So who else is going to the Renaissance Faire this weekend?

[a pause]

Bucky, I'm looking at you, pal.

Who wouldn't want to see Norman Osborn donning lime green tights?

With a doublet, I mean.

[A noise somewhere between disgusted and dismayed. Also just... skeeved out.]

That has to count as a parole violation or something. It has to.

[enigmaestro]

On the contrary. You see, Mr. Osborn thought he was too good for his previous job, so I painstakingly found him a new endeavor. Albeit, a temporary one, since the faire is seasonal.

He's the King. The previous one was fired last-minute after a sex scandal with two pageboys and a royal horse. The company was desperate.

[queenofcantstfu]

So you're saying all the unsuspecting merry faire-goers will be subjected to the tyranny of King Norman the Worst?

Yaaaaaaay.

[enigmaestro]

He has a script to follow, he's harmless. And he has to stay in character the entire time -- lest he be demoted to chamberpot chancellor.

Guess what my goal is this weekend.

[queenofcantstfu]

I guess the idea of him being forced to pose with tourists and preside over a human chess game might be kind of hilarious...

[enigmaestro]

Kind of? This is the sort of thing one cannot simply erase from history.

Forever will it be remembered as the time when Norman Osborn suffered the greatest blow to his dignity. I heard he was greatly displeased by the proposal -- rumors, mind, you'd have to ask his parole officer.

[queenofcantstfu]

I'd personally like it better if he was chamberpot chancellor off the bat, but I suppose the fall from grace is necessary.

[enigmaestro]

When fiction mimics reality, isn't that right?

Oh dear, was that cruel of me to say? I hope he isn't listening.

[queenofcantstfu]

What are you going as, anyway?

[enigmaestro]

I was playing with an ironic idea of a rogue, but I think I'm more inclined to portray myself as a Lord.

A Lord in Norman's court, one who plans to assassinate him. Inherent drama is never a bad thing, you know.

[queenofcantstfu]

Of course not. Fits right in with the period, too.

You're having way too much fun with this.

[enigmaestro]

Last time I checked, it wasn't a crime to engage enthusiasm with communal events.

[queenofcantstfu]

Of course not. It's refreshing to see someone so moved by the spirit of the faire, that's all.

[enigmaestro]

Precisely. And what, pray tell, will you be moved to?

[queenofcantstfu]

I'll be moving my butt to the archery contest and pigging out on corn on the cob on a stick. I'll be the purple lady-Robin Hood, it shouldn't be hard to spot me.
