[The video broadcast begins with a flash of half-clothed leg and a loud clatter as the device hits the floor. There's a long moment of rustling fabric as Pepper pulls on her pants and then a sigh.]

Sounds like s-s-someone's in th' doghouse.

[notbuiltforthis]

What?

[malfunctionbot]

I just meant yer lil' fight, ya know?

[notbuiltforthis]

No one's in the doghouse.

[There has to be a relationship of some sort other than "antagonistic former work related acquaintances" for there to be a doghouse.]

[malfunctionbot]

Ah, m-maybe I misspoke. Sorry, Miss.

[Cause goddamn Pepper, he doesn't want to piss you off too.]

[notbuiltforthis]

[Right.]

Maybe.

[malfunctionbot]

Okay, maybe less 'maybe' and more 'insert f-foot in mouth', yeah?

[notbuiltforthis]

...Yes.

[There seems to be a lot of that going around?]

[malfunctionbot]

A woman o' few words, huh?

[notbuiltforthis]

I don't feel like talking right now.

[malfunctionbot]

All right all right, I get ya. Sorry t' bother. H-hope ya have a nice day, Miss.

[notbuiltforthis]

[It's too late for that.]

You as well.

[ironfail]

I don't think any part of this building can be compared to a doghouse. And even if it could, I'm certainly not in it.

[malfunctionbot]

It was a metaphor.

[ironfail]

I know. I'm saying there needs to be a relationship first before anyone can be in the doghouse.

[malfunctionbot]

No r-r-relationship, huh? Shore seemed like th' tension there could'a been cut with a knife.
