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.

[ms_potts]

[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.

[trickstering]

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

[rockstark]

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

[rockstark]

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[rockstark]

[awww you're so cute when you're trying to downplay the fact that you give a crap, Bruce. he grins]

Actually? I'm always a big thing. Also: just because we're switching tracks doesn't mean you get out of strutting lessons. I'm just gonna throw that out there.

[6collegecredits]

Fancy new tasers, too?

[fromrussia_withlove]

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

[hulk]

[ What, he's not cute. At all. Ever. Bruce is the anti-cute. ]

Wasn't what I meant but, uh. Pretty sure you knew that. And... There's no. Strutting is not going to be a thing that happens anywhere. Here, or-- Wherever things end up happening, it's just. It won't.

[trickstering]

But you'll never really get see it all play out, now. Is it disappointing, that lack of satisfaction?

[rockstark]

No. I'll just bring you down wherever we end up, and that'll be just as satisfying.

You might even actually get that drink, this time, depending on how you play your cards.

[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]

The water thing might mean you have to get a taser substitute? But there'll be something. There'll definitely be something.

[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.

[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.

[fromrussia_withlove]

Sounds a lot like the place I'm heading to. Of course for me it's just back to basics. Still as long as there is some tech it seems like you'll be fine right?

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Probably. Hope they don't have too many cats.

I miss all the best party tricks.

[doyoufondue]

Stay away from Disney, Stark.

[6collegecredits]

Well, I suppose I'll have to adapt somehow.

[doyoufondue]

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

[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.]
