getting snarked at by my own muse? what else is new. |D

[diedonce]

You're wasting your time.

I have no interest in meeting your friend's delusional self-important businessman. You know I don't like staying in one place. If that's all you're bringing me out for, don't be surprised if I leave and don't come back.

hiiiiii favorite 8}

[aestark]

Might I suggest some other adjectives that might convince you otherwise?

WELL HAI 8D And I'm just going to apologize for her in advance.

[diedonce]

[Speak of the devil! Elektra crosses her arms and stares at him.]

No.

Apologize for her core of pure awesomeness? Accepted.

[aestark]

Chatty Cathy, I see.

[ He shrugs a little, unfazed. If anyone can hold a one-sided conversation, it's Tony. Rather unfortunate for her...

But really, the cold, stoic charade just compliments the whole image you're going for.

rofl. It's a clash of awesomeness.

[diedonce]

[Bring it on, Tony. Bring it.]

Really. And what image is that?

[No, really-- she's genuinely curious what he's going to pull out his ass say.]

[aestark]

A woman with nothing to lose and everything to gain. You keep anyone at a distance unless they have a price on their head or deserve a knife in their neck, isn't that right?

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

[diedonce]

[That's pretty on the mark, she'll give him that. Too bad it's not just an image.]

Then your attempts to approach me must mean you're either incredibly foolish or you have a death wish. Which is it?

[aestark]

[ Please don't mind him helping himself to a seat during this warning. Once he digests, he leans forward regarding her with genuine intrigue. ]

Are you this nice to all your admirers or is it just me?

[diedonce]

You said it yourself. I keep my distance until it's time for someone to die. [She tilts her head just slightly, a smirk drawing back one side of her mouth.] Why waste time trying something you know won't work?

[aestark]

Contrary to whatever you've been informed of or whoever has told you what to do, no one is holding you here against your will.

[ He cants his head a bit to properly maintain eye contact with her. ]

I don't think I need to tell you that you're free to do as you please.

[diedonce]

Good, then we have an understanding here.

[And so she turns and begins to walk away.]

[aestark]

A perfectly clear one.

You give up far too easily.

[diedonce]

It's not giving up when I never wanted to meet you to begin with.

[lanegendary]

That guy? Nobody ever wants to meet him, they just get forced into it somehow.

[aestark]

Remind me, who are you again?

[lanegendary]

Check your receipts, it'll remind you of all the useless crap you bought while begging for a date.

[as for giving Tony what he wants? pfffffffff]

[aestark]

Must have moved on.

Did you at least keep the stuff?

[lanegendary]

I tried giving it to Goodwill but they wouldn't take it. The manager said they get better donations from Wal-Mart.

[aestark]

I don't know what that means.

[lanegendary]

The supergenius doesn't know how to use Google.

[aestark]

Personally I prefer other methods of research.

[lanegendary]

Yeah, ok.

[status update: lanegendary has left the conversation]

[diedonce]

I'm not surprised. That's probably the only way his business keeps from being flushed through the sewers.

[lanegendary]

That and I hear his PA does all the work.

[diedonce]

Then she's either admirably hard-working or a complete idiot.

[lanegendary]

I don't really know much about her, so I can't really speak there.

Anyway, good luck getting rid of the creep. I hear he likes women who aren't into him.

[diedonce]

I don't need luck. I can make him leave.

ohai fellow death survivor

[imfollowinghim]

And don't be surprised if they keep dragging you out anyway.

'sup bro

[diedonce]

It's better than sitting around.

nm how's things

[imfollowinghim]

I guess that depends. From what I hear, delusional self-important businessmen can be a real pain in the ass.

oh you know. killing people. kicking ass. same ol'.

[diedonce]

Nothing I can't take care of.

Sounds like you know a few.

sounds like fun

[imfollowinghim]

I've got a friend who does. Mostly just the one.
