you hear from our green friend lately?

[A pause.]

you know the one I mean. it's not weird we have more than one green friend is it? like

that I need to specify

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

I know which one you mean. If the other one were here, I think I'd have heard by now.

But thanks for the clarification.

[The next pause is on her side. Osborn hasn't been off her radar, but with one thing and another, he's been low priority for a while.

And then he dropped off the map.]

Nothing since the evacuations.

<AuTiR8>

[autir8]

evacuations? what you mean with that stuff back in January? son of a bitch. guess I'm not surprised he made sure he had a finger in that pie

I haven't heard a thing either. was thinking about doing a fly by.

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

That would be it. He was using it as a chance to shill his town.

Nothing noteworthy since then, though. At least nothing that I can speak to.

<AuTiR8>

[autir8]

ok so let's play it safe and assume he decided to stop hiding in plain sight

in which case I don't expect to find much by dropping in. but somebody might know something.

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

They might. It'd be a place to start.

You think he's laying low? Plotting something?

[It's certainly a possibility Natasha hasn't taken off the table, but with so many other disappearances...]

He hasn't really been the low profile type, though.

<AuTiR8>

[autir8]

no

but if there's a 1% chance we're wrong I don't want us getting caught with our pants down

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

Getting caught with my pants down isn't exactly in my MO.

<AuTiR8>

[autir8]

really? not even one time?

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

Now I think you're fishing for details.

<AuTiR8>

[autir8]

and I think I'll take that as a yes

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

Think whatever you want, Stark. I'm not letting you drag me down to your level on this one.

<AuTiR8>

[autir8]

no you wouldn't like it on my level. we know how to have fun.

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

I know how you have fun.

Doesn't have much to do with our goblin friend.

<AuTiR8>

[autir8]

are you trying to steer this conversation back on topic? that's so predictably unfun that at least I know I'm talking to the real you and not some joker who found you logged in on a public terminal

anyway I'm gonna have a look. maybe put a stick in the anthill and see what crawls out. I'll let you know if I find anything worth worrying about.

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

[Someone has to stay on topic, Stark. With Pepper not here that least Natasha.]

Watch your back, Tony. Even if Osborn isn't laying low somewhere, there are a lot of creepy crawlies in the holes around here.

<AuTiR8>

[autir8]

good call

I'll bring the raid

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

Just make sure you bring your head.

Is there a reason you were thinking of this now?

<AuTiR8>

[autir8]

not really. just got an itch I guess.

when it comes to bad guys it's just a hell of a lot safer to assume no news is bad news

<latrodectus>

[outstandingbalance]

Pretty much any news is bad news. Still, I don't think he's the type to do low profile.
