on being reclaimed and updated (possibility of Avengers spoilers in comments?)

[threeolives]

Do you think you could wait a bit longer for this? I'm neck deep in these repairs right now, and we both know you're so busy you can hardly keep yourself going, let alone me as well. If you do this you're going to have to canon review, update my icons, make activity checks... All I'm saying is that it would be prudent to delay this for a little while.

Although I do miss the City. And my friends.

[ And Tony. ]

Yes, him too.

[charring]

You're coming back? [Hopeful sister-child-person is hopeful.]

[threeolives]

Maybe, depending on what the mods say. She just now asked on the application post about it.

[charring]

I hope they say yes. It'll definitely brighten the City some more.

[threeolives]

I hope so too. I could use a break from all the craziness I've had lately. Not that the City isn't crazy, but it's better when everyone around you has to deal with the same level of insanity, you know?

[charring]

Oh, I know full well.

[doeswhathewants]

Prudent is boring. Jump in headfirst.

[threeolives]

That's very ...wise advice coming from someone so young.

[doeswhathewants]

Genius. What can I say?

[threeolives]

[ Oh great another one. ] From what I know of geniuses, I bet you can say quite a lot.

[doeswhathewants]

Why speak when one can listen? [And learn.] Any good at cards?

[threeolives]

I'm starting to like you, little genius.

I've played a bit of poker, but I'm not that good. [ Truth? Bluff? You decide. ]

[doeswhathewants]

As well you should, I'm charming.

I shall challenge you to a game sometime in the city. [He cheats... magically.]

[threeolives]

Perhaps I'll take you up on that. Can I ask the name of the little genius who'll likely be robbing me blind in a poker game?

[doeswhathewants]

Serrure, the charmingly Dickensian street urchin. And you?

[threeolives]

Pepper, the modern businesswoman with infinite patience. It's a pleasure to meet you, Serrure.

[doeswhathewants]

Your patience is well documented in the media. The pleasure is all mine, of course, Miss Pepper.

[threeolives]

Oh, I'm in the media? City media or thatt outside of it?

[doeswhathewants]

Outside, of course. I'm rather unsure the City has media.

[debrief]

Pepper. It would be nice to have you there.

[threeolives]

Phil! You're-- but-- are you--

[ Deep breaths, Pepper, you know how the City works. ]

When did you come to the City? From an outside perspective, I mean.

[debrief]

Seconds before I die. It was quite an entrance, apparently. [ Dry. ]

[threeolives]

Apparently. That's good, though. I'm glad to hear you made it.

How... How's Tony?

[debrief]

At least in the City, yes.

He's [ irritating as usual? injured? doing surprisingly well with the rest of the Avengers? ] on the mend.

[therealgenius]

No wonder Tony keeps you around. You're responsible enough for an entire AA group!

[threeolives]

Thank you, Justin.

Oh god, please tell me he's not in the City too...

[therealgenius]

Who me? Oh no, I'm not.

...should I be?

[gonnabite]

The City?

Superheroes and shit, right?

[threeolives]

And magic and curses, yes. That's the one. Have you been?

[gonnabite]

Yeah. Magic and curses.

I haven't, but the mun used to have a guy there a couple years ago. Some kind of walking electric socket. She's thinking of going back.
