The Perk- Tuesday morning

Kitty was having one of those days where all she could think about was getting a caramel mocha from the Perk, and finally she gave in and went to get it.

Only to find out that there was no caramel there today. In fact, there was mention of a caramel strike. Which Kitty didn't even understand and it might just ruin her whole day.

She had a regular mocha, but it wasn't the same.

[Im having a decent day at work and desperately need to take advantage of it, open!]

Well, clearly she needed to drink black coffee instead and save herself the trouble.

"Mrs. Barton." STILL WEIRD.
throughaphase: (eyebrow raise)

"Oh, that's still weird," Kitty said. She still hadn't gotten much of that. "So, so weird."
imafuturist: (so smirky)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'd stick with just Barton, but too many people I know answer to it."
throughaphase: (saying words)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"And they're probably all different versions of the same guy?" she guessed.
imafuturist: (trying to look innocent)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's almost like you know how strange our worlds are."
throughaphase: (look over)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"I've got a tiny bit of experience there," Kitty admitted. "So how've you been?"
imafuturist: (so smirky)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not in my fifties anymore," Tony replied brightly. "So, that's nice."
throughaphase: (ooh?)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"I heard that was a thing!" Kitty said. "Did you have anything cool going on?"
imafuturist: (I thought it went well!)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"I only remember parts," Tony admitted. Mostly tension with Steve and the distinct memory of AA. Which was just making his whole week. "Had JARVIS delete any footage. Wouldn't want to mess up the timeline."
throughaphase: (neutral listening)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Really? I'm not sure that would have helped in my world. But timelines are kind of a mess there."

Uuuuuuunderstatement.
imafuturist: (drinking)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think it'd depend on if you believe time is set or not," Tony replied, taking a sip of his coffee. "Which make people like Kang a whole new can of worms."
throughaphase: (talk to me)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"That one hurts my head," Kitty and her player said. "I know a good amount of time travelers. It gets messy every time. I am severely understating it."
imafuturist: (with pepper)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, his Kang was dead set on killing Steve Rogers. If he'd just arrived about a year later, he wouldn't have even needed to lift a finger. Which was funny. Sad, but funny.

"And that is why I'll build a future rather than need to know it."
throughaphase: (head turned profile)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Its not all bad, though," Kitty mused. "Knowing what things you want to avoid and what you don't."
imafuturist: (I thought it went well!)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Or we create larger messes as we try to avoid things," Tony replied. "Butterfly effect."

And not the terrible movie version.
throughaphase: (lounging)

"Mm. My best friend tried to stop a dystopia from happening by coming back in time and ended up in the wrong timeline, one where she'll never exist," she explained. "Still, I like optimism."
imafuturist: (feeling alone)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm optimistic," Tony replied. "I just have a healthy respect for how much humanity can mess up."
throughaphase: (okay well)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"As you should. It's an election year," Kitty nodded.
imafuturist: (well that sucks)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't remind me," Tony replied, making a face. "Some people where I'm from are certain Norman Osborn is born to be a voice of the people."
throughaphase: (do not want)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Which works if those people are psychos," Kitty said, shuddering.
imafuturist: (but i'm tony stark)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, Fox News."
throughaphase: (um!)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I just had the horrifying thought that Osborn and Trump would probably turn out the same way as president and I'm not going to sleep tonight," Kitty realized.

"Now try deciding who is pretending to be the other in a rubber mask," Tony said. Because he was super helpful.
throughaphase: (only slightly worried)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'd really rather not," she said, making a face.
imafuturist: (let me explain this science)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"I need to text that to my Barton and ruin his day," Tony decided. Because their relationship was based on annoyance.
throughaphase: (hmm)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"My first thought was 'aww, don't do that to him.' Is that bad?" Kitty asked.
imafuturist: (talking at you)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hardship builds character," Tony said, already sending the message to Barton's newest burner phone. Extremis was awesome for mental texting.
throughaphase: (slightly headtilty)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Never tell Kitty about mental texting. Oh, the fights she'd start if she had that.

"Does he know about what this Clint gets up to?" she wondered.

"I've mentioned a few things to him." While Clint made confused faces.
throughaphase: (in all seriousness)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"So, the stuff that'll make him twitch?" Just a guess.

"He'd do the same for me," Tony assured her. "He's... younger than the one here. And I honestly assumed he'd end up living with Hulk, surrounded by pizza boxes and old Chinese takeout containers. Not married."
throughaphase: (i mean...)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2016-06-02 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm pretty sure he was married in my world," Kitty said, though that was always weird to think about. "I assume still with the old pizza boxes, though. I'm sure it'd be that way here if I wasn't around."
imafuturist: (talking at you)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-02 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, it's good to see some things are the same."
