[stupidcupid]

That's my guess.

[biggerstick]

I heard about it. I'm doing my best to stay indoors.

[stupidcupid]

I don't normally get cornered on the roof.

[biggerstick]

It wasn't the same last year?

[stupidcupid]

I'm not sure. There are creatures that appear on Halloween called Boggarts. Manifestations of people's fears, but the reports are varied.

We don't know where they come from or how they find us.

[biggerstick]

... I'm guessing the explanation for everything is "camp is a dick."

[stupidcupid]

No, that's the reason.

[biggerstick]

I don't feel like facing creepy fantasy book monsters.

[stupidcupid]

Oh, sure, like I enjoy it.

[biggerstick]

Do you think I'll get a Loki too if I wish really hard?

[stupidcupid]

That's not funny.

[biggerstick]

I've wanted to shoot him forever.

[stupidcupid]

[inhales, sharp]

Not everything is about you, Tony. Are we done here?

[biggerstick]

Are you afraid of Loki or of what he did to you? 'cause there's a key difference between those two.

[stupidcupid]

Scared of Loki? I have enough information on Loki to make his life very difficult here if I needed to. So, no, I'm not scared of Loki.

[biggerstick]

So it's the mind-control. That's what got to you?

[stupidcupid]

... He had me cornered. I was ready to jump off the roof it came to that.

[biggerstick]

We'd get you back.

[and he says it casually but there is absolute conviction behind it]

Not that it would happen, but we'd get you back if it did.

[stupidcupid]

There might not be anything for you to get back.

[biggerstick]

...

You're getting top floor.

[stupidcupid]

This is really not the time to be hitting on me, Tony.

[biggerstick]

Please, like I'd let anyone on top of me. I'm talking about the tower— which is not, before you go there, a nickname for my penis.

[stupidcupid]

Okay, I'll bite. What's the tower got to do with anything?

[biggerstick]

I'm rebuilding it. You're getting— not top floor, actually. That's Thor's because of the whole flying in thing, you get the next one.

[stupidcupid]

And here I thought you don't like to bottom.
