[ She sends a picture of the other him, for good measure. He is noticeably Not Fat.]

[riddleman]

Maybe you should be. You could do a lot worse than him. But Oswald doesn't date.

Huh. Well. I presume that'd be... Me? There's a quality there, I can admit that.

[itistolaugh]

omfg i DARE you to suggest me and oswald should date to his face

[riddleman]

A dare?

Oh, you are on. What's in it for me?

[itistolaugh]

uh it's going to be hilarious. that's not enough for you?

[riddleman]

No, I like proper stakes. In exchange, I'll make sure to suggest it in front of you.

[itistolaugh]

i'll be your best friend?

[riddleman]

Sorry, lady. That position's taken.

[itistolaugh]

weird that usually works

[riddleman]

Really? Wow. You must have a lot of best friends.

Kind of lowers the value of that offer.

[itistolaugh]

i have a lot of love to give

now go ahead and make another comment about my low value and see how that turns out for you

[riddleman]

'Best' suggest a certain exclusiveness, wouldn't you agree?

But in exchange for your friendship, sure. I'll tell Oswald to take you out. In front of you.

[itistolaugh]

i can be a best friend for a lot of people. that doesn't have to mean they're mine too. you know not everything is fair like that.

[riddleman]

Just be a friend to me. I only need one best friend. He's more than enough.

So, what does friendship mean to you?

[ She did not realize there would be so many essay questions. She starts to write something, gets bored, and spams emojis instead. SUNSHINE! UNICORNS! RAINBOWS! HOLDING HANDS! ]

[riddleman]

[Hey, whatever, he can roll with that.]

I really need to brush up on the tech here.

Can you help me with that?

[itistolaugh]

Lucky you, I'm practically an expert and getting sad grandpas up to speed. You'll catch on easy peasy.

[riddleman]

Excellent. I'd appreciate it. Where I'm from, we still use phones with buttons.

[itistolaugh]

DO THEY FLIP

[riddleman]

Sure do. State of the art.

In Gotham.

[itistolaugh]

oh my god are you 80

[riddleman]

I'm not. It's just that our technology seems to be lagging behind a little.

At least in some areas.

[itistolaugh]

you have a lot to look forward to

[riddleman]

I know.

I really have to hit up an arcade. Do you like video games?

[itistolaugh]
