Oh, mun.

[no78921]

Darling mun. How I wish you'd find me some more games to be into. Saints Row is nice. I do enjoy it. Team Fortress is my love, and then of course World of Warcraft. But please, I need to play more games than just this in your novel if you wish to consider me a "gamer." Please look through Steam some for me. Please.

... have you played Galaga?

[no78921]

That was my childhood. My local arcade had some American arcade games and that was one of them. Very fun.
I miss that place...

[binaryoppositions]

I didn't play games much growing up. I have a friend that insisted on forcing me to try some arcade classics, though. They're surprisingly enjoyable.

What happened to it?

[no78921]

The age of the consoles took it overr and they ended up closing. Which I have to admit, I love my consoles as much as the next person; but there's something about playing in an arcade and having all the kids swarm around you to cheer you on.

[binaryoppositions]

Sounds like you have some good memories.

[no78921]

I do. It was a nice place to tuck away from my family.

[binaryoppositions]

I can understand that. It's always good to get away every once in a while.

[no78921]

Especially in my home...heh.

[binaryoppositions]

That's something we can all relate to, I think.

[no78921]

Oh? May I ask why you say that?

[binaryoppositions]

You could, but it would be a story much longer than I think you'd care to hear.

[no78921]

No, I don't mind. Please feel free.

[binaryoppositions]

... I hadn't expected you to actually want to know.

Let's just say that, um, growing up was unpleasant for me. Very unpleasant.

[no78921]

I'm sorry to hear that. I can sympathize one hundred percent however.

[binaryoppositions]

Please, you don't need to apologize. It was a long time ago.

I hope your family troubles aren't as dramatic as mine were.

[no78921]

Well, overly religious mum, dad who is a workaholic, and little brother who's a git. I imagine it's normal when compared to other issues.

[binaryoppositions]

I take it you don't get along with any of them.

[no78921]

Not a single bit. My Uncle is closer to me than anyone else.

[binaryoppositions]

That's someone, at least.

[no78921]

Yes. Plus I have some people I'm close to online. Every bit helps.

[binaryoppositions]

I can't say I've been close to much of anyone until recently. I was on my own for quite a while.

[no78921]

I'm sad to hear that, but I'm glad you found someone in the end.

[binaryoppositions]

Oh god, I hope that didn't sound romantic. It's nothing like that.

[no78921]

No no no! I know you didn't mean it like that.

[binaryoppositions]

Good, good. Just wanted to make sure there was no misunderstanding.

I'm fairly positive that Tony would toss me straight out the windows of Stark Tower if he ever caught wind of this conversaton.

[no78921]

Tony? Who's that? A buddy?
I don't see why he'd do that unless you directly said you two were banging.

[binaryoppositions]

[ ... well, that made him pause for a moment. ]

He's a colleague. A friend.

He has, um, a reputation to uphold. And a girlfriend.

[no78921]

Ahhh. Yes, I understand. I take it he's in the spotlight?

[binaryoppositions]

It would be more accurate to say that the spotlight has the honor of being on him. At least, that's what he would want me to tell you.

[no78921]

Oh. One of those kinds of guys.

[binaryoppositions]

Yes. Definitely one of those kinds of guys.

He is a good person buried underneath all that narcissism.

[no78921]

I know a guy like that who I work with. It surprises you, does it not?

[binaryoppositions]

I suppose so. It did at first, anyway. I've grown used to it.

[no78921]

Yes, same on my end. When someone's a good person you look past that.

[binaryoppositions]

Yeah, something like that.

I'm a bit surprised you don't know of Tony, actually. Most people seem to be aware of his every move these days.

[no78921]

Hmmm. There's a lot of Tonys out there though.

[binaryoppositions]

Only one Tony Stark, though.

[no78921]

Oh....
Oh yes, I heard about him. A lot.

oh....

[binaryoppositions]

It's a bit hard not to hear about him, isn't it?

Re: oh....

[no78921]

Didn't he destroy a city out of anger? Or was that someone else?

[binaryoppositions]

You mean the Harlem incident?

Yeah, um. That was another guy.

cant see shit captain

[no78921]

Oh?
Hm. Now that I think about it, I think their name was... Bernard? Bernie? Brucey? Hm.

every man for himself

[binaryoppositions]

[ Was this guy on to him? How was that even possible?

Okay, play it cool Banner. ]

I really can't help you with that. I don't know much about the story, only that Tony wasn't involved.

[no78921]

Ah, that's fine. To be honest it doesn't effect me, so I don't care too much.

[binaryoppositions]

You must care in some regard if you asked.
