BLACKMAIL - Part 11

Cappy:  F-fine!  I’ll do it.  Is that all?

Zipher:  Sure.  You do these two trivial things, and I promise Um and I won’t tattle on you … to Circa.

Cappy:  Good.  I’m glad we got that cleared up.

BLACKMAIL - Part 10

Zipher:  Once Um pops back … you gotta put on a garish superhero costume, parade down Main Street at 2 a.m. issuing loud and persistent challenges to anyone and everyone who passes by, all the while claiming to be a servant of light and justice.  Oh yeah, and we get to film it.

Cappy:  … What.  What are you, seven?

Zipher:  My first thought was to have you go streaking, but while humiliating, it’s hardly very creative now, is it?  Also not nearly as funny.

Cappy:  And you expect me to agree to this?  A clear opportunity for further blackmail?

Zipher:  Blackmail?  Psh!  Who do you think we are, you?  This is just for our own amusement.  Not everything is about blackmail.  ((Though the film may fetch a fair price if subjected to a particular market.))

BLACKMAIL - Part 9

… 

Cappy:  What do you want from me?

Zipher:  Well, it’d be nice if you’d stop unleashing your sister on us.  Umbrix is dead again, you see.

Cappy:  Done.  I will stop encouraging her to attack you.

Zipher:  How friendly of you.

Cappy:  But fair warning: she can often be uncontrollable.  If she were to attack either of you of her own accord - well, there’d hardly be anything I could do about that, wouldn’t you agree?

Zipher:  All right.  Let’s add to the bargain then.

Cappy:  … What?

BLACKMAIL - Part 8

Zipher:  But does he know about your home life?  I.E., where you sic your sociopath of a sister on my brother and I, of whom he happens to be quite fond?

Cappy:  W-what?!

Zipher:  Just think, one little word from me or Um - one thoughtless peep about the  abuses you inflict upon us when you don’t think influential eyes are watching - and the perfect little world you’ve striven so hard for comes crumbling down around you.  Circa will throw you out in a heartbeat - well, if you actually had a beating heart to begin with.  Your pristine record won’t mean a damn thing to him either.  Isn’t that just a shame?

BLACKMAIL - Part 7

Zipher:  Ah, I thought so.

Cappy:  Why do you know the name of my boss?

Zipher:  He knows you’re a vampire, of course.

Cappy:  Yes.

BLACKMAIL - Part 6

Zipher:  And to ask you about Circa Parker.

BLACKMAIL - Part 5

Zipher:  Hi Cappy!

Cappy:  What do you want?

Zipher:  What?  It’s a free house.

Cappy:  Only for people like you who weasel your way out of paying rent.

Zipher:  Your words - they wound me.  I was just dropping by for a midnight snack.

Cappy:  Is that so?

BLACKMAIL - Part 4

MAKING THE WEB - Part 48

Zipher:  It was a nice thought though.  Have an E for effort!

Umbrix:  Though you should know, since you’ve, y’know, initiated such an amusing serve, we’re gonna have to work super hard to volley it back.

Zipher:  And believe me, we’re much better at the game than you.  Hehehe.

Umbrix:  Was there anything else you wanted to say?

Cappy:  No.  I’ll just be leaving now.

Zipher:  Bye bye!

Umbrix:  And don’t worry.  So long as you keep us entertained, we won’t have to tell the boss about your treacherous schemes!
