Crash landing is the only way to make an entrance.

[arrogantalloy]

Who: Tony Stark, and anyone who comes across him.
Where: Somewhere on the front lawns.
When: July 2
Rating: G most likely
Summary: Tony arrives.


[Tony remembers hitting the ground, he also remembers JARVIS trying to tell him something was interfering with the suit. Everything between these two events are hazy]

...JARVIS?

Sir?

Where are we? And how did something manage to down the suit without touching it?

I am unable to pin point our location, sir. There is no data on what caused the suit to fail. Apart from superficial scratches, it seems that the thrusters are currently offline.

Well fix it, JARVIS.

It seems to be wiring damage, there's nothing I can do, sir.

Good thing we're on the ground then.

[Tony sits up on his elbows and looks around the area, seeing a building not too far away, then he slowly gets up. Opening his mask and looking down at the scratches]

When we get back to the tower, I really need to work on a paint that's harder to scratch off.

Keeping focused on the priorities, like always, sir.

Just focus on finding out where we are, JARVIS.

It may take some time.

I don't care, do it.

At once, sir.

[Dave pauses when he sees Tony talking to himself. He waits for the man to finish up that conversation before approaching the supposedly insane person.]

And here I thought the mansion could do no worse than bring someone in with DID. Thanks for provin' me wrong, since it looks like we now have someone with schizophrenia.

[He'd compliment the suit, but he has priorities, and the first priority is making sure this guy won't attack him with a knife.]

[akapeanut]

[George hears the crash from her room. She makes her way down, cursing at herself a few times because she's been waiting for the event to blow over before bringing up the sixth death thing. She really didn't think anybody was going to get killed by talking flowers, but apparently they found away to prove her wrong.

Man, those flowers must have quite an arm to have thrown him this far.

She does her best to ignore the person-shaped hole a few feet behind him as she waves for his attention.]

Hey. You okay?

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony raised an eyebrow as he hears the voice and looks over at the blonde boy.]

As long as the list of things that are wrong with me are, multiple personalities isn't on there.

Going to go on the theory that you kinda live here. So tell me kid, where is this place, and do have a tool box?

[For the most part, Tony wasn't concerned about the boy being there. He just knew he needed to fix the suit so he could get back home.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony glances at her as she waves and flashes her a grin]

Oh yeah, I'm fine. I was knocked out of the air for no explainable reason, and my systems don't know where I am. But I'm good. Suit took most of the damage.

So, what's this this place? Testing site for new tech? School for 'gifted kids' .... The Shining 3D?

[There had to be a reason he was brought down, and while the first two both seemed more plausible to him than the last, Mansion in the middle of no where wasn't something you could just rule out]

[urnewkingbitch]

May as well fuckin' live here considerin' I've been here for a year.

[He shrugs.]

Wonderland, as in Alice in Wonderland and all that shit. The closets should have whatever you need so long as you think it before you reach in there. Sometimes, they give you somethin' completely different 'cause they seem to have a sense of humor.

[arrogantalloy]

Wonderland huh?

[Tony's face plate comes down and then there's a hiss before he takes his helmet off properly]

If you don't want to tell me, that's cool, power to you and all that. But I'm still going to need a tool box.

[Sure, Tony's been through and seen a lot of things. But really, this is a child telling him he's in a place from a story book. He still doesn't believe half the things Thor has told him about Asguard. But then, Tony's never been one for trusting others words without proof.]

[akapeanut]

[She snorts.]

Uh, no. Unfortunately it's even more insane than that.

You want to come in?

[urnewkingbitch]

Right, right, follow me, then.

[Can't blame the guy for not believing it, really. Dave leads the way to the mansion currently overrun by various plants and insects.]

Can't wait for this shitty event to end. So, who're you, by the way?

[arrogantalloy]

Inviting me in already? And you don't even know my name, sure, yeah, let's go in.

[Tony smirks before taking off his helmet and putting it under his arm]

Lead the way.

[akapeanut]

[George turns bright red and turns to lead the way to a tearoom. Because clearly ignoring that comment is for the best.

Once they've settled at a table, she holds her hand up to indicate everything around them.]

This is Wonderland. Yes, that one. We can't leave. Nobody knows how we got here. It's magic and every couple weeks or so we have to go through some bullshit that we've taken to calling an event. The closets give you whatever you want. Don't die more than five times.

[arrogantalloy]

[While Tony glanced at the plants and insects he didn't give them much more thought. Though his attention shifted to the other as he heard him speak.

Event?]

Who am I?

[Tony looks down at himself, more the suit then back at the boy]

Really? You don't recognise this?

[He gestures to himself. Tony spent his whole life being known and famous. So this was a tad confusing for him]

[splinterself]

[That suit is sweet.

Dirk waits to approach until the stranger appeared to be done talking to himself. His AI? (Oh god, what is his responder doing. Dave said time stopped back home, but...fuck.)]

Hey.

[urnewkingbitch]

[He glances back and shrugs.]

A male Samus?

[arrogantalloy]

[He sits there -albeit a bit awkwardly in his suit- and takes in everything she said]


... Wait, so. When you say can't leave...

[He shifts slightly and looks down at his boots, wondering if that's what's causing the wiring problem]

[akapeanut]

Can't leave. No way out. I heard if you go into the forest you just get lost and end up dying.

[George notices his discomfort and gestures at a closet across the room.]

You can get some clothes out of there if you want to change out of...whatever the fuck that is.

[arrogantalloy]

A male Sa-... Good call. But no. Last I checked I don't curl up like a pill bug.

I'm Tony Stark, I own and run Stark Industries, I'm Iron man, famous and beloved member of the Avengers.

None of this ringing a bell?

[Avengers wise, this kid was his demographic, how could he not know?]

[arrogantalloy]

It's a gold-titanium alloy suit, I can't just change out of it, I need some tools, seeing as I wont be able to get out of it any other way here.

But I think I need a scotch first. Does the closet have hot and cold running alcohol?

[akapeanut]

Yep. It can definitely do that.

[Sometimes to excess.]

Mind if I ask what the story is behind that gold-titanium alloy suit or...?

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony looks over at the boy]

Hey.

[He gives him a nod.]

I didn't your grass. hope you don't mind, I would have avoided it but something shorted out my thrusters.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony stands and heads to the closet, stopping and looking at her as she ask about the suit]

You don't know this suit?

[He lifts up the helmet as if to use it to job her memory]

[splinterself]

Not my grass, not my problem. Besides, I know how tech failure goes. [Vaguely sympathetic in a, "I generally avoid that 'displaying emotions' thing in large quantities, but that feel? I know it, bro," sort of way.]

Name's Dirk and...uh, before I forget, make sure you're carrying around sawdust. I know, it sounds fucking ridiculous, but trust me on this. [And no, he's not going to elaborate on the involuntary transmogrification he went through.]

[akapeanut]

[She shrugs.]

We're probably from different universes or some bullshit like that.

[libraritology]

[You know who takes frequent walks outside on days with nice weather? This lady.

...although she doesn't usually encounter large machinery just sitting out on the grass.

Machinery with a...human...face.



Huh.]

Excuse me, are you...are you all right?

[Always considerate towards the things that might be potentially dangerous.]

[arrogantalloy]

So this Wonderland is working with the theory of multiple universes. Hmm.

No, I'm going to really need that drink.

[He comes up to the closet and knocks on it, before glancing back at at Georgia]

This doesn't need a password or some special dance or anything does it?

[arrogantalloy]

Oh? You do, do you?

[Tony raises a slight eyebrow, he knew nothing about this kid so as far as Tony knew his tech failure could be his iPod failing on him. He had no reason to suspect that Dirk was capable of building robots himself.]

Sawdust?

[He looks up at the mansion a head of them]

Are you trying to recruit me as a roadie of vomit duty? Because really? I'll pass, I just need to fix my thrusters. Then I can be stop being a reflection in your pointed glasses, as fantastic as they are by the way.
