text | ❝ carry on my wayward son ❞

[quickfingers]

So I have mixed feelings on the whole black light tattoo thing because on the one hand it's cool, sure, but on the other it's a bit - can we say c r e e p y ? was consent a little too hard to ask for? Jeez, if I ever see my mom again she's going to hit me with a dish towel or a broom, and I didn't even get to pick the design. It's like someone gave me a glowstick IV. I feel like I'm going to turn blue soon, turn into a real mutant or something.

You ever stop and wonder why all the mutants and superheroes are kinda blue, anyway? it's such a popular color. I mean, if I could turn a color, I'd choose something a little less mainstream. Am I alone? am I just overthinking this... No offense to any blue friends out there. Guess you can't help who you are or what hue you happen to be. It's just hue you are?

Anyway, the actually important thing I had to say is that I work for a pizza joint here now and I'm not gonna boast but... actually I am going to boast, you ask for Quicksilver for delivery? You'll get that pie faster than you can pull out your change to tip me.

We were kidnapped from our homes, clearly consent of any form is not a high priority.

There are many kinds of blue. I would agree that navy is a bit overexposed. I prefer more of a Prussian blue.

[ He can appreciate the pun, but he's the blue one on his team, soooooo!! ]

[quickfingers]

Yeah, but if you head to toe were gonna turn a color, would you really want blue? why not... lavender. Fuchsia. A fresh mint green?

Everyone and their mom picks blue. It's frankly out of style

[lempereur]

I wouldn't want to be head to toe in any color. There's no visual interest without contrast.

...wait, TURN a color? Like your skin, not a costume?

[quickfingers]

So you're suggesting a pairing of colors? I can get with that

but yeah. Say whenever you sneeze you turn a color. (or two, your preference) Are you gonna tell me you're gonna pick blue?

[lempereur]

Well, no, not for my skin, at least. It would match too closely with my hair.

I think I would choose coral.

There is a boy here who is green. I believe he is always like that, it is not dependant on sneezing.

[quickfingers]

Coral, huh? You know, I've heard there are some heated arguments about the differences between coral and salmon. I can't personally tell one from the other but its definitely ruined marriages, that fight.

But there's a green kid here? See? More original than green. Not so... primary.

[lempereur]

What? Coral is brighter and more orange. Obviously.

What would you choose?

Most of us don't like it, so you'll hear that most do find it creepy, yes. But the government cares little about consent when it comes to the nanites and the tattoo because they believe they are more important than that.

Blue is always popular, but I believe they picked it because it's the opposite of red. [ which is the color of communism and Russian, get it? ]

Just how much of a tip are you expecting for your speedy service?

[incogneto]

If I receive the pizza after I have a tip prepared, does that mean I get a refund? Is this message legally binding?

[aggressiveapathy]

lime green
like
radioactive lime

[quickfingers]

[Brighter and more orange? Peter takes a moment to frown and consider annnd nope, till can't see it.]

If I was gonna turn something I could go for orange, really be pop of color. But not like, oompa-loompa orange. Actually, make me a strong teal. Or head to toe chrome, if I'm like - super deluxe. The shine would really sell it, I think.

[quickfingers]

Nobody is more important than consent. But I guess no doesn't mean no if you don't give anyone a chance to speak.

Ey, do nanites count as pets if they're housed inside us? Kinda like seamonkies but in your blood or whatever?

[quickfingers]

Let's just say if it's not worth it, your next pie'd be slow. If it arrives at all.

[quickfingers]

Geez, thanks for outing me here. [He's joking, mostly.]

[quickfingers]

Because... I know quite a few blue mutants, actually.

And all three are really a strong shade of it.

[incogneto]

Sorry, everyone already knew.

[quickfingers]

[It takes Peter a moment (read: second) to figure out a smooth transition from text to video, navigating the smartphone like he was born with it in his hand after only a few hours of exploration with it. He's still not used to this whole 'video-call' aspect, it's straight out of sci-fi. And so cool.]

Are you like a robot? That is pretty cool. I'll give you a pass on blue, just because.

[quickfingers]

My dude, I won't be late.

If I am, which I won't be, you don't have to tip me. But good luck getting another pizza on time after that.

[quickfingers]

you're after my heart here
I find that would be a good pairing with yellow eyes

Unfortunately the government isn't exactly asking for consent.

Congratulations on your job, Peter. How do you find it?

[quickfingers]

Honestly? Truthfully? It makes me really hungry.

But I'll survive.
