That makes sense. April is overlord of the dangerous creatures, after all.

[ One of the dangerous creatures Dorian attempted to put in a tiny cravat the last time he visited. So, you know, "dangerous" ]

[infomodder]

[Raccoons, Luggage, and Will are all terribly dangerous creatures.]

If only more people saw her that way.

[brushoff]

It's smart though. You don't want to overplay your hand too early.

[infomodder]

April is one of the smartest people here.

[He isn't biased or anything.]

What do you have up your sleeve? If I don't return your portrait, you must have a backup plan.

[brushoff]

Honestly, I'm afraid my back-up plan at the moment is torture you until I get the information. Because the only magic user I know who might be able to magic the portrait away from you is hilariously incompetent.

[ not like Dorian has a petty grudge-boner against Billy Kaplan, no way jose. ]

I might try asking politely a few more times, though I doubt it'll work.

[infomodder]

You have the stomach for torture?

[brushoff]

[ not entirely. ]

I tortured someone stuck in my body once (long story, it started with some body swapping nonsense.) And besides, even if you do die, you'll just come back.

[infomodder]

Not always. We don't always come back. Yuri almost didn't.
You don't need to go that far.

[brushoff]

Then how far do I need to go? Because I'm desperate.
I've been blackmailed twice by people who got their hands on my portrait, I don't want it to happen again.

[infomodder]

[pause; he's almost offended ALMOST]

This has nothing to do with blackmail.

[brushoff]

Then what's the damn point?

[infomodder]

Think about it, Dorian. How does it make you feel to know what I've done and what I have?

[brushoff]

Pissed off, that's what! And regretful that I trusted you with the damn thing in the first place.

[infomodder]

Like you're being taught a lesson?

[brushoff]

[ and then Dorian gets it. ]

Oh my fucking god.

[infomodder]

:)

[brushoff]

I get it, Will. This is the "if you trust someone, don't fuck them over" lesson mixed with the "be careful with who you fuck with in the first place" lesson.

[infomodder]

Will you repeat this?

[Make him a "promise" that you learned your lesson and won't do it again and maybe time out can end early.]

[brushoff]

This is the "if you trust someone, don't fuck them over" lesson mixed with the "be careful with who you fuck with in the first place" lesson.

[ good job with that copy/paste ]

[brushoff]

Oh no wait no you meant will I repeat the organ things. Obviously not!

[infomodder]

[Congrats, Dorian. He actually laughed despite the whole EVERYTHING that led up to this.]

Then I guess that's all I can ask for.

[brushoff]

[ all we're saying is that it's a good thing Dorian's pretty. ]

So is this it? You'll just give the portrait back now?

[infomodder]

[but can he squeal like a pig?]

Not right this second.

[The third lesson is called patience.]

[brushoff]

Let me guess: lesson number three is to not be so hasty? Or maybe to learn to accept factors outside of my control?

[ immortal, bitches, he's got patience in SPADES (god he hopes he has patience in spade) ]

[infomodder]

You'll get your portrait when you get your portrait. In the meantime, it's kept safe.
