Tumblr broke his brain for the umpteenth time.

I'm at a loss for words here, mun. Something like this simply would not happen. I know you had hopes, your mindspace practically screams them at me sometimes, but it's just not feasible.

I couldn't take the risk of something going wrong. Which means it'd have to be very, very safe, and slow, and downright boring. Certainly nothing like... well, that. Besides, I don't even own that many necklaces, and...

I mean, I'm not actually thinking about it. I'm only pointing out how things would go if, hypothetically speaking, we ventured into a relationship beyond professional. Which we wouldn't, except as friends, and I think we already are.

No, I don't mean friends with-- actually, I'm not going to finish that statement. Discussion is over.

Tony Stark?

[gammabruce]

The one and only.

[Just ignore the multiples.]

[omar]

I've heard the name. Anyone come with a rep like that someone Omar gonna want to keep an eye out for, once we gets where we going. You heading for this hellboat place too, right?

[gammabruce]

He's not a bad guy, really.

[Science Bro Loyalty. It's a beautiful thing.]

Yes. In approximately two days. Or at least, that's when the app will be submitted. When I actually get in is unknown.

[omar]

Didn't say he was. Just that I'm the one people say that about, back where I comes from.

Ayo, warden though, right?

[gammabruce]

I apologize for the misunderstanding. Why would they say that about you, if you do not mind my asking?

Yes. Still on the fence about what my "deal" might be, but I like to help people. It seems a fitting place.

[omar]

"The one and only" thing, I mean. [He grins.] And it's because I am the one and only.

Figured as much; you seem like the type. You and me on opposite sides of the fence, then.

[gammabruce]

I see. Congratulations on that, then.

We're really not. By titles alone, yes, if one looked at it that way. I choose not to.

[omar]

That's noble. [And stupid, but okay.]
