Labor Day Birthday

[misslucysleeches]

Hooray for long holiday weekends that also involve cake, that's what Lucy and the gang at the Inkwell say! The place is done up in her favorite shades of green, with Lindsey Sterling on the jukebox and a variety of candy dishes along the bar. Along with the birthday girl herself, who seems to prefer sitting on surfaces to chairs. Come on in and take advantage of the chance to party!

"Companies are weird about their copyrights..." AL says with a shake of her head.

"Tom's gonna be 19, too." AL says. Tom Holland was cast for Marvel's as-yet-untitled Spider-Man movie. "Which, I think, is closer to the comics. Both Tobey and Andrew were both almost 30 when they took the part. Isn't Peter supposed to be in high school? Granted, the actors are usually older than the characters they play." She makes a side-eye at Tommy, whose actor was 20 when was cast.

AL grins. "Good luck on that. Data plays violin, which is why I called him over. He and I do duets occasionally. I play pan flute."

"Tell me about it -- copyrighting 'X-Men' I can see, but mutant? That's just a word!"

"Really?" Color Marty rather surprised. "I would have put both of them in their 20s. . .which, uh, is still too old, but yeah. Probably shouldn't say anything since Mike was in his 20s when he did BTTF. . ."

"Finding good teenage actors is a biiiig problem," Lucy says, flopping dramatically onto the bar. "Take it from the girl who's done a lot of amateur and semi-professional theater in her life. Still, wish Tom all the best. What adjective do you think he'll get? Spectacular?"

"Sounds nice and alliterative," Vic shrugs. "And yeah, for his origin story anyway. Comics Peter has been a mar -- well, he was married, insert Linkara rant on how he made a deal with the devil here. . ."

"We indulge in that sometimes too," Lucy grins back. "Marty and me, Marty and one of the Victors -- don't think I've done one with the trading cards though," she comments, glancing over.

"Could you not call us that?" Forgotten groans as Butterfly Boy fidgets and DG blushes.

"If you think a word is bad, how about a color?" AL asks. "The color of the Wicked Witch of the West's skin had to be changed to a different shade of green when Disney made Oz: The Great and Powerful because MGM holds the rights to the original movie." She has this slight feeling they've talked about this before but she can't be sure. Or maybe it was the alter ego talking with V. Mental shrug; oh well.

"I think Data's the only one musically inclined in my group," says AL with a shrug. Then she blinks. "Er...'the trading cards'?"

"Seriously?" Vic can't help but facepalm. "That's just -- I mean, I can understand copyright, but seriously, guys." (And I don't remember this tidbit at all, so it must have been someone else. *shrug*)

"Huh. With us, get my Secundus self over here and we could start a band," Marty says, then grins. "Because she's started collecting them like trading cards! You've got the violent one, the sciencey one, the almost-canon one. . ."

"That really applies more to your best friend than us," Forgotten retorts, waving his hand around the vast herd of Docs.
