rhymes!

Bit of a trouble-maker then?

Doing Daddy proud!

He does the same sort of thing?

Of course!

You never get caught?

Weeeell... define "caught."

Does your city's superhero stop you? Or do you sometimes stop yourself?

He tries! He's usually not quick enough to stop me!

Huh. Which superhero is this?

The stupid Bat.

Interesting.

More like "annoying."

I guess so if he's cramping your style. But then again you're blowing stuff up.

Actually, I only blow it up if they're stupid enough to not pay me. Or if they're the mob.

Ah. Well. The mob. It's hard to feel too much sympathy for a majority of its members.

'Specially when they start threatening the rent. Then y'gotta blow somethin' up to remind 'em that y'know how to do it.

...Might be why he didn't try to arrest me when I did that!

OOC: *cough* Must remember to use the right icon set!

That could be why. I mean, it seems like a decent reason to me.

If anyone should understand "retaliation after threat against family," it should be the mob. But nooo.

I think they do but only if it's their family.
