[ Felicia's sitting a table in a black sweat shirt, her long hair pulled back in a ponytail. She looks at the screen, sucking on the end of the pen in her hand contemplatively. ]

I've been thinking. Between sitting around the house and attending black tie political affairs, a girl hardly has much to occupy herself with these days. I just hate when I don't go out -- I'm sure plenty of you can sympathize. I need a change in routine. [ Because what she does at night is her private life, k. She swishes her hair. ]

So. Does anyone need a research assistant? Serious offers only.

Peter Parker's comm, video; none of my icons work sob sob

Something tells me I couldn't afford you on my salary.

video; same :(

[acrossyourpath]

Are you implying I'm expensive?

video; just a couple more days

[incywincyhero]

I'm implying that my salary is good, but not that good.

[acrossyourpath]

What a shame. Just imagine as coworkers.

[incywincyhero]

We'd light the scientific community on fire. Maybe literally.

Anything to make the winter more bearable.

[incywincyhero]

You're kidding, right? With the weather the way it's been this winter, if it got any more bearable it'd be spring.

[acrossyourpath]

You forget that I like it hot.

[incywincyhero]

Granted. But what are your feelings on the ukulele?

video;

[acrossyourpath]

You aren't going to play one, are you?

video;

[incywincyhero]

No, that'd be you. Aw, come on, that movie's a classic -- you really haven't seen it?

video;

[acrossyourpath]

Did I just become your partner in a comedy routine? Beginning to think it's a relief you can't afford me.

video;

[incywincyhero]

No, the comedy routine is Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. You're Marilyn in this scenario.

[Tsking.] I can't believe you haven't seen Some Like It Hot! We're going to have to fix this, missy.

video;

[acrossyourpath]

So long as it involves Marilyn, I'm willing to listen.

video;

[incywincyhero]

Short version: Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon dress in drag to infiltrate Marilyn's all-girl touring musical group so they can hide from the mob.

It's a comedy classic.

video;

[acrossyourpath]

If I'm supposed to be Marilyn, doesn't that mean you should be in a dress?

video;

[incywincyhero]

I'm very self-conscious about my legs. You wouldn't want to give me a complex, would you?

video;

[acrossyourpath]

Like you don't already show them off at every turn.

video;

[incywincyhero]

I think you may be mistaking me for someone else.

video;

[acrossyourpath]

Maybe you should invest in a baggier costume.

video, back-encrypted like whoa;

[incywincyhero]

[BLATANT ENCRYPTION.]

Felicia.

video, back-encrypted

[acrossyourpath]

[ She sighs. ]

Sorry.

ditto (it's just not the same without the cleavage)

[incywincyhero]

It's fine. I don't think anyone had time to see.

[Beat.]

But if anyone I know gets kidnapped you are so on the hook for helping me get them back.

(maybe one day...)

[acrossyourpath]

Aye-aye, captain. Anyway, I could have been talking about Halloween.

[incywincyhero]

You really think someone like Doctor Doom would buy that?
