i have no idea what i'm doing. voicetest.

So much for not jumping the bandwagon, I see.

Well, thank you for your consideration, I suppose. Look, I realize you have some sort of a category for "babysitters of grown men" - your words, by the way, not mine - but honestly, this seems like a dubious honor at best. At worst, well... I probably shouldn't even go there. Let's just say that I've heard some stories.

Besides, I do keep busy enough as it is. Babysitting or no.

[There's a smile, sharp and cunning.]

One wonders about those stories. Would you be at all inclined to share?

i'm giving you riftverse!Buffy. because of reasons.

[kiss_evilgoodbye]

When grown men need their own babysitters, you have to wonder a bit about the state of society.

[earpiece]

It may be a good idea for us to form a support group, Miss Potts.

[LOOK, COULSON IS MAKING A JOKE.]

[efficacy]

[ Get out, you. :| ]

I'm sure that you've already heard them all.

[rockofages]

[Nope.]

Oh but what could be better than hearing it from a lady such as you?

[arcofiron]

Babysitter? That's harsh Pep.

I ain't that bad. Think about all the nice things I've done!

i have no complaints at all!

[efficacy]

Thankfully that seems to apply to a limited portion of the gender. I like to think there's hope, still.

[efficacy]

[ AWW, PHIL. ]

Excellent idea. The sooner, the better, I think.

[kiss_evilgoodbye]

But it's the limited portion you happen to work for?

[a beat]

Or at least I hope you work for. It would suck to have babysit and not get paid.

[efficacy]

I did mention that wasn't my choice of words, didn't I?

I'm not disputing that at all. But even you have to admit that you couldn't even find your shoes without me.

[efficacy]

[ Damn it. ]

I was under the impression that mere mortals weren't worth your time.

[earpiece]

Agreed.

[AND NOW HE'S SMILING. WHAT.]

How are you? Aside from busy, which I can only assume means Mr. Stark is busy as well. [Is this his subtle way of trying to get information? MAYBE.]

[arcofiron]

But you used the words.

I could so find my shoes! I found them this morning and a tie.

See I could totally live okay on my own. I'm a genius remember

[efficacy]

Indeed I do. [ And there's the whole dating thing too, but details. ] But it's not as bad as I may have made it sound. By now I've had a lot of practice.

[efficacy]

[ SOMETHING WONDERFUL, THAT'S WHAT. ]

Quite fine, thank you, Phil. [ She smiles; she likes you, Phil, but she doesn't tattle unless it's something very very important. ] Well, you know Tony. He's always busy with some project or another. And how are things at your end?

[efficacy]

Well, my apologies. I didn't mean to wound your fragile ego.

A matching pair, even? Perhaps there's hope for you, after all.

Mm. Should I take that as a hint?

[arcofiron]

It's not fragile! And yes matching. I mean I don't have many variations in shoes.

But no hints. Still need you obvious Pep you're irreplaceable. That and remember I need someone to get handed things

[efficacy]

But of course. What was I thinking?

Why thank you, Tony. I appreciate that. And I'll gladly keep handing you things, whether you want them or not.

[arcofiron]

Glad to hear it. But don't hand me to many things.
Or I might actually buy your birthday present for you. I'm sure you've always wanted [He thinks for a moment] a picture of me? enlarged to the size of a wall?

[efficacy]

Unless you're worried I might one day suddenly forget what you look like, I think we should keep to the arrangement we have now.

[therealgenius]

No one can say you're not a hard worker.

[kiss_evilgoodbye]

Practice helps, but that won't stop the babysit-ee from surprising you.

[rockofages]

[Eheheheh]

Many are not, some are. You are one of the few. [LIES, but hey, it's Loki.]

[arcofiron]

But I thought you loved seeing my face

[efficacy]

[ Rude. ]

Well, you'll excuse me if I'm not particularly flattered nor entirely convinced.
