[27] - [Video]

[sharpememory]

[Here's Barron, looking... basically exactly like himself, except in a rather smart suit with his hair slicked back.]

Mysterio, master of memory, welcomes you to Gotham. [Barron smiles, showing way too many teeth.] I will take away your troubles. I will grant you more years with your young ones. I will draw the pain that has seared itself deep within you from you, in a way that will be so painless that you will forever wonder what had troubled you so.

[He pauses, dramatically.] You need merely to ask. Mysterio rather likes visitors. My price is secrets, impossible things and a little of your past. [A beat, then deadpan.] And cash.

[Barron's a supervillian with his normal power, which is basically to change/add/remove memories. He's basically just your normal working supervillian (including the lapsing into third person) who hasn't quite made it into the big leagues and occasionally gets punched in the face by Batman.]

[yeahscience]

You... erase memories?

[championoftime]

[Less good than Batman at punches in the face, but incredibly good at creepering. He's going to watch before deciding on what to do.]

[sharpememory]

Erase, replace, restore. Anything that you desire, the great Mysterio can provide.

[yeahscience]

Replace? [Sorry, Doctor, this is sounding like a pretty sweet deal right now.] Like, with anything?

[sharpememory]

Anything you desire. It's quite simple for me to do.

[yeahscience]

Yeah? How much you charge?

[sharpememory]

Three grand, cash. I don't take credit cards.

[ Private ]

[surfaceshine]

You have got to be shitting me.

[Note to self: cuss before turning feed on. Dean visibly switches tacks, remembering that Barron has a fear of being beaten to death, which means he's probably not very good at hand to hand; the hunter could probably take him to prevent any craziness, if he had to. Have a broad smile instead of the pinch-eyed frown he came on with, dude.]

How much cash we talkin' there, sweetcheeks?

[ Private ]

[sharpememory]

I assure you, the great Mysterio does not joke about his business.

[And then, more matter of fact.] That depends on what you want done. You tell me broadly what it is and I'll give you a quote.

[ Private ]

[surfaceshine]

Are you gonna refer to yourself in third person the rest of the time, here? I thought that was an ad gimmick.

[So Dean should probably not be antagonizing anyone right now, but it's kind of his shtick.]

This more years cr- antabulous claim there. What's that about?

[ Private ] Gdi notifs! Sorry bb. :C

[sharpememory]

Mysterio does what the spirits inside him will.

I only claim to do what I can do. I assure you, I do not exaggerate about my capabilities.

[ Private ] Nooooo worries! <3

[surfaceshine]

Yeah, that's great, but how does it work?

[ Private ] cc:

[sharpememory]

Only customers discover the answer to that mystery.

[buywithme]

Bar--

[Pause]

Uh, Mysterio, could I just ask... is it possible for you to read the memories of others, in addition to changing them? There are some things that you really need to know, Comrade, and... I'm not sure you'll believe me if I just tell you them.

[sharpememory]

Mysterio has many skills. To read a memory is amongst them.

[It's really, really not.]

[buywithme]

In that case, Comrade, could I come and meet you somewhere?

[Private]

[sharpememory]

Not just yet. I need to give you a quote so you can bring the cash. What do you want done?

[Private]

[buywithme]

I don't want anything done, brother, I just want to give you some information...

...some information which might have slipped your memory?

[Most delicate allusion possible to the fact that he knows you have some Barron problems :c]

[Private]

[sharpememory]

Mysterio forgets nothing!

[Pause.] Does Mysterio happen to owe you money?

[video]

[demigoddess]

You can't be serious. [ In between taking down henchmen she kinda wants to give Mysterio a piece of her mind. ]

[video] NOTIFS. :|

[sharpememory]

Mysterio is always serious. You doubt his prowess?

[video] /shakes fist at them

[demigoddess]

No... I guess I'm just a little stupefied. That's all.

[video] They so frustrating - if I have more than one thread in a post, it doesn't send them all :c

[sharpememory]

You are impressed by Mysterio's majesty.

[video]

[demigoddess]

No. [ She is chuckling though. ] But thanks for that.

[ Cassie was going to go on a rant about how what he is doing is wrong, but she resists. ]

[video]

[sharpememory]

You are amused. Mysterio would like to know why.
