Mun saw The Avengers over the weekend... also looking for a home for this nerd.

[heystretch]

No, I was not jealous of Stark Tower. The Baxter Building is far nicer.... homier.

Quite a sense of humor you got there, Reed. Far nicer? Heh.

[He's laughing on the inside.]

[heystretch]

No one asked you, Victor.

[behold_your_doom]

What? Does the truth hurt?

[fbitchesgtmoney]

I wasn't going for home-y.

[heystretch]

Really? I never would have noticed.

[See that attempt at sarcasm?]

[fbitchesgtmoney]

I hope you enjoy your cozy little cabin.

[heystretch]

[Have a glower in response.]

[clearance]

You're both at the forefront of your respective fields. There's no reason for comparison.

[ A beat. That said— ]

Thankfully, the Baxter Building isn't quite as ostentatious.

[heystretch]

[WHAT NO HE TOTALLY SURPASSES HIM AT ALL THE THINGS.]

I suppose you're right about that. [His mouth twitches in a slight smile.] Ostentatious wasn't quite the word I'd go for.

[clearance]

[ shh baby shh tasha's trying to be objective here what are real preferences and not mission parameters B( ]

It has —character.

[heystretch]

[grumblegrumble.]

That's one way to put it.

[transparent]

[ Come party at Tony's pad with Sue, Reed. You know you want to. ]

We're not going to have put "Reed" on the outside now, are we?

[heystretch]

[No, gross. Tony smells.]

No, I'm not that obnoxious.

[transparent]

So "Richards" is fine, then.

[anyhigher]

Yeah, but I'm willing to bet Stark has toys he'd let everyone use.

[heystretch]

If you like it so much Johnny, why don't you go live there?

[He's tired and not in the mood, bro.]

[anyhigher]

[Ouch.] But then you wouldn't be greeted by my smiling face every morning.

[black_widow]

Stark doesn't need anyone jealous of him. His ego is large enough as it is.

[heystretch]

I think I realized that. Perhaps I should have just kept my thoughts to myself.

[agtcarter]

The tower was a bit of an eyesore.

[heystretch]

That... is a fair observation.

[agtcarter]

I was trying to be delicate about it. [Amused look.]

/grabby hands

[technetronic]

[Waves a hand dismissively.]

You can't compare the two, it's like comparing a state of the art computer with a calculator... Well, I suppose quaint could be considered a draw for the Baxter Building.

/wibbles

[heystretch]

The Baxter Building is technologically advanced in ways you can't even imagine, Stark. It's not a calculator.

if you're still looking for a place for him could I possibly tempt you?

[technetronic]

Pretty hard to imagine when you only rent the place. [He has better resources. Admit it.]

If it makes you feel any better, it's like a graphics calculator. Not the usual pieces of crap you normally think of.

[pepperedsmile]

Don't let Tony hear you say that.

[heystretch]

I'm not worried about what he thinks.

[idol_o_millions]

Aw, let the baby have his bottle, Stretcho. We all know it's what's inside that counts. And you're smarter than that pampered playboy any day.

[heystretch]

[B'awww.] Thanks, Ben.

[idol_o_millions]

Hey, it's true. Don't seem him buildin' no Negative Zone portals or nothin', do ya?

AH! REED RICHARDS! *dead*

[notpettyandtiny]

I do not understand why you are jealous of a building. It is just a tower. Nothing special. A kingdom would be reason to show this emotion, but not a mere tower.

Petty humans.
