Alexa play 'my neck, my back' by elle king.

1/2

[pursuitofcappiness]

Oh is this a mix tape?

[pursuitofcappiness]

-- I just want everyone to know that I've never heard this song before in my life.

[backwaterbelle]

Well that's a cover.

Original

[pursuitofcappiness]

I haven't heard that one either!

[backwaterbelle]

It's a classic. Doesn't hold a candle to Cash though.

[getscooperation]

[ This is NOT her friend's day. ]

Wow, Steve.

[pursuitofcappiness]

You know I wouldn't talk about that kind of thing on a shared comm!

[getscooperation]

[ Her poor friend. ]

Unfortunately, that’s what makes it funny.

[ If it makes him feel any better, it’s his propriety and unimpeachable respect — he would never reduce someone to their body parts — that makes this hilarious.

So she can at least give him that no one is walking away from this doubting his character. ]

[silent_butdeadly]

[Well, this is more details about Steve's private life than he ever wanted to know. But when life gives you lemons...]

Way to go, punk, you finally made it to third base!

[pursuitofcappiness]

I WASN'T REFERENCING THE SONG

[silent_butdeadly]

[Oh he knows, but it's not going to stop him from poking fun at Steve.]

Sure, buddy.

Just make sure to be quiet, some of us hear better than others. Or you know, just wait until we can all go back home before bringing in your next conquest.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Don't worry, we'll be respectful.

[ A full minute later: ]

*I

[ Good save! ]

[branchingpaths]

My my, captain, I never thought you'd be so bold.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Did you invite yourself to this chat using my relic?

[branchingpaths]

Why would you think that?

[pursuitofcappiness]

How else would you be here?

[getscooperation]

[ Quietly dying of laughter. ]

[branchingpaths]

[Not so quietly dying of laughter. The entire house probably heard the howl of laughter Loki let out when he played the song.]

[ironypoisoned]

If we're all done talking about my pussy and crack, coffee order?

[backwaterbelle]

Today? Pistachio latte with an extra shot of espresso. If you can make it *fancy* Tony.

Now, did making an inappropriate and silly lyric connection rile up the pop culture king? Do we need to drill into this further?

[Is that a muffled snort coming from the tree branches?]

[ironypoisoned]

Sure, fine, I can be the world's highest paid barista for a day. Pistachio with an extra shot, coming right up.

Please understand I'm trying very hard to be good and not say anything inappropriate about your usage of the phrase "drill into" given what we're talking about, but you're not making it easy.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Why are you encouraging this

[ironypoisoned]

Baristas deserve a fair wage to feed their families, Cap. [ Watching Steve squirm is still fun about a decade later, and Tony's so used to this sort of shit. ]

[backwaterbelle]

Technically, the less you talk the less you get paid here right? So, you control your own destiny on that one.

More importantly, how hard are you trying?

[She's aware that all this risks her getting said fancy coffee, but she'll manage if that happens.]
