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

[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.

[Today is a boring day. He would've thought breeding a whale and a cat would be more exciting than it actually is, but. You know what? It's kind of fucking boring. So that's why he's going through his contacts and-

Ah! Yes. Ironman.]

Yo. Yo Ironman. Wassup? Long time no see. How's it hangin'? Not too low, I hope. That's a sign of old age.

Voice

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[You two probably don't really know each other, but that's okay. He's just a fan is all, you're probably used to dealing with fans.]

So I been wonderin', what's it like bein' stuck in a big, heavy metal suit all day long? Does it get all hot 'n there? How d'ya go to the bathroom?

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

[arrogantalloy]

Okay, ignoring that last part. Just call me Tony, can't say too much is 'up' though. Except maybe a metal bird.

Something I can help you with?

Voice

[arrogantalloy]

Well, I'm never really stuck in it, there are redundancies in place so I can always get out of it. So there is that. But no, it doesn't get hot, it's fully air conditioned and I have a filtration system, so going to the bathroom isn't really an issue either.

[He sounds kind of rehearsed like he's had to answer these questions a lot.]

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

[plushaeusrumpified]

Naaah, I think I wanna stick with Ironman. Oh and lemme just say, you can iron me any day, man. [Wonk.]

Anyway, nah. Just felt bored, so I decided to see how life's treating you.

Voice

[arrogantalloy]

Flattering offer, really. But not sure if I'll take you up on that right now.

Well, I've lost my Star Spangles, and our pet teenager. But other than that, pretty peachy for a guy who's been dragged into another world without his money or suit.

Voice;

[starspangledavenger]

Where are you? Neither you or Thor have replied to my last network post, so I'm getting worried.

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

[plushaeusrumpified]

... Two guys and a 'pet teenager'. Do I need to alert the police, bro?

Voice;

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, about that. I got one of my tool boxes, so I've bee-

[There's a pause]

What do you mean, where am I? You're the one who took off without so much as a card.

[He's been so engrossed in his tinkering that he hasn't noticed a thing. He just missed his tools so much.]

Voice

[arrogantalloy]

Three. Three guys and her. Only if there's a law against cheerfulness. I have an age limit and Major Boy-scout and Thunderstruck have morals.

Voice

[plushaeusrumpified]

Oh really? How do you know for sure? It is nearing summer. You see her in a bikini and your age limit might be thrown out the door along with their morals.

I'm just concerned for her wellbeing.

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;

[starspangledavenger]

You got a tool box? From home?

[Guess he's glad Tony got something positive from home, unlike himself]

Imogen and I both ended up in completely different places pretty far from you. Are you sure Thor is still even there?

Voice

[thisonetime_withkeith]

So... you poop in it?

Voice

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, I wouldn't be. She makes me tired just looking at her. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm old enough to be her dad, kind of puts a crimp on things like that.

Don't you think?

Voice

[plushaeusrumpified]

[There's a bit of a delay in answering. He has to think about this. He's... kind of slept with a lot of girls in his lifetime. Some pretty young- legal though. God.]

...Yes.

Yes I do.

Voice

[arrogantalloy]

Okay, yeah. Maybe not that. Normally people don't ask about that one so much.
