Summer: Tony Tony tell me the Fourth of July is not just another day. Because I found this picture of you …
Tony: Anything involving colorful explosions is not just another day.
Summer: So we can have a party?
Tony: Bit short notice for a party, but we can launch fireworks off the tower, which will probably draw a crowd.
Summer: You don’t think Cap and Bruce and everyone will want to come?
Tony: I know Bruce isn’t going to want to. Sounds like a special sort of nightmare for him. Cap’s not really the type I’d party with, and fuck if I know where the others are.
Summer: *wryly* Do you think you can grill out without setting something on fire?
Tony: Probably not, but I can keep whoever winds up cooking company and be charming.
Summer: *laughs* Maybe we should have grilled things brought to us. We can sit on the party deck and watch the fireworks?
Tony: You can watch. I’ll be setting them off.
Summer: *grins more* From the suit?
Tony: From the tower.
Summer: Can I have a sparkler?
Tony: Sure.
Summer: Have you set off fireworks before?

Summer: … Tony, are there sweaty cosplay girls around Stark Tower?
Tony: Not in the last few days, no.
Summer: *sighs* Can someone make the SHIELD agents stop telling lies?
Tony: Well it has happened, just not in the last few days.
Summer: … I’m never leaving the tower again.
Tony: Pretty sure they’re harmless.
Summer: It’s embarrassing.
Tony: How are they any worse than the paparazzi? You walk past them all the time.
Summer: … I’m not a paparazzi.
Summer: *mutters* I’m gonna stab Ward.

Elspeth: *throws it at Summer*
Summer: *FLAILS with WANT*
*frisbees a credit card at her* Knock yourself out.
Summer: *fails to catch it and blinks at him before dissolving into laughter* Oh Tony.

Summer: Oh, OH I HAVE AN IDEA TONY
Summer: Can we take the yacht to Key West?! Please?!
Tony: I guess? I don’t see why not, at any rate.
Summer: Because we’ve known each other a year. *beams*
Summer: Can we go /right now/?
Tony: You do know Key West is kind of far away by yacht, right?
Summer: … you don’t keep one down there?
Summer: Uh.
Tony: Typically, yes, but it was getting company use further north.
Summer: Oh. *sulkily* There’s always a reason we can’t do the fun things I want to do.
Tony: Well your mun tends to ask at odd hours.
Summer: … She’s just as much of an insomniac as you.
Summer: Anyway what does my mun have to do with you being married to your company?
Elspeth: because starting something at 1:00, when it is entirely possible I will fall asleep in twenty minutes, is silly
Summer: Mew. Because picking it back up the next day is hard?
Elspeth: no, but nor is starting it the next day when it isn’t 1:00 in the morning
Panya Gwynn-Eris: mrrrr
Panya Gwynn-Eris: there you go with the logic again 🙂
Elspeth: also asking ‘can we go all the way to the opposite side of the country, after broaching the topic five minutes ago and we haven’t prepared or packed in the slightest, /right now/?’ is really weird
Summer: Says the mun of the man who was elbow-deep in the engine of a classic car the morning he was supposed to go to Afghanistan.
Tony: But my pilot was at least awake and the jet was ready at that point. And I was already prepped for the trip; I was just putting off the actual leaving.
Summer: I don’t mean us to go out the door without packing or anything. *sulkily again* Can’t you just say, yes, let’s go pack?
Summer: *flops over onto Tony*
Tony: *catches*
Summer: I’m tired of New York.
Tony: Then pack a bag. The pilot’s probably awake by now.
Summer: *perks up* Yay! *bounces off*
Summer: *bounces back and drops a duffel bag at Tony’s feet* All packed, sir!
Tony: *wanders off to grab his bag* Jarvis, assemble the flight crew.
Summer: *chases Tony to glomp him from behind* Love you!
Tony: Love you, too, Sunshine. *attempts to keep walking with the attached lichen*
Summer: *laughs, wobbling, and lets go*

Elspeth: I’ve decided that Sassy shall have a Halloween costume
Panya Gwynn-Eris: kay, good

Elspeth: I tried to resist, but every time I tried to scroll past it would go ‘but thou must!’
Panya Gwynn-Eris: YES
Panya Gwynn-Eris: DO IT
Summer: *off in a corner of the sofa howling with laughter
Elspeth: Tony shall be Kirk.
Summer: Of course. *still giggling*
Elspeth: He’ll find a way to wrangle the otter into a science officer’s uniform.
Summer: *bolts upright* I’m not wearing a red shirt!
Tony: Could paint you green. Or have Loki make you green; he could probably do that.
Summer: *can’t think of anything to say*
Summer: … I can’t figure out if that was a compliment or not, you wanting me to dress up as Gaila
