Mr. Smith,

I have a particularly weird question, and I hope you'll humor me if I'm way off base, but do you ever dream about dreaming? I mean, with other people, using a machine?

I know, I said it was weird.

>> Sorry about last night.
>> It's not like they're new dreams.
>> But I'm not getting over it like I should.

[ Text to Arthur Smith ]

>> Hey, you free for dinner?
>> I need an ear.

[ Text to Pepper Potts ]

>> Hey, come down to the lab when you get a chance.

[ Text to Bruce Banner ]

>> I changed the permissions to my lab.
>> You've got entry, but I wanted you to know in case JARVIS cocks up or something.

[ Text to Arthur Smith ]

>> I've changed some security settings around my lab, FYI.

>> Why.

>> Okay so here's some suggestions of places you are not likely to be shot at in theory.
>> Edinburgh. (They throw trees there, and you're quick.)
>> Barcelona. (The bull thing already happened.)
>> Toyko. (You might just get groped though, you do wear tight pants.)
>> I'd say Sydney but let's be real, Australia might take the chance to kill you anyway.

>> Found her.
>> Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.
>> Don't know more than that. Shoot me a message when you're there.

[Tony Stark]
>> Are you okay injured?

[Garrus Vakarian]
>> Tell your wife thanks for the help.
>> And you. But mostly your wife.

[John Blake]
>> Please tell me you're alive.

"So I need your help locking down the U.S. arsenal of nuclear missiles."

"Ring a ding, buddy. You on the clock?"

>> I need two favors.
>> Can I borrow a suit and will you be my best man?

>> You're missing a gorgeous sunset, Smith.
>> Reminds me of Prague.

» Got any updates for me on the Crowley front?
» I need to know what's going on.

>> Hey.
>> Happy Birthday.

[Text to Arthur]

>> How late are you working tomorrow?

[Text to Tali - Later]

>> Hey, you busy tomorrow?
>> Any interest in that wine walk thing?

>> Can I just say how glad I am that you're not into the Super Bowl?
>> I am a fan of this seven layer dip that was on sale though, you should try some when you get home.

>> So I'm probably going to have to do the whole wedding security thing soon huh?
>> Blah blah blah 'Crowley is there so put a sniper on him or something' blah blah blah?

Text to Tali VasNormandy

>> Hey, you know that shopping we did?
>> Turns out I need a dress. You up for this Saturday?

Text to Arthur Smith

>> How late are you working tonight?

A fancy invitation is sent out to everyone who is registered on the network and left at their front door. It is a red box with gold ribbon containing a little champagne bottle, bubbles, confetti, a Iron Man & Pepper figurine and the following invitation to a certain wedding:

[OOC: Feel free to use this post to RSVP!]

( Cut for image )

A mysterious black box is left on Crowley's desk. Inside is a silk tie in a blood red color– tied distinctly and deliberately into a noose.

There's a note underneath, written on heavy, expensive stationary with a fine pen:

Mr. Crowley–

Thank you for your well wishes. Take this as a token of my appreciation.

– A.S.

[Text to Arthur Smith]

>> Hey.
>> I need a favor.

[Text to Maria Hill]

>> I'm not going out tonight.
>> Feel like shit.

>> Help.

>> I know you and I aren't on friendly terms.
>> But there's something we need to talk about.

>> My landlord just called to say I can break the lease with no penalty.
>> You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

>> Two things.
>> One: you may want to be a little more selective about the New Year's party, if you're having one.
>> An old friend of mine is in town. I'm sure you're on his radar, and he doesn't play nice.
>> Two: I need your help dealing with an asshole landlord.

[Text to Tali]

>> Did you have a Merry Christmas?

[Text to Maria]

>> I wanted to thank you again for letting us come over.
>> It was a wonderful Christmas, I mean it. Thanks.

[Text to Arthur]

>> I have some bad news.
>> They're fussing about me breaking my lease two months early.
>> I guess we might have to wait until February.

[Text to Arthur Smith]

>> How're the ribs?

[Text to Maria Hill]

>> Doing a patrol tonight.
>> Are you okay?
>> I'll be home a little early though. Please talk to me.

So. There's this gigantic elephant in the room. I'm going to need your help getting rid of it.

How about you hop up to my office, kay?

>> How do you feel about Thanksgiving with my brother and his girlfriend?

[Text to Arthur Smith]

>> What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

[Text to Maria Hill]

>> I bought another pie.
>> Don't judge.

[Secure Text to Bruce Wayne]

>> Bruce, there's an emergency.
>> We need you badly. If you can't, I understand and won't hold it against you, but trust me. It's all hands on deck. Anyone you've got, even if you can't.

[Secure Text to Arthur Smith]

>> Get your girl and get the hell out of here.
>> Head to San Diego, but stay out of the city or really populated places.
>> Just trust me.

>> Now, where did you sneak off to, Mr. Bond?

[Text to Bruce Wayne]

>> Does the name Bane mean anything to you?

[Text to Maria Hill]

So Jarvis tells me you're working late.

Mind heading up to my office? Got something I need to discuss with you.

( Sent to Ariadne at work on Thursday. )

>> This is going to sound weird.
>> But I need a sounding board for some stuff I'm dealing with. Kind of hate to admit it, but no one else would probably get it.

>> I have a question.
>> Completely innocent, I assure you.

>> need ar ide
>> knida drnk
>> ourtaide Strk towet

>> Hey. You okay?
>> And if you say 'fine' I'll know you're probably lying so let's just skip that part.
