No, I'm looking for distractions.

I really don't like this place.

[paragon]

It can't be that bad.

[biggerstick]

Okay, picture this. You're suddenly 10 years younger and find yourself trapped here. How would that work out for you?

[paragon]

Well, I hear they have medicine for asthma now, so I think I'd be okay.

[biggerstick]

[sinks further into the couch, groaning 8((((]

[paragon]

I don't know, Tony. I'd probably have a hard time wrapping my head around it. But I've always gotten there before. And having people around who know me would make it easier.

[biggerstick]

Did you bring food with you?

[paragon]

Have I ever brought food with me?

[biggerstick]

Coulson brought food once.

[paragon]

Coulson hasn't seen the rats here.

[biggerstick]

That's because they don't come in here. Slick scares them off.

[paragon]

Are you hungry?

[biggerstick]

Yes. Was I too subtle?

[paragon]

Never, Tony. Let's go to the pool house.

[biggerstick]

[immediately heading to the door]

Alright.

[paragon]

[ waving goodbye to Slick and following. ]

[biggerstick]

Have you had skittles?

[paragon]

Is that an expression?

[biggerstick]

No, it's candy.

[paragon]

Then no.

[biggerstick]

I'll get you skittles and pop rocks.

...

Pop rocks will be fun.

[paragon]

[ just raises an eyebrow at that. ]

Lot of candy from my time is still around. I was surprised.

[biggerstick]

... you know, I don't really know much about candy History. I remember pop rocks coming out because I was a kid back then.

[paragon]

Makes sense. There's a whole bunch of new stuff, for sure. But we had a lot of the same candy bars, that kind of thing. Guess tastebuds don't really change over the decades when it comes to chocolate.

[biggerstick]

I think we've gotten slightly more demanding.
