On Moving.

[rockstark]

Wait, wait, wait, hold the phone, we're moving?

Don't get me wrong, I kinda like the idea of doing something other than making copypasta out of Whedon's work every other comment, that's nice, that's cool --

-- but we're moving to a place where I won't have Jarvis, or Dummy, or any of my tech save whatever's on me at the moment, which, uh, I don't know if you noticed, basically downgrades to a very large and expensive paperweight without the rest of it all.

You can see how this is really a six of one, half-a-dozen of the other thing, right? I mean ... you aren't stupid, no matter how much you think you are. If I thought you were stupid, I wouldn't stick around, and hey - still here. But really, you better find me a workaround for that, because I'm not gonna be dead in the water.

Literally.

Now, uh, go eat your dinner and fix me a drink.

You say that like you couldn't make anything new wherever you went. And that's j- Come on.

[rockstark]

Was that a compliment? ... Okay, if this is the way it's gonna be, sign me up for the new place.

[hulk]

It wasn't anyth- You know it's true, so do I, and. Pretty much anybody else who knows anything about Starktech, let's not. It's not that big a thing.

[Siiiiigh]

I'm starting to think you won't really be happy unless you make your own world, will you.

[pause]

And before you say anything - no, Tony.

[rockstark]

I could just buy Disneyworld. You could have Epcot. Come on. It'd be great.

[doyoufondue]

Stay away from Disney, Stark.

[ms_potts]

[she smiles sweetly]

You are aware that I will lock you inside "It's a Small World" until you change your mind.

[trickstering]

You wouldn't be nearly as interesting as a paperweight, though it would make my job a lot easier.

[rockstark]

Your job? Noooonononono. See, my job is to keep you unemployed, so. Does how easy your job is really matter?

[6collegecredits]

At least you'll still have a good idea who everyone is if/when this move happens.

[rockstark]

Yeeeeeeah ... 'bout that. Sorry you didn't get to hold on to that iPod for too long. Trust me, I'll have a workaround for that, too.

[fromrussia_withlove]

You without tech? I'm not sure you'd make it.

[rockstark]

Not completely without tech, from the looks of it. Just without my tech, which just basically means that what I've got won't be half as good, at least.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

How long do you expect it will take you to get out of said paperweight in that situation?

And on an only semi-related note, what do you do when you need to pee while wearing the suit? [All that water. Everywhere.]

[rockstark]

Beats me, think they have can openers down there?

Also: there's a built in filtration system. I thought I told everyone tha-- oh wait, that's right, you showed up after the party.

[doyoufondue]

Dead in the water. It's not ...that...bad.
[ yeah that's never happened to anyone before. nope. ]

[rockstark]

[not missing a beat]. How would you know? You weren't ever actually dead.

[like_a_gerbil]

You wouldn't have JARVIS? [From the way Steve's staring it's obvious that he can't even consider the idea seriously. Tony and his AI are inseparable.]

[rockstark]

Nope. ... Kinda weird, really. Like those dreams about walking around in public naked, only more awkward.

[jarvisconsole]

Sir...this sounds like an ill advised venture.

[rockstark]

You're telling me. .... Hey, wait. Maybe you can come with.

[likethetragedy]

A paper weight. [That's an interesting image.] At least you'll still know people. I hate having to start from scratch.

[rockstark]

Yeah. Big fancy expensive one. If you move it, it says a billion different phrases, including "get me outta here" and that old chestnut, "hey, could you pour me a scotch?"

And don't worry, you'll be fine. You knew all those ducks, didn't you? Same thing.

[therealgenius]

You mean you have a mun who's not sucking Whedon's cock every time he makes a statement?

[rockstark]

[oh hey, you again! he'll manage not to look pleased, because, well, the banter is fun. he also worries a little after their last talk. shh. best frenemies]

I think her girlfriend would have something to say about that, but human rights aside? He's not the best... But I'm also glad he's not some guy named Moffat. Or, ouch, Bryan Singer.
