Just a reminder that you can take all the time you need to deal with any ghoul-related issues or injuries.

[ Pepper's looking down as she walks and texts, so she almost misses the tall, decaying man who steps out in front of her. ]

Miss Pottsss...

[ She freezes midstep, long enough to look up, see Obadiah Stane, then trade her device for something else in her purse: the lighter and can of aerosol hairspray she's been carrying around ever since the deities mentioned the ghouls could be taken out by fire. ]

Oh no you don't. [ She lets rip with the makeshift flamethrower and Stane goes up in flames. Dusting herself off, she pulls her device back out and continues her text. ]

I would personally suggest either carrying some kind of weapon on you at all times, or travelling in the company of someone who does. I usually would not condone or support the use of weapons, but desperate times call for, well, you know.

Stay safe everyone,

Pepper Potts, CEO

Don't use fire. They multiply.

[Of all the people to go against using fire.]

[threeolives]

You've got to be kidding me. I thought fire worked.

Re: audio:

[charring]

Briefly.

Taking their head off works quite permanently.

[threeolives]

Damn, I left my broadsword in my other purse. [ Sarcastic. ]

Re: audio:

[charring]

[Charlie teases her in return, knowing full well that Pepper is being sarcastic.] I have a few here.

[threeolives]

I forgot, you live with historical figures, don't you? I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to use one even if I had one in my hands.

Tell me you haven't left the building.

[JARVIS may or may not have already answered that for him.]

[threeolives]

No, I'm still here.

[hulkbusted]

That's good. I'm getting tired of patching up people who should know better.

[threeolives]

Your paramedic services in high demand lately?

[hulkbusted]

Is that really a surprise?

[Bobby's typing is pretty clumsy, partially because she's not used to it and partially because she's still recovering from a ghoul bite of her own.]

What do you mean the right person, sweetheart?

[horseish]

[This is too much work, switching to the phone setting now.]

Sometimes someone can hurt one of them and it doesn't do anything.

[threeolives]

You think it has to be the person they came here for?

[horseish]

That is my theory yes.

[He had been sitting in a tree, eating Cadbury cream eggs when he saw Pepper obliterate a ghoul with a a can of hairspray and a lighter. Serrure's just going to half jump, half fall out of the tree.]

That.

Was seriously.

The coolest thing ever.

[Action]

[threeolives]

Serrure! Are you alright? [ You just fell out of a tree, let's address that first. ]

[Action]

[doeswhathewants]

Are you alright? You just obliterated a ghoul. Black Widow would envy your skills.

[He's a half giant, no tree shall best him.]

And also vaguely frightening, all things considered.

[Action]

[threeolives]

I'd be better if I hadn't just found out that apparently fire isn't as fatal as I thought it was. [ She glares at her device as though it's at fault. ]

Are you staying safe?

[Action]

[doeswhathewants]

Never believe anything that calls itself a deity. [Hahah.]

Might I suggest a board with a nail through it? I am told those are effective weapons.

[A grin.] Yes. Thorrible- I've named my ghoul- is easily led astray by strategically placed poptarts.

[candothat]

You are very capable! How did you construct your weapon?

audio;

[threeolives]

Thank you! Just a few household supplies I had lying around. Though apparently fire isn't the way to deal with them. Wish I'd found that out before now.

audio;

[candothat]

Everyone wishes the same, I'm sure, and you will find another way.

[threeolives]

The advantages of having City Solutions labs at my disposal, I guess.
