Look inside, look inside your tiny mindThen look a bit harder'Cause we're so uninspired, so sick and tiredOf all the hatred you harbor

Frances poked around on her phone waiting for Martin to pop up from his meeting and go off for food, leaning up against the side of the office building he was currently in. If the lights flickered or the windows blew out, she'd know the meeting went.... sour and she needed to get in there. Hey, she could be a very believable bodyguard when the guy paid her in gold freaking doubloons. And by the way, she was now being followed by the Archival Squad for more. Looking up, she scowled at the picketers across the way and swarming the train station. Oh look at all the people's days you all are ruining, congrats. She sighed and kept playing Bejewelled, checking the time once more.

	She snorted and stuck her tongue out. "Magic's magic. Cooties are science. Difference there, Pip." Waggling her finger, she started drinking her shake properly and then nodded to Martin's glass. "It's melting, by the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dr. Strange used to be a real medical doctor before you know," he shot back triumphantly as if knowing a surgeon cured you of archer-germs. In response to the melting comment he slurps his down faster now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She leans forward, looking around to be sure no one else would be listening. "Dr. Strange used to dye his hair and goatee," she added in a conspiratorially loud whisper, leaning back and sipping her milkshake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin stuck his tongue out slightly at her. "Mr. Hawkeye once got stuck in a magic jar in the Sanctum." True? Perhaps. No way to know for sure, heroes visited that Sanctum often and if you weren't careful about what you touched... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Frances canted her head to the side, considering her father and the likelihood of that probably happening. She shrugged and then nodded. "Strange singed an eyebrow off with magical back-fire." (Go dad. ) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He'd concede that point assuming it was early magic days. Everyone did that at least once. "Mr. Hawkeye is banned from Wong's kitchen because of the pancake incident." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"Mm." She shakes her head and lifts a finger to correct Martin. "That was Logan. Mr. Hawkeye prefers to fry bacon shirtless." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-10 12:33 am UTC (link)
	Martin grins triumphantly. "Trick one! Everyone is banned from Wong's kitchen. Some are just extra banned." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 12:38 am UTC (link)
	"Touche, well played." She toasts him with the milkshake for the gambit well played. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-10 12:50 am UTC (link)
	He preens a little at the toast. "Don't worry you're not extra banned yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"Good, that makes it easier to make cinnamon rolls if I'm allowed in a kitchen." She smirks and wiggles her eyebrows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-10 01:00 am UTC (link)
	"Oh! You're not allowed in Wong's kitchen still, I'm extra extra banned, so is Orlen. But you can use the TBolt one. Nobody really uses it and it's new. Anya blew up the old one." Though he sounds downright hurt at the last line. She'd blown up the kitchen. And hadn't waited for him to be around to see! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 01:21 am UTC (link)
	Frances's expression spoke volumes on just what she could guess those two getting into in the kitchen of Wong. It wasn't pretty. She did, however, start snickering about Anya's mishap with the kitchen. "Well it's pretty consistent with Starks and culinary equipment. Toast can be traumatic in their hands." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But I didn't get to see it! Everyone talks about how stuff in the kitchen blows up around her but I never get to see it," he huffed. A thought occurred to him and he looked at Frances suspiciously. "Can you cook?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 01:48 am UTC (link)
	She shrugged, never seeing it but knowing the stories. She couldn't look at omlettes for a month after one. "If the occasion calls for it," she alludes and tries to look aloof. "There's only so much take-out and ramen a girl can take, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-10 11:09 am UTC (link)
	"So...no then? Okay. I don't know anyone that can really cook except Wong." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 02:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Well of course I know how to cook, bachelorette-hood taught me well. How else do magicians eat, if you guys don't cook? Isn't just like... potions and stuff?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-10 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah, so you can! What can you cook? And we have Wong," he explained as if this was the blanket solution to sorcerers without culinary skills. "Potions would do funny things to anyone. Especially Frances ones." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	"And what if Wong decides to peace out? Has a sabbatical?" She lifted her eyebrow, because usually her culinary expertise is not called into question. "...Well, Dad taught me Mex-Tex, and I love me my garlic noodles, I'm good with Fridge Stew every now and then." She squinted at him suspiciously about the Frances potions.

	magic_hands 2013-02-10 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	"There's takeout. Wait...isn't it Tex-Mex? Not Mex-Tex? And do Orlen and I get to try the garlic noodles? Or cinnamon rolls?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Mex-Tex, Tex-Mex, same diff. Someone might have the rights to one of the terms," she shrugs. Dear God, Orlen and Martin living off delivery for weeks. She hrms, weighing the choices out. "Maaaaaybe. Depends." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He slurps more of his milkshake with an innocent look. "On what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	She checks her nails idly, thinking. "Well.... For Orlen;s a completely different set of rules, but let's see... Clearly I'd need an afternoon or so to make them up, bottom line. ...Maybe some help with hexes or pranks on Orlen, or trick arrows when the muse descends..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-10 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	She gets a bright smile back. As if he wouldn't have helped prank Orlen, or give her more trick arrows. "Okay! I can do all that. What kind of trick arrows this time? Were the last ones good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-10 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"The fire arrows are pretty awesome and the ice ones too. Very Linkish, all I need is Epona and a teeny little fairy telling where to go." She shrugged. "I've learnt, it's better to let the sorcerers think things up and not limit them with suggestions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
