TEXT MESSAGES TO PEPPER POTTS / RESCUE (616):

» Questions:
» 1. Is the tower still standing?
» 2. Are you staying in the tower? (Because I am sending you something that I didn't make you pick out yourself ~~and will not later reappropriate for-~~.)
» 3. But if you were going to pick something out for yourself, what would it be, exactly?
» 4. What is our zip code again?
» 5. How's Other Pepper doing?
» 6. How's the AI holding up? Any suspicious compliments? Or conversely, a sudden interest in any dance-based reality shows?

» 1. Yes, they remarkably. Apparently we have quite a few superCarpenters in resident.
» 2. I'm at the Peninsula, but I'm checking in at the Tower. They're doing some repairs to the 7th floor.
» 3. From Italy?
» 4. 10282
» 5. Well, it seems Dr. McCoy's treatment left her with the healing ability and strength while stabilizing the part that would make her explode. She was pretty optimistic when I spoke to her.
» 6. He's rooting for Snooki, Tony. Suspicious compliments might have been kinder.
» How's your trip otherwise?

» 1. Super carpenters? Are they in any way affiliated with super walruses? I've recently come to understand that those guys hang out.
» 2. Yeah? How's it looking? Think it will be done by the 9th?
» 3. I figured Italy. But if you'd rather have something from the duty free store in Zurich, or La Guardia, I could swing that, too. American Way Magazine, maybe? They've got some Real Florida Key Lime Pies that look horrifying.
» 4. I knew it was something like that.
» 5. It took? No side effects, no signs of stopping? Good, I'm glad to hear that she's doing better. Talk about the dangers of rushing a product to market.
» 6. God, I'm so sorry. And, honestly, disappointed. I thought we raised him better than that. At the very least, he should be rooting for Bill Nye.
» It's been good. I've seen a lot of art. And buildings and churches. You know, old things. But the food is amazing. And I got to see the Arcetri observatory and like three different places Galileo used to live, so as far as old things go.

» 1. Unfortunately we don't have any mustaches quite great enough to count just yet.
» 2. I'll do a walkthrough tomorrow and call in a private contractor if it doesn't seem so. You'll be back on the 9th?
» 3. I think I've bought enough duty free to last a lifetime. I'm not even touching on SkyMall. I'd maybe say clothes. There are some suits I miss. But I suppose fashion's changed, and most of those are in New York this week anyhow.
» You know you're missing fashion week?
» 4. Skipping four.
» 5. I didn't press too far, and we started talking about other things, I think she wanted a cure more than this, but desperate times I guess. I don't know if I mean her or Hank by that. And it's still weird he's not blue.
» 6. I'm maintaining he just wants to root for the Dark Horse. Or likes arguing. Because pretty much everyone has to root for Bill Nye. It's reassuring he's the same across universes.
» Those are pretty old. And I'm sad to say I had to google most of them. But I'm glad you're having a good time.
» I, on the other hand, am just about caught up on Breaking Bad.

» 1. Offense taken. Although I admit that mine isn't great in a walrus sort of way.
» 2. Yeah, I'll be back on the 9th. Evening, but not too late. Probably call a car service, I guess.
» 3. I'm sure I'll think of something. Florence is known for its leather goods. I'll get you a leather catsuit so you can match the other super heroes. Sound good?
» I did. Not intentional, but I guess Calvin Klein will have to go on without me this year. Tell him (and Jessica Stam) that I send my regrets.
» 5. I'm sorry they couldn't give her what she wanted. Maybe once she's used to it. The RT node grew on you.
» 6. I hope he grows out of this. Just his AI equivalent of rebellious teenage years, maybe. Right? I downloaded several hours worth of that show onto my tablet and watched it on the plane while I let the flight attendant believe that I was video conferencing with shareholders in Hong Kong.
» It's been nice. I haven't had a real vacation in... I don't know how long. Thought it might be fun to pretend to believe in one of my retirement fantasies for a few minutes. I almost had myself going.
» Honestly, not sure which is a better use of time off. Where are you?

» 1. I'll use the excuse you're on another continent and haven't been hanging out with any super carpenters
» unless you've found some super-falegnami?
» 2. If the flight number's not changed, I'll have one sent.
» 3. I don't think I have the body to match the other superheroes.
» Are we differentiating you from the native Tony Stark somehow in correspondence?
» 5. I said something similar to her.
~~» And if I ever want to start my own team, natural partner!~~
» 6. I can't imagine Jarvis ever having teenage rebellion. Or being a teenager. Or a rebel.
» Actually, I can hardly picture him out of uniform.
» But I thought you were finishing Orange is the New Black.
» I stopped for now after they killed Mike (!!!)
» So six left?

» 1. No excuse.
» I have, actually. His name is Gepetto. Nice guy. Seems a little weird, though. Super obsessed with this puppet he's working on.
» 2. Flight info's the same, I'll text you if anything changes. Thank you.
» 3. Maybe not Jennifer Walters, but otherwise? I think you could make it work.
» I usually refer to myself as the taller one. Or version 2.0. I think others have gone with "alternate."
» 5. Super powers will certainly make it easier for her to keep her Tony Stark in line.
» 6. It just seems sort of absurd on the face of it, doesn't it? Like imagining a frog standing up.
» Maybe he's like reverse Sue Storm in that when he wears anything other than the uniform, he becomes invisible.
» I am. Multitasking. And after watching several episodes of OitNB with a 16-year-old on accident, I felt a little iffy about watching it on the plane before they'd done all of the relevant checks.
» I am not ready for Breaking Bad to be over. If Jesse dies, there will be hell to pay.
» They're talking about a spinoff for Saul, you know.

» 1. Alright Iron Walrus
» He sounds like someone you'd get along with.
» 2. It's a plan. And I'll set up notifs from the airline.
» "The Taller One" will probably work better for fashion people.
» 5. I'm not entirely sure super powers help much with that.
» But at least now if I ever decide to start my own team, I have a natural partner.
» 6. I can see it. Him loitering in mall parking lots, joyriding in convertibles, holding a little silver tray with spray paint for his friends. All with his combover and bowtie.
» He had those as a 15 year old right?
» If Jesse dies, I may have to take that boy in.
» Do you think since he's here he could sue Vince Gilligan to assure that he doesn't die?
» Do alternate dimensions work like that?
» I wish the cube would bring Mike so he could sue to be alive.
» Plus, you could use a bodyguard.
» At least that means Saul's safe?

» 1. An Iron Walrus probably wouldn't be very seaworthy.
» We both have a greater-than-average attachment to our stuff. Although in my case, I like to think it's particularly justified.
» I mean, it's the distinction they'd care about. Taller, younger. Although I guess the other one has more money, which would probably matter to them, too.
» 5. Well.. if anything would, it would be super powers.
» What would you call yourselves?
» 6. I kind of figure it would be like -- you know that episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where Giles thinks he's a teenager?
» I like to think so. I assume he sprang from the womb fully-formed with a bow tie and a combover.
» Might want to start looking out for a two bedroom. I'm not entirely sure that boy knows how to feed himself. Or shave.
» I'm not sure, but Law and Order has led me to believe that you can sue anyone for anything at any time, so it could be worth a shot.
» At the very least, if Mike shows up, he'll get a shot to live here. Then, maybe we can find some writers, write our own script, and reshoot. Like some sort of youtube-based video pod cast. "The Ongoing Adventures of Everyone But Walt."
» That, or they teased us with the promise of a spinoff to trick us into thinking he'll be fine.

» 1. I don't know, his puppet has misadventures and becomes a real boy.
» When your puppet tries to become self-aware we pretty much have to call out the Avengers.
» But when has not having money ever stopped you?
» 5. Litigation could work in the short term.
» The Pep Squad?
» Who needs anonymity when there are already blogs asking about "Lady Iron Man" anyway?
» And honestly? Lady Iron Man?
» At least make a ~~Margaret That~~ Meryl Streep reference.
» Or something not stupid.
» Oh, god, and all the doctors and teachers are dancing at the bronze?
» That's about what I'm imagining.
» Well, you didn't either for years either and managed your own apartment.
» But his granddaughter wouldn't be here.
» It could be a prequel, I guess.

» 1. That... is a fair point.
» Well... it got me to stop drinking. Though there were some other considerations there, as well.
» I guess you could say that was Henry Hellrung more than not having money.
» But you know. Proximal vs distal causation.
» 5. I mean, you could try injunctive relief, but you know courts only grant those under very narrow circumstances. And even then he worst they can really do is slap me with contempt.
» God, the Pep Squad. That's perfect. You should have shirts made up.
» Seriously? Lady Iron Man?
» And if you're not going to go for Streep, you still have Iron Maiden.
» I mean, come on. Work for it a little bit, gossip bloggers.
» 6. YES. That one! That episode. What was going on, do you remember? Something about chocolate? I don't know.
» Unrelated, I miss principle Flutie. He was an okay guy. He did not deserve to get eaten by hyenas.
» Fair enough. I'm sure he could use some surrogate parenting. Although I hear Sherlock's been trying to adopt him, too, so you might have to fight him.
» (Personally, I think you could take him.)
» She could always turn up. We can give her money.
» Or it could be a show about a dead lawyer who returns to earth in the body of a skinny supermodel. Like Drop Dead Diva in reverse.

» Well if there were one time to let it get to you, I'd say you picked the right one.
» I don't need to sue you, Tony.
» I haven't approached her with the idea yet, so T-shirts might be a bit ahead of the curve.
» Although I have always thought a good presentation sells itself.
» Seriously.
» Did it not show up on your google alerts?
» I was sure I commented on how the name was a ridiculous disaster so it would.
» Iron Maiden would have been a good one too.
» Or some sort of other metal. I could be Bronze Bombshell or something.
» Which Sherlock? The one who looks like you? Or the new one?
» I don't think I could take Cumberbatch.
» It would only be worth it if he still wore the brightly colored shirts and ties.

» I think it was a good call.
» Good. It probably wouldn't be worth your while yet.
» I think you should go for it. The presentation just wouldn't be the same without at least like, a mock-up of the shirt design.
» You know, it didn't show up.
» Did the article actually say "Tony Stark"? Or did it just say "Iron Man"?
» Because I don't have "Iron Man Ridiculous Disaster" yet. I should probably set that up.
» Right? I like Iron Maiden. If I were a lady, that's what I like to think I would have gone with. ~~Although apparently, I went with--~~
» Bronze Bombshell's pretty good, too, actually.
» Golden Girl? Silver... Smackdown? ~~Titanium Tits?~~ Sounds like we're starting a roller derby team. I don't know.
» Neither, the one that looks like the one that married Angelina Jolie.
» I'm sure he would. His reincarnation wouldn't magically give him taste. I think he's safe.

» I'll have my people contact her people
» Tony Stark came up in the comments.
» "Iron Man Blaze of Glory" usually covers the other bases.
» Iron Maiden could get a little weird though.
» Golden Girl makes me sound like Iron Grandma.
» I'm sticking with Rescue.
» We're in the right building for a roller derby team.
» Carol Danvers, ~~Jessica Jones~~, the Silk Spectre, maybe Storm or one of the Powerpuff Girls...
» You know, I never thought I'd worry for the safety of roller derby women.
» Well. He seems more capable than the one that looks like you who... likes brunch is what I've gathered?

» You have people?
» Huh, I don't know. I'll took a look at it when I get home. Must be a problem with the filter.
» If you insist. I guess Rescue works for you.
» Although I maintain that "Rescue to the Rescue" is just confusing.
» We really are. And I would sponsor that team so fast.
» What would be the team name?
» Well.. they've got health insurance, right?
» From what I've gathered, his interests seem to be brunch, cocaine, and Jude Law(s).

» Well, no, but I could have people.
» I guess I am the people.
» Well I'm not jumping into the suit and saying "Rescue to the Rescue."
» What do I look like, some comic book character?
» That really would be something to watch.
» I think they like names that are violent and alliterative.
» I suppose so though. Dental insurance is iffier.
» Minus the cocaine, I think those are everyone's interests.

» That's probably close enough, right?
» You can borrow Rory, if you need to.
» His wife has red hair. I'm sure he's been trained to follow commands from all members of your gingery tribe.
» Aren't you? Seems like a wasted opportunity to me.
» You would if you'd let me get you that leather catsuit. I'm just saying.
» Right? And once Breaking Bad ends, we're going to need something to fill the void.
» I feel like there's an Avengers pun name to be made, but I'm not sure if I want to be the one to make it.
» Mouth guards? Gold teeth?
» Except Sienna Miller, who is apparently all kinds of done with him.

» I'd say so.
» Oh, someone told you about our widespread social control plot?
» No, it seems a bit silly.
» I'd hate to be confused for Natasha in a catsuit.
» Oooh there is.
» After Breaking Bad ends, we're going to need a grief counsellor.
» Which I suppose may be a little overstating things.
» Speaking of, do you want me to record Sunday's episode and wait a day or will you be getting it in flight?
» She also agreed to that GI Joe movie.
» So we're alright questioning her decision-making skills.

» Not exactly. I've long since suspected. But now that you have finally revealed your secrets to me, I will be immune to your devious, gingery ways.
» I mean, right up until one of you smiles at me. Then I'm pretty much screwed.
» I think you'd make do. We can do yours in a different color. The place I went to yesterday has a very extensive collection of different leathers.
» I'll think on it, see what I've got.
» Do you think the tower already has some of those? Grief counselors? We've got pretty much everything else.
» Record it and wait! You know, if you can stand it. In-flight internet is terrible for video streaming, and they always yell at me about how I'll take the plane down when I bring my own.
» Fair point.
» God, I still can't believe they made a GI Joe movie. The guy from Doctor Who was in it, too, wasn't he?

» I could reboot you.
» Actually, scratch that, I'm not to the joking over that stage yet.
» ~~Do I ever~~
» Are you trying to say you want to see me in a leather catsuit, Tony Stark?
» If it were to get a therapist here, it'd probably be Hannibal Lecter
» And that just seems like a bad plan all around.
» I'll record it and wait. Unless your flight's unduly delayed.
» Two actually.
» One of them might be in the time frame you don't remember.
» So I'd say go back to forgetting it.

» Sorry. I promise that you will probably not have to reboot me again here.
» Although I'm obviously not so confident that I think we should destroy the drive.
» I mean, let's not be hasty.
» You know... I should probably back up again. In case I get sent home and come back.
» I mean, I certainly wouldn't be opposed.
» If the flight is unduly delayed, I won't be able to hold it against you. But don't delete it off the TiVo. That I won't understand.
» Well, Hannibal Lecter seemed like a really great therapist...
» Except to Will Graham.
» God help Will Graham.
» I'll do my best, but now that you've reminded me of it, I'm not sure I can.

» Not really, but I've never let that stop me before.
» From doing things, generally. Not backing up my hard drive specifically. Which... clearly I did not do enough.
» I'm aware that it may be a problem I have. We're looking into it. Software updates may become available.
» Thank you.
» It's pretty good. NBC Hannibal.
» I mean, I'm not sure that your spoiler theory is entirely accurate, because it basically follows a magical, mysterious, non-canon continuity that has very little to do with the books it's allegedly based on.
» But if you don't mind adaptations that dance on the graves of the original, it's pretty good.
