74 Godiva Street, AKA Tamsin and Death's Home Of More Alcohol Than Last Year, Saturday Evening

[fjordicswagger]

Okay, this party had been born out of actual need (for alcohol and getting laid) last year; this year, those factors weren't as urgent for Tamsin, who figured she could always drop in on Jessica or Mike if the night was a spectacular failure.

But hell, it'd been fun last time. Why the hell not?

There were black sheets hanging in front of the windows again, and pillows and sheets scattered all over the floor to make for little makeshift sitting spaces and nooks. There was an empty bottle (in case someone decided to play Spin the Bottle) sitting somewhere in the middle of the room, and in a fit of generosity Tamsin had thoughtfully supplied a bunch of bags of chips in case people wanted to eat stuff.

The glitter clinging to the sheets and the walls and whatnot: not her fault. Who'd ever heard of impromptu localized glitter storms before? At least the winds had died down well before the party actually started, but there was no way in hell she was vacuuming all that stuff up.

There. Party time.

"I don't think we've met." Person who hopefully couldn't kill him via sex.

"You look familiar, but probably not," Didi agreed. "I'm Didi, Tamsin's roomie. Hi there."

"Tony Stark. You might have met... two of me before." Fandom problems.

"Multiple universes?" Didi guessed, with only the slightest raise of her eyebrows. "Probably. I went to school here for a while, too."

"I like to think it's because I'm so charming," Tony replied with a grin. "But yes, perils of a multiverse ."

"I know them well," Didi told him easily. "I haven't had any doubles, but I did have a sister who wasn't my sister for a while. And allegedly one of my brothers was here for a while, too."

"I just have two teammates who aren't really my teammates." A beat. "Their world sounds a little sad that way."

Re: Eat! If Actual Food Arrives!

"I'm sure they're missing out," Didi agreed sardonically. "What kind of team are you on?"

Re: Eat! If Actual Food Arrives!

[imafuturist]

"Superheroes." Which was totally normal.

Re: Eat! If Actual Food Arrives!

[living_endless]

"Oh!" Didi said, also as if that had been totally normal. "Justice League brand or X-Men brand?"

This was how she told the difference, you see.

Re: Eat! If Actual Food Arrives!

[imafuturist]

"Avengers, actually," he said, perking up a little. "Never heard of any Justice League, but the X-Men do exist where I'm from."

Re: Eat! If Actual Food Arrives!

[living_endless]

"Justice League is the one that exists where I'm from," Didi explained. "It's ... the same but different. Bunch of good guys hang out and keep the bad guys from ending the world. Avengers is a less dorky name, though."

Re: Eat! If Actual Food Arrives!

[imafuturist]

"In one universe, we're apparently called the Ultimates." Tony found this name to be just as dorky as the Justice League.

Re: Eat! If Actual Food Arrives!

[living_endless]

"I'm sorry," Didi said genuinely. "Ultimate what, do you think?"

Re: Eat! If Actual Food Arrives!

[imafuturist]

"I really don't want to know. Their world sounded a little... testosterone filled."

Which was a good description of Ultimate Marvel.
