Tony's Phone Message

"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."

It's a question out of curiosity due to the difference in culture. [And then some, but he's not revealing that.] Since you were the one who mentioned this to me, I thought you were the best person to ask.

You mentioned the men, though not the women. ... I assume this was the same for them though?

From what I've noticed, women are...

[He pauses as he thinks of a way to word it.]

Well, if Columbus was a woman, she wouldn't have had a problem finding Indi- They seem more interested in exploring? That and it's the norm for women to form very tight nit social groups. So... You know I really don't actually know that much about women right? Most of the ones that I've known that way, well I don't remember them, and they love telling everyone about me. That's pretty much where most of my relationships end.

... I think you've made your point about not knowing much about women. [If that rambling is anything to go by.]

So essentially it's simply because men dislike other men having affections for them. [That seems to be oversimplifying it to him.] Which is a mindset that persisted for a long time.

Well, I think for the most part it's like most things, it's someone interested in them, that they aren't interested in. Can't imagine people generally enjoy that, it's just that with men, some of them take offence to it. Still not entirely sure why.

[His dad might not have been the best father, but he raised a pretty open minded son...Somehow.]

[Well he still doesn't understand, but then again, he's never been able to understand other people in general, only those he's really close to, much less those from a completely different culture.]

I see. [Uh.

So what else can he say.

... He'll probably chalk it up to Earth things, just like going out for candy during Halloween and Halloween itself. Even if the topic hits so close to home after events earlier in the month.]

I suppose that's all I needed to know.

So. Care to elaborate on this sudden train of thought that you felt like going out of your way to call me, of all people, with a serious voice?

Curiosity about Earth culture. There's a lot I don't know about people from that world, even if there are a lot here.

Apparently you people let your children leave your houses during Halloween night in order to ask for candy.

[Did he say that to change the subject? YES.]

Yeah, but why call me?

[He does know something is up, he's not that socially inept]

Well, not all our children. Not everyone get's into it like America. And for those who did get to do that. [Tony wasn't one of those kids] They usually go with their parents, or in a group with an adult while dressed as ... Well anything really.

Because you were the first person to ever mention that kind of... issue to me. Before that, I didn't even know about it.

[And that's the honest, Etro-damned truth. And he sounds kinda tired just saying it.]

Steve could have explained it better than me. What with that down-to-Earth charm he was born with and all, and you actually like talking to him.

[DAMN IT why did he have to bring him up. why why why whylaiufriazkldskjlafsdjkv,dsf]

He has enough going on right now, considering he's still recovering. [Said as carefully as possible, despite being even MORE tired now.]

I'm with him every day. All he's doing is scabbing over and feeding me, believe me neither of those two require a great deal of mental effort.

[Heavy sighing.] Fine then. I'll ask him later.

[Nnnnno he wont.]

Why do I feel like something's happened between you two? Like a fight over who has the babiest face?

Forget it, you've made it clear you're not the right person to call.

[Ends the call right there.]
