I have not, are they a blues group?

I sat on my sofa, drank wine, and listened to documentaries. I did pass out candy to trick or treaters, so. I wasn't the asshole who just turned off all the lights.

... what is an Avengersaurus?

From:

For real, Matt? Not a blues at all, no. But, I mean, I have some lyrics you really need to hear. [And she sounds delighted about it.] 'I'm the devil who's searching for redemption and I'm a lawyer who's searching for redemption'? It's like the song was made for you.

You could have worn a sheet at least. A guy going through the streets wearing a sheet without the holes on his eyes would actually be kinda creepy.

So, there's these inflatable dinosaur costumes that became pretty popular, right? Some friends of mine and I bought the same t-rex costume and personalized them each as an Avenger. It was stupidly fun.

From:

streetlevel

Huh. Now I'm just paranoid they somehow know my secret identity. Since of course it is all about me.

I was in sweats and slightly drunk, it was an excellent night of hermiting.

In my mind it was one dinosaur with all the Avengers somehow represented on it. Like a weird freak transporter accident combining bodies in a prehistoric way.

From:

hawk_shot

It gets very slutty, so go figure. Maybe I should change my ringtone for you?

Not under my watch anymore, Murdock. Say goodbye to boring Halloween nights from now on.

Don't tempt me to update my Avengersaurus costume, 'cause I will. But, in all seriousness, nothing beats getting costumes and going out as a group with friends.

From:

streetlevel

I'd have to hear it before deeming it trumps Hozier.

Foggy would always try to get me to go to parties. I'd never make the time. Too busy being Daredevil.

From:

hawk_shot

Who knows? Maybe you'll start playing it as you fight bad guys.

Matt, even Daredevil is allowed to take an hour a night to have some fun. After you've taken a year off, you have to admit that that's true.

From:

streetlevel

I'm not gonna be the asshole who brings his own theme song to a fight.

It's easier to take a year than an hour, oddly. I'm not great at balance. Tend to be all or nothing.

From:

hawk_shot

It can be a whole playlist! You have to admit it would make things extra cool.

You could always make this your belated New Year's resolution, Matt.

From:

streetlevel

That sounds more like something that guy with the cape would do. Strange?

What if my resolution was to eat more tacos instead?

From:

hawk_shot

Doctor Strange? I don't know. You probably don't know it, but his outfit is flashy. Not so sure about his style, aside from the flying part.

You wanna scare your enemies with your hellish farts?

From:

streetlevel

I've heard his outfit is ridiculous. And flashy.

Some of our digestive systems can handle tacos.

From:

hawk_shot

Blues and reds and a cape that looks like kinda patchwork inside? I don't know, I haven't paid too much attention. But it seems to be alive, it's kinda crazy.

Even the real spicy ones?

From:

streetlevel

What is it with most vigilantes and primary colors? [Says the man in red. A bit bitterly.] Maybe the narcissism of vigilantes and wearing those colors will be a chapter in Heather's new book.

Well. Maybe they won't all be super spicy.

From:

hawk_shot

Glad I'm not making it into that chapter. [Not that she'd never endured people teasing her over her obsession with purple.] So, she's actually writing it? I didn't think she was much of a fan lately.

Oh, no. The resolution demands you go all in for this, Matt.

From:

streetlevel

Oh, I'm fairly certain she's still writing it. I doubt it'll say anything complimentary about the psyches of vigilantes, but as far as I know, she's still writing it.

A taco doesn't have to be super spicy to be a taco. Don't pigeonhole tacos, Kate.

From:

hawk_shot

You need to sit her down to watch the Wakanda Forever documentary. There's no way people don't like heroes after watching that.

But resolutions are supposed to be hard, Matthew! What kinda New Year's resolution is 'ugh, oh my God, I'm gonna eat more ice cream this year'. [She makes a mocking kind of voice.]

From:

streetlevel

I need to be way more in her good graces to make that suggestion. Right now though I'll just take everyone coming out of this alive.

Who says resolutions have to be hard? Or even good for us?

From:

hawk_shot

Yeah, one step at the time, huh? [She was silent for a moment.] Remember what we said about taking a break after tonight? If we can afford it? Take her somewhere nice. Go away for a weekend or something.

Exactly. Endure what real spice tacos will do to your body, Matt.

From:

streetlevel

Yeah. Maybe. God knows she deserves it. ... what about you? What will your imaginary break look like?

If you keep being mean to my stomach I'm not sharing my ice cream with you any longer.

From:

hawk_shot

You two. And, I mean this with love, Matt. But you need to get your shit together and pull a good boyfriend move. [Just please don't do something crazy and get engaged. Don't pull a bomb that will destroy Kate's heart. Not without a warning first.] ... I don't know. [Not pole dancing with her friend anymore, apparently.] I might stay in my pyjamas the whole weekend and feed my bedbugs.

I'm not being mean! You brought tacos to the equation! And keeping your ice cream hostage is meaner.

From:

streetlevel

It matters to be a good friend, too. We have that class to go to first. After that, if you don't have friends you'll see, then I'm sending Kirsten over to take you out. A class is only an hour or two, and I know Kirsten moves into friend mode fast, so. I can do both.

You made tacos into a painful experience, which is wrong on so many levels.

From:

hawk_shot

[He is such an idiot. An idiot that will sabotage his relationship just because he is incredibly loyal to his friends, isn't he? God, she wants both to kiss him and smack him.]

You sure Kirsten doesn't want to come to pole dancing too? I feel like it's the kinda thing that would be right up her alley. Unless there's someone in the firm that still wants to be the serious face of the company.

There's still quesadillas and nachos, Matt. Don't be a baby.

From:

streetlevel

She might. You can strip and wear a serious face. [Is this a call for a chaperone? ... is that a bad idea if so?] Anyway, there's nothing funny about the amount of core strength pole dancing requires. I'm not saying it matters in gaining legal clients, but I'm not laughing at someone who dances on a pole all day.

I'm advocating on behalf of tacos, Kate. To be all the way to be.

I'm sure you could handle more spice than me, though.

From:

hawk_shot

Do you think you'd dare to try high heels if my trans friend lent you a pair? She's probably your size. Because, I mean, if you're cool with the firm approaching pole dancing, I think you guys have a total new angle for advertising here. Celebrating the female gaze, you know?

Oh, are you pulling your lawyer weight on behalf of tacos now?

... I haven't even thought of that. Spice is probably a little overwhelming to you, isn't it?

From:

streetlevel

I have nothing against high heels from a crowd perspective, I just don't want to put my feet through that. That sounds miserable. Can't I just hire your friend and admire them to do it for me? Deep commentary on how nobody should wear high heels. I'm all for that. Sneakers and loafers all around.

I will defend birria to my dying legal breath.

I can't handle an extreme, no. A well-balanced curry? Absolutely. But even those if they're meant to be on fire will make me cry. I'll eat a well-made one even if it hurts, but those challenges for the sake of it? Fuck no.

And my general spice tolerance level isn't 'ghost pepper fuck your shit' level.
