Someone doesn't like recent developments.

[definingfuture]

Wait, wait, wait. You're gonna what?

No. Keeping me around wasn't part of the plan. Yeah, okay, it's nice to get out and see things. Enjoy the scenery, take in the fresh air, and I got all that. Got it. Done. It's over now.

What do you intend to do with me? Let's face it, I'm not exactly in a good place right now with, well, anyone. And you don't have any real plan in mind except to have me around, so the most I can hope for is sitting right here. Not a pretty picture. Thanks for thinking of me, but I'll pass. No one here needs the Iron Man, and they sure as hell don't want him.

Is Iron Man retiring?

[definingfuture]

From being dragged around in circles, yeah. I'm getting tired already and nothing's even happened.

[neveracoward]

I know it's hard for you, but the less you talk? The less they have to work with.

So...if you're just really, really quiet for a while, they'll leave you alone.

[definingfuture]

Yeah? Just lie down and roll on my back?

I do that, and they'll just start kicking.

[neveracoward]

What, your mun? They don't kick if you give them absolutely nothing to work with. I'm not telling you to lie down and roll over [ew gross] but am telling you to just stop talking.

[But see if she keeps talking to Tony then the voice gets stronger and stronger and, effectively, she's helping.

She just doesn't realize it shhh]

[master_of_magnet]

Finally, the metal man makes sense.

[definingfuture]

You know, I usually do. It's kind of my thing.

[master_of_magnet]

Most of the time, it's hard to make out what you say through the slurs, and the other times it's usually telling the world how wonderful you are. This, is a novelty.

[definingfuture]

Okay, I'll give you the second one, but I haven't actually had a drink in, in... pretty long, actually. So you don't get that.

And I make plenty of sense. I'm a scientist, all I do is make sense.

[smashing_good_time]

Stop your whining, Tin Man. You sound almost like Banner.

[And that's always a bad thing because he hates Banner. Actually. He doesn't like you all that much either now that he thinks about it. You "betray friend and send them to space to have them rot on some random foreign planet to never return back to Earth again to see his friends"...er.]

[definingfuture]

Well, shit.

[Really, that is all there is to say to that. Um, you're early, Hulk. Hi.]

This isn't the time. Or the place.

[smashing_good_time]

Didn't come here to smash you if that's what you're thinking.

Could've did that already. [Gawd man. All he wants is to ask how your day was and stuff.]

[definingfuture]

Funny enough? It's what I was thinking.

But you're right. You could have. So, at the risk of calling down the impending wrath, why aren't you?

[His day was shit. But if he doesn't get made into a smear on the ground, it'll be that much better.]

[therealgenius]

[...]

I don't know about that, buddy. There's nothing to replace Iron Man right now, so...we probably do need Iron Man.

You know, until, uh...uh...until the tech advances and you can, I don't know...retire in Maui or some shit and let other people fly around your uh...suits.

[definingfuture]

[...Buddy?]

Um... Thanks? But I don't really think there's any need for the Iron Man in this place.

[therealgenius]

[Oh no don't make him say his name because he doesn't want...he's not...he has nice hair in the moves :(

...and dance moves]

Well...that's bullshit, to be honest.

[definingfuture]

[Well, just be creative. He might not even notice. Maybe.]

What?

[10ringstoruletheworld]

So how does it feel to lose everything once again, my old foe?

[definingfuture]

Well, this just went from bad to terrible.

Actually, it might almost be comforting to know I have something to look forward to.

[10ringstoruletheworld]

Looking forward to me crushing your skull while you admit that I always was you're better?

[definingfuture]

Looking forward to doing some real good again. With you, I know where I stand.

[It's probably wrong to want a fight. Especially a bad one like that, but it's a good deal more familiar than his recent battles.]

[catwoman]

Sound like someone needs a little something to perk his life up.

Go blow something up, I hear that usually helps.

[definingfuture]

You need to fire your counselor.

Explosions only help under certain conditions.

[catwoman]

Aren't we all a little too screwed up for counseling?

I dress in a skin tight cat-suit and steal shiny things, I don't know about you.

[definingfuture]

Maybe. I'm pretty sure that counts as a fetish somewhere.

Speaking of fetishes, cat burglar? Cute. I usually don't do roleplay, but that one sounds promising.
