Tony's Phone Message

[arrogantalloy]

 

"Looks like you've missed me. Don't feel bad, I'm kind of a busy guy. If you need to leave me a message. Press 1 and talk, I'll get back to you when I notice. If you're calling because you need something built or repaired, go on and press 2 and be directed to the Stark Mobile Solutions line, I'll probably get back to that quicker."

Voice: Absurd o'clock in the morning

[itsjustdust]

[Forgive him, he got the idea this was a GOOD time of day somehow.]

So, slowly I make my way through pretty much everyone I know, and I figured I might as well prod you too.

Hiya.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony replies right away sounding wide awake, as he tinkers with various electronics with tools from his re-appropriated tool box]

Uh, well. Guess I should feel touched you want to prod me? So, there's nothing wrong?

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

....Now I didn't say anything about that... but I really don't want to bug the same person over and over again is all.

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

So, there is something wrong?

And if you're worried about bugging Steve, don't be. He's been traveling me since he showed up here. Believe me, you couldn't bug him.

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

Then I'll just have to poke at him next time I can't sleep.

You probably missed it, but I've been stuck in a pitch black cave for like, a week now with no light of my own and a rotating companion or two.

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

Hmm. Bad luck there. Kind of been there before, sort or not fun. But at least no one's threatening to kill you.

Trying to find your way out, I hope.

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

About that not-trying-to-kill-me thing... How sure about that are you because I've been nearly eaten twice, electro-jolted three times, and been nearly drowned once.

But yes. Out would be excellent.

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

Well, I just had to deal with guys with guns. So this is all new to me, but hey, still alive top o the class there.

Well, keep looking, you can do it.

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

[He gave a faint laugh at that. it sounded badly stressed.]

I intend to. No way I'm staying in here longer than I have to.

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

When you get out. I'll find a way to shout you a drink.

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

[And now you have a horribly confused ninja Tony.]

To do what?!

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

Please tell me your world have alcohol?

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

Of course it does, but what does that have to do with shouting it at me?

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

Wow, I was kind of hoping that was universal. I meant I'd pay for it.

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

...People have some weird abilities back home okay?

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

And none of them involve buying someone else a drink?

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

Never said that, but when one of your first two Hokage could call endless amounts of water out of nowhere, it leaves a guy a little confused what the phrase 'shout you a drink' should mean.

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

Okay. Yeah, that would make it kind of confusing.

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

Exactly, so I think it totally made sense that I, you know, made note of it.

But thanks for the thought?

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

Well, if there's one thing I can do. It's give a lot of thought to something.... Mostly.

But hey, there's always next time.

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

I'll just hold you to getting me alcohol sometime if we meet in person again.

...


If my sensei doesn't somehow manage to intercept it anyway.

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

Sounds like a plan.

And if you ever need help ducking authority figures. Well, I have a degree in that.

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

....

That actually sounds really really useful Tony. Thanks.

Voice:

[arrogantalloy]

People really need to not so surprised when that happens.

But hey, no problem.

Voice:

[itsjustdust]

I wasn't surprised, just... thinking about it.

Talk to you later, yeah?
