[Sorry, dude, not a chance. Which is to say, he's shifting the leg to nestle in the crook of his elbow so he can loop an arm around Intensity, casual, and jostle him like an enthusiastic puppy with a toy.]

You never even said. How long've you been working on this thing?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hurricane.

Mercy. Please.

Huffs irritably though he's not actively pulling away]

Long enough.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[NO MERCY!!!!]

Look at you, you're like the spy master over here, ultimate keeper of secrets.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Will an aggressive hair ruffle make you GO AWAY!]

Yes yes. You'll have to think of a good code name for me as your supplier. No letters, of course.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He'll take that hair ruffle and count it as a win. He lets go finally, grinning hard.]

What is this, nicknaming hard mode?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's about branding. AlcheME! already has dibs on the James Bond gadgetmaker names.

So you'll have to think up something more creative.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Adamantium... Dragon.

Silver Eagle.

Ooh, I know - The Nerdking.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And you were doing so well with the first one... A pity.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I got it, I got it. How bout The Engineer?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is that what we've stooped too now? Just using titles because all the other names are too ridiculous.

[But he looks strangely pleased]

Fine. I'll take it.

But remember to always preface it with "The". I don't want any other second-rate scientist getting credit.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You got it, Mr. The Engineeer, sir.

Full title or nothing.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good. Now go splash in the water with Nemesis and Cobalt. I want to make sure it works as good in the field as during testing.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Whaaat? You're not going swimming?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'm observing.

Think of me as the life guard for the test run of your new leg.

[crossmyheartandhope]

C'mon, dude, I totally can't drown. Soul's out, remember?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Pales maybe a little at that.

Did you know dVa pulled out her soul and showed it to Intensity. It was a lot okay. A lot]

Suffocating for an undisclosed period of time sounds worse than drowning.

[Moodkill get]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, long's I hang in there till I can hit the surface again, I'm good. It's gonna be fine.

Sides, you made it, yeah? You make good stuff.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. It's going to be fine because I'm going to lifeguard.

Don't make me toss you in the water.

[crossmyheartandhope]

So if I'm drowning, you'll come swimming with me?

Cause it sounds like that's what I just heard.

[But he does plop himself down cross-legged and fish out a screwdriver to start taking his leg off.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't drown on purpose!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Even for a good cause?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's the worst reason you could have.

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, hanging out with you?

Give yourself more credit, dude.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's not what I meant!

[But he also doesn't have a good rebuttal.

Mercy]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[No mercy!!!!]

[...half mercy.]

I'm just saying, you could have a little fun once in a while. Splashing around some's not gonna kill you.
