The Story Of Nymobblepot

The Encounter

Oswald's P.O.V.

I finish my talk with Jim and get ready to leave. As I walk down the stairs, I see a tall man at the top staring at me out of the corner of my eye. I walk further away as he trails behind me. I walk past a row of officers working while he walks on the other side. The row of officers comes to an end and we meet at the end of it. I turn my body so I'm facing him. "Can I help you?" I ask him. "I don't know.. can you?" He says.

"What do you want?" I ask him. "What I want, the poor have, the rich need, and if you eat it you die." My smile fades off my lips. "What is... are you asking me a riddle?" I ask expecting a reply. "Do you like riddles?" He asked. "No." I tell him. "So do you give up?" He asked. I've just about reached my limit with this guy. I think to myself. "Friend, look-" "Nothing." He says apparently unable to contain it anymore. "The answer is nothing. I want it, the poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it-" i put a hand up to tell him to stop.

"I'm sorry.. who are you?" I ask. I'm already irritated enough.

"Edward...Nygma..." he says as if that name is suppose to mean something to me. "I know who you are." He says. I look down at our feet. "Then you know you're standing too close." I tell him with an irritated tone in my voice. I watch as he backs up. I turn my body back forward. "Did you know that male emperor penguins keep their eggs warm by balancing them on their feet?" I shoot him a look as if to say "go away.". "Isn't that neat?" Is he doing this to annoy me? Well two can play it that game.

I turned to face him again and stepped back into the position we were previously in. "Nice to meet you, sir." I say politely. "Keep walking." I say more harshly hoping that my words would combine with my stare and get him to move along.

"Will do." He said. He stopped smiling for a moment and got himself together. I watched as he put an annoying smirk on his face. He smiled as he walked off. I watched him as he left over my shoulder. Who really was that guy? I think to myself.
