You won’t be so smug when I’m enjoying a large fry and chocolate milkshake without you!

[starkinternship]

rude!
i'll remember that next time i make homemade ice cream

[engineous]

You make homemade ice cream? Since when?

[starkinternship]

since i was like six
ice cream
cookies
cake
bread
pretzels
i told you - science you can eat

[engineous]

Pretzels? That’s a new one. But yeah, cooking as chemistry clicks for you. I still end up burning things if I don’t pay attention.

[starkinternship]

timers will save you almost every time
microwave timer, phone timer, FRIDAY...

[ unless FRIDAY enjoys Tony burning things, then don't use her ]

[engineous]

You underestimate my ability to ignore timers when I'm hyperfocused.

[starkinternship]

you're worse than me
you want to come over to make ice cream don't you?

[ they'd have to go to Aunt May's - he can't do ice cream in the dorm. ]

[engineous]

I wouldn't say no to it if you asked.

[starkinternship]

hmm - i wonder if i have enough random things laying about that i could make an ice cream maker in my dorm...
i mean - if i did, we'd have to sit on the floor rolling it around for like an hour
old school two coffee cans, salt and ice
i don't have an ice cream machine in here

[engineous]

I'm honestly a little shocked that you and Ned haven't already done this, I can imagine you two sitting on the floor and passing it back and forth while talking nerd talk.

[starkinternship]

we're usually too impatient so we just go over to the student center or hit a little bodega or something
i think Ned did like one of those delivery apps once too
homemade stuff is for when you're not in a hurry

but, for the record, ice cream or not, i'm not gonna say 'no' if you decide you wanna swing by

[engineous]

That's a good point. Homemade ice cream feels like something you'd make on a summer day when you're just lazing around. I bet we could rig up something for hammock swinging and ice cream churning.

Maybe I will, but I won't confirm or deny so you stay on your toes.

[starkinternship]

or we can just use a regular ole ice cream maker
cuisinart makes a p simple household one
and if we're gonna built a whole set-up... you know we're putting a motor on that thing

[engineous]

I was thinking something more off-grid that converts the hammock swinging into a churning action, but that's also working on the assumption you're comfortably pushing yourself with a foot.

[starkinternship]

or pulling with a bit of webbing

[ spider solutions! ]

[engineous]

So you're volunteering to be the power source, perfect.

[starkinternship]

we can take turns.
you can pull webbing too.

[engineous]

If we lay side by side and each stick an arm out, we'd have it easy holding one web each.

[starkinternship]

we could
fair warning that the amount of ice cream we can make this way is kinda limited

[engineous]

Gonna be honest, babe. I forgot this was an ice cream making scheme.

[starkinternship]

i dunno if that means you have a serious one-track mind and you went into the gutter or if you just got caught up in the idea of building something

[ the 2nd he finds absolutely adorable, btw ]

[engineous]

The second one. Were we talking about sex at some point?

[starkinternship]

see, if i asked that, you'd say something like, 'it's always about sex'

[engineous]

Maybe, but also we're sort of to the point where it isn't all about sex.
