Re: player's stupid, indecisive feels and bouts of nostalgia

[doesthemath]

Well, I suppose something could be said for the fact that you haven't become so overwhelmed by these "feels" of yours that you've lost track of your existing commitments. With three already in a game and everything you do outside of it, you have more than enough to keep you busy. Besides, I have no interest in going anywhere without Pietro. Yes, I realize there are others from our team out there, but you forget that as happy as you may be to see them, it's unlikely that they would be as pleased to see me.

Our current arrangement is acceptable, without that "canon update" you continue to fuss over indecisively. You know that no good can come of incorporating wretched writing and art.

"Feels"?

[doesthemath]

The latest shorthand or slang for emotional feelings, apparently.

[hulk]

Well. Doubt anybody would stay unhappy seeing you around. I mean.

[doesthemath]

[Oh, hi there stranger.]

That's sweet of you to say, Bruce.

It's been a while. I hope you've been well?

[hulk]

[ Just moseying on through, ma'am. ]

Uh, more like... Been busy. Very much with the busy, actually. I'd ask the same about you, but. Seems like you've mostly been shelved if I'm reading things right.

[doesthemath]

That's more or less the current state of things, yes. She gets in a mood every once in a while and drags me out, then just as quickly drops me for the others she's been preoccupied with.

[Not that she minds.]

[hulk]

Ah. Must be frustrating. I mean, not that I'd advocate the whole game thing, with the various downsides that happen in them, but. Still.

[doesthemath]

Mm, it has its moments. On one hand I don't have any exploding buildings coming down on my head, for instance, but then I'm also cut off all of those who I've come to know well...

[She lifts her shoulders in a shrug.]

What about you? You said you've been busy?

[hulk]

Y- Exactly. That'd be something to go and avoid.

Oh, you know. Alien invasions, giant turtles. Reed Richards. Never a dull moment. [ Ahaaaaaaaaa. ]

[crotcharrow]

Don't even talk to me about their "feels".

[doesthemath]

Giant turtles?

[Yes, this is the thing that she finds out of the ordinary.]

[hulk]

Newest place I was dumped is apparently on the back of one. I don't even know.

[doesthemath]

[Not!son. ;w;]

Then let's not and instead you tell me how you're doing?

[Aaand she's going to approach and see if he still seems okay with hugs.]

[doesthemath]

Are you serious?

It just...allows you to stay on its back? It never submerges underwater?

[hulk]

Apparently? I don't know, I just showed up over there. But nobody's gone and mentioned the place going under yet, so either it doesn't happen or it hasn't happened since people started showing up? So.

[ shrug??? ]

[swissarmybow]

That's really special.

[inebriety]

Sweetie, it's always a pleasure to see you.

[Since you know, it means she isn't dead.]

[crotcharrow]

[No not!Mom, i promised myself i wouldn't get attached again but dammit i cannot resist.]

Uh. Okay I think? I'm stuck on a giant turtle in the middle of a gang war, but I had like three dates already.

[He eyes her but doesn't make any moves that says he's not okay with it.]

[doesthemath]

Hm. Are the others there with you? Steve and Peggy? Or Betty perhaps?

[doesthemath]

Isn't it though?

[Have an appraising look. She notes his expression, his body language, and the apparent lack of recognition.]

You don't seem to be either of the Clint Bartons I know.

[hulk]

Steve is, and so's Peggy but I haven't met her yet. [ Not talking about Betty oops. ]

[doesthemath]

[Yes, she's quite happy about that too. Have a smile, she's not displeased to see you.]

Stark. It's been a while. You're looking well.

[swissarmybow]

You know two?

[doesthemath]

[Alright, hugs are happening for sure then. She opens her arms, giving him plenty of time to move away, before wrapping them around him.]

Three already? That sounds a better than it was on Sacrosanct.

[crotcharrow]

[There's a small twitch when she moves in close, but he doesn't move away and after a few moments into the embrace, he actually leans against her, his hand sort of awkwardly going around her waist.]

It has it's perks. And it's downsides.
