Now this is...promising.

I don't expect we're able to direct calls to those of our choosing?

I suppose you're right.

[Despite not knowing what late night cable is]

And yet you bothered to answer. What must that say about you?

[sneakykidwiththehair]

Hey, stare too long at the tv and the tv stares back at you, right?

[He cackles a quiet, teenage cackle at his own joke. Or possibly at the universe in general.]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

This is not precisely a replacement for entertainment.

[sneakykidwiththehair]

Perhaps not intentionally, but hey, we all gotta get our kicks somewhere, right?

[More quiet cackling. It's pretty entertaining to him.]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

What's your name?

[He needs to put a definition on this irritating little grub of a human]

[sneakykidwiththehair]

[His cackling softens to the point where it's almost inaudible, and he shrugs.]

I couldn't tell ya even if I wanted to. Total amnesiac.

[He gestures like he's tipping his hat to you, presumably trying to suggest the empty inside of his skull.]

So what's the deal with this whole... Dracula dressed as Catwoman thing you've got going on?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Interesting. How did you manage that, I wonder?

I'm assuming you refer to my coolant suit. It helps me survive.

[sneakykidwiththehair]

What, you think I did it to myself?

[He thinks about looking offended by this, then shrugs.]

Well, maybe.

So, what, that outfit's some kind of life support? Just how old are you?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

It's not outside the realm of possibility.

[His mouth quirks at the question]

I hardly see why my age is relevant. I've worn an equivalent suit since I was seventeen cycles old.

[sneakykidwiththehair]

Well, If it all comes flying back to me, I'm sure I'll let you know.

[Okay, he's just going to have to accept that Scorpius has some weird ass-shit going on.]

So what, you have some kind of weird disease then? Why do you need walking life support?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Please do. I'm interested in the workings of the human mind and rarely get the opportunity to investigate.

I have a genetic condition that compels me to keep it on, lest I die of heat delirium in a matter of hours.
