You should look at our dumbass smiling faces on the pictures that're no doubt on your phone and I'm sure that's marginally better than an angry Captain America.

Or it might at least soothe the ache.

'cause last night was awesome.

bless you for moving this thread

[magless]

Okay I'm changing the ones where you have a bunch of mini-flamingos shoved up your nose as your contact picture.

I won't argue that but what are we going to do about the army of lawn ornaments?

anything for the moronic duo

[tictacs]

Re-shrink them?

I AM good at shrinking things.

what a great and apt title for them

[magless]

You know, shrinking something isn't the answer to everything. But it's better than leaving them out on the compound's lawn.

[tictacs]

We shrink them and then we gather them all in our hands and boom, easy clean up.

Shrinking is a good answer to everything, Sam. What're you even talking about.

[magless]

You know what they say when you have a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail? I feel like we're at that point.

[tictacs]

If you're insinuating I'll accidentally shrink something else I am not offended at all because yeah I tried getting up and then slowly laid back down again.

Damn it.

[magless]

Is there any way you can have your bees airlift us some water and aspirin? Tell me that is a thing you've been working on.

[tictacs]

Not if you're calling them bees.

[magless]

Have mercy on me, tictac. You're lucky I still remember what you're called at this point.

[tictacs]

So what am I called?

And how much aspirin does your weak ass need?

[magless]

Tiny pain in my ass. Shrink guy. Birdsuit wrecker.

Three, and I'll ask you hold the sass bee man.

@firingsquad

[tictacs]

Yeah but it's not like you're six feet under.

( yet? scott's hopeful, at least, even when no-one else is. )

Living to do... what you do is still living, man.

thanks!

[firingsquad]

You don't know what I do.

[Scott might not call it living if he knew more about Frank and his work.]

If the only thing that makes a man feel alive is killing, is that living?

tfln has led to such a dark topic

[tictacs]

Sure it is.

( scott might not be aware of the details or the circumstances, but he can't say anything about unorthodox ways of living any more than the next guy. )

There are people out there who can't even leave their houses and all "living" is to them is peeping through binoculars and writing the things they see down.

I don't know, man. Do you regret it?

lol i know i'm so sorry

[firingsquad]

[Scott might have a point. The way Frank sees it, he's living like a runaway train, and he'll keep going until someday, someone actually manages to stop him.]

No, I don't regret it. I do what needs doin'.

What about you? Anything make you feel alive?

i love it :'|

[tictacs]

Two things. Stealing and my little girl.

( but he decides not to elaborate. it might be a sore subject. )

Hey, you got a place to stay tonight?

yay :D

[firingsquad]

[That's an interesting combination. The crazy thing is, he can actually relate.]

Stay? No.

[He can't possibly be offering after what Frank just said, can he?]

[tictacs]

Cool.

I got a crazy old guy funding a shitty flat while I'm here in good old Hell's Kitchen and made too much spaghetti for dinner.

( you know, the whole "cooking for four" scenario that comes with usual roommates. )

Like spaghetti?

[firingsquad]

[There's a long pause.]

I just told you I kill people, and you're inviting me to your home to have spaghetti with you and your little girl? Are you out of your goddamn mind?

[Given that it's Hell's Kitchen, that's quite possible.]

[tictacs]

First of all, Cassie's in San Francisco, dork.

Second of all, you only kill people who kill the innocent, right?

Third of all, I might be out of my mind, but what do you expect from a guy who went into the quantum realm?

You still haven't answered the spaghetti question.

[firingsquad]

[Okay, so this guy does know a bit about him. Maybe it's not a death trap waiting for him. And Scott must be the only person ballsy or stupid enough to call The Punisher a dork.]

Yeah, I like spaghetti.

[So he'll be on the way.]

[tictacs]

Awesome. I'll get you a pair of pyjamas.

( and it's not really any of scott's business what frank does with his life, but no-one believes in chances like scott believes in chances. which will kill him one day. probably. )

switch to action?

[firingsquad]

[Pajamas? What has Frank gotten himself in to? Well, a free dinner is a free dinner and a night out of a motel would be nice. He goes to the address once he gets it and finds the place easily enough. He knows Hell's Kitchen like the back of his hand.

Once there, he knocks and waits, baseball cap, bruises and all. Hopefully Scott won't be alarmed by the recovering black eye and purple cheek he's sporting.]
