[CW: Discussion of cancer]

[Guess what has two thumbs and is awake, Barge? And guess what’s also reasonably unperturbed by falling into a Barge coma? THIS GUY.]

So in case some of you idiots didn’t know, it’s October, which means in addition to pumpkin spice lattes and slutty Halloween costumes sold on every corner, it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. [Archer holds up a little pink ribbon; there’s another one pinned to the lapel of his suit.] Nobody should have to go through this disease, because except for the medical marijuana it freaking sucks. So show some support, guys, wear a ribbon. And if you haven’t gotten checked lately, run through the self-exam or hit up the doctors in the infirmary. I’m sure they’d be happy to help. [It says something about how serious he is that he doesn’t make any jokes about this. Not even a crack about mammograms.]

And speaking of slutty Halloween costumes, who’s throwing the party? Is it BYOB?

[Private; Rogue]
Uh, pub?

Pub.

Well, I would rather fight naked.

But there's a reason.

[codename_duchess]

So you're like... old-fashioned Celtic Warrior Lady?

Audio

[permutates]

The ones that painted themselves blue, you mean?

[ This is funny and you don't even know why because audio ]

Audio

[codename_duchess]

Those ones.

Look, I'm not trying to be creepy here, but do I get to watch you fight?

switching to video

[permutates]

I'm a little like them.

[ Not that she considers herself totally human. ]

You can't watch unless you're fighting with me or against me.

[codename_duchess]

[Well hello.]

With. Definitely with. Unless you're -- into that weird racial discrimination stuff in which case we might have a problem.

Hi. Sterling Archer. You're gorgeous.

[permutates]

[ oh stahp it u (don't stop keep saying things) ]

I'm a mutant. Depends on if you have a problem with that.

[codename_duchess]

[girl with you, he couldn't]

Yeah. I totally have a problem with the fact that you're a hot, highly evolved badass. Deeply offended here.

video

[permutates]

If I wasn't any good at fighting, would you still call me a badass?

[ Slight hesitation before 'badass' indicates it is not a word she uses often. ]

video

[codename_duchess]

Technically you don't have to be great at fighting to be a badass. I mean, you've got to have plenty of skills.

[Is it a line? Is it posturing? Is it the truth? Who even knows.]

video

[permutates]

And you like to flatter pretty girls.

video

[codename_duchess]

I like to say what I think.

video

[permutates]

[ ...all right. She'll buy it. ]

Then we should go to the CTS sometime.

Have you tried it yet?

[megamind]

[ I'm sorry, the comment that was going to go here is only a squeak, because Raven's a lovely blue lady, and Megamind's committed, not immune to attraction to other people. ]

[ squeak ]

Audio

[permutates]

What?

[ i n n o c e n t ]

Audio

[megamind]

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Audio

[permutates]

It's easier. I can't change size with a jacket on.

Audio

[megamind]

No, no, I'm not going to argue to go, uh, to battle as you're comfortable! I'm not arguing with choice of clothing i mean-- come on, I swear a skin tight body suit and thigh-high platform boots.

I'm just- not okay with his word choice. It's rude!

Audio

[permutates]

I know. I mean there might be a reason to show skin that isn't seducing someone.

Audio

[megamind]

Well, yes. I just don't think he can get that.

Audio

[permutates]

I think he gets the point.

Audio

[megamind]

Well, at least someone got it across! I could't quite seem to.

THough his idea of a party is sound, and we could all use a breather...

Audio

[permutates]

What would you dress up as?

Audio

[megamind]

Uhm. I don't know? I've never... participated in that sort of thing.

Audio

[permutates]

But you know about it, don't you?
