because sam rockwell is the best

[therealgenius]

Oh? Me? You chose me?

Well, ah...I'm flattered, really. And the name's nice, you know, uh...real eye-catching. Truthful, and I'm a man of truth. Truth and weapons, that's pretty much me. And you know, I'll be coming back. Justin Hammer isn't going to fall off the face of the Earth because some CEO I won't name thinks she can take out the competition. Where's the proof, right?

Yeah, it's a shame. I agree that I don't "get enough love." I really do. But that's what's expected when you've got fuc— [Rubbing his forehead, count to ten, Justin, count to ten] —all right, all right. I'm good. I'm okay. Let's...do whatever we're going to do, minus all your stupid jokes about prison, birds, and Russians. I could really scoot on by forever without them.

I don't know about this "Mjolnir" crap, but the only Hammer that matters to the great United States of America? That would be me. You've chosen so wisely that there's nothing wiser you can at this point, so you may as well just make a bunch of bad decisions and go off to the Stark Expo.

I'm thrilled to work with you. Let's blow some shit up.

You are this ... 'Hammer', then, of whom Tony Stark spoke?

[therealgenius]

[Dying stars are not good places for hammers, come on, man. That's basic science.]

Depends on what he's saying.

[godoftableflips]

[ For ORDINARY HAMMERS, maybe. ]

He made strange comments regarding how you... tan your palms. [ yep that happened, Thor is still not sure he understands wtf that means. ]

He seemed displeased with you.

[therealgenius]

[Hammers you can't lift without wearing Midgard clothes and thinking your dad died and your mom hates your guts forever and ever? Who needs 'em!]

...I don't know what that means because I certainly don't do anything abnormal to my palms. It sounds like usual, drunk, unpredictable Tony Stark jealousy to me.

The man has issues.

[godoftableflips]

[ They are the best kind of hammers. EARNED THROUGH THREE WHOLE DAYS OF SUCH SUFFERING. ]

... I have noticed his tendency to discourse large volumes of no substance, with great frequency.

But what I have not seen is any indication that he is an envious man. It would seem more likely he would think others envious of him.

[therealgenius]

[That's really a lot of suffering, man, how could you manage it? Three days? Jeez, that's terrible. Terrible.]

Basically, you're saying, he's prone to saying a lot of nonsense. We call that bullshit.

Yeah, well, me and Anthony go way back. I run a weapons tech company, too. Hammer Industries. But, unlike Stark, I actually earned my fortune and my company, worked my ass off, you know. Put effort into making a name for myself instead of relying on Dad. That's why he's jealous.

[WOW HE HAS A GREAT SMILE DOESN'T HE]

[ex_flyting687]

[slowclap.gif]

I think I like you already.

[therealgenius]

[He puts his arms out, gesturing as if to say he's grateful for doing what he can.]

I like being liked, don't get it enough. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mister...?

[ex_scintillating454]

One might say that the entire point of being a CEO is to do the best one can for the company, up to and including taking out the competition. Prison is just one way. Be thankful that certain CEO plays by the rules, hmmm?

[therealgenius]

[Oh hey, blonde alert.]

I'm sorry, are we even talking about the same person?

[ex_scintillating454]

I was assuming Tony's darling little sidekick, Pepper of whom I have absolutely no animosity. [Oh the lies.] But if I'm mistaken, do carry on insulting gods and other assorted folk.

[therealgenius]

[Oh. Well. They are. Great.]

Oh, I think she's more than a sidekick at this point. She certainly doesn't play by the rules, though, you seem to be confused on that point.

Which is, might I say, a very big point as far as I'm concerned.

[ex_flyting687]

Loki will suffice, Justin Hammer.

You don't like Stark, correct?

[therealgenius]

[If he wasn't a self-made billionaire genius, he might be thrown by some random, greasy-haired guy knowing his name. But he is, so he's not even bothered.]

Stark? You mean Anthony? It's not really about whether or not we like each other, it's...it's about politics and civility, and about what falls under the description of "weapon," legally. It's not [he laughs slightly, clearly just saving face] about like, Mister Loki, it's about products, technology, and the future. We're both in the business of weapons technology, and you know, when you have a weapon you don't share with everyone else? Well, others are going to figure it out on their own.

[...]

Why do you ask?

[ex_flyting687]

So he's basically your better, as far as the world is concerned.

[See, this is mighty familiar, Mr. Hammer, sir. So so highly familiar, in a Thor way.

Also STFU with the hair, there's no shampoo in space.]

I've met your Stark, I didn't like him too well. It's nice to see I'm not alone in that.

[thestarspangledman]

I'm guessing you didn't see what happened in New York, sir. Mjolnir had a lot to do with saving the United States of America.

[angermismanagement]

'Truth and weapons' huh? That's sounds promising.

[therealgenius]

[Only Thoreal, right?]

...you've met Stark and you didn't like him? Perish the thought. I assure you, you are not alone at all. He has a good deal of government officials pissed to the max even now.

[therealgenius]

New York? I haven't been back lately, so...no. I haven't seen anything or heard anything about it.

I still don't know what the hell Mjolnir is, but nothing is as good as Hammer Tech, I assure you of that.

[myheartglows]

... Huh. Something's wrong with this picture.

[ /CONSIDERS. HMMM. ]

Oh, yeah, yeah, aren't you supposed to be sporting something more ... prison orange?

[therealgenius]

[That sarcasm, he can sense it. Like a spider, almost.]

It's about the future, sir, and what we can do to ensure peace and stability throughout the world.

[ex_flyting687]

[He's born with it. Or was that the wrong cosmetics company?]

Tsk, now that's always a bad move.

Would it please you to know that I threw him out a window? Because no one seems to appreciate that.

[therealgenius]

[Aren't you supposed to be sporting IN PIECES?]

Bitterness doesn't suit you, Anthony.

Neither does that alloy suit you like so much. You should really let me look into, you know, see what I can do for you while I'm being generous.

[therealgenius]

[Maybelline, but that doesn't really work to the Thor advantage. All is forgiven.]

...I'd have to know if he was in or out of his suit first to properly answer that, Mister Loki.

[myheartglows]

Tell me, was the generosity supposed to come before or after the murderous drones your Russian comrade sent on me?
