[ Ariadne has not been having the best past few days. First she gets in a fight with George (which is entirely his fault, obviously), then she tries to hold up a casino that one of her housemates works at with a complete stranger, and now this. 'This', of course, is the mistletoe and all of the ugly side-effects it's causing

[He's on his way to the cafe when he sees her coming in. Oh wow okay.]

Someone needs coffee.

[oneminutemaze]

I think I need something stronger than coffee, but then I might accidentally weld my hand to something.

[ She's ordering coffee anyway, though. ]

[ironmanic]

Need a glass? I've got like ten down here. Doesn't have to be strong.

[oneminutemaze]

[ There's a moment of consideration. ]

Yeah, sure. Thanks.

[ironmanic]

Jarvis'll let you in. You know the sign that says 'Authorized Personnel Only'? You're now authorized.

[oneminutemaze]

This is why I work for you.

Do you want me to grab you something?

[ironmanic]

[snort]

Because I'm awesome?

A slice of pizza from the cafe if you don't mind. Pepperoni - lots of pepperoni.

[oneminutemaze]

Obviously.

No problem. [ And off she goes, returning a while later with a large slice of pizza with lots of pepperoni for Tony and both a coffee and something a bit stronger for herself. ]

[ironmanic]

Dummy- if you'd please.

[The small robot whirs and brings a rolling chair over to Ariadne.]

Welcome to my evil lair.

[oneminutemaze]

I thought you weren't going for the mad scientist thing.

[ Er. Are you supposed to say thank you to a robot? She'll just... nod at it... and sit down. ]

Here's your pizza.

[ironmanic]

Evil scientist. Mad scientist has a completely different connotation to it. I'm not mad- maybe slightly irritable at best.

[He takes the pizza and digs into it like the classy billionaire that he is. Aka not classy at all.]

So. Make out with your worst enemy or something?

[oneminutemaze]

Typically they go hand-in-hand, but I could just have been watching the wrong movies.

[ There's an amused look as he digs in before Ariadne starts into her drinks. ]

I don't actually have one of those. Surprisingly enough, the kisses haven't been too bad, other than the awkward afterward.

[ironmanic]

They're not mutually exclusive, but you can definitely have one without the other.

[Mmmm. Pizza. He wipes off some cheese from his goatee.]

Wait until you get mono.

[oneminutemaze]

Should I be concerned about working for you?

[ Classy. ]

What, you haven't ended up hit by this?

[ironmanic]

I personally think you should be thrilled and elated to work with such an innovative and outgoing mind.

[nom]

Only about ten times today.

[oneminutemaze]

I will be thrilled and elated up until whatever evil plans you have screw me over.

[ Sip. ]

I think that makes us about even.
