This is a voicemail post until I actually get around to making it pretty.

Then you definitely don't like part two of most trilogies, huh? How's this weekend, maybe Saturday?

Pfft! Yeah, I caught that post and carefully avoided it... just in case you happened to be looking for any test dummies and got a bright idea. [Kidded, before he couldn't help but correct--] Besides, I'm tougher than I look. And bendy. You'd never even land a hit.

[Voice]

[bellonaborn]

Saturday works for me... And I wouldn't know. I don't get to see many movies, much less trilogies.

[Okay, there's a laugh this time.]

Are you? You'll have to prove it, then.

[Voice]

[peterparker]

Okayyyy, sling movie night right onto your 'to do' list, then. Not acceptable, friend!

[He's rolling his eyes over here.]

Seriously? Fine. Laugh all you want; for now. But you never know.

Maybe I'm Batman.

[Voice]

[bellonaborn]

Movie night will be cocoa the Three-quel? Or just Movie Night the First?

...... Who's that?

[Sheltered childhood, you can't just sling out pop culture references like that.]

[Voice]

[peterparker]

...Did you just make a pun? Was that what I just heard here? Excuse me, moment of silence. Here lies Reyna's humorless exterior, rest in peace.

The semantics are up to you. [He was good with it either way.]

...And you don't know Batman? Seriously?

Then you definitely don't know Spider-Man. Pity, 'cause he's way cooler.

[Voice]

[bellonaborn]

We'll cross that bridge when it comes, then. I never said I was humorless, you merely assumed that.

..... I'm more confused at how men named for animals or insects are supposedly "cool" in any sense.

[Voice]

[peterparker]

'Merely', huh. I wonder why~

Oh, please! Spiders are way scary and flippy and stuff. And uh, bats are... dark and mysterious?

[Voice]

[bellonaborn]

Spiders can be squished. Bats are often misunderstood. Are those really supposed to be impressive?

[Voice]

[peterparker]

...You're wounding me here, Reyna.

[Voice]

[bellonaborn]

Am I?

[.... But how?]

[Voice]

[peterparker]

I think they're pretty cool. They're, yanno. The good guys. Hero stuff.

[Voice]

[bellonaborn]

And you're wounded because I don't find them as impressive as you do? I didn't know you were so sensitive, Peter.

[Voice]

[peterparker]

Well, you know, I thought squished was a little harsh.

[Voice]

[bellonaborn]

It was just the truth.

[Voice]

[peterparker]

Yeah, yeah...

Okay, so cocoa. And this time? You won't win the race-- not by a long-shot.

[Voice]

[bellonaborn]

So we'll meet at the same place we did last time?

I'll win this time, but not because you're holding back.

[Voice]

[peterparker]

Yeah, sounds good.

I'll have ordered by the time you catch up.
