[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.

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot,

You have not been entirely removed from consideration. I will be arriving next week for the CIA, and during that time I would require we have a formal meeting. This gives me time to review your medical records.

Please being with you your partner, Edward Nygma, a formal business plan in regards to the brothel, and anything else you feel relevant to your candidacy. I must be assured all workers there are paid well, there of their own volition, and well cared for.

Lady Kathra Parker,

I'll have everything ready.

And I hope you'll consider coming to the Grand Opening of The Lotus in person. We're opening the day before the CIA begins, just in time for the Assembly and all those attending or coming to watch to partake in the full hospitality we can provide. The Lotus is intended as a place to both socialize with one's fellows, and find intimacy with a willing and talented professional.

Regards,
Oswald C. Cobblepot

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot,

I appreciate your organizing everything.

I will attend the grand opening, but our meeting will take place prior to that. I would like to inspect The Lotus, and perhaps speak to some of your employees.

Lady Kathra Parker,

I will be very pleased to arrange a tour for yourself.

Regards,
Oswald C. Cobblepot

I would expect nothing else. I will see you one week from today.
