Since the mun had a castmate discussion earlier...

[hotredhero]

I'm not lonely. Why would we need more of us on the ship anyway? Everything's just fine.

I did not screw up. And, really, who would you be inviting? No one fun if I know you. It's bad enough having Captain Killjoy telling me how to run my business.

[And there's an eyeroll.]

I do not need a babysitter. You want to bring more people on board? Find a Banner. At least he'd be interesting to talk to.

And just for the record? I think we should name the dog Rhodey.

You don't even want the dog.

We're naming him Toothgrinder.

[hotredhero]

You're right. I don't want the dog.

And that's why I'd call it something at least more tolerable. Since I'd have to live with one.

[pursuitofcappiness]

We could get a second dog named Rhodey.

I thought you wanted fish.

[hotredhero]

I don't want a second dog. I don't want the first dog.

Fish don't wake you up at three in the morning.

[pursuitofcappiness]

And when are you ever asleep at three in the morning?

[greenisnteasy]

Yeah, I'm definitely booked as my own personal babysitter. If you're looking for a cohort in just-this-side-of-bad-idea rebellion, I have some pent up aggression that needs to be routinely and safely vented.

[hotredhero]

Oh, now you're just being contrary. Look, if you want a dog, get a dog. I'm just saying it's a bad idea.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I don't. I think you're going to end up loving the dog more than the rest of us do.

[hotredhero]

It's not a bad idea. They're just bad at the execution.

Although I'm pretty sure everyone we know is mostly in favor of that pent up aggression bit. I wouldn't complain.

[hotredhero]

What makes you think I'd want a dog getting hair all over my stuff?

[pursuitofcappiness]

You wouldn't. I don't think anyone does. But I think you're going to love Toothy enough to overlook that.

[clipboard]

You don't need a babysitter, huh? Okay.

[hotredhero]

Um, that's called projecting, Rogers.

[hotredhero]

... That depends on the babysitter.

[clipboard]

No, no! You've said it already, that's obviously the last word on the matter.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'll clean up after the dog, Stark.

[hotredhero]

Well, I- I meant literally. I'm old enough to not need a chaperone, so I was letting them know they got it wrong.

Come on, Pepper. When do I not need you?

[clipboard]

Don't give me that look.

[hotredhero]

Okay, fine, get a dog. Not like I had any say in the first place.

[hotredhero]

What look?

1/2

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'm not even going to be the one getting a dog.

[skinnykid]

I am. You're Mr. Stark, right?

[hotredhero]

That doesn't work. Also I already agreed to the drool factory, so this is unnecessary.

[mjolnir_time]

What kind of a name is "Rhodey"? Our hound should have a strong name that will strike fear in the hearts of our enemies.

[Now watch Steve come home with a chihuahua.]

[skinnykid]

No, I wanted to meet his-- my friends. My mun's been telling me a lot about you all, since she's really excited.
