Officially unofficially in business. Let me know if you want something.

P.S.: Hope that clears up any confusion, Flash. <3

Whatever I'm paid for. If it's fun.

Or pays really well, money is fun too.

I'm gonna assume you're keeping on the straight and narrow, and meant to type 'if it's fun and pays really well and is also TOTALLY LEGAL'

text

[catchacold]

I've never tried keeping straight. Seems boring.

text

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Hey, it's gotta be more fun than tangling with law enforcement.

Is that what it comes down to for you? Boredom?

text

[catchacold]

I don't know, that's part of the challenge.

Sometimes. It's part of it, anyway. Mostly I like money, but hate working.

Common feeling, I think.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Dude.

You know that's how society as a whole kinda works, right?

Work --> Money --> Paying for goods and services --> BASIC CIVICS

Maybe if you found a (LEGAL) job that you enjoy it might go better for you?

[catchacold]

Pretty aware of it, just never saw much reason to involve myself in that mess.

Also, things are going pretty damn fantastic for me. Thanks for your concern.

text

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Yeah, my concern is dwindling pretty quickly here, Mr. Snart.

[catchacold]

Very formal.

Do you need some money? You can buy ice cream. Free round for all my heroes.

WHAT

NO

wait omg

is that where 'Captain Cold' came from?? Are you a villainous ice cream vendor?

IS YOUR GETAWAY VEHICLE A TRICKED-OUT ICE CREAM TRUCK???

text

[catchacold]

I wish.

Nah, I just got a cold gun.

But ice cream's great. I'd get an ice cream truck if not for all the creepy associations.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Yeah, creepy ice cream trucks go hand in hand with evil clowns, nobody wants that.

Maybe you could get a sweet airbrushed van instead? Keep your own stash of ice cream in the back?

Or better yet, make a gun that just squirts out soft-serve ice cream! That's one way to go legit, and BONUS, you get ice cream LITERALLY WHENEVER YOU WANT

[catchacold]

I mostly go with motorcycles or by foot, but I like the way you think.

Seems like it'd get very sticky. I mean, I don't think you could eat that. What do you want me to do, lick my enemies?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

... OKAY, nope, I was thinking about giving out ice cream in cones like normal? Not actually shooting it at people?

[catchacold]

Then why would I build a gun for it?

You aren't the first, but you do have the best logic to try and make me go legit.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

For fun? Like those dudes who trick out nerf guns with gears and stuff for steampunk conventions?

Look, Mr. Snart, you seem like a good dude, despite the whole 'SUP I AM BLATANTLY AN ANTIVILLAIN' thing, and I don't want to see you end up in jail, but I can't look the other way if you're doing crimes, ok?

[catchacold]

I'm not a good guy. I've done some good things, but everyone has an off day.

What about if I promise to try really hard to not do crime anywhere you look?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

my dude you KNOW that's not how it works!

[catchacold]

Worked excellent for me for a couple decades, so I don't know about that.

I'll buy you some ice cream some time and we can call it even.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Ice cream won't stop the FRIGGIN LAW FROM APPLYING TO YOU MR SNART

tell you what

stay crime-free and I'll buy the ice cream.

[catchacold]

How about I steal the ice cream?

Seems like a good compromise.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

ohhhh MY GOD MR SNART

LOOK UP THE WORD 'COMPROMISE' IN THE DICTIONARY

I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT IT DOESN'T MEAN 'DO WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE, REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER PARTY INVOLVED, OR INDEED, THE ENTIRE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM'

[catchacold]

Criminal justice system never did anything for me, I'm not gonna deny myself for it.

The way I see it, if at the end we both get ice cream, how wrong can it be?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Explain that to the poor dude driving the hypothetical ice cream truck who gets his pay docked because he lost a couple buckets of ice cream.

[catchacold]

This is why I steal at the source. Higher profits, more risk, more fun and if it makes you feel better, I'll give some change to the hypothetical ice cream truck.
