01. Got a high five from a Superman stripper tonight

02. Omg the world wants us to be better people I refuse

03. Handcuffs. Recoverd. I'm a goddamn detective.

02 because i laughed so hard

[therewillbelight]

Can you at least entertain the thought?

there are times a tfln just speaks to the soul. this is one of those times.

[wentalong]

Give me one solid reason why I should
And by solid not any frou frou crap about how I'll feel better
I want facts that point out what I get from trying to be better

it's glorious, it had to be done

[therewillbelight]

[ uh, shoot, give him a minute, give him a minute... ]

If we're better men than the other people currently on the force, and we actually do the right thing and lock criminals up, put them away and keep them there, we won't be arresting the same people over and over. And crime will drop.

We'll have time to eat lunch.

thank god there are gordons to answer the call

[wentalong]

[ ...well, SHIT. that did not end where he expected it and it's a real legit reason. ]

Is a pain in the ass when you get yanked off like Galahad on some do-good and I can't finish my hot dog

[therewillbelight]

[ He's still full of all that do-good stuff but he's starting to learn to play the game. Sell people on what's important to them. ]

Think of all those peaceful lunches we'll have.

[wentalong]

[ just keep the goody stuff on your own plate it gives him indigestion when he just wants to enjoy cart food ]

I could probably finish getting my protection money in like half the time than it takes right now

[therewillbelight]

[ alkdjflkdjf.

Easy, Jim, easy. Baby steps. One thing at a time. ]

Yeah, I imagine all kinds of opportunities will open for you.

[wentalong]

All right this doesn't entirely sell it but it's the first real point you've made

[ well there's also the whole knight in shining armor thing going for jim but harv's going to see soaring pork before admitting it's starting to grow on him ]

Speaking of opportunity I'm at Achmeds right now you want falafel or something

[therewillbelight]

[ Progress is progress. Even if it's at a snail's pace. Patience, Grasshopper, Jim. ]

Yeah. You eating there or coming back?

[wentalong]

That's the catch 22 if I eat here you're gonna call me about halfway into my lunch because there's something at the station I need to see
If I bring it back SOMETHING is going to happen that you feel you gotta run off and check
The lunch struggle is real

[therewillbelight]

What if I come join you?

03

[delving]

Yes. Yes, you are...

[wentalong]

That's years of training for you
And the badge
The badge is also important

03

[quaestio]

Did you leave them in a bar again?

[wentalong]

Jesus Nygma how do you even have this number

[ bullock do you know what tact is ]

[quaestio]

Oh, I have everyone's number. In case of a crisis, I took all the essential numbers I needed from the GCPD systems. Technically it's not illegal to do so.

[just be glad the text isn't in the form of a riddle. yet.]

[wentalong]

[ there are so many things to take issue with here but most importantly ]

In what cold frozen hell of a crisis would you ever call ME

[quaestio]

In case I need something broken. Like a door or lock or a criminal. Maybe. What you lack in intelligence you more than make up for in brute strength.

[please don't use that brute strength to break him in half.]

[wentalong]

Ok that's a fair point I'm good at that but that doesn't mean I'm not still smart I'm super smart all right let's get that one thing straight

[ wait another point matters ]

Also don't bring the technically up to anyone else they might not see it that way

[quaestio]

You're not stupid but I wouldn't class you in a 'super smart' kind of league. Maybe average. I don't know. Have you ever considered an IQ test?

[He'd love to compare and contrast with his far superior brain to others.]

I know, I have to respect 'boundaries'. And I do, I don't text people unless I need them for a very specific reason that I myself cannot handle.

[wentalong]

No because tests are stupid

[ eddie that is not the point of having f- okay not friends because harv doesn't do friends but. what. general acquaintances? yeah that sounds all right ]

Even then they're going to ask how you knew their digits but whatever I did my due diligence just try not to hack anything else important

[quaestio]

No they're not. They're a way to analyse and establish performances and goals based on academic challenges. I always do exceptionally well at tests.

[oh come on they're such friends. best friends. such bros. bros who will compare academic abilities for Eddie's pride and general smugness. cause that's what friends are for right?]

People aren't that clever with their personal details, most have them on social media and all over the net. You can find a lot about people without hacking. Their name, address, how many kids they have, pets, hobbies, spending habits, etc

[wentalong]

[ yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeah no eddie go back to kindergarten you clearly missed some key points on playing with others in a not weird way ]

Yeah life doesn't actually have that many kinds of tests because school is nothing like the real world

And ok fine fair point but most people don't go through all that like some creepo stalker to collect them all

[quaestio]

[but wasn't the main point of kindergarten to get as many gold stars and show them off to the other kids until they liked you?]

Correct but a proper application of what you learn is achievable and, as they say, scientia potentia est. Or knowledge is power. The more you know, the better you are, the greater chance of doing well in life.

I'm not a stalker, I just like to know about people. And no one will ever tell me these things. [or talk to him for long periods of time. hmm, is it something he's doing wrong?]
