Loki and Skye Create Chaos
Avengers Chat:
4:35 am, July 28, 2024:
Mister Stank: Up and at it, everyone! It's time to plan pranks!
Nat: Really, Stark? It has been only five hours! The rest of us have functioning sleep schedules! GO BACK TO SLEEP!
Skyenet: It's not a problem with me. Space is magical and doesn't have time zones. This somehow means that we don't have to sleep...
Nat: That doesn't make one lick of sense
Energy: It actually does since my dear sister isn't telling the full truth... we sleep during downtime when nobody else is doing anything
Mister Stank: Oh, shame. I thought that they followed the Stark (TM) Method of Sleeping (Patent Pending)
Nat: You mean not sleeping for days on end and then collapsing to the ground during the day, sometimes even at noon? That's not even unique to u! Doctor Banner used to do that as well
Energy: Oooh, this sounds interesting... "used to?"
Nat: I taught him better habits...
Mister Stank: No! How dare u corrupt my science bro, Nat?
Nat: First of all, don't call me Nat! It's Natasha! Or Black Widow! Or Her Royal Majesty... Or The Terrifying One
Mister Stank: The Terrifying One fits u very well, but ur display name is Nat!
Nat:That doesn't matter. Respect me!
Mister Stank: Fine, Oh Terrifying One. Speaking of strange things, though, y r u awake at this hour? I thought u had a "functioning sleep schedule"?
Nat: Ur text woke me up. I'm going back to sleep
9:43 pm, July 28, 2024:
Mischief: Ah, the Stanky One was awake at a terribly early hour...
Capsicle: He always is. Just ignore it and keep your phone muted while you're asleep. That should work to keep him silenced...
Mister Stank: Ah, Capsicle! U mute me? This is hurtful!
Pepperoni: Stop being overdramatic, Tony. The good captain has a point
Former Director: Yes, he does. I wonder if there is a way to make Tony have a decent sleep schedule. I'd even accept using force to achieve this...
Mischief: I like Mister Fury's idea
Pepperoni: I doubt that your plan will work - I've tried many things to make Tony not fell asleep in his lab and actually use his bed for once, but nothing seems to work
Capsicle: It must be a Stark thing. Howard used to work instead of sleeping all the time. It got really annoying at times - like when he'd fall asleep in the cockpit of our plane while he was flying it. I wonder if it's genetic...
Former Director: I think that Cap's trying to BS us. Fortunately, we have two other men who were alive during the World War 2 Era, so we can check with them
Mister Stank: Wait, BS got past my cussing detector. Da**it? Seriously, I can't even say that. I clearly designed this thing too well...
Skyenet: That was actually one of my alterations when I hacked into the Starkphone Mainframe...
Mister Stank: U did what? When? Oh, nvm. When u locked us out of this chat, u could do whatever u wanted, I suppose
Former Director: Right. Anyway, @Popsicle and @Best Man Out Of Time, did Howard Stark ever fall asleep in the cockpit while he was flying a plane?
Popsicle: Yes, he did. That was hilarious. Those were the days...
Best Man Out Of Time: I don't remember this, but Peggy might've mentioned it. All of her "Howard Stark Is Being Stupid" stories blurred together
Former Director: Okay, so apparently the good captain wasn't BSing us
Skyenet: That discussion gave me so many good pranking ideas...
Mischief: I agree. I'm also selling pranking ideas to the highest bidder, by the way
Former Director: $500 for ur most humiliating idea!
Mister Stank: $2600 for the same.
Former Director: $5700 to get it instead of the Stanky One
Skyenet changed Mister Stank's display name to The Stanky One
Spidey: ROFL
The Stanky One: $7900 to outbid Fury!
Nat: $11,643 for the most humiliating idea instead of either Fury or the Stanky One
The Stanky One: I own a company! I can outbid both of u! $15,985!
Mischief: *Looks smug* This was an amazing idea
Skyenet: I know. It gives me a good idea...
Capsicle: Oh, no! I sense a massive disturbance in the Force...
Spidey: Cap knows Star Wars? When did he have time to learn that?
Capsicle: Those movies were on Tony's "Essential List of Movies to See to Understand the 21st Century"
The Stanky One: That list was one of my greatest creations
Former Director: I am suddenly very interested in the contents of this list...
The Stanky One: Enough to drop ur bids?
Former Director: Of course not. Besides, weren't u so proud of being able to outbid us?
The Stanky One: Ummm...
Nat: He has u there. $21,398
The Stanky One: $26,494. Is that enough, Loki?
Mischief: It's an auction. It's only enough if nobody else outbids u
The Stanky One: Drat
Capsicle: I predict that Nat gives up first
Popsicle: U willing to bet on that, punk?
Capsicle: Actually, yes. I'm so certain in fact that I'm willing to bet $1500 on it
Popsicle: Deal. Natasha, u'd better not drop out first!
Nat: No worries. I have a plan!
Capsicle: Our bet's off if Nat cheats by threatening physical violence in any way
Skyenet: Does that mean that threats of non-physical violence r ok?
Nat: I must assume that they r...
Former Director: At least Natasha has no clue where I am right now
Mister Stank: Drat. I'm in the same building as her! I am so screwed
Nat: U could give up now... $45,863 to Loki for his idea, by the way
Former Director: $64,507
Pepperoni: Tony, you are not allowed to use company money in auctions run by the Norse God of Mischief. This should honestly be self-explanatory
Mister Stank: But, honey...
Pepperoni: That's final!
Mister Stank: Fine
Nat: *cough, cough* Whipped *cough, cough*
Former Director: Really, Nat?
Nat: *Shrugs* Nobody else was taking the opportunity, and it was so obvious
Skyenet: Since Loki's auction was going so well... I will begin my own auction! It's for admin privileges in this very chat!
Mister Stank: Oooh, $655
Capsicle: U're going to need a better starting bid than that. $1500
Black Widow #2: What'd I miss?
Skyenet: A lot
Black Widow #2: How much is a lot? Is my sister willing to help?
Nat: U put black widows in my pillow, so I'm not that inclined to help...
Black Widow #2: It was retaliation! U deserved that! Can we just call it even?
Nat: That's still not a good enough offer. What else r u offering?
Black Widow #2: I can betray my co-conspirators?
Energy: Which co-conspirators? The Younger Sibling Squad? If so, I will be very displeased...
Black Widow #2: Of course not
Nat: That's acceptable. Tony tried to wake everyone up before dawn because he doesn't have a functioning sleep schedule (we later determined that this might be genetic)
Black Widow #2: What?
Nat: Read the above texts for more info. U should still be able to see them. Anyway, then Loki got me, Fury, and Stark to bid on his "most humiliating idea"...
Black Widow #2: Who won?
Nat: We're not done yet. No one's given in. Can u not interrupt me? Anyway, Cap and Bucky decided to place bets on the auction, and then Quake stole the auction idea but offered admin privileges for this chat. U get all of that?
Black Widow #2: Yep. So, Quake... is $2750 enough to win the auction?
Skyenet: Almost certainly not, but it is the highest bid so far...
