[ Negan's got a cigarette burning between his lips as he's staring at the screen, squinting at the screen -- trying to figure out how this whole network thing works. Don't mind him. It's been a while since he's had to technology. ]

Jeesus. It's been nothin' but back to back holidays since I got here. There's no easin' a guy into this shit, is there? And we got another one right around the corner. Don't suppose any ladies out there feel like gettin' wasted and pounding it out into the New Year, huh?

[ Negan flashes a smirk. ]

Kiddin', kiddin'. I mean, unless someone seriously wants to take me up on that offer. Then I ain't gonna decline.

[ He takes a moment to finish off his cigarette before stamping it out into the ashtray. ]

I apologize for not gettin' on with the whole introductions thing sooner. It's been a long ass time since I've used anything like a phone. And we never had the sort you can video chat with. Zombie apocalypse, and all. Look at that! I'm using your lingo and everything. No one can say I ain't adaptable.

[ With a lazy chuckle, he leans forward all friendly like. Conversational. ]

The name's Negan. And color me curious -- we got all of these imPorts here, people with goddamn superpowers...and no one's even bothered to elect a leader yet? Don't all these superhero teams have leaders? I mean, when things go to shit -- and they will go to shit -- who is there to rally the troops? Might be something to think about...especially if anymore jackasses try to take over the goddamn moon. I'm just sayin'.

I thought that's what you were looking for. In terms of company to keep.

You don't need to impress me in order to hang out, Fred. I was over at your house. We watched movies together. I'd say that makes us friends.

I -- [That always catches him, his jackal impulse awed by the grin of a lion. He's always felled by the promise of friendship.]

I like that, I mean. I think so too. You and I are friends.

I'd even venture to say you're the best one I got here in this world.

[That catches him off-guard, probably as it is intended to.]

Is that so? You seem rather. Popular.

I know how to work a crowd, sure. But you let it slip you killed a few people in your day and then they all start judgin'. But you don't judge, do you? 'Cause for all I can tell you, I bet you still heard worse shit. Being who you are and doing what you do.

I'm not going to be sanctimonious, no. I would not want to do that to either of us.

And that's why I like you, Fred! That and you bust out words like sanctimonious in normal conversation like it's no big deal. Guess you need some big smartypants to fit your big manly balls, huh?

Traits both that I'm sure you admire in your company. Yet another reason as to why we're friends.

[Although Chilton ought to be careful; if Negan considered him to be bold and smart, he might consider him to be a threat as well. And threats had to be disciplined.]

[ He looks Chilton over for a moment, eyeing him up and down critically. But his friendly smile remains. ]

They are. And with all these smarts of yours, maybe I oughtta pick your brain a bit.

[ A pause. He switches the feed to private here. ]

What do you think of that whole Aegis force, thing? This Jacob guy seems like a real stick up the ass tool. Might be a kneejerk reaction of mine to want to show that my dick's bigger and I can satisfy the imPort population better....but hey. My ego, just like my giant dick, needs to be stroked every now and again, ya know?

Oh, I know. Intimately so. [A beat, and he considers how to best phrase this.] I am not too vigorously keyed into the Aegis force thing, but it seems to be a security group focused on cohesive damage control. That seems like something ripe for your whims.

If you know what I mean.

We touched on it a little bit, but I ran a group back home myself. A group that dealt in damage control and protecting people. No reason I can't step right on back into that role. Of helping people. If being an imPort's all about swinging our dicks around, then mine'll be a motherfucking propeller to blow the competition away.

[ He smirks and winks. ]

'Course, I need more time. Time to endear the rest of the imPorts to me. So, Doctor Manly Balls -- who should I meet? Who is important here? Who's gonna fast track my way to making an impact? Apart from you, of course. I am already balls deep in your life.

["Balls deep in his life" was not inaccurate.]

Logan Delos. Mitchell Hundred. Political types, of course, people with the sociopolitical connections. Jaime Reyes -- he has a softer influence, he's very popular.

Jamie Reyes....he's the one moon guy stabbed, right?

Yes indeed. You've got an eye for faces.
