I don't normally play from popular things what is this @.@

[andtheotherguy]

You want him in your skull. Do you have any idea -

Oh. I see. You're nervous that I might be too normal for you?

[A flash of that tight, bitter smile. A breath.]

Fine. Mock me. I can handle it.

Comments

[desceptre]

I sincerely hope you can.

[andtheotherguy]

She doesn't.

She's curious.

[desceptre]

[Derisive:] ...oh, is that all. Curiosity. [Great.]

[ex_caping139]

Banner. Consider it to be the pestering of but a gnat. It will pass once interest is lost.

You are stronger than you know, I think.

[andtheotherguy]

That's kind of my problem.

[he winces just a little]

Sorry. That was - I know what you meant.

[starknaked]

Really? You're bothered that someone thinks you're the normal one? Isn't that what you want? Normal life and all?

Well, did want. Do you want that now? I mean, maybe you could walk back to hiding and ill children and all but after the taste of what you've had, would you?

[andtheotherguy]

I'm not bothered, it's not a big deal.

If she actually thought I was normal, I'd just feel sorry for her, okay, but that's not it. She's crazy but she isn't that dumb. So it's just...needling.

[Wary, Wary Wary.]

...Don't let them get to you.

[andtheotherguy]

I won't.

/also never plays from popular things lol *takes a seat next to on the bandwagon*

[hotrodred]

You? Normal? [He laughs. Sorry Banner.]

/snuggles

[andtheotherguy]

[He laughs too. A little nervously, maybe, but it's there.]

Right? She's crazy.

[savedhisheart]

That line of talk, I think I might be glad that I just have a few X-men to deal with. [Though she's the only one that's normal not that she's going to complain.]

Though they really shouldn't mock you. You're easier to talk to than some other people.

[andtheotherguy]

Yeah, it's...kind of a menagerie. If menageries included planets.

Thanks, I guess.

[espionageartist]

I don't see how you're normal.

[andtheotherguy]

She also plays an omnipotent puppet with a cue ball for a head.

Normal suddenly feels a little relative.

[notscaredofme]

Why would she think you normal? That's almost a curse.

[andtheotherguy]

She goes back and forth between using it to mean 'famous' and 'primarily bipedal'.

I don't think she really knows what it means.

[brosif]

[She appraises him rather openly. If he is a friend of Thor's, that makes him unusual enough for a Midgardian. But there's something else.]

What are you made of, then, that would invade her mind?

[andtheotherguy]

No, I only meant the way we're all riding around in their heads, you know?

It's just...I'm not always the best passenger.

[instigating]

She must be mad.

[andtheotherguy]

That's the leading theory.

[incant]

Normal is vastly overrated, Doctor, but at least it's safe. [Says a Wanda just recently out of the Brotherhood]

[andtheotherguy]

Normal and not-normal aren't actually binary conditions. I mean, semantics aside.

[hillside]

Normal isn't a word I'd use in this case.

[andtheotherguy]

You're preaching to the choir with me.
