Cris softly snorted at Rowan's sending. [Well that is a relief. I can stop doing background checks on everyone you talk to.]
He looked past over Aishe to Kem when he heard his daughter's question and then his husband's reply. [Life is now never dull.]. Cris grinned and squeezed Rowan's hand beneath his own. [We are very fortunate.]
The question did not require a lot of deliberation. "Kill Thanos, fuck Yondu and marry Ultron. He seemed the most reasonable of the three."
Where Were We, Now? (attn: the usual suspects)
"Okay, Okay. Next one... Loki, Vision, or Black Widow?"
Rowan grimaced at Aishe, but since he was sitting to her right, it was his turn. He sipped his coffee and drummed the fingers of his free hand on the table top.
"Honestly, I'd like to fuck, marry, AND kill Loki but that's not the game is it." He blew a few stray red hairs away from his face.
"All right. Fuck Loki, marry Black Widow, and kill Vision. No. Marry Vision and kill Black Widow."
He leaned back in his chair and shrugged. "Either way Loki's getting fucked."
He turned to his right and grinned. "You're up, love. What's it going to be?"

Alex shook his head at Rowan and Aishe - again. "You have an almost unhealthy preoccupation with using superheroes as sex toys," he pointed out to Rowan. "I'd be creeped out by it if I didn't know you well enough to understand that at least some portion of your brain operates like that most of the time."
It did make him laugh; Rowan was full of playful innuendo, usually directed at Cris. Alex hadn't mastered that art yet and wasn't sure if he would.
"I think I'd agree with Cris. Kill Thanos, fuck Yondu, and marry Ultron."
He looked at Eiryk. "What's your call?"

Eiryk was regarding his empty coffee cup rather mournfully when Rue had his say. He just shook his head at the former pirate before placing a hand on Alex' knee and cheerfully leaning into his husband.
"I suspect it is a bigger more active part of his brain than we will ever know and I, for one, am just as happy to let the mystery remain.'
And then it was time to answer his own question. The next time they played this game he was going to work harder at these things, perhaps he needed a spreadsheet...
"I'm tempted to let Thanos live just to see people's reactions but I'm going to side with the majority. Thanos dies, fuck Yondu and see what kind of a relationship one can have with Ultron.â€

It was now his turn to choose a set of three. Alfarinn wondered if his goal should be to find three people who could not easily be used as a sex toy.
"Okay, all around good guy, Captain America, somewhat ego centric doctor with a savior complex,Doctor Strange, or a funny former convict, Ant Man?"
He figured these choices were more about personality and what you found most appealing short term and long term and what didn't matter at all.
Turning in his chair toward Pak, he said. "Okay, you have to spend eternity with one of them. Who would get on your nerves the least?"

"You're sure I can't just kill them all?â€
Pak said after a fairly significant pause. All three of those characters were ok for an hour or two but they'd all undoubtedly piss her off long term.
She scrunched her face up and absently twirled her coffee cup.
"Captain America has to go no matter how good he looks in tights. Too big of a boy scout.â€
It probably said something very psychologically significant about her that she seemed to choose who to kill first. Pak, however, choose not to dwell on that.
"I think screw Ant Man and marry Doctor Strange. No.. no... I think I just want his cape. Reverse that, if I'm marrying anyone they need to be a bit cuddler than Strange.â€

Kem realized that once the choices came around to him and Aishe, they might be scraping the bottom of the barrel for options. He figured he'd better try to plan his now.
While he mulled over his remaining choices, he answered the current one. This game wasn't too bad when you got over your initial reservations, he supposed.
"Marry Dr. Strange, because he sounds like he could keep things interesting. Fuck Captain America, and kill Ant Man. With a very large can of RAID."
He might have chosen differently, but he couldn't force himself to kill Captain America. It was Captain America!
But ugh - who was left at this point? Maybe he could skip his turn.

Aishe hummed at Alfarinn's suggestions. "Wow. No one truly detestable. And I'm absolutely marrying Captain America."
She fanned her face. "Especially if I can make him keep the beard and the broody vengeful look."
That left her with two uglier choices. She didn't want to kill either of the other two options, but she supposed this would be pointless if you actually wanted one of the options dead all the time.
"I'd fuck Ant Man, and then kill Dr. Strange and hope he could find a way to come back or something. I like him."
Also, Benedict Cumberbatch. Mmm.

Rowan almost barked a laugh out loud. [SHENANIGANS,] he sent to Cris. [Don't use me as your scapegoat. You'd background check them for the joy of it.]
He lifted his shoulders at Alex and Eiryk. "Honestly, with a game like this, since I don't know any of them personally I just have to consider their sexual potential."
Then Alfarinn laid a veritable bounty of options at his feet. He groaned when it came around to him. "The options are endless here. I mean, Cap with his strength and straight up sexiness. Ant Man and his ability to change his... size. And Dr. Strange just screams 'screw me in wild and crazy ways."
He tilted his head thoughtfully. "But in the end, I don't see myself really being able to use Cap's Shield for too much. Not that it can't be used, mind you, but it has limited functionality. So I guess we kill him. Screw Ant Man, because honestly he's a one-trick wonder, and that might get boring over time. So I'll marry Strange and hope for a lifetime of not getting bored."

Cris smiled at Rowan. [Perhaps]
He listened to his partner's very sound reasoning for his choices and then considered the three himself. None of the choices were awful and the results weren't going to give him nightmares.
"I feel that I cannot officially condone criminal activity so I will kill Ant Man. I have had good luck with being married to a doctor and, even though Dr.Strange does not compare to my personal miracle worker, I will choose him to marry. That means fucking Captain America."
He grinned. "It is a difficult job but someone must do it."

"So harsh," Alex said to Cris with a smile. "He said former convict!"
Having finished his coffee, he swirled the dregs around in the bottom of his cup and idly pondered going back to the store for a cookie. Aishe hadn't been lying when she'd said the best part about being a vampire was the ability to ingest endless sweets.
"I think I'd have to marry Ant-Man for some semblance of normalcy maybe, plus I'm a believer in second chances. Then I'd fuck Cap and kill Dr. Strange. Is eh even kill-able or does he just teleport to another spec or time?"
That debate was still up in the air, he supposed.

"Oh I agree Cris. Let's focus on former.â€
Some of the people at this table had some rather questionable pasts, himself included. although Alex earned a raised eyebrow for the normalcy reasoning, although Alex' definition of normal seemed to have a tendency to broaden when circumstances called for it so Eiryk wasn't too worried.
"I think maybe... no I'm going to agree with Alex on this one.â€
Eiryk was increasingly of the opinion that this whole conversation would go better with mead or at least another cup of coffee.

"Yes, Cris, that is terribly judgmental of you. " Alfarinn smiled. "Seated at a table with your pirate husband, his viking friend and your grave robbing daughter." He winked at Aishe who might take offense at his take on archaeology.
There wasn't a one of them, above the age of a hundred, who hadn't manage to break the law some how. If he thought about it, feeding used to very commonly be an assault on someone's probably non-consenting form even if that person enjoyed it and was not permanently harmed by the action.
"I think I would probably kill Antman also though." Alfarinn shrugged. "Despite him being a criminal. He is the least interesting to me. I would fuck Dr. Strange and then marry Captain America. We could then work on 'Making America Great Again' the correct way." Deep down he was an idealist. It was why he separated from Anantya and formed Evenhet with his sister. He could see that Captain America was always just trying to protect his people and his country and that was something he could get behind.
"Okay, Pak, Here is your chance to get in some of your favorites to choose from."

"The next time we play this game I'm going second.â€
Pak grumbled under her breath. She debated jumping ship to DC, she even had a trio picked out, but ultimately decided that wasn't quite fair. If nothing else there just weren't quite as many DC movies, they weren't as much fun, and she really disliked Superman.
"How about Star Lord, Gamora and... Quicksilver?â€
Not that she had an answer to the question yet. Nope... well maybe an idea... right now Pak was just happy to find three characters that hadn't been abused yet.

Kem groaned at Pak's choices and leaned forward, letting his forehead hit the table with an audible thump.
"I'm not even going to know who to choose next." It wasn't entirely true, he did have his three picked. He thought. But he'd struggled to come up with ones they hadn't used already. He hoped Aishe had a plan.
He rolled his head to the side, looked up at Pak, and mumbled, his voice muffled by the table, "Marry Gamora, fuck Quicksilver, and kill Star Lord because he's kind of arrogant and annoying."
It was short and sweet, but he knew Aishe and Rowan were probably going to overshare. Well. At least one of them was.

Aishe laughed at Alfarinn until she realized he'd lumped her in with the criminals. "Hey wait! That's not ok! I'm Indiana Jones!"
Kem lifted his head up from the table long enough to mutter, "I thought 'you are Aishe' tonight." He put it back down with a little smirk.
Aishe poked him gently. "Very funny."
Rolling her eyes, she thought about Pak's options. "Gamora kind of scares me, honestly. I think I'd kill her, fuck Star Lord, and marry Quicksilver."
Sadly, there wasn't really anyone in this group who really deserved to die in the many ways she could envision Thanos kicking the bucket.

Rowan couldn't hide his mirth at the gentle ribbing Cris took. He was in charge of everything every day, used to being unquestioned. It was kind of amusing to see this Cris, the one who could easily kick back, give as good as he got, and just relax with his friends. Rowan didn't take these times for granted.
What he had taken for granted, though, was having someone in the group who could be creatively (and enjoyably) murdered, as well as having someone to use in a risque manner.
"You're sure I can't just fuck them all? I'm willing. I mean someone should do it."
He looked around. "No? Ok fine. I'll marry Quicksilver because he's the most interesting. And unique. Then I suppose I'd fuck Gamora. And kill Star Lord."
Nothing personal. But of them all, Star Lord was the least exciting.

Cris shrugged unapologetically to Eiryk about the former part of the former criminal label given to Ant Man. They only had three choices after all.
He chuckled softly at Kem when he managed to get in a witty comment about Aishe's retort about being Indiana Jones instead of a grave robber which left her not being 'I am Aishe'.
Rowan commented about screwing everyone and Cris raised his eyebrows and shook his head.
"I think I will marry Gamora because she is interesting." Who were the other two again? Quicksilver and...Starlord. "Fuck Quicksilver and kill Starlord." He was annoyingly cocky without the talent to back it up, at least in the movies. He did seem to have leadership potential and possibly a good heart but the attitude would get on his nerves. Plus, Chris Pratt just seemed to leave him flat. Not funny enough for a supposedly funny guy and not active enough to be a good action hero.

"Then I think I'd fuck Gamora and marry Quicksilver. But honestly I could go either way on those two. I just know who I'd kill."
He turned to Eiryk. "What about you? Any reason not to kill Star Lord?" Aishe aside, they'd all chosen that option so far.
