[Mingle]

[randomly_modding]

[So you're in the studio and the camera crew has instructed your characters to break into your teams to discuss 1) the client's personal fashion comfort zone and preferences, and 2) how to give them the Stylecation makeover they obviously need, while 3) working in the episode theme of "animal".]

[Or that's what you're supposed to be talking about, to obey the host.]

[Please don't mind the cameras focused on you at all times, even following you to the snack table to grab coffee and danishes and donuts. But feel free to crash one of the other team mingles!]

Oh. [it's things like this that make her job so hard. for a while, she was good at ignoring it, but as the years had gone by, her resolve had started to erode]

[trying her best (sorry, Cassie, as Effie's best is...a bit odd)] Well... I'm sure he's proud of you. And watching. And cheering you on!

[at least the odds are good that you won't die on this show??]

[inflorescere]

Is that so? [Mutual ping go! She raises an eyebrow, drinks more coffee before explaining.]

I do see each site myself whenever possible. As much as a proper book of information helps... There's something important I want to find.

[inflorescere]

Avoiding them is proving surprisingly difficult.

[Even for her, trying to block the equipment from seeing her doesn't seem to be working. Probably doesn't help that she doesn't recognize half the machines compared to the common technology where she's from.]

[sizing]

[Don't jinx them! Cassie does sort of realize she's just trying to help at least. Her shoulders drop a little.]

Do you think there are really people watching us...? [She wonders aloud, honestly not sure. Also maybe talking about Scott hurts too much to focus on just then.]

[waytobreakithero]

[ She does start laughing, and gives the girl a pat on the arm. ]

My loss, then. [ Completely good-natured, though out of the corner of her eye, she sees a pair of the whoever-the-hell-they-are engaged in a furious bit of gossip and pointing. She doesn't understand the impetus, but they make the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. ]

I just meant... [ Try to ignore them. ] That you're pretty.

[ijustlovethat]

Oh, yes. Well, maybe not right now, except for the camera crew. But they will once it airs! [is her evident excitement distraction enough?

[promisebreaker]

Oh...uhm...yeah. [ now he just seems awkward at having been caught trying to be a wallflower. ] this...this just sort of isn't really--really my deal. You know?

[cleanedslate]

Being on TV and not being recognized might bother me. [ sweetly ] I don't know how my ego's gonna cope.

[cleanedslate]

It's definitely on the top of my list. [ yet he doesn't seem concerned. ]

[antiapocalypse]

Hey, I'm in front of cameras. It counts! [ she waves into one cheerfully ]

Call it optimism. [ turning a smile on Peter ] I like to try it sometimes.

[antiapocalypse]

I think they like to pretend it's all very real. [ sweet smile at the camera. then she visibly goes oh and frowns at Allen ]

It's called reality TV. ...Do you know what TV is?

[justpicksomething]

I was all ready to go! Totally ready. [ he turns on Sif, and then visibly enjoys the view for a moment before finding her eyes again ] It would've been like a vacation. I deserve a vacation, after everything I've been through!

[ She looks familiar-- Sif! It's Sif. Thor's girlfriend~ ]

Hey, we have to keep a lid on that, you guys. [ he turns away from Sif a little as he addresses the air ] I mean, awwwwwk-ward.

[buymorelifer]

[ Laughs, a little self-consciously. ]

I don't know, I think you'll manage. [ Because, you're Tony Stark, duh. ]

[cleanedslate]

Good enough.

[ he makes a fist and slaps it into his palm, thinking of the best way to say it, and then instead of using those words he uses these: ]

It's this thing where you suck, so a bunch of people get together and make you into a better person.

[neverforgets]

That's for sure... [ Dubious look at those people, too. ]

So this happens a lot in the future. Guess I won't understand if I've never seen tee-vee. [ Scratches his nose. ] Always been glory hounds, but it's kind of weird to have it be manufactured like this.

[neverforgets]

[ Oh hi, Tony. Good to see you.

Sips at his... fifth cup of coffee so far. ]

Last time, least if we didn't do it, we'd be hungry and dehydrated. [ Someone doesn't know about the volcano. ] But this.... [ Shruuuug. ] Seems pretty pointless.

[neverforgets]

[ Nods along with her explanation, grinning. ]

Much as I love books, no substitute for being there if you can. What're you looking for?

[neverforgets]

[ Pffffff! Whistles again. ]

Kinda wish I could see it.

[ Looking at the picture again. ]

Probably pretty scary though, right?

[justpicksomething]

[ Maniac? Where?! He means us. Obviously. ]

That's not very nice.

[ look at his sulky face ]

I'm not a maniac. I'm just dangerously insane!

[criminalmastermind]

[Simon stares at Deadpool again before deciding against addressing him directly the second time.] Uh, yes. There's a maniac here, and someone should probably remove him.

And bring him a dictionary.

[buymorelifer]

[ It's easier to laugh at that. ]

Same here. I've worn a tuxedo once, I think.

[ Lucina's team, right! ]

I'm the judge for Sif's. Though I don't really know what I'm doing.

[waytobreakithero]

[ It's probably good she doesn't see the grinning people. So she just offers a wry smile of her own. ]

Are congratulations in order? Or condolences?

[cleanedslate]

Oh, him? He's not my monkey. He just followed me home from school.

[antiapocalypse]

...No. Definitely not. I mean, that'd look good on you! But I think we can keep it... quieter.

[justpicksomething]

...Huh. What are you supposed to say when they say no? I can never remember the rest of the joke.

[ It's not a joke! It's a pickup line! A very unsuccessful one, just at the moment. Compliment her shoes. ]

Hey! I like your shoes. They're boss. [ he said, without looking down at them ]

[ Nice recovery. ]
