how to train my dexgon...

garbage, no matter how well i do my job, follow all mission objectives, complete every assignment. now i'm under all this public pressure and scrutiny, and i know they're looking for any reason to say i don't measure up. and how could i? to thor? captain america? any of them.

love that. let me encourage valentina to throw another gala, and we can make sure fisk is on the invite list. see what sort of damage we can arrange.

Way to make us sound like we're starring in a bad parody porno.

Don't try then. Be yourself. You'll get people to like you just by doing that. After all, I do.

Yes, that's a great idea. I want to watch from the dark corners of the room while I munch on popcorn.

i already feel like a bad parody edition. might as well make it fun.

not sure. i've been through enough of the hr and pr training sessions to know all the sorts of things i rather say aren't appropriate on camera. keeping my mouth shut and letting the others do the talking feels easiest.

not sure popcorn is gala food. they prefer little... things on crackers, i think. and i say that never having attended one.

Okay. Stand there and look pretty instead. That won't be too hard for you.

Yeah, they serve fancy little hors d'oeuvres there, like a pâté made of fish with names you never even heard of before.

luckily the camera is usually on yelena, or bucky. or alexei once he starts yapping again.

are they any good, or are rich people just tricking themselves into eating disgusting things because they sound fancy and cost a lot?

[ricochetingbullets]

You do realize all it takes is one big influencer on social media to be like 'who is ghost and why is no one talking about how hawt she is????' and you'll end up with the spotlight on you just as much as the others have?

Sometimes they're good. Particularly where expensive meats and cheese are involved. And sometimes it's escargot and caviar and you start wondering how hungry people must have been back in the Dark Ages to start thinking this shit was ever considered edible.

[immaterialgirl]

that's when the mask goes back on.

yeah, i assume anything that didn't lead to poisoning and death was probably considered edible enough back in the day. but convincing wealthy people to pay more for bugs and eggs must be some sort of joke.

[ricochetingbullets]

What a shame.

I mean when you think about it, what crazy caveman back in the day thought an EGG was edible? This weird white rock-like thing that breaks when you open it up and somehow you can eat the contents? Insanity!

[immaterialgirl]

don't like feeling like a product to consume, that's all.
or that the public gets to like... control the narrative of me now.
popularity ratings and gossip articles and weird comments about why i don't smile more.

yeah i'm curious how people first figured out the concept of cooking things over fire, or boiling in water. or grinding up grains and making it into a paste and then somehow into bread. and breeding crops into more edible versions. really weird shit, but i guess people didn't have much else to do with their time those days but chew on everything they found.
