022: [ voice ] The Hills Are Alive

[ there's a sound of pages rustling, as though someone is flipping through something. maybe a book, maybe a magazine. Then comes soft humming, before Taxon is treated to: ]

Girls in white dresses with no stupid sashes
Men with their briefs hanging low on their package
Rappers and singers glowing bright with their blings
These are a few of my favorite things

Parties and soirees and Oscar night fever
Scandals and horrors and fashion disasters
Collections for winter and summer and spring
These are a few of my favorite things!

When there're glitches, those damn bitches,
When I'm bored as hell
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I do feel sooooooo swelllllllllllllllllllll.

[ silence. then the sound of someone chuckling. ] Good thing my tablet's turned off--

--oh, crap.

[ ooc | song is a modified version of The Sound of Music's My Favorite Things. I DO NOT APOLOGIZE. ...although I should because tags will be slow until Saturday :( I just can't resist! ]

...even my voice?

[ why yes, she's open to compliments, since others have already pointed out how not-nice her voice is. ]

Even that. I would not sign you to a record deal, but I found it most pleasant.

Aww! You're sweet, Herc. For that, I take back every mean thing I ever said about you.

[There is smugness in Herc's voice]

I am glad you have finally come around.

Well. Really not that hard to get into my good graces, actually.

And yet it had been vexing me for so long.

Not like you were actively seeking for it, were you?

Perhaps I was.

Didn't really feel it.

Did I not apologize three times over when I thought you had been offended?

Pfft, you call that trying to get into my good graces?

Should I have bought you flowers?

It's a start. Although I wouldn't be against the idea of someone giving me branded bags and shoes as well.

And who is the lady's designer of choice?

[He has spent more than enough time around Janet Van Dyne to have picked up on these sort of things.]

You know what I also like, Herc? Men who take the initiative to find it out for themselves.

[ she's mostly teasing, but hey, if she can get something out of this, the better! ]

...am I supposed to rifle through your wardrobe to discover this?

No, pfft. Like you know where I live.

Then how am I to discover this of my own initiative?

I don't know. By asking around?

A fair enough proposal.

Be patient, fair maiden. But I shall not take too long.

Oh, please don't, kind sir - or else I shall hate you forever.

And we can hardly have that.

Not really. If you know what's good for you.

I believe the phrase is... what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
