Have you seen the Cloak?

[nightsung]

I'm just getting out of the shower, but I can check the suite in a moment.

Have you ever considered putting little bells on its collar?

[rehandle]

I think you underestimate how quickly it would weaponize them.

Don't hurry on my account

[nightsung]

But think of how much Tony and I would enjoy hearing you jingle through every portal. Or the front door, if you ever want to use it.

How did you and the Cloak meet, anyway?

[rehandle]

I can start portaling into the hall if you want me to knock.

It was hanging out in a Sanctum display case while I was trying not to get killed. We smashed the case in the fight, and it came to my rescue.

[nightsung]

Has Tony not given you a key yet? [ Possibly because of all the portaling. ]

It must have known you'd look quite dashing together.

[rehandle]

[ Do you ever get bowled over by the casual handing out of relationship milestones every time you speak to one of your former blood-spouse now ???s? ]

Nope.

[ Do you ever, three seconds later, get made to blush like a schoolboy? ]

That must've been it. Waste of a perfectly good human fashion accessory.

[nightsung]

We should probably have him make you one, for whenever you're next rendered portal-less.

[ And then, because she doesn't have quite the confidence Tony does, ]

If you'd like one, of course.

Does it let you wear it with nothing else on underneath? Or does it get shy?

[rehandle]

[ A slightly longer pause between the last message and this one, but. ]

Yeah. Ok. Good plan, I'll ask him

& it doesn't really care about my state of dress. [ And because he can sense danger: ] It's not always allowed in the bedroom, though

[nightsung]

Not into voyeurs, then? Or are you just particular about them?

I do recall it made itself scarce at the club, once I landed in your lap.

[rehandle]

I'd say that's situational

[ That's one vote for option b ]

Yeah. It's hard to make an easy comparison since it's basically magic and cloth, but whether because it finds it weird or not, it gives me space when I need it

[nightsung]

Considerate of it.

I think I like knowing that people might be watching us at the club. Though now we could both get in trouble for fooling around on the clock.

[rehandle]

[ Oh, right. The club. ]

Maybe not. I think I might have to retire.

[nightsung]

I think retiring after 3 shifts is called quitting.

Hard to say when or if the clubs will open back up, I suppose.

[rehandle]

[ Critical hit. ]

Technically I didn't even work one. What's the work equivalent of an annulment?

True. If they do though, management should probably be left to feel comfortable in their own establishment.

[ ie. Not haunted by Stephen Strange, the ghost of group chats past. ]

[nightsung]

I don't know whether Silco will want me back at Hex Club either, to be honest.

[ due to putting his daughter-wife in mortal danger last month. ]

You and Tony can come distract me at Pink Slip, if nothing else.

[rehandle]

Sounds like a plan.

Just make sure to wear something not see through to smuggle me in under on your way in to work. I suspect Ani doesn't really want to see me either

[nightsung]

That sounds like a job for the Cloak.

Found it, by the way.

[ Incoming: a photo of the Cloak wrapped around a snoozing Astaribun in the middle of her and Tony's bed. ]

[rehandle]

So that's where all the hair's been coming from.

[ Like he didn't know. ]

[nightsung]

I think Astaribun's quite fond of it. She keeps doing binkies when it flies.

[rehandle]

Doing what?

[ Man who has not yet learned the rabbit lingo. ]

[nightsung]

Binkies 💗

[ attached: video of Astaribun doing little leap-kicks into the air. ]

[rehandle]

Oh

[ Cute.

... ]

Cute

[nightsung]

Rabbits do them when they're comfortable and relaxed.

I'm sure she'll do one around you some day

[rehandle]

Would it count as cheating my way into a rabbit's affections if I put the Cloak on?
