~1~ Enter one brand new Faerie Queen. [Video]

[goodgrasshopper]

[Molly's been around for a little while, doing her best to try to get acclimated to the facility and mostly keeping to herself. She knows she needs to start classes soon, and she will. If she's supposed to be protecting someone, she has kind of a lot to learn. Illusions and ice magic will only go so far, and if she finds herself needing to fight, she's woefully unprepared.

But now she's starting to get curious about the other people in this facility, Sentinels and Fatemarked alike. And--well. The best way to meet people is to introduce herself.]

Hi. I'm Molly. I'm from Chicago in the early twenty-first century, I'm still unpaired, and I have to say it--I am bored out of my mind. What does everyone do for fun around here?

That was the very best you could do after inventing a pregnancy?

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

[Privacy settings. Excellent idea, Mr. Snape.

...Also some facepalming.]

I'm not pregnant. I'm just fucking with him.

[...]

[goodgrasshopper]

Yeah, it was pretty weak. But I was kind of too busy laughing to come up with something better.

But seriously? Plan a pregnancy around potential for surprise abduction? May as well end the human race right now. No one will ever be safe.

[plasthmatic]

You know that only works on ex-boyfriends, right? And even then, it has a twenty-five percent success rate?

What's your endgame here?

Private

[brewglory]

How often do abductions happen in the States?

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

...I have to admit, I have never considered doing that to an ex-boyfriend.

No real endgame. Just trolling for the sake of it.

I make my own fun.

[goodgrasshopper]

I'm not really an expert in crime statistics. But it's not that common. Mostly.

[She says as someone who has actually been kidnapped, and had more than one member of her family abducted.

Shush.]

[highprofilerichkid]

[Tony grins.] Working on the light speed thing. [...He actually is.] I'll give you first dibs on space field trips when I've cracked it.

[goodgrasshopper]

...I totally want a space field trip.

[HUGE Star Trek and Star Wars nerd here.]

[highprofilerichkid]

Me too. I want to ding-dong-ditch Thor.

[Because obviously, the first thing to do upon inventing faster-than-light travel is to annoy your nearest alien neighbors.]

[goodgrasshopper]

[Hey, she can totally get behind that.]

Where I'm from he's a god, and you probably don't want to mess with him, but if he's anywhere near Dagobah, I'm in. I want to meet Yoda.

[highprofilerichkid]

Where I'm from he's an alien who people thought was a god. [And you probably still wouldn't want to mess with him... not that that has ever stopped Tony before or will ever stop him from doing anything.]

I haven't met him yet, but I'll ask him about Dagobah when I do. I hear there's a Norwegian restaurant he likes to eat at when he's in town.

[goodgrasshopper]

I have to admit, I'm pretty curious as to how that goes, but I'm guessing you don't mean a Norwegian restaurant around here.

[highprofilerichkid]

Nah, one in New York. My New York. If Thor shows up here, I'm definitely asking him for a ride home. Do you think they have Norwegian restaurants here? I don't know if they even have a Norway.

[Since they won't let them out of the Double-F, Tony has no idea how close the aboveground world is to his Earth.]

Re: [Private]

[plasthmatic]

You kind of have to around here. Otherwise you start eating people, and we definitely don't need another spate of cannibalism.

[cisskabob]

Oh, you know. The usual. Raiding the library, drinking too much coffee, staying up past my bedtime. Being an Olympian, getting kidnapped through time and space, playing baseball to save the planet. The usual. How about you?

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

...Another.

Is this a regular problem? Not that it's a dealbreaker, but it would be nice to know.

[goodgrasshopper]

...Okay, so some of that sounds really typical, and some of it really not. I'm going to have to ask--Olympian as in a goddess from Mount Olympus, or an Olympic competitor?

Presumably in baseball.

[goodgrasshopper]

[Pause to consider.]

You know, with all of the weirdness, I didn't stop to consider that basic geography would be different. I feel like that's a serious shortcoming in pop sci-fi nerd.

That said, if they don't, that would suck, because Norway makes some pretty awesome food.

[highprofilerichkid]

I don't care what they have up there, so long as we get to see it soon. I'm already sick of being stuck down here.

[Like, he's sick of being stuck here generally, but not even being allowed to leave the Double-F adds insult to injury.]

[goodgrasshopper]

Heh. I bet. How long have you been here?

[highprofilerichkid]

A couple weeks. What about you? How long did it take to reach "terminally bored"?

[goodgrasshopper]

[snicker] A week or so. I'm used to things being a little more exciting.

[highprofilerichkid]

Yeah, I'm used to running into two or three supervillains a week. This resort bunker doesn't even have regular rival organized crime gang shootouts to keep the morning commute interesting.

[That is not a funny joke, Tony, that's terrifying]
