Some day over the rainbow...

(From here)

"Don't tell me that you and your sister-in-law don't get along. What is it this time?"

[strangelyliteral]

"I just think they're both being incredibly stupid about that -- the girl. The daughter that might not be. I'm just glad that we'll never have a situation like that on our hands."

Re: [8/4]

[complicatedliar]

I count on it. [She'll probably skunk him. That's fine. Maybe it will put her in a better mood.]

[originaljackass]

"Did your brother just stick it to any woman that would let him? I'm surprised more of this town doesn't have Stark as a last name."

[strangelyliteral]

Good. [The game probably wouldn't appease Anya, but it was a good way to work off the frustrated energy. She waits for him to take his place on the other side of the net, and moves to her own, waiting to serve.]

handwave playing because I know nothing of tennis?

[complicatedliar]

[Loki takes his side with an air of fatalistic amusement.]

Do your worst.

lol yep

[strangelyliteral]

[And after a few rounds...]

You're hardly putting up a fair fight, you know.

Day 5

[strangelyliteral]

Let me get this straight. You're ... offering to help?

[Anya knew she was in a bind. If he left her there, it might be even longer before real help arrived. She could be mugged or worse by then, given the general unrest of this portion of the population.

Not a great day to go down and visit her daughter, in hindsight.]

Holy snapples, I meant to reply to your PM and then I failed "orz I'm so sorry!

[universal_charm]

Well, you need to ask nicely for me to help, but essentially, yes.

_{[ You weren't going to get it that easy, Anya. He wasn't going to hand it to you, like everything else in your life (such was Kirk's view on most of the aristos). He continued to lean back against his bike, arms still crossed over his chest as he waited for her to make the next move.}

To have to ask. Nicely. ]

Cars aren't too different from bikes, after all, and I know my way around engines better than most people in these parts.

np! I figured that it might have gotten lost, so decided to continue on <3

[strangelyliteral]

... You're serious?

[Ask nicely. As if he was one who had any right to make demands - she didn't know whether to laugh or to fume at him and the result is a cross between looking irked and looking confused.]

What gives you any right to - either you're going to fix it or not, don't make a show of embarrassing me because you're - [Because he was what? Just - smug and frustrating and why was Katniss doing this?]

Okay - you know what. John, can you please fix my car?

[strangelyliteral]

"I'm surprised too. Unless they're going to use this little happening as a way to come out of the woodwork. They'll be saying, 'hey look, that Kara girl was able to get a free pass with the family! We should go too!' You know, and it'll be like a big party."

She knew she had gotten the girl's name wrong, but somehow she couldn't bring herself to care. Until it was proof positive that she was her niece, her stance would remain the same.

Re: lol yep

[complicatedliar]

[He's panting and sweating, but still smiling.]

I don't want to mess up my manicure.

[originaljackass]

"Wouldn't surprise me if the woman slept with Tony once and then decided to collect her payment eighteen years later."

[strangelyliteral]

If you wear gloves when you play, you don't have to worry about that.

[strangelyliteral]

"And given Tony doesn't even seem to remember the names of the women he's dallied with over the years..."

[complicatedliar]

I'll keep that in mind next time.

Ought to help with the sweaty hands too.

[strangelyliteral]

Learn something new every time, right?

[originaljackass]

"What a fascinating new branch of income. I'll have to tell all my friends in Lowtown."

[strangelyliteral]

"Don't you dare, Jack!" Sometimes, she couldn't tell when he was joking or not. "You shouldn't even have friends in Lowtown!"

[originaljackass]

"More acquaintances than anything. And don't worry. I'm in no hurry to add more nieces and nephews to the Christmas shopping list."

[strangelyliteral]

"Thank goodness. Now we better go and have dinner before it gets cold."

[originaljackass]

"Yes, let's."

And their dinner was fantastic and far better than anything Pepper would make because they hired a good cook.

Day 1 Meeting

[crimsonblade]

You mean unlike that sprawling mansion where you and Jack live so you never have to even be in the same wing of the house if you don't want to be? Yes, it'll be a little more crowded than that, but this is a large home, Anya. Not a mansion, or a country home, or whatever you and Pepper and Tony wished I owned.

This...[She gave a vague gesture with her free hand to accompany the entire situation.] ...This is what I wanted. I had some idea of what I signed up for when I married Fayt and I have no complaints.

[complicatedliar]

One new thing every day. It creeps life interesting.

[He sighs.]

I think I've had enough humiliation for one day, though.

[strangelyliteral]

You've only just gotten married. Give it some time. Give it some time to really sink in, sister.
