"Most of us are, anyway. I mean, I'm obviously perfectly normal, but the rest of y'all make my life strange," he said, giving a cock-eyed grin.

"Now, hold on just a minute there, buckaroo. That's species-ism. You just assume because you wouldn't be interested in doing it, that it must be ordinary, boring and mundane. I tell you, the secret life of objects is really exceptionally entertaining when you get down to the nitty gritty."

"A stapler is infinitely less likely to stress about Doctor Doom showing up."

"Unless, I suppose, it's Doctor Doom's stapler."

"When you stop second-guessing yourself and just be who you are it feels really good. It's hard living up to other people's expectations! People judging you all the time, thinking you need to do X and to do Y," he said, missing the irony. "Sometimes, you just need to tell the world to go screw."

"I'm pretty sure we've established I've got nothing going on up here," Will joked, knocking on the side of his head.

A loud, reverberating echo ensued.

"You have to remember that I'm a bit of a hype man, here. She puts her pants on one leg at a time, just like anyone else.

Well, most of the time.


And it's not like anything happened over night, with a snap," he said, snapping his fingers. "It's just...doing what feels natural, and letting whatever that means take you there."

"A couple days, then. Alright, easy enough to lay low until then. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this causes.

Just pick whatever will be easiest to hide me for a few days - slash - something you're comfortable with in an airport, and I'll try to sit quietly 'till we're back home."

Something bright and neon and flashy that belongs in an '80s movie?"

I mean, it's just fabric. It's not rocket science," he grinned. "I'm pretty good at this sort of thing."

"You know, a jumper. Like, you know, a dressy thingy," he said, shifting into a black number, with a flirty little skater skirt ending just above the knees. Roughly zero protection from the elements, that.

"Is this a yank thing? That's a pinafore."

She reaches over to open a drawer and pulls out a pullover sweater.

"This is a proper jumper."
