That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

I've spent a lot of time in jungles. Insects are a problem.

But you're not wrong.

I'll still take my chances. I like long odds.

[kindofamazing]

If it weren't for the technicality of class distinction, I'd almost be worried you were calling me a problem.

Okay, okay, I feel like we're learning a lot here.

Would you rather be forced to sing along or dance to every single song you hear?

[vestments]

I'm not that subtle.

No.

( that's it, that's his answer. )

[kindofamazing]

Aww come on! You get to keep your weapons in this one too!

[vestments]

Who do you think I am, Deadpool?

[kindofamazing]

Is that a rhetorical question or...?

But also I'm just following your lead here. What are you saying, weapons only matter with ants and bulls?

[vestments]

You asked me what I'd prefer to fight. I'm not fighting a bull-sized ant with just my fists.

[kindofamazing]

I mean, I could, but don't feel bad, it's not a contest.

Okay, say you're stuck with me for a while, would you rather I dance to every song I heard or sing?

[vestments]

Not all of us have powers.

Dance. That's easier to ignore.

[kindofamazing]

I could lend you mine! I'd have to be there, of course, but you could always call for back-up if you need it and I'd dance my way right over. Arms in the air, waving around like I just don't care. Eyyy! Ooooh! Eyyy!

[vestments]

Borrowing powers hasn't worked out for me, historically speaking.

( IGNORING the rest of it. )

[You're no fun, Marc. Pay attention to the mental image of him being a peacock spider in mating dance mode :'( ]

Not the literal kind, that's definitely messy. I'm talking about the power of team work! 🫶

[vestments]

( alas marc doesnt know the definition of the word. )

I'm allergic to teamwork.

[kindofamazing]

They do over the counter stuff for allergies. You do know that right? I can pick you up some on the way over. José owes me a favour anyway.

[vestments]

They also sell spider repellent.

[kindofamazing]

How about that, you really aren't subtle.

[vestments]

You've seen my suit. That can't be a shock.

[kindofamazing]

Not really but there are also people who run around in red and blue tights and some of us get calls from the President while some of us get called a menace to society. I'm not bitter though.

Do you know they said I dragged a baby into a sewer and ate it once? I mean, do I look like the titular character of a horror novel to you? Be honest.

... Actually maybe don't. Tell me sweet lies instead.

[vestments]

Do I need to remind you what they say about me?

They also say you eat criminals and have venomous fangs.

But you do crawl up walls. Have you seen The Exorcist?

[kindofamazing]

What I do with my criminals in private is between me, them and God.

And these don't sound like sweet lies to me. Are you trying to drive the I Don't Play Well With Others thing home?

I could tell you some sweet lies if you want. Like how you'd make a great Build-a-Bear.

[vestments]

Not many people agree with that point of view.

No. ( yes. ) But you know what they say about honesty.

[kindofamazing]

Does what they say about honesty apply to those us in masks though?

[vestments]

Why wouldn't it?

[kindofamazing]

I mean, okay, point. But arguably there's something probably philosophical about hiding the truth behind the mask.

Besides all the practical safety stuff.

Look I'm just a sensitive soul at heart.

I've had a similar conversation with my therapist.

She was a lot more blunt about it.
