[heliophilic]

This is M. I'm most likely out punching someone. Don't worry, they deserve it.

Probably.

I'll call you back later.

[pobrecisco]

Hey, you're not wrong. Art imitating life, etcetera, etcetera. But it gets a little heavy handed sometimes.

[heliophilic]

As the one with all of the movie experience in this situation, I'll have to take your word for it.

[pobrecisco]

[ He laughs lightly. ]

Hey, if you're down for it, I'll turn you into a movie buff yet.

[heliophilic]

I've never seen the point before.

[I mean, why watch people punching things when you actually punch things?]

[pobrecisco]

Well, what do you do in your downtime? Other than find some of the best food in Florida.

[heliophilic]

I've... never been a fan of downtime. I finish one job, then I move on to the next.

[pobrecisco]

So you don't have any hobbies?

[heliophilic]

Punching people is a hobby, and one I'm extremely fond of.

[pobrecisco]

[ He laughs, light and amused. He's never known anyone quite so fond of violence, but somehow it's almost endearing on M. If a little intense. ]

At least you punch people who deserve it.

[heliophilic]

Yeah well as long as I'm a man-shaped Mongoose I might as well point myself at man-shaped Vipers.

[He doesn't consider what he does heroic. He yearns for violence, but he just refuses to give into it blindly.]

[pobrecisco]

Better than being a viper yourself, right?

[heliophilic]

There's a very thin line between viper and mongoose.

[pobrecisco]

[ He can't help trying to lighten the mood a little, and M can probably easily picture the hint of smartass grin on his face. ]

Taxonomically speaking, they're pretty different.

[heliophilic]

[M snorts. He can absolutely picture it.]

Oh, sure, bring science into this.

[pobrecisco]

Oh, science was already here. It's omnipresent.

[heliophilic]

Everything's going to be science with you, isn't it?

[pobrecisco]

Hey, that's what you get when you date a scientist.

[heliophilic]

My mistake.

I'll be sure to date a supermodel next time. Then the only sparkling dialogue they can provide is about themselves.

[pobrecisco]

Well, I mean, if that's what you're into...

[heliophilic]

What, you going to start talking entirely about yourself now?

[pobrecisco]

I could! Be careful what you wish for.

[heliophilic]

And what would that sound like exactly?

Let me guess, it would involve science.

[pobrecisco]

You guess correctly, dude. Science, movies, and dinosaur chicken nuggets.

[heliophilic]

You and those damn nuggets.

[Can you hear his intense head shaking? Can you?!?]

[pobrecisco]

[ He laughs. ]

Maybe I can be convinced to talk about bratwurst instead.
