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.]

Date: 2012-05-29 11:58 pm (UTC)...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]
Date: 2012-05-30 12:00 am (UTC)[Pause.] Does Mysterio happen to owe you money?
[Private]
Date: 2012-05-30 12:02 am (UTC)I'm a tiny bit worried about you, right now, and I just would really be very grateful if you could see me long enough to understand why that is.

Date: 2012-05-30 12:06 am (UTC)Well... uh, congratulations, Comrade? It sounds as though you are a very reputable villain, but I would still really like for you to have this information and to know that I am not lying to you about it, so when can I come and see you?

Date: 2012-05-30 12:10 am (UTC)Look, if you're worried, we can meet somewhere away from your lair, or you can pick me up somewhere and make sure I'm alone?
[Private]
Date: 2012-05-30 12:11 am (UTC)Meet me inside the abandoned courthouse.
[Private]
Date: 2012-05-30 12:13 am (UTC)[And he is going to be spamming his fine old way over to the abandonned court house. Because no one ever told Prefect not to meet supervillains in abandonned places...]

Date: 2012-05-30 12:20 am (UTC)Greetings! Mysterio will now hear your request.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-05-30 12:35 am (UTC)Ah! Greetings, Comrade... my request... my request, is that you... look into my memories, so that you understand how we know one another. Then maybe we could talk?
[Emotional Warden/Inmate bonding coming up.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 10:56 am (UTC)Mysterio sees no problem in this. Mysterio now requests that you remove your shirt so that Mysterio can look into your memories.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 10:58 am (UTC)Uh, remove my shirt? Is that... how this works now?
[Anyway, the joke's on you, Mysterio. Prefect has like, twenty wallets back on the barge, in a big cardboard packing case. And they're ALL EMPTY.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:01 am (UTC)Yes, of course. The more contact we have, the better.
[Mysterio is going to be so disappointed with that wallet.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:06 am (UTC)Still, he carefully unbuttons his shirt and unknots his tie, and strips them both off. Oh god, don't blush, you're not looking very manly or in control if you insist on blushing...]
This is making plausible deniability harder and harder for me, you know?
[Muttered, almost under his breath. It's cool, you don't need to answer that, Barron.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:08 am (UTC)Just to make you more comfortable. Are you ready?
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:11 am (UTC)All right, I'm ready.
[He pauses, then holds out a hand in the vain hope that Mysterio will just do what Barron would do, and touch his wrist or something.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:15 am (UTC)Now, Mysterio will enter into your mind.
[And with that, Barron made the plunge into Prefect's memories.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:23 am (UTC)He doesn't feel any different as Barron slips into his memories, but there are a lot of memories, probably ones that Barron himself has lost mixed in with the ones that Prefect is hoping will ring true with Mysterio, somewhere. Their first meeting, all those drunken adventures, the knowlege of who Barron's family is and where he's come from making out, finding Barron after he'd killed O'Brien and Beatty, painting the walls together, more making out, talking about his future...Prefect pretending to be Barron while they drunkenly made out.
All kinds of memories, that should explain what was going on here.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:25 am (UTC)That's the most- [He stops.] No. That's not possible.
[He pauses again. He's had an idea.] Did Dr. Dreamer put that in your head? Did he put you up to this?
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:37 am (UTC)[Prefect tried to make the question earnest instead of critical. Mysterio was the memory guy. It was his craft that he needed to trust, rather than Prefect's honesty.]
That's where we both came from, and it's why I'm concerned about you. I don't want you to lose your memories for something that'll be meaningless to you in a few days!
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:46 am (UTC)You have to have a new power. Some new super villain trying to make his name.
[Barron doesn't look like he quite believes that though. He's looking at Prefect nervously.]
This can't be true.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-06-02 11:53 am (UTC)[Prefect pointed out gently. He hadn't started getting dressed again yet, but he had crossed his arms over his chest uncomfortably. It seemed like a good idea for Barron to feel like he was still in control of this encounter.]
It's true. You and I are friends, and I am truly concerned for you.
