Nope, I'm happy with the face I have, thanks! I've already got a weird scientist on speed dial anyway.

Are you sure you're not the bizarre one...

[the audacity to say this]

I'm pretty sure.

Why keep up a relation with a mad scientist?

He can come up with some useful inventions sometimes [ and some shitty ones... ] and he's usually pretty willing to help when you go to him with a problem.

[ so you just deal with the fact that all he ever wears is an oversized pair of striped boxer shorts. ]

Anyway, he's more senile than creepy.

Senile? How old is he?

Hmm... Pretty old? He's been bald since the Showa era.

That means nothing to—

Bald? Natural hair loss...?

Yeah...?

And he's not sickly? It's not a medical condition? It's simply from aging?

[nobody should ever be this curious about baldness]

[ nods ]

That's how it usually goes, I think.

Usually...

What is the average life expectancy where you come from?

[ belatedly answers this now that i see that i fucking missed it!!! ]

Like, 80, I think?
