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.

Heading towards a year and a half.

He's not the only one who's claimed that he's a country, though. Seems like an odd thing to make into a cult. Seems more likely they're just from a place where that's possible.

[arrogantalloy]

Nothing is too weird to be made into a cult. Believe me there.

Maybe he's just a mascot, with out the suit or baseball team to cheer for.

[akapeanut]

Maybe. Still, after a certain point it's just easier to believe people. Not like him thinking he's Poland is hurting anyone.

[arrogantalloy]

You say that now. But if he gets out the lyrca and starts demanding people obey him. It's going to become a bit of a problem.

But hey, maybe I'm just bringing 'my world' problems here.

[akapeanut]

Er. Yeah, maybe.

[...]

Alien Hitler?

[arrogantalloy]

Well... He was doing it in Germany. But no, just alien who thought he could be a bigger diva than me.

[akapeanut]

[She quirks her lips a little.]

I'm guessing you're a pretty big diva, then.

[arrogantalloy]

Well in my world, I'm the biggest name in green energy and there isn't much that exists that doesn't have my tech in in somewhere.

I even have a tower with my name on it.

So yeah. I've been known to be a Diva.

[akapeanut]

Wow. Impressive. That and the robot suit make you a lot more interesting than most of the people here, to be honest. When you get down to it we're just a bunch of freaks living in a house together. Real World: Wonderland.

[arrogantalloy]

A multidimensional big brother but with out the cameras? Do we get voted out?

[Tony takes another drink]

wow idk if that made any sense :T

[akapeanut]

Sometimes people go home, but they don't remember this place while they're gone. But if they come back within a week they'll have advanced on their personal timeline but still remember that they were here once they get back.

Re: wow idk if that made any sense :T

[arrogantalloy]

Done remember, huh? Well then at least I get to know that if I manage to figure out how to redesign everything here to work in my world. That I'll forget it all. There's a load off my mind.

[Gets the bottle about half empty by now]

[akapeanut]

At least this place isn't leeching time out of your real life?

[arrogantalloy]

If I was in my real life. The only thing that would be different would be Steve sitting where you are, frowning at my drinking habits. So far, same slop, different bucket.

[He tries to shrug, but the movement is ultimately lost while he wears the suit.]

[akapeanut]

[She raises an eyebrow.]

Who's Steve?

[arrogantalloy]

I'm going to go with 'team mate' on that question there. Tall, blonde, blue eyed. He's all stars and stripes and living the American dream... Well, what passes for dreams in the 1940's.

You'd like him, everyone generally does.

[Drinks more]

[akapeanut]

Um, okay.

[Because to her he sounds like a weirdo. Anyway.]

You're on some kind of...robot team?

[arrogantalloy]

Hmm?

[He looks down at the suit]

Uh, no. I'm the only one that wears anything this. Except Rhodey, but technically he stole that from me, and he's not on the team.

But yeah, I'm part of a team under the "Avenger Initiative"

[Yes, he even does the finger quotes]

6 of use are meant to protect the world from hob goblins and space aliens. Well, anything that's trying to screw things up for the rest of us really. Great way to pick up women.

[akapeanut]

...The suit's nice and all, but that still seems a bit much for six guys to handle.

[arrogantalloy]

[He lets a slow but big grin slide across his face]

This isn't some poker group I'm talking about. We're not really all that ordinary.

[akapeanut]

Well, fuck, I know that. There's a dude here who can fly. And I'm pretty sure one of the dudes here is Harry Potter's dad. We spent about a week in Hogwarts and it was probably his fault. So yeah, I get that you're probably fucking special. It just sounds like you need a little more help than that, if aliens are anything like they are in the movies. And by that, I mean way fucking smarter than we ever seem to be.

[arrogantalloy]

Movies are meant to have smarter aliens. It makes us look better and scrappier when we win before the credits.

What we fought, not that smart. And they seemed to be kind of allergic to a nuclear detonation on their mother ship.

[akapeanut]

I'd say most things are allergic to that.

[She isn't sure if she likes that this guy is more snarky than her.]

You know, if you were going to try and impress me, you should've said they were geniuses and you were just that much smarter.

[arrogantalloy]

[He raised an eyebrow at her and smirked]

I didn't know you wanted me to impress you. I can give you better stories than just fighting some ugly aliens and their creepy flying metal whale mom's.

[akapeanut]

[She couldn't exactly fight back the blush that flashes on her cheeks at that.]

I didn't mean it like that. You've just made it clear that's your thing. Kind of sucks for you that there's so many more guys than girls here, though.
