011 :: Video

[hulkbusted]

[The video feed opens to the network after Bruce has already situated the camera to his satisfaction. His lab is as brightly lit and gleaming as one might expect. What one might not expect is the Christmas display in the center of the camera's optical field.

It's a tree built of various glassware and equipment from his lab, colored water (yes, just water) providing the festive component in the clear glassware.]

We did this when I was an undergrad. Don't ask how long ago that was. As long as you're just using nontoxic colors and water, it's pretty eco friendly.

I guess I wanted to put my own spin on things. I know the City's been treating us to every-other-day 12 Days of Christmas-themed treats, but it's been a while since I was settled enough to do something myself.

So happy holidays. I hope that those of us who want to go home, find our way home soon, and for those of you who are happy here, I hope the curses are more kind than cruel.

At least half that shit sounded like it was already converted into ringtones to begin with. I'm pretty sure the 80s were a bad time for most people.

You had a mullet and wore a lot of flannel, didn't you? [Because from what he knows of Tony's musical tastes, he doesn't see him as a Flock of Seagulls fan.]

adksjaf lmao

[fe_male]

A mullet? Me? Honestly. Please. I thought we knew each other. [ Like he would admit it even if he had. ]

[hulkbusted]

To be fair, we didn't have the kind of time to get to know each other that included sharing high school photos. I notice you didn't deny the flannel.

[And he still pictures young Tony with a mullet.]

[fe_male]

[ It's totally not defensive at all if he says ] Everybody wore flannel. [ ...right?

also no. :| Bruce he thought you were sort of almost friends. ]

[He's going to have to give one of his screens his full attention for a minute to avoid letting Tony see just how amused he is by his tone, equations flickering by under his fingers.]

Not everyone, but it's better than double popped collars and neon.

[ yeah, well ]

And I'd always thought such high collars had gone the way of the Victorian ideal, to be thoroughly mocked forever for being itchy and uncomfortable.
