Happy Birthday Mary Steenburgen and Jules Verne!

*Docs blow noisemakers*
They insisted that I honor their birthdays in some way, so. . . .
-D: Jules Verne is one of our idols! The man made us what we are today!-
-VD: *grin* Besides, we find it amusing that Clara's birthdate matches up with his.-
I know, weird huh? Anyway, happy birthday to the both of them. :D Many more to Mary too.

Okay, I admit it -- I really posted this on the 10th, two days late. It slipped my mind and the Docs gave me hell about it. So, using LJ's time-manipulating processes, here it is on the 8th.

We've got an odd situation here. . . .

My OckDoc has been hanging around my head lately. I think he's on the verge of becoming a muse.
-MDC: *throwing things at my head* No new muses! NO! NO!-
*ducking* And MiniDamosCrawler is not happy about that.
-DW: *startled* What is his problem?!-
Well, you see, if OckDoc joins the crew, he'd be a Marvel muse as well.
-MDC: *tantruming* I'M THE MARVEL MUSE! NOT HIM! ME! NO NEW MU--
*a large metal claw thunks down on top of him*
O.O You crushed him!
-OckDoc: No I didn't. I just wanted to shut him up.-
-DW: *grin* I like you.-
*MDC bimfs out and tries to attack OckDoc's face, OckDoc swats him away*
-D: You know why you stick in her mind, right?-
-OckDoc: *sigh* The whole "shirtless/trench coat" thing. I know. *pauses* Yes, I know wearing a coat is more convenient than a coat and a shirt, Jules, we were just saying. . . .-
-M: It'll be weird to have a muse who has conversations with himself.-
-MDC: *wailing* HE'S NOT A MUSE!-
-VD: *playfully* Just what we need, another us. Do you come with a Marty and Jennifer too?-
*A Marty swoops over their heads*
-VD2: Aack! Marty, be careful!-
-VM: *totally confused* I'm on the ground!-
-Flying Marty: Hi! *hovers in front of them in a harness with two large wings*-
-Vampires: O.o-
Ah, yes, I've got it in my head Marty should be The Vulture. *blush*
-VM:. . . That's pretty cool.-
-VD: Is Jennifer super?-
I'm still working on that.
-MDC: *bimfing back* HE CAN'T HAVE SPIDEY! THAT'S MINE!-
-OckDoc: *annoyed* Calm down, will you?! *tentacles "hiss" menacingly*-
Okay, everyone, just RELAX! Jeezaloo. . . .
-M2: She's got five tons of drawings planned for you, OckDoc.-
-OckDoc: *as tentacles nod* We've heard.-
*lightbulb* Drawings. . . . I don't have a muse of fanart. . . .
-MDC: *still enraged* SPIDEY'S MINE! HE -- what?-
OckDoc, you wouldn't mind being a fanart muse, would you?
-OckDoc: Not at all. *grinning at upper right* Verne would like that very much. *Verne nods*-
Okay then, I guess you're the muse of fanart. Your designation shall be OD.
-VD: And before you say anything, think about what my designation could stand for.-
-OD: Ah, good point.-
