[unrecked]

I have never met a single well-behaved and polite child in my life, so this seems fake.

[guestservices]

That sounds like a you problem.

[unrecked]

[is this ray, jan]

It sounds like a shitty little kid problem. But don't worry, I put up with one of those on a bi-weekly basis most of the time. You two would maybe get along.

[guestservices]

[who knows]

No thanks. If they're as much of a pain as you, that just sounds like a headache.

[unrecked]

Well, he can be a pain in my ass, but you two seems a lot alike. So you’d probably like him better than me.

What else is new.

[guestservices]

I hate people in general, so probably not.

[unrecked]

Funny, so does he.

[guestservices]

Haven't you ever heard about magnets repelling?

[unrecked]

Sure. You’re being pretty hard on Little D, though. He needs more friends.

I’d say you could probably use a few, but I assume you’ll tell me the same thing I tell everyone else. Don’t need ‘em.

[guestservices]

Please stop trying to hire me as a nanny.

[unrecked]

Hah. Your credentials are absolutely terrible for a nanny position, so no.

Besides, we already have Alfred.

[guestservices]

Great, so he's covered and you can stop trying to foist him onto others.

[unrecked]

Hey, I'm just trying to make some friendly connections for him. He doesn't need a babysitter, he needs a friend. I'm helping.

[he is not]

[guestservices]

[jason,]

Somehow, I doubt that.

[unrecked]

[He laughs.]

Give me a little credit. [No.] Got a question. What kind of deals do you like making?

[guestservices]

Don't you already have a deal going on?

[unrecked]

Yeah, but wouldn't mind having two under the belt. Why? Going to tell me I can't and to get lost?

[guestservices]

Yeah, just focus on the one you have right now. Get too greedy and it'll come back to bite you.

[unrecked]

I'm not scared. I'm already in a murder hotel via hostage negotiations. Besides, that deal is a little more long term. Takes a while to work out, if at all.

Why can't I have one that works a bit sooner?

[guestservices]

Should've thought of that before you made it, then! But seriously, it's not a thing where you go around making deals with everyone. Do you know how much work that'd be for all of us?

[unrecked]

Nah, don't get me wrong. I don't want a deal with everyone. That's just stupid. You know how much work that'd be for me? Wanted maybe two. Something big, something small.

I'm only asking around because I want to make it with the right person for whatever I plan.

[guestservices]

Well, like I said. [they shake their head.] You made one already, so live with it. The others will give you the same answer.

[unrecked]

Yeah? I got a different one before. You change policy, or is it because of how severe my deal is?

[guestservices]

Let's just say too many people trying too many times.

[unrecked]

[A snort.]

I see. Makes sense, I guess. Feels like I'm back in school getting punished because other people are doing something stupid.
