I think you're the bee's knees?

That's exactly what I said!

Really? I don't know why I thought it sounded like something else. One of those days, I guess.

Exactly!

...What did you think I said? Whatever it was, it wasn't meant to be rude or involve anything outside of the scope of 'normal', if that's even a thing.

I'm... not even sure. Something about the Bee Gees. Hence the confusion.

The Bee Gees are TOTALLY normal. Not many people know that I was the fifth Bee Gee.

I don't know about normal, but Saturday Night Fever wasn't bad. ['Wasn't bad'. a.k.a. code for 'is a guilty pleasure that ranks right up there with Ben & Jerry'.]

Do you know where the ice cream store is? I believe they have thirty one flavors for sale. [Perhaps if he speaks a little slower this time, the woman will understand. The tiny electronic map Stark gave him is not being helpful.]

Baskin Robbins? Oh, sure. There's one a couple blocks-- [She pauses from fiddling with her phone (which explains why she didn't exactly hear him) to look up. And then look up again because there's a chest where she was expecting a face to be.] ...up.

[Sorry, Thor. she's just... going to stare for a moment. Because.] Wow, you're tall.

That name does seem familiar, my lady. [He waits, patiently, while she finishes starting. It is not an unusual reaction; humans seem overly preoccupied with his height, but Thor supposes he cannot blame them.]

Which way would the place be?

[Most humans aren't used to people quite so tall. Or so formal. 'My lady'? Is this guy serious? She's tempted to ask, but her brain-to-mouth filter is working for the moment (fortunately) and she manages to keep the question from flying out.]

Um... [She glances around for a moment to get her bearings and finally points off to the right.] That way, I think. Past the Panera. I'm going in that direction anyway; I could show you, if you want.

I SAAAAID, Blade and Blondie, Sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

(Yeah, because we're 12.)

13 year olds sing it too!

(Yes, but they at least have more reason than "They're names are alliterative")

But they ARE!

(The name WE gave her is. Do we even remember her real name?)

...You mean Blondie isn't it?

(Nope)

Then..uh..no?

[But surely they are? Thor has seen video and pictures of the game that Americans call basketball, and some of the players are taller than himself. Not to mention the one that is played with the hide of a pig.]

I would be pleased to walk with you, if indeed we are traveling the same path. [He offers an arm, should she wish to hold it for safety.] Are you a native of this city?

SEEE! She's SPEECHLESS! She totally has a CRUSH!

(Very firmly in the fifth grade here, yep.)

[Oh, right. But those guys don't typically go out walking among the rest of the common folk; that's why they invented chauffeurs.]

It's on my way, really. Wouldn't want you getting more turned around than you already are. [He's... holding out his arm. Well. That's-- ...new. She's not quite sure what to do, but doesn't want to seem rude, so she curls a hand over the crook of his arm.] New York? Oh, yeah, born and raised. I live in LA now, just in town visiting. You? [Because he's obviously not from around here.]

Totally not how that works, hate to tell you.

Then how DOES it work, Blondie??? Because I've really just been kinda lucky enough to fall into lots of sex.

(And nobody knows why. Really. Nobody can figure it out.)

You could stop being obnoxious, for a start. And please, King wasn't even lucky enough to fall into this.

[Not that he was ever actually interested, if you ask her. And it's Deadpool, so no he really can't stop being obnoxious, but it's a nice pipe dream. As for the rest... we got nothin', either. Except -- sooooooooo not happening, Wade.]

That's cause he hit it! But who pulls up quick to retrieve it??? Cute Blondie like you with an Olivia Wilde face? Guys GOTTA be jumping you all over the place around here!

Me? Obnoxious? Pff, I just say what everyone wants to say but won't. I'm the id of the comic world!

He did not. [Not in the game, anyway.] And what are you even talking about -- no one's retrieving anything, I'm not a toy.

Id with an ego. And a mouth. Yes, obnoxious.

Baby Got Back? Most overplayed super oldschool rap song played at wedding for reasons nobody quite understands?

Awww...thought you liked me, Blondie!

Super old-school rap's not really my thing.

Uh... not especially, no. [Really, DP, when has she ever given you that impression?]

[Chauffeurs? Pfft. Thor has two strong legs, and if the terrain makes walking difficult, he can always summon Mjnolir and fly to his desired location.

He also looks pleased when the blonde acquiesces to being his guide.]

I live out of town, but am pleased to visit this wondrous city when I can.

[There are advantages to being a god. It's too bad Mjolnir doesn't offer complimentary beverage and snack service, but hey -- can't have everything.

She has to chuckle a bit as he says he's from out of town. Because that much is obvious. Oh, Thor.]

I gathered that much. You... don't act like your typical New Yorker, no offense. [She glances around as they walk.] I guess it is pretty impressive if it's not your home turf, or hasn't been.

What is a typical New Yorker? [He has not spent nearly enough time in America to differentiate cultural differences between cities and regions yet.]
