On Paradisa;

All right, you seem pretty keen on throwing me back into the fray. Which, hey, completely understandable. If I wasn't me, I would want to be me, too.

But first, I'd like to go over some ground rules with you. They're very simple. So I don't want to hear anything about you forgetting them.

First off, and this is the big one. You want to throw me in fresh, and I agree with this. Wholeheartedly. That whole Peace whatever thing I had going my first time around? Yeah, that was kind of embarrassing. The less I remember about that, the better.

In fact, just ignore anything that anybody ever says about it. I can do that whole selective hearing thing, so don't go waltzing off all "Oh, this thing I used to do was a good idea!" No. Just no. I have the Avengers there, or at least three of us, that's enough responsibility for me.

Second. Second... Those suits. The ones the bad guys have? You didn't solve that problem. In fact, that problem's still around, and it's been, what? Ten years? Okay, maybe not ten. But you get my point. Solve it. Those are my suits, and I won't have some whack jobs running around in them.

Third, and last... wait, did I say the first one was the big one? Correction. This is the big one. A loss. I saw your IMs.

If I turn alcohol into water, yes, I will make some sort of reverse-Jesus joke. And then I will hate you. No offense or anything, but it's kind of in my contract. You take away my alcohol, I hate you. Nothing personal.

Actually, it's very personal. Don't do it.

All right? Got all of that? Wrote it down somewhere?

Good. Don't go forgetting them.


Oh, and one last thing. Tell Pepper she'd better be there.

I'm going to be there. You can stop worrying.

I'll have more than four icons by then, hopefully.

I will have icons.

Also, your loss sounds smart. I'm sure you've heard what my loss is.

Legolas? From Lord of the Rings? [She's confused.]

I thought the key was to get you talking to the other Starks.

There goes any idea I might have had about apologizing for what happened to the Patrol, I suppose.
cloakand_danger: (I've got another confession to make)

[personal profile] cloakand_danger 2012-06-09 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Sure, Tony, if that's how you want to play it.] No one, I suppose. Just someone who trusts you to be a more than competent engineer when things need doing.

I may have a list waiting when you get back. The outposts are going to need some extra help.
cloakand_danger: (But intentions you read)

[personal profile] cloakand_danger 2012-06-09 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure any time you could grant would be appreciated. The main thing they need is defense against those stolen suits, after all.

Yes, of course, natural magnetism, how could I forget.

I do watch the news, but there's going to be a slight problem with the when I'm arriving from.

[There is nothing to be said. True warriors speak with their fists.

So Alleyne tightens her right hand and holds it out. Remember the secret bro-shake you taught her? She never forgot it, man.

If you're going back to this hell you may as well feel welcome. Don't leave her hanging!]
cloakand_danger: (Or be abused?)

[personal profile] cloakand_danger 2012-06-09 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. And if it goes through this way, I'll have to find something to repay favors with besides alcohol, I suppose.

[It works fine for Crowley and Reno (who we also hope to see again soon), so why you gotta buck the system, man?]

[You're so lucky she's in with the ladies herself and has an insane snake ex dogging her every move now.

Don't worry miss Pepper it is all kosher here.

If this were a buddy movie there would be explosions and sunglasses about now.]


On the bright side, at least you're not forgetting how to do that.
cloakand_danger: (Or are you gone and on to someone new?)

[personal profile] cloakand_danger 2012-06-09 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
All right. You try positive thinking, and I'll try cynicism, and we'll see who's right when you get back in.
cloakand_danger: (My heart is under arrest again)

...Deal. [Tony, how much booze do you think Yuan keeps around his place? Because the true answer is 'not much'.]
