"How nice - to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive."

~Vonnegut; Slaughterhouse-Five

So there is a bookstore. I love books, I especially love the self-help books in this particular place. Though I must say, my imagination has always served me up with the -- ah, shall we say, finest forms of assistance?

Mm.

I found a copy of Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle which I'm keeping, and Slaughterhouse-Five which I'm reading. I also found a few volumes of Iron Man comic books, which I've taken all the copies of and hidden.

	Sweetheart, when you're me, that constitutes lying. I've a bit of a reputation. If he found out later I was keeping something from him... I don't know. I don't want to think about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh aye? What makes you so fucking special? Whatever. It's none of my fucking business anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know who Oscar Wilde is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do, yes. Is this a pop quiz? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well darling, I'm his Magnum opus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So? Is that meant to impress me? We're all from books here, darling. Fucking- Jay Gatsby is here! And half of the Tolkien creations. It doesn't make you special. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gatsby? Oh, that bitch doesn't have anything on me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, it isn't, it's in New York being guarded by Captain America. At least I had the decency to give my own narrative in my book, I didn't need someone else to do it for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, that's... different. Yeah? Found your a bit fucking boring, to be honest. Prefer his plays. Doesn't it give you a bit of an existential crisis? Being Wilde's creation and all that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whilst this is certainly true, I don't hear any of the rest of them shouting about their origins and believing that makes them better than the rest of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
