Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled! These unfilled profiles will not be posted live.
Characters either like or dislike others CHIRPER profiles. These responses are private between the characters involved.

For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

I would LOVE a tour.
There's honestly not enough time in the day to be a massive nerd.
Someone must've been here and vanished, but the building stayed?
That seems to happen sometimes.

Edited 2025-06-18 19:36 (UTC)

Seems to be the case. It's also massive- there shouldn't be this many rooms. Even stranger: there's a few rooms I can't find a door to.

Ohhhh, that sounds kinda fun.
Maybe it's like an escape room, but backwards. You gotta figure your way IN.

Less escape room and more just “breaking and entering,” isn’t it?

... Breaking and entering is a gray area in this occasion.
I mean, nobody lives there, right?

...

Right?

I guess Viktor and I are the closest to "living" there, and I think we should go for it.

Then lets go for it! And we can do some science while we're at it.

As a treat.

What kind do you tinker with? Because the equipment here is fairly specific.

Oh, you know...
A little of this, a little of that.
I worked with some pretty advanced technology under my Stark Internship.
Robotics and nanotechnology, coding and artificial intelligence
you name it, I might've done it.

[!!!!!]

Oh! That's perfect! You're exactly the kind of person I've been looking for!

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

It is? I am? You were?

[for what is the question, he must know]

I am! I'm looking to do a project involving nanotechnology and artificial intelligence. I've been working on coding but I've only got a few months of experience in it now, and you sound like you've had much more than that.

How about you to come to S.T.A.R. labs now, if you have a few hours? Easier to show you my whiteboards than explain it all over text.

Were you planning to extend the same invitation to me?

[ do not coerce an impressionable 18-year-old into helping you without supervision, Jayce. you do not count as supervision ]

[Ah, fuck.]

Didn't know you wanted an invite that badly, Harold.

This is no slight to Mr. Parker, but I am reluctant to let a recent high school graduate work on such a delicate project without close supervision.

[Oh, he can play this game.]

Of course. You're free to show up whenever you want, Harold. After all, the door's not locked. Should I let you and Peter decide when you have time to closely supervise him?

I'm entirely at your disposal, Mr. Talis. For this and for other matters.

You know how honored I am for you to say such a thing. If you thought I wasn't including you on purpose, that's a lack of clarity on my part. You're always welcome here, Harold.

[Harold, Harold, Harold.]

I'll be there ASAP!

[Perhaps surprisingly fast, for how long travel usually takes around here.

It's fine. But before that-]

And I promise I've got more credentials than high school! 😖

[He just. Doesn't explain that he was a superhero who worked with all kinds of crazy shit. It's fine. He'll tell everyone sooner or later. Probably.]

Edited 2025-07-07 20:02 (UTC)

I believe your credentials. But I'm sorry, Peter; unless Harold's around, I guess I'm not allowed to talk shop with you. I didn't know he was your guardian.

[Intentional phrasing? Absolutely. He's not above it.]

Guardian?????????
I don't have a guardian!
I'm a legal adult!

I apologize, Mr. Parker. You've unwittingly stepped into a professional disagreement between Mr. Talis and myself. The project he's mentioned is exceedingly dangerous and untested. It's not my intent to prevent you from doing anything, only to make a point to Mr. Talis that, having failed to address my reservations, I am not sanguine with him recruiting a young adult to assist without informing you of the nature of the project.

I appreciate the worry, Mr. Finch.
But this whole place tends to be kind of dangerous, so I'm not too worried.
And you shouldn't worry too much about me, either. I can handle it.

[... if you knew the shit he had been up to from ages 14 and 18, you'd have a stroke

but he shan't admit it!!!!]

I'm guessing he's gonna explain the nature of the project when I show up?

Bold assumptions to make about a project you haven't seen yet, and you act like I'd be trapping him into getting involved. That's what the talk was going to be about. Peter's free to disengage entirely, if he was uninterested or didn't trust his personal safety.
