Join the Avengers. You'll be able to tell people that they're stupid on a whole new level.

[the_new_sexy]

You'd make me wear a costume.

Or the hat.

[theothereight]

We wouldn't make you wear a costume.


...I might make you wear the hat.

[the_new_sexy]

It's a stupid hat.

[theothereight]

There are 80 year olds playing chess in the park who would take offense to that.

[the_new_sexy]

There are fangirls of John's website that would take offense to it, too, but that doesn't make it any less true.

[theothereight]

There are not fangirls of that website. I've seen that website.

Also, why do you know the phrase "fangirl" but not the solar system?

[the_new_sexy]

John's told me about it. And believe me, when you deal with the sort of "fans" I deal with...

Wait---what? You've seen his blog? No, what am I saying? Of course you've seen his blog.

[theothereight]

I would trade your fans for Tony's fans in an instant.

Yup. Whenever you pick up a detail that I don't, I just look up at the sky and smile.

[the_new_sexy]

Let me guess, he has more than one different type of fan.

The ones who want him to stop them before they kill again, the ones who want his business, ones who want to be his sidekick, and those who want him to hop in a taxi to their bedroom.

There are also the ones who make autotune remixes of his senate hearings. Those are the worst. He collects them all into a mixed CD and plays it in the office.

So, with all that to offer, why wouldn't you want to work here?

[the_new_sexy]

I'll consult if you need me. If it's not boring.

[theothereight]

It'd be easier if you were out here. Our cases tend to be of the "solve this in 10 minutes or the world ends" persuasion.

[the_new_sexy]

You can always text me.

[theothereight]

Sure. Next time the world's ending, I'll text you. That can be our thing.

[the_new_sexy]

A thing.

[theothereight]

Do we have more than one thing? I thought, "Hey Sherlock, here's this pile of goo, tell me more about it" was about it.

[the_new_sexy]

Unless the goo is interesting, please don't bother.

[theothereight]

It keeps making people do its bidding. And you'd think that with the most powerful people on earth in one location, it would want to make them do something nefarious. But so far, just awkward wedding dances. The chicken dance. The Macarena. That kind of thing.

[the_new_sexy]

Interesting.

I'm on my way to the airport.

[theothereight]

Good. Because I'm actually doing the chicken dance while I'm talking to you and it's deeply unsettling.

There's a jet waiting.
