Okay picture this: Bill Murray. He's made up like a zombie or whatever but who the hell cares? It's Bill fuckin' Murray and some guy who looks like a rough neck drifter Woody Boyd. Toking up. Together. Playing Ghostbusters.

With me. With motherfuckin' me.

I gotta sleep after car bombs and cereal bars again.

[It's like bread and shit in a bag that sticks out of a bicycle basket. But wait! This actually takes him by surprise.]

Bullshit. What do you need to know that shit for?

[boutant]

[ She's so proud. Both of his knowledge of carbohydrates and of herself, for surprising him. ]

Architects do build models, you know. [ There's a slight shrug. ] Besides, I had to take some electives other than art. Why not shop?

[orangetoughguy]

[There's some mild skepticism here but only because he's a dude and dudes are supposed to appear skeptical of chicks who know tools. Secretly he's kind of fascinated because Orange builds models too...not quite the ones she does though.]

Drill press? Panel saw? Sand belt? Arc welding?

[boutant]

A five-year-old could use a drill press. But yes, all of the above.

I'm usually stuck with paper and cardboard these days, though. The time crunch is too intense and materials are too expensive.

Risotto. You know, cheesy Italian rice stuff.

[duplicities]

Interesting.

[ the least impressed. ]

[orangetoughguy]

Sounds like oatmeal. Italian oatmeal.

[orangetoughguy]

I'm usually stuck with resin, glue, and paints now.

[It's kind of a lie since he's working for Tony Stark too but but but....he just wants to talk about his model kits.]

[orangetoughguy]

You gotta keep a lid on that jealousy thing.

[boutant]

For fixing cars?

[ That's obviously not the case, but she'll let him share. ]

[orangetoughguy]

No man for putting models together. I got resin kits.

[So proud.] I can do legos too.

[ironmanic.livejournal.com]

I happen to have the convenient excuse of actually working. Otherwise, they're at home in a drawer. And by home I mean not here home. Excuses, I know, but they work out really well for me.

[duplicities]

Oh, of course.

That is why I made use of the audio feature. It wouldn't do to let anyone see me in this shade of green.

[boutant]

What sort of models?

[ Legos. Really? Well... They do work... And they're fairly inexpensive, reusable (though if he's using resin, maybe not so much), and... okay, fine, they're fun. ]

Can I see?

[orangetoughguy]

What're you puttin' together now?

[Making it sound like Tony shouldn't have to work so much, really just interested in allllllll his projects.]

audio;

[orangetoughguy]

At least you know when to man up.

[Aw listen to that laugh in his tone.]

audio;

[duplicities]

It's a gift.

[orangetoughguy]

...You've seen Ghostbusters, right?

[orangetoughguy]

Sure, I got pictures.

[Photos incoming.

LOOK AT THE SILVER SURFER ON HIS BOARD RIDING UP A COSMIC WAVE. LOOK AT HAL JORDAN WITH HIS ARCH NEMESIS SINESTRO. LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKING LEGO X-WING. AND LOOK AT FREDDIE FUCKING MERCURY.]

[boutant]

[ She's... actually pretty impressed. Orange is clearly a giant nerd, but the fact that she can recognize over half of these figures isn't doing her any favors in that department, either.

And then she gets an idea. ]

How many more legos do you have?

[orangetoughguy]

A couple buckets?

[Yes. Buckets.] Why?

[boutant]

How do you feel about large-scale models? Say... a whole city?

[orangetoughguy]

Are we talkin' Metropolis or Gotham?

[boutant]

Too many explosions to keep track of. [ She saw The Dark Knight, okay. ] How about this one?

[orangetoughguy]

This place? I guess you can try the topside, I don't know anybody who's been around the underground enough to map it.
