fandomhighdorms | Fifth floor common room, Wednesday evening

Nadia had gotten a package. It had been a very long time since she'd gotten a random package that wasn't something she'd ordered.

But it was from a former boss (and not one that she'd ~~killed~~ ~~slept with~~ stopped talking to on bad terms), so she figured it was okay.

Inside were a few CDs from Lucas, and a tupperware container with an extra note on it:

Hey, little former music babe,

Lucas says you used to totally dig the secret recipe of my brownies, so I thought I'd make sure you got some more for old times sake. Try not to watch any Gwar videos when you eat them.

Keep it cool,

Eddie

Her eyes widened.

Eddie's special brownies.

SCORE!

So now she was bopping around to an odd harpsichord playing musician who sounded kind of like a cross between Betty Boop and a cat screeching but was mysteriously catchy, and eating her some good brownies.

[ooc: open. Yes, those are Eddie's special brownies. Secret ingredient: "lots of sugar". Your character may or may not recognize them for what they are, Nadia may or may not tell your character what they are, I leave that up to you]

"Really? Oooo, maybe it'll give me Stark-vision!"

"Stark-vision?" he echoed, then took a few more bites of brownie. "These are good. Will you give it back? The mask?"

"Yuh-huh. Right back."

"Can I have another brownie?" Stark asked, since he'd finished his by now. This was probably not going to end well.

"Of course! They are for sharing!"

"Those are the best kind," Stark said seriously. "The kind for sharing."

"They are. I believe in sharing and equality."

Well, if Nadia was sharing it was only fair if he shared too, right? Whether or not he would have felt the same way on a night without brownies was difficult to say.

"Sharing is good," Stark agreed and reached up to unbuckle his mask. "You promise you'll give it back? Right back? Shouldn't have it off very long. Not good for me."

"I promise promise promise . . . ." Nadia was bouncing in anticipation.

Stark nodded. "Okay. Good, good." And then he pulled the mask off. It would have been good if he remembered not everyone knew he had a large glowy patch in place of half his face, but it was hard to remember these things under the influence of...lots of sugar.

Nadia stared. "Wow. You're all shiney." Then she put the mask on. "Can I be shiny, too?"

Hmm, Stark vision was somewhat unsettling. It was all two dimensional and lopsided.

"I'm supposed to be shiny! You're not. At least I don't think so. Would be weird, if you were. Probably wouldn't be good for you, being shiny. "

"Does it hurt?"

Stark shook his head. "Doesn't hurt. Why would it hurt? It's just me."

"Oh. 'Kay. You said it wouldn't be good for me. So I wondered."

"If you're not supposed to be glowing then you shouldn't be glowing because it wouldn't be good for you to be glowing," Stark explained helpfully. "That's all I meant."

Anders looked over from his stoned, giggling attempts to cuddle Bel. "Oooooooooo. Is this like a warning about what happens when I don't make you cupcakes?"

"No?" Stark said, a little confused. "It's just me! Without the mask. But you should still make cupcakes."

"I can do that!" Anders made another futile lying-down attempt to bounce. "Maybe I can make special cupcakes!"

Stark, who hadn't yet caught on to the fact that there was something odd about the brownies, gave Anders a confused-yet-glowy look. "You make special cupcakes too?"

"Well, noooooooooo. But I bet I can try!" Anders brightened at the thought. Though he maybe wasn't as bright as glowy Stark.

Nadia? Totally understood. "Okay. Do you need your mask back?"

Stark nodded. "I do. Shouldn't keep it off very long. Otherwise I...leak." He waved a hand at the glowy part of his face. "And that is bad. Very bad."

"Oh. But you're very pretty when you leak." Nadia handed the mask back. "Starkvision is lonely."

"I am?" Stark grinned and took the mask back and started messing with the buckles. "Thank you." Usually it was only blue people who said that. Well, one blue person. "Why lonely?"
