jaws5sonofjaws [So, Mart is new to all this Mayfield shenannigans and having to track down and kill some guy leaves a bad taste in his mouth.
But, if the guy's a dick and he can get his powers back for it, and death isn't even permanent then hell, why not?]
A. Phone
So, all we gotta do is take out somebody who won't even be dead for long? Not that big a deal to me. 'Cause the sooner I get my powers back, the better. But shit like this happened before I hear around? So, what happened last time?
B. Action.
[Mart is sitting on the front porch of his house, giant sandwich in hand/mouth, population control package and letter to his side. He'll look menacingly at anyone who approaches.]

Mart Vineyard.

Date: 2011-06-03 04:18 am (UTC)However, I am a doctor like any other, really. I treat people as any human doctor would... although my fees generally weed out those who would come to me for simple things.
[A beat.] ... Well. My fees and my eccentricities. I'm somewhat of an... artist of fear, you see.
And it's a pleasure to meet you, Mart Vineyard. [Ever pleasant, it seems...]

Date: 2011-06-03 04:19 am (UTC)I'm a demi-god, and an ass-kicking one at that.
And I have no idea about what you're talking about. Dr. of fear? Is this like one of those movies where you're really a serial killer?
Not sure it's so cool meeting you.

Date: 2011-06-03 05:07 am (UTC)[... Mart, did you really just give him an opening to explain this? Really? Welp, I hope you like long, drawn-out explanations.]
Of course not. If you're going to pay me, then of course I'll cure any ailment within my power. However... [This pause is your last chance to hang up, man.]
As a doctor, I am in a unique position to handle human - and sometimes other creatures' - emotions. One can say that the moment a person comes to a doctor for treatment, they're already plagued with distrust in their own health, and the fear of disease. So, I would do everything I could - using anachronistic places or objects, for example - to ensure that my patients were at the height of unease and wariness.
And then, at the point when their fear and hope are trying to level out, they would speak to my skeletal friend in the waiting room, and set to motion the rest of the carefully cultivated pieces, like the strings of a harp being plucked in perfect discord and dissonance.
And then, when their hearts are racing and they're almost ready to leave, I'll call them into the examination room. When they come in, I let them know that everything's ready for the operation, and that they should lie on the bed.
[His excitement has been building the longer he talks, and it's clear that this is the highest point of it.] Of course, most people will scream and run from such a situation. And why? Because their fear has overcome their doubt in themselves and their health, of course! And all this, everything I spent my time working on back in Koorong, gives me the greatest sense of joy and elation, you see!
[... You still there? You should be able to get a word in edgewise now, Mart...]

Whatever, man.
You're just another creepy doctor to me.

Date: 2011-06-03 05:23 am (UTC)[He sighs, then, heavily.] It's a little too bad Fuse isn't here. I believe you two would get along quite well.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-03 05:27 am (UTC)Your creepy Igor assistant?
no subject
Date: 2011-06-03 05:32 am (UTC)Ah. Not at all. Fuse is an IRPO - that's Inter-Regional Police Organization - officer. King Sei would be much closer to an "Igor assistant," I believe. [Nope. He doesn't miss a beat after that.]
no subject
Date: 2011-06-03 05:38 am (UTC)It sounds like you come form a strange as hell world.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-03 05:55 am (UTC)Perhaps your world is the strange one, but that's all speculation, hm? [At least he's still amused, by the tone of his voice.]
no subject
Date: 2011-06-03 05:59 am (UTC)Mine ain't strange. It'd got super heroes, giant monsters, and aliens just like any other place would.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-03 06:03 am (UTC)But mine is, hm? [All his amusement, right now] I suppose to people from other worlds, having a set of Regions suspended in the sea-like Chaos could be considered so... but that is how my home has always been.
