Staying awake for nearly 48 hours was nothing new to Janet. She had been a graduate student, once, not too long ago, and there was a time right before her dissertations were due that she stayed awake for nearly five days on nothing but coffee grinds and a prayer. Everyone had just finished setting up for the carnival-- food stands, a stage, everything colorfully decorated, and some reporters hanging around-- and Jan, in all of her OCD glory was triple checking every piece of wood, nail, and screw.

It wasn't terribly large but there were a fair number of booths and people who couldn't wait to dunk, watch eat pie, or kiss some of their city's finest. Janet was pretty sure that every old lady in the city would give their meds and cane to have a chance to kiss Tony Stark.

Tiredness was starting to hit her but it was overwhelmed by anxiety. If anything went wrong, it was going to be completely on her. So far, so good but she didn't want to jinx it.

Jan took a sip of her eighteenth cup of coffee and said a little prayer to any deity listening.

[Pete rolls his eyes.]

Nobody said that.

[Women are such drama queens.]

[she'd be pleased that you acknowledge that she's a woman! She gets sick of being called "boyish" all the time]

But if the pies aren't good...

[Nah, Pete can tell with the Asians.]

Nobody said that neither. That's what you get for eavesdroppin'.

"Eavesdropping" is a little harsh, Pete. Not like it was a private conversation.

[Jono says quickly; the girl looks on the verge of tears for whatever reason and such things make him panicky.]

And Monet's not my girl, by the way. She's my friend, is all.

[It needs clarification.]

[Pete is just grumpy. He probably needs more pie.]

Sure, pal, sure.

[Someone is doth protesting too much...]

I'm serious! We went to school together, that's it.

[This is very important to make clear, for some reason.]

I hear ya.

[But he doesn't believe you.]

You know, I should get back on beat...

[If Monet gets wind of this she will never let it go.]

Carnage was 'ported back in last night; can't be too careful. I'll leave you to it.

[Nods towards the pies. Have fun, Pete.]
