[ironmanic]

If you close your eyes, you don't notice the screams of a thousand delicate secrets shattering over the flavorless chalk the gods decided to feed us today.

I feel like I'm in Wal-Mart. Or Target. Or anywhere else that capitalizes on every single holiday created by the western world. Can we expect leprechauns next month? Miserable employees in red shirts and khakis forced to wish us a happy Mother's Day?

But I digress.

[The sound of munching]

These things and candy corn are addictive as hell.

[munch munch munch]

If magical lightning boy would please step forward. I need to talk to you about your grades young man.

[ooc | Got Billy Kaplan's UNREGISTERED candy. Hello Civil War aka The Divorce!]

[team_sociopath]

Candy corn's way better.

[Ok, maybe only creeping on you because Magical Lightning Boy sounds relevant to his interests.]

[inmyothertights]

Could you not call me that.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[That... doesn't sound right. Not based on the conversations they've had, and while Harry knows that's not a lot, he likes to at least think they're sort of friends.]

Keep eaten 'em like that you're gonna feel more poetic about different things I think.

[ironmanic]

Completely agreed - the lack of chalkiness helps, I would imagine.

[ironmanic]

I think I should get to call you what I want after you electrocuted me-- but that's not what I'm summoning you for.

[inmyothertights]

I don't even let my twin call me stuff like that.

[Oh jeez.]

Oh, jeez. Does this mean you want me to come see you?

[ironmanic]

Not unless the gods spiked the hearts with their strongest.

[ironmanic]

Didn't anyone ever tell you to respect your elders?

And not to talk back. Question back.

[inmyothertights]

My bubbe. Do you want me to compare you to my bubbe?

[ironmanic]

Just get your ass over here.

[inmyothertights]

[Smell that crackling ozone smell? For once it's not because of you, Tony. There's a blue light and then Billy is standing wherever you are. Hopefully Dummy doesn't try to extinguish him]

What, what, what's the emergency?

[captainfuckingmagic]

No, I think that was actually what I meant. It's hard to tell with all the prose though. You got some of that weird shit going around today?

Tony... [ Her voice sounds choked, like she's been crying. ]

[warmachine]

I'm coming by to take all the candy away from you. You're bad enough without a sugar high.

[ironmanic]

You need to stop doing that. Some people are prone of heart attacks you know- not me, of course. But some people.

[Dummy is whirring happily in another corner, being Dummy]

Anyway, take a seat.

[ironmanic]

I only caught a few - most of 'em were duds. A good thing because I've been eating these by the handful.

Voice

[ironmanic]

...Pepper?

[He cannot. Handle. Crying.]

[ironmanic]

I'm not sugar high.

Yet.

Voice

[threeolives]

[ And she's trying to hold it together, but her speech is strained. ]

There was... candy, on the counter. I ate... I saw the, cave, and...

Oh Tony, you never said.

[inmyothertights]

You told me to come over!

[Pout, but sitting]

Voice

[ironmanic]

[He's silent. For once.]

It's passed. And thinking about it is, quite admittedly, depressing.

[ironmanic]

Call me conservative, but I was expecting something a little more traditional. Like knocking.

[Tony sits in front of his giant computer just because it makes him feel like a boss. And Tony likes feeling like a boss even if running an actual company is boring.]

I got one of yours. Care to guess which?

[inmyothertights]

[Billy sits up from his slouchy slouch]

Is it the time I accidentally electrocuted a bully? Because I swear that was an accident and you probably did a lot worse.

[Billy feels like saying also you're not my dad.]

[ironmanic]

No - I approve of that, actually. Electrocuting people who aren't me, I mean.

[He gestures vaguely]

A word like UNREGISTERED. You'd think it'd just mean you haven't registered for your next semester yet.

[inmyothertights]

[Billy slumps again.

And his brow furrows]

Oh.
