Quaint little city, isn't it? If only they hadn't been so rude about my... accommodations. But what's past is past. I must say the locals are a joy in themselves, busy like little worker ants. 

Enough about them. I'm a sociable man, so let's do the best to make light out of our unfortunate situation and socialize. Go on, do tell me about your minuscule lives--a name, anything. I'm dying to know. 

Or maybe you'd like to discuss holidays. Christmas will arrive any moment, you know. Any plans? I know have one or two of my own...

So we are. How over will we entertain ourselves?

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Well away from you, at least insofar as I'm concerned.

[napoleonicrat]

You wound me, Basil.

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

You're acting like I should find that a bad thing.

[napoleonicrat]

Do you?

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Hardly.

[napoleonicrat]

Then there's no need to worry.

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Who said I was worried?

[napoleonicrat]

Ah, well. I'll suppose I'll have to make do without you.

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

How will you ever manage?

[napoleonicrat]

Yes, how will I?

[Chuckles.]

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Quite handily, I'd presume. Just don't think just because we're someone new that I'll be letting you get away with even the smallest of crimes. I'd know your handiwork anywhere.

[napoleonicrat]

Must you harass me relentlessly? What will this city think of you hounding an innocent as myself?

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Innocent? You? HA! You're about as innocent as a burglar who dropped his mask in front of the police station.

[napoleonicrat]

Attacking me with such unfounded claims, Basil? Shame.

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

"Unfounded?" You're actually trying to play yourself off like you're more than just a filthy, scheming, depraved mongrel of a sewer rat?

[napoleonicrat]

[Huff.]

I am NOT a rat!

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

That's not going to do much to prove your "innocence."

[napoleonicrat]

Can you fault me for reacting to such horrendous slander?

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

If it were anything but true, I suppose I couldn't.

[napoleonicrat]

[Moans.]

What would these people say if they saw you heckling a new arrival?

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Nice try, Ratigan, but I doubt your little act is going to fool anyone for very long.

[napoleonicrat]

An act? I have no clue what you mean.

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Good luck with your silly games then, Ratigan. I have much better things to do with my time than listening to you prattle on about all the myriad crimes you "haven't" committed.

[napoleonicrat]

You said it, not me.
