Spider-who?

Exactly how it sounds. He's a good guy, really.

[mechatronic]

[S'up other-self, fancy bumping into you here! Looking handsome as always, I see. No surprises there.]

How it sounds is that there should be more limbs and less lyrca, but I've been disappointed by marketing strategies before so I'm sure I'll live.

So, the kid's a buddy of yours? Ours? No, let's stick with 'yours,' makes most sense.

[definingfuture]

[Figured that since he knows the answer and all. And, really, who better to hear from than you, right?]

Yeah, well, actually that's a valid point. But it's more of a subtle theme now. Well, as subtle as you can get with that kind of gig. Peter--that's his name, by the way--he's in our business. The hero business, not repulsors or energy. He's good people. We've worked together.

[Are they still friends? Well...] Yeah. He's a friend.

[mechatronic]

[Totally. And hey, can't think of a single person Tony would rather listen to than himself.]

Peter. Right. Got it. [Possibly. It's actually not that relevant to him in this point in time.] And wait, "more of a subtle theme now"? As in it wasn't always? Yikes. Sucks to be him, I guess. Well, maybe not to much now if that's what you're driving at, but still.

And I like people in our business; means complaints can be filed and dealt with internally rather than through the mass destruction alien invasion route.

...You've had those, right? [Brief pause.] What am I saying, you totally have. I bet you have your own invasion drinking game by now.

[slaegr]

Not a particularly creative lot when it comes to picking names for your alter-egos, are you.

[mechatronic]

Loathe though I am to admit it--and I really do mean loathe here--you're not wrong.

Why, what would you have gone with, Shawshank?

[1/2]

[slaegr]

Agreeing with the enemy? Be careful, Stark. They'll accuse you of of defection before too long.

[ There just isn't enough sarcasm in the world for Loki. ]

[2/2]

[slaegr]

[ And since he doesn't understand your analogy he'll just raise an eyebrow like you're the idiot. ]

"Shawshank?"

[ ... While ignoring the question. Naturally. ]

[mechatronic]

Pretty sure I've been accused of worse. And if I haven't then I should add it to my to-do list.

[Oh, Loki. Really? Really?]

Remind me again what you actually did with your time on Earth. Seriously, I'm surrounded by people who don't get basic pop-culture references. You're all a disaster.

[gimmecornbread]

[Excuse you but The Green Mile was better.]

[mechatronic]

[Well, yeah, that might be true, but that doesn't work so well as in nickname form does it?]

[webweaving]

Spider-Man. Spider-Man. Don't tell me I gotta spell it out for you guys now.

[mechatronic]

Uh-huh, sure, got it, whatever you say, kid. Actually, that's a thing: how old are you, anyway?

[butwhytho]

Excuse you?

[mechatronic]

Did I stutter?

i ain't even sorry

[butwhytho]

You don't remember?

[dudeoflead]

For a Goddamn genius billionaire whattheshitever, you sure as fuck never mind going full retard.

[mechatronic]

[Well.

He opens his mouth to reply to that...and then closes it again as he realises he doesn't actually have an instant come back to that. Huh. How about that.]

I think the word you wanted there was playboy, Sgt. Political Correctness, but I'd also accept philanthropist in a pinch.

[dudeoflead]

[Excuse you, Kirk is legit head-to-toe Vietnam here, don't get on his beautiful ass about PC.]

Sergeant Lincoln Osiris to you. Or, "me as a brother" might work, too. [So IC, Kirk.] But I'll explain it to you, since you're so baffled. See, the subject is "re: amazing spider-man coming out in his player's country tomorrow" which is basically saying, I'm talking regarding the Spider-Man movie. That you can't remember it long enough to remember the name of the fucking movie leads me to believe that you were sober that whole week after the Expo and then said fuck it and smashed your gorgeous face into a pile of coke five times a week after. It's a sad world, man, in the drug business, but you'll be a'ight.

[neveracoward]

The world's worst pizza delivery boy, that's who.

[mechatronic]

Great, that's all I wanted to know. Simple.

[neveracoward]

[Her eyes narrow slightly—completely yellow eyes, that is, no sign of a pupil.]

He's also an Avenger.

oh hello ♥

[breathinhulkout]

I've been told there's a chance he'll be one of ours.

Well hello there :D

[mechatronic]

Don't we have a rule about picking up strays or something?

\o/ biting the bullet and posting him around... sort of.

[breathinhulkout]

I wouldn't count him as a stray.
