[arcofiron]

Surprised? That makes both of us

Mun seems to have brought me here, with the words 'Please play nicely with the other children'. How rude.
I always play nice. Unless they annoy me, then I do accordingly back.

[Setting down an empty glass]

Since none of my so called 'carers' are around, why don't we have a little fun?

Comments

[takingouttrash]

*look at the glass? Yes, she gives one.*

You are rather quick to assume absence.

[arcofiron]

You're still here? I was sure I checked every corner.

[takingouttrash]

I actually just let myself back in. I can leave you to it, if you want.

[arcofiron]

And I'm sure you can be fun when you want to right? So you don't have to leave just yet.
[He walks over to the bar reaching for a second glass]

[captainbadass]

Well, you got my attention.

[arcofiron]

Was it the prospect of fun or my amazing good looks?

[captainbadass]

Well, the glass is empty and I didn't do it, so it's not the second.

[arcofiron]

[He smiles to him and fetches a second glass and the bottle of scotch]

So you admit it was my handsome face then? [He fills up both glasses and offers one to his new friend]

The names Tony Stark, if you didn't already know of course. And who might you be?

[captainbadass]

Well, there is a resemblance. Name doesn't ring a bell though.

[Like hell he's turning down free drinks. And do you have any idea how hard to find Scotch is once Earth's been destroyed? The answer is "extremely." Which is why this one's getting savored, instead of slammed down like cheap rotgut.]

Most people just call me Korso. Or Captain, but you got a long way to go before you start to look like any of my crew.

[arcofiron]

[He laughs to himself]

Cradling your drink I see? Well it is expensive. And there's a lot more [He wasn't trying to show off. What a lie of course he was]

Only a resemblance? I'll accept that. However you mentioned a crew?

I'm in somewhat of a 'crew' myself.

[poorgirlsarcee]

Carers? ya mean babysitters? They might be dealin' wit' the idiots that are supposed to be keeping tabs on me. [Because really military babysitters like ew! She's sitting up on a workbench toying with some round mechanical device.]

[arcofiron]

Babysitting implies I am a child. Which unfortunately I am not.

And are you a run away or something?

[poorgirlsarcee]

[She laughed] Yeah no. Just a college student working on an internship with a military funded company.

They don't like that I'm the only one that can get their toy to work. [She held up the device she had been toying with a moment and it started hovering in the air at about her shoulder height.]

[arcofiron]

Oh a toy can I please play? [He doesn't wait for her answer simply tries to grab it]

You said military funded? So dangerous toys?

[poorgirlsarcee]

[The orb floats up and behind her.]

No, I refuse to mess with weapons. The machine, well not this one, but the one I was hired to make is purely defense. At least the prototype is. [She nods to the orb] That's, well let's just say personal safety device keyed in to a certain wavelength. They don't have the plans for it.

[There's no way she's giving the military any of her sonic devices because really, those could be really dangerous in their hands.]

[master_of_magnet]

Mister Stark, I'm afraid you have no idea just how big a can of worms you just invited to be emptied in your lap.

[arcofiron]

Can of worms? I thought that more your deal. The whole metal thing you do.

But I'd prefer it they not on my lap? You know this suit was kinda expensive.

[master_of_magnet]

...You have no idea how tempting it is to simply rip that reactor out of your chest, Stark.

Do not encourage these mundanes. They certainly do not need it.

[arcofiron]

I'd appreciate it, if you didn't do that. I kinda like living.

But encourage them? I do nothing of the sort! I can't help if my presence is enough to make a person excitably.

[master_of_magnet]

Then don't give me a reason, Stark. You know very well I could crush your tin suit like an empty soda can should I have a mind to.

I wouldn't say 'excitable' as much as 'annoyed.'

[hasthekeys]

You called for a carer?

[arcofiron]

You keep finding me and yet I don't know where you come from.

Do you track me now? Or can you simply not stand to be away?

[hasthekeys]

I think part of being a good bodyguard-slash-chauffer-slash-whatever else the boss needs is being able to find you.

[arcofiron]

Does 'the boss' not trust me to wander off now? Why do you not consider tagging me or putting on a nice collar.

[He pauses for a moment]

I shouldn't of given you the idea.

[hasthekeys]

[Don't be a dick!]

You are the boss, Boss. I mean, there was—unless that's you firing me?
