I've been sitting around here for months and you pick Stark ahead of me?

As judgment calls go, that's... interesting. [ By which she means fucking stupid. ]

Comments

[trainwrecked]

There's no accounting for taste, is there.

[tendnottoweep]

Apparently. [ She cocks an eyebrow. ] You know him personally, or just by reputation?

[trainwrecked]

... second-hand/close observation. She has both Potts and Rhodes in here.

[tendnottoweep]

Well, that explains a lot. You can tell them both they have my sympathies.

[terraformagica]

It feels awful to get put on hold for someone else, doesn't it...

[tendnottoweep]

There are worse feelings. I'm just getting tired of promises that never come through.

[terraformagica]

Do you ever get scared? Of being let down, I mean...

[tendnottoweep]

Scared? Not particularly. Not about that. I try not to worry about things I can't control.

[imperius_procer]

I wouldn't feel too bad, I've been sitting up in his head for years and he still chose a convicted mass murderer to play over me. Did I mention that mass murderer already died in her canon?

Sometimes I think they do it purposely, just to aggravate us.

[tendnottoweep]

I don't think she's doing it purposely, I think she has the attention span of a small child.

...though your explanation wouldn't surprise me either.

[imperius_procer]

Seems to something a lot of them have in common. I'd hoped he'd steady down after a few years, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Yes, they do enough to aggravate us in actual play. Mine takes special glee in "drama" moments.

[tendnottoweep]

So I've heard. I haven't experienced the 'drama' myself, but I imagine I have it to look forward to.

So why do you stick around, if he hasn't really used you after all this time?

[xperymentale]

I don't think they ever think these things through and my apologies. [ For sharing a headspace with Stark. ] ...maybe she'll come to her senses soon.

[tendnottoweep]

[ A wry smile. She knows exactly what the apology is for. ] Thank you.

Either she will, or I'll bring her around. I'm not one to sit around cooling my heels for too long.

[xperymentale]

[ Nods in acknowledgement as a small smile purses her own lips. ]

Nice to hear; a little persuasion never truly hurt anybody.

[arches]

Ouch. You know, I get that muns are supposed to be pains in the ass, but that's just cold.

[tendnottoweep]

Yeah. If I didn't know better, I'd think she's doing it specifically to piss me off.

[arches]

So, another to add to the list of her bad ideas?

[thebestman]

My apologies, Agent. I think that might be a little bit my fault.

[ slight awkward shuffle

[tendnottoweep]

It's fine, Captain. I know perfectly well that Stark started this. It's not your fault you got dragged along for the ride.

[thebestman]

Well, all due respect, ma'am, I think he might've stayed a passing fancy without me coming around. Can't say I'm really looking forward to it, but muns'll do what they want without a thought to the rest of us.

Agent Barton's a bit put out by the whole thing, too, I think. He's... glaring a lot.

[therealgenius]

Funny how he always seems to come out on top, isn't it?

[tendnottoweep]

...please don't say that anywhere he might hear you. He doesn't need the opening.

[therealgenius]

Oh, trust me, I tend not to stroke Anthony's ego if I can help it. So much easier to talk about his dad, the real marvel.

[starknaked]

We're redefining interesting to mean expected and logical now? Huh.
