Oswald -
At work, and realized that I forgot to ask you this the other day: how do you feel about heists?
Also, there was a death in the merchant dome last night, so you may want to steer clear until they've brought me the parts of the body we missed.
[ Well. That's a disturbing thought. ]
- Ed
[ Something to do at work? How exciting! ]

Dear Edward,
Well, that's certainly a mental image I'm not going to get out of my head any time soon. May I ask what happened? An animal attack, perhaps?
As for heists, that seems a rather open-ended question. I supposed I'd have to know what part of 'heist' you might mean. Being victim to one, or, perhaps, entirely hypothetically of course, committing one?
Yours, Oswald

Edward,
Fighting? I don't know what you're talking about.
Chocolate but only if it's the kind with pudding un the batter so it's really googy and moist. Otherwise Angel Food or pound cake is fine.

That is an entirely inappropriate question to be asking someone!
[ Unlike most people Oswald may know, Harry is smart enough to know when to apologize for being a dick, so later on Oswald will receive a delivery of one pan of chocolate brownies (with hidden cauliflower for nutrition) and a box labeled "Personalized Folgeration Unit" that has a coffee machine inside it where you put your finger against a pad and using ~magic~ and ~science~ it determines what coffee you want right at the moment. Also a note that says: "SORRY - Dr Feynman" ]
I have a bottle of something... I think chardonny. shardonehy. Shordoney.
It's a white. Sort of. Clear ish. I already finished one.
Two. Maybe two. Started when she first talked about that. That.
We have more right?
[The fact that he has to ask means he's too into his cups to look properly. And that he's probably into his fourth bottle, not his third. He does drink pretty fast when he's upset.]

Thank you for informing me of her contact with you. Good to know she is thorough. It speaks well of her character.
In what context do you mean 'prudish'?
Love,

[Lady Parker has done a rather deep dive through the galactic internet into Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, so this is a test as much as it is a question.]
Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot,
I have spoken with Steve Rogers.
What is the worst thing you have ever done?
Also, I would like to be put in contact with your mother.
Lady Kathra Parker
Haus of Mercury
Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot,
I have spoken with Steve Rogers.

Also, I would like to be put in contact with your mother.
Lady Kathra Parker
Haus of Mercury
[He's not really sure what she'd consider the worst thing he's ever done. But as far as doing things here... well... shit, he really hasn't done anything bad here. Yet.]
Lady Kathra Parker,
I will address the issue with my mother first. She is not yet in this universe. I arrived a little under two months ago via what is know as a 'flux in'. Those who arrive by chance must wait between four to six months, usually around six, for their requests to return to their own world via the Hopper to be processed. When the option becomes available to me, I will be returning with the intent to bring my mother back with me. I feel she'd be much happier here and my own concerns for her continued good health and fortune will be assuaged by her presence.
As you are not waiting to return anywhere, it is my understanding that you should be able to pay a visit to my universe for a brief period of time. But I cannot because of the logistics of something or other. If you wish to pursue that option, I am willing to give you the information you need to find and speak with my mother during the constraints of the visitation period.
Regarding my past, it is my understanding that New Dodge is considered the 'town of second chances'. We are supposed to be able to put our past to the side and start anew here.
If Mr. Rogers has led you to believe that isn't the case for myself, as is the implication of how you've stated your inquiry... then the worst thing I've done since coming here, is offer insult to the town at large for being unable to hold their liquor. I also did not have the best of reactions to being told I may be forced to become a father without my consent due to the Solar Flares and Mr. Rogers was displeased with how I handled that.
If you mean the worst thing I've ever done prior to my arrival, well, there's a fair amount to choose from. It really depends on what sliding scale of morality you hold to. I suggest asking directly about what you're most concerned for in regards to what I have or have not done. I will answer truthfully.
I'm not a good man, Lady Kathra. I get the impression that's likely where this inquiry is going. So let's get that out of the way.
I am, however, an honest man.
Personally, that's what I think should matter the most in this. That once a deal is made I will honor it. And you will as well.
But if you have concerns, please, be direct about them.
Regards,
Oswald C. Cobblepot
P.S. If you do choose to visit my mother, I would appreciate it if you keep any of what we discuss regarding my career in confidence. She wouldn't understand what I've had to do to provide and care for her. She has a very delicate constitution.

Mr Cobblepot,
My brother, Wallace, has informed me that you were interested in having me contact you.

Ophelia Rose Mesmer of the Haus of Ramen, New Elysium
Lady Ophelia of Haus Ramen,
Thank you so much for your time. Lord Wallace stated that you and Lord Virbani had an interest in finding a venue for your concerts. I am the proprietor of The Lotus, the newly remodeled and rebranded brothel house of New Dodge. For the duration of the Assembly, we will be hosting musicians to provide live music for the entertainment of our guests within both the Umbrella Lounge - which your brother has claimed the stage for you on Sunday night - and the Ballroom during the nightly Masques.
If there is another night you'd care to perform, I'd be happy to free up a time slot for you.
All that said, I did ask your brother what sort of amenities or refreshments I should have on hand and he suggested a couple particular strains I'll have to ask the local growers about. But if you have any requests, I would be more than happy to hear them.
Regards,
Oswald C. Cobblepot

Mr Cobblepot,
It seems as if you've been making quite a name for yourself both in New Dodge and within the Haus System of a sort.
If it would please you, I may stop by the Lotus on Monday. Is there a particular time you will be there?
all best,
Irwin Deathwhisper, seventh of eight

Lord Deathwisper,
Do forgive me if I'm using the wrong title. The information on how to properly address those of the Council is a little lacking.
I do hope whatever name I'm making for myself is a good one.
And I would happy to host you on Monday. I'll be there most of the day, but perhaps in the morning, or around Noon would be best to speak at length? It will be less busy than later in the evening. If you are able to slip out of the Assembly long enough for such, I will be happy to see you then. Otherwise name a time and I'll make space on my schedule.

Oswald C. Cobblepot

I am sorry dinner went so poorly. I really tried. I apologize.
I have strong opinions. Sometimes that can be a hindrance, not a helper.

Steve,
Thank you for trying. Edward appreciated the effort, I'm certain. As did I.
Strong opinions should be lauded. So few people have that kind of true and honest conviction.
As an aside, Lady Kathra informed me she spoke to you. Do not worry, however, she did not share what was said between you, only that she had words with you in regards to myself. I can only assume it was positive and for that, I must thank you for the vote of confidence.

After careful consideration and study of the medical records, I have come to the decision that you are an acceptable candidate to donate your genetic material to create the heir of the Haus of Mercury.
If you are still interested, please send a signed and witnessed copy of the contract, as well as a suggestion as to the best time for you to make your genetic donation.
Sincerely,
Kathra Parker

I'm pleased with your decision. I will consult my calendar and forward a signed and witnessed copy of the contract within the next two days.
Incidentally, it was lovely hosting you and I do hope I'll have the honor of doing so again in the future. Perhaps after some development has occurred on Starfire?

Lady Kathra Parker,
I am very pleased to hear about the twins - twins! - and grateful for your gift. I am, of course, wishing for the pregnancy to go well and there to be no problems in the next several months. With your resources that's a foregone conclusion, but all the same.
Since the procedure was a success, should I assume it is now safe for me to formally and publicly take control of my new property? I didn't want to presume in doing so until it was confirmed the procedure was a success.
Warm Regards,

Make a point of finding *most* of the devices once we have an idea of where they are. I want to leave one or two, maybe three or four, in more private areas where a looser inspection would be believable. I want to know where they are so we can use them to send information we deem worth sending them to keep Black Door confident some slipped through the cracks. For now, we won't provide anything false. But eventually, we will.

I'm contacting you as both a member of the town council and as Edward Nygma's emergency contact. Ed and 5 other citizens have disappeared from New Dodge, we have determined that none of them have fluxed out. At the moment, we are assuming this is an act of aggression from Black Door and we are working quickly to recover them. I understand you'll be returning here soon, but I didn't want you to be surprised when you arrived in case we haven't found them as quickly as I would like.
Andy and Violet are okay but obviously upset, and they'll be staying with myself and Seth until you return.
We will be retaliating against Black Door. That, I can promise.
