(no subject)

[manofiron]

You know, I really thought this was going to be a lot worse than it's turning out to be. I mean, sure, you put me into some stupid situations, but with the exception of that one thing, I think they worked out all right.

And that one, well, that one didn't really happen.

Okay, but listen. There’s a point to all of this, and it’s not to compliment you on not being a complete failure. I have plans. Things I’m doing. I need to focus on them, and I know you’re all about the distractions. So just leave me out of them.

You want to put someone through some kind of nightmare freakshow? Take out Emo McMopey. Subject him to it. Whatever. I don’t care. This is my official “Do Not Disturb” until at least the supposed end of the world.

Wait, no. Scratch that. After New Year’s. You know, when the world actually doesn’t end.

Moral of the story: my calendar’s full. I don’t have time for you.

Do you really think that will work?

[manofiron]

It's gotta be worth a try, right?

[likeamonster]

Only if you like the sound of your voice a lot.

[manofiron]

Well, there's that too. I mean, I have a nice voice. I don't mind listening to it.

[scaretaker]

You might have to go to the front desk for a Do Not Disturb sign. We're a bit...old-fashioned.

[manofiron]

Old-fashioned? Really? So marrying hotels was in back in ye olden times?

[scaretaker]

Commitment isn't something that's reserved for marriages, Mister Stark.

Do you know about ethical and moral obligations?

[manofiron]

You are seriously going to try to talk about morals with me? Really?

Okay. Sure. I'll play. Yes, Jack. I know about them. I also know about commitment. You know, the non-marriage kind. I know it. I know how to do it. I think I'm doing a pretty good job with it, actually.

[scaretaker]

You have issues letting things go, don't you?

I hope you do a better job of it than you do, ah, what was it? Doubling as a nightlight?

[manofiron]

Some things kind of stick with you whether you want them to or not.

You have a problem with nightlights now? What? Should I be insulted?

[scaretaker]

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted. I'll go with flattered.

No, I'm the insulted one. Keep up, genius.

[worldsgreatestmarksman]

Emo McMopey? Really? C'mon Stark, you can do better than that.

[manofiron]

Okay, fine. How would you describe Loki?

[worldsgreatestmarksman]

[Flatly.] Dead man walking.

[manofiron]

I like that. Succinct. Descriptive. Good call, Barton.

[worldsgreatestmarksman]

I don't make bad calls, Stark.

[manofiron]

No? Not a one?

[worldserpent]

It would simply make Father more mad than he already is. Which would.. be bad for mortals.

[manofiron]

What? What would make him mad?

Wait.

Father?

[allihave]

Are you talking about that place my Mun wants to take me to? I think it was called Cannon what cannon.

[manofiron]

No, it's--You're going to a game? My advice? Say no. It's not as much fun as you think it is.

[allihave]

I'm already in one. She's thinking of sending me to another.

[manofiron]

One's not enough, huh? Think you're going to like it?

[allihave]

I don't know, you're there.

[manofiron]

So then it will be great! Glad to hear it.
