Come with me if you don't want paint on your clothes.

Stay right there. I'm coming to rescue you. Don't. Panic.

We're going to go kick some ass.

It's fear.

[darknessb4me]

What's wrong with fear?

[deadly_ned]

It isn't how I like to win.

[darknessb4me]

I enjoy fear.

[deadly_ned]

You wouldn't enjoy it if it happened to you.

[darknessb4me]

I'm not afraid of paint.

[deadly_ned]

Would you be afraid of being a hostage?

[darknessb4me]

I'd like to see someone try to take me hostage.

[deadly_ned]

If they could.

Would you be afraid?

[darknessb4me]

Of course not. I would be angry.

[deadly_ned]

Can't you empathize with people who are scared? Being scared is one of the worst feelings imaginable. You're so...out of your own control, you're not in charge and nothing seems right..

1/2

[darknessb4me]

I... stop that.

2/2

[darknessb4me]

If I don't scare people, something else will. The world isn't a very empathetic place.

[deadly_ned]

So you scare people to....make them stronger?

[darknessb4me]

No, I scare people because it's fun. The point is, it doesn't matter whether I do or not.

[deadly_ned]

If you knew what it was like to be scared, I don't think you'd find it as fun.

[darknessb4me]

I know what it's like.

[deadly_ned]

And you'd turn around and do it to other people. Knowing what you...know, about fear.

[darknessb4me]

For Light's sake, no one is even getting hurt.

I'll go take the infirmary myself.

[deadly_ned]

I think it's being guarded by Bruce Banner.

[darknessb4me]

Good, maybe he'll show his teeth for once.

[deadly_ned]

It's probably not the best idea to upset the doctor in charge of the infirmary. Just...in case you might end up needing him.
