@-@ Mun is too stressed over too many things

[whatfriendsdo]

You know, I'm pretty sure I had all my shit together when I turned twenty-five.

...I was being sarcastic. You need a vacation or something. And yeah I know how likely that is.

Shut up and listen. It's a game. You care too much. You can't do everything your guy would do, you don't live there, and you don't have to keep up as though you do. You're too responsible. Cut loose for God's sake, do whatever you want to and screw the rest. You've got too much to do to tie yourself in knots over whether or not you're pretending well enough.

Say it with me: It's. A. Game.

[ EYEBROW ] Was it the 'cut loose' or the 'screw' part that got your attention.

[ex_ironhearted402]

Can't a guy ask a stranger out on a Caribbean getaway without being accused of any licentious scheming?

[ it was the screwing ]

So, yes?

[whatfriendsdo]

[Snort. Well that one's new.] So what, you want to take a stranger to the Carribean to cuddle for a week? I've heard of weird fetishes, but that takes the cake as the most expensive.

[ex_ironhearted402]

People can marry their pets and random French landmarks, but a mysterious stranger whisking you away to island paradise is weird? Wow.

[ GOSH ]

Your expensive isn't the same as my expensive.

[whatfriendsdo]

Your weird is definitely not the same as my weird.

[ OKAY THIS SHOULD BE IRRITATING why is it fun. ]

Besides. [ Holds up a hand and waggles her fingers. ] I'm married to my job, even if it is too cheap to buy a ring. Any torrid affairs need to stay conveniently located.

[ex_ironhearted402]

I moonlight as a superhero dressed in gold-titanium armor; I try not to judge.

[ BECAUSE HE'S SO SMARMY AND RI-DICK-ULOUS ]

Lucky for the both of us, I'm married to the job too. We can pretend it's a kind of super-secret, torrid love-affair.

[whatfriendsdo]

Super-secret. When you moonlight as a superhero dressed in gold-titanium armor. [She is the most skeptical.] One of these things is not like the other.

[ex_ironhearted402]

It's hard to be an internationally-famous billionaire genius and keep a secret second identity.

[ that, and he'd hate to miss out on the fame ]

[whatfriendsdo]

All of Bruce Wayne's ego and none of Batman's reservations. [ NOT SMILING OKAY ] So that would make you the one and only Iron Man.

[ when in the multiverse, it pays to have nephews ]

[ex_ironhearted402]

Batman? Who names themselves after a bat?

[ SO OFFENDED WHY AREN'T YOU IMPRESSED MURPHY ]

The one and only. Sometimes I even go by Tony.

[whatfriendsdo]

He's a pretty heavy hitter, believe it or not. [TROLOLOLOLO.] Tony Stark. I know.

[....Oh, why the hell not. There's a little twitch of a smile, more wicked than friendly.] I'm a fan of the hardware.

[ex_ironhearted402]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[ TONY DOESN'T HAVE DEAD PARENT ISSUES... WELL OKAY MAYBE. DAMNIT BRUCE ]

Not to brag-- okay, definitely bragging, but the suit does rock. Zero to mach eight in ten seconds, ultra portable, and it even comes in two classy colors.

[whatfriendsdo]

Faster than a speeding scramjet. [She might even maybe sound the tiniest bit impressed. Also like she's having too much fun with this. ] Of course, there's the question of whether you can sustain that kind of speed for more than a few minutes.

[EYEBROW.]

[ex_ironhearted402]

And way more handsome.

[ and now with the straightest face and most level tone of voice ]

You can tell me in the morning.
