In Which Things Are Discussed
Avengers Chat:
4:20 pm, July 27, 2024:
Tony Stank: What's Chronicom tech? What are Chronicoms? Some kind of enhanced human? Everything unusual is some form of enhanced humans these days...
Android That Used To Be Human But Isn't Anymore: You're incorrect, but I don't want you learning exactly how you're incorrect
Skyenet: Oh, come on, Coulson, how bad can it be?
The Mother***ing Cavalry And Proud of It Since the 1980s: Daisy... you know how bad things can get
FitzSIMMONS: Yeah, Daisy, tempting fate is a very bad idea
FITZsimmons: Assume that Murphy's law has a higher chance of happening if you outright challenge it
Skyenet: Okay. I get your point, sheesh. Don't tell Stark about the Chronicoms. Also, Simmons, the phrase "tempting fate" is remarkably unscientific
FitzSIMMONS: It's a figure of speech. I wasn't implying that fate actually existed... Actually, considering everything we've seen, I wouldn't actually be that surprised if it did. Is there a Norse deity in charge of fate? Hey, Thor, is there an Asgardian in charge of fate?
Skyenet: Loki can answer that too
Bird #1: Is having Loki answer anything a great idea? Can we trust anything Loki says? He is known as the Father of Lies
Skyenet: *rolls eyes* So's Herodotus. Seriously, titles don't mean everything
The Mother***ing Cavalry And Proud of It Since the 1980s: If they did, Daisy would be very annoyed, I think
Bird #1: Over what?
Black Widow #2: I sense tea
Nat: Sis... tea? Who taught you American slang like tea?
Black Widow #2: I have been private messaging Stark for advice on assimilating into American culture. I must blend in when I visit in order to keep the press off of my back
Popsicle: That's... actually a logical plan. I completely should've thought of that
Tony Stank: Bucky... Bucky... Bucky... it's not that simple for you. You were already infamous before your association with Cap came to light - as the Winter Soldier. As yourself, you were pretty famous because of your Cap-related exploits. There would've been no way for you to blend into the general crowd
Popsicle: Stevie can blend into the crowd by merely wearing a fake beard or even just a hat. Americans aren't that intelligent
Tony Stank: What the... what on Earth? People fell for that trick? That's ridiculous!
Capsicle: It worked, anyway. I wonder if the general population of the United States has gotten stupider since the 1940s?
The Best Man Out Of Time: I haven't seen anything that would indicate that, but, then, I've also been hanging around SHIELD people pretty much exclusively... not that that's a bad thing
Tony Stank: Are the SHIELD people still annoying a**holes that know way more than the average person does and refuse to share it with you these days
Nat: Tony... you've been in a group chat with them for days already? And they can see this group chat! Be a little more sensitive in what you say!
Asgardian: Loki's the one you want to ask about the fate thing
Mischief: Since my oaf of a brother already brought it up, I might as well answer this. Asgardians believe that three deities rule over fate, but no one has actually met them. They're called the Norns. However, fate can be somewhat manipulated, and there is clearly something being manipulated. So, yes, fate exists. No Asgardian dominates all of it, though. It also seems as if most beings do have free will in addition to the will of fate, if fate is even sentient
Tony Stank: Wall of text much?
Capsicle: Oh, shut up. People wanted to know
Mischief: Thank you, Paragon of Moral Rightness
Tony Stank: Oh, that's too good. Display name changed! And well I'm at it
Tony Stank has changed Capsicle's display name to Paragon of Moral Rightness
Tony Stank has changed The Best Man Out Of Time's display name to A Dude Out Of Time
Skyenet has revoked admin privileges from Tony Stank
Tony Stank: What? Why?
Skyenet has changed A Dude Out Of Time's display name to Square
Square: Really, Daisy?
Skyenet: Yes. Also, Stark, because nobody trusts you with admin privileges. Well, no person in their right mind does, anyway
Pepperoni: Also, love, this is karma for skipping all of those SI meetings
Hulk: Tony's never been one for management. That's why Pepper does that work so Tony can work on his ideas (*cough, cough* Iron Man suits *cough, cough*) all day. I think Tony must have once made a resolution to never sleep for a normal amount of time
Pepperoni: If he did, that would explain a lot
Android That Used To Be Human But Isn't Anymore: He does seem to take his resolutions very seriously
Pepperoni: You're still not off the hook for not telling me about your resurrection, Coulson
Android That Used To Be Human But Isn't Anymore: We can catch up later...
Pepperoni: Alright. Most of the Avengers should be there... except probably Tony, who will be holed up in his lab
Pepperoni has left the chat
Mischief: Also, titles actually do have power, Ms. Johnson. You of all people should know that
Skyenet: What's that supposed to mean?
Mischief: Perhaps this should be discussed on a private chat, where the somewhat paranoid Avengers can't hear
Capsicle: I'm not paranoid!
Skyenet: Fine, but only as long as my SHIELD companions can join me, if they're willing
FitzSIMMONS: Sounds interesting
Android That Used To Be Human But Isn't Anymore: I don't trust Loki
The Mother***ing Cavalry And Proud of It Since the 1980s: Neither do I
Energy: I'm on the same ship as you, and this sounds more interesting than our current path through literally empty space
Mischief: Where are you?
Skyenet: Someone in between the Milky Way and Andromeda. Not in any of the dwarf galaxies, though
Energy: I don't think that we're even in a galaxy at all right now, honestly
Tony Stank: All of this sounds like fascinating information... it also implies that you have FTL travel. It implies that SHIELD has FTL travel
Android That Used To Be Human But Isn't Anymore: We do
Tony Stank: And you didn't bother to tell me?
Nat: Wait, SHIELD has FTL? Can the Avengers use it? I want to explore the galaxy. Maybe help out some other civilizations that aren't from Earth...
Tony Stank: Help out? Think of the profit we could earn from exporting ideas to primitive civilizations...
Skyenet: Note to self: never let Stark get ahold of our time travel technology. He's one of those "Time Travel For Fun and Profit" types
Tony Stank: I would also spread the glorious ideals of America!
