Okay, let's be honest here. I appreciate all the effort and, honestly, the whole deciding to go with me even with the doubts? Excellent sense of taste. No arguments there.

But are you in this or not? You signed me up for this, and presuming it all goes as planned, we're going to be playing this game pretty soon. Dealing with the crazy Drive effects and an even crazier alien threat aboard that ship. Since we're a little short-handed, that means you and I are going to be picking up some slack. Just a tip before things really take off.

Don't give me that look. You were the one that wanted to do this.

Charming as always, Mr. Stark.

[hotredhero]

What, I'm not allowed to give advice now? It's important. I'm just making sure this deal doesn't blow up in my face.

[gotoagent]

Isn't that normally Ms. Pots job?

[hotredhero]

Normally. This isn't really her area.

[gotoagent]

It's good to see you taking the initiative.

[therealgenius]

The look of disgust, right?

[hotredhero]

Why? Did they see you looking over my shoulder?

[therealgenius]

I wasn't looking anywhere near your mun, so no.

[hotredhero]

Then, that's your answer. No, it wasn't disgust. But thanks for thinking of me.

[therealgenius]

Oh, Anthony, I think about you every day. Every. Single. Day.

Prison time does things to a man, didn't you know?

[allfatherissues]

Is your mundane suffering from doubts, Stark? How generous of you to offer your reassurances.

[hotredhero]

Thanks for the concern, but everything's under control. I was just reminding them that they put that application together for a reason.

[allfatherissues]

[Right. "Concern".

Evenly, but dryly:] That reason being to shuffle you off into space. One would think you'd be better off dissuading her.

[Disclaimer: The opinions expressed by Loki do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the mundane.]

[hotredhero]

[Yup. He chose that word for a reason. c:]

I thought about that, actually. But I figure if you're going to be up there after the world explodes or whatever happens to it, then at least one more of us around couldn't hurt.

[allfatherissues]

What, then? Still expecting to play the part of hero, even when so far removed from home?

[He speaks in a more general sense, of course, but he can't help but frown ever so slightly at the thought – as if he needs more of you Avenger-types spoiling all the potential fun he plans on having.]

It'll not be so simple.

I CAN GET THE RIGHT ICON

[polyscimajor]

Yeah I heard about that. The whole Drive-thing is going to be a pain.

But that one was sweet.

[hotredhero]

Seems like we're headed for some interesting times.

...Actually, I'm pretty sure that's a curse somewhere.

only because she has the best faces

[polyscimajor]

Interesting might be a little tame there dude. It's too bad I'm going to be losing my cell service. World's ending and I just paid my bill.

She does, it's true.

[hotredhero]

Well, at least you'll get a great new phone for free. And your circle just got a whole lot bigger.

[polyscimajor]

No kidding, like a few hundred times bigger. Never been able to call up demons or ponies before, so that's new. Wonder if I can download all my apps again.

[mjolnir_time]

Your mundane has good ideas. I would like to visit the World of Disney someday.

[hotredhero]

Okay, so at least we've got a road trip to look forward to.

[mjolnir_time]

Is it true this realm is ruled by a giant mouse?

[hotredhero]

In red shorts. And he gets his face printed on everything. Ask anyone.

[mjolnir_time]

So my mundane tells me. It sounds like a land of sorcery.
