Hey. Mun. Yes, you. Cmere. Let's chat. Just take a seat, get comfy. Drink? No?

Okay. Look. I don't really have a problem with this whole game thing. City under the sea, whatever, I can dig it. But here's the thing: why the middle? Why not before the movie, or maybe, oh, I don't know. After it? Yknow, when everything's been wrapped up in a pretty pink bow and I don't have to deal with some of that crap anymore?

I mean, drama's all well and good, but what if he DOES get in, and I end up wowing everyone as per usual, and we're both trapped in this underwater tin can with me still a hot mess? That's disaster right there. Disaster. It's never going to end well. It's not even gonna start well. How am I supposed to deal with everything all at once with him maybe breathing down my neck, AND this damn thing still in my chest?

[ _{I'm confident you two can get along. Besides, he might not even be from the same universe.} ]

Wha- why, because the last time we got together it ended so well? If there's more defenestration in my future, I'd really like it NOT to be underwater. And your little besides there- does that matter? I mean, honestly? Because I'm not really sure how that's aaaany better at all. Oh, awesome, he might not IMMEDIATELY have a reason to throw me around like a rag doll. Gosh, that's such an improvement, I could sell it as the next big thing.

[ _{eyerolls eternally} ]

Just consider tweaking it a bit. Please? For me? No? Fine, whatever, but here's the thing: when the time comes, and it turns out I'm right? You're never going to hear the end of it. Non-stop. Chattering. For days. Your call, mun.

Comments

clearly i have to tag like.. everyone :'(

[curbing]

You'll-- Tony. I'd like it to be noted that I'm heavily protesting this decision of your writer's.

bless you, I'm trying to tighten the voice

[notactuallyiron]

Which one? They're all pretty questionable.

[ _{hold up} ]

..Pep?

he sounds perfect u/////u

[curbing]

The-- Really? You have to ask?

Of course it's me. Without, ah.. pencil skirts and heels.

oh gosh thank you o//////o

[notactuallyiron]

Specifics, Pep, cmon. Game, app, "canon point"?

Okay, thought so. Just checking. Uh. [ _{he shifts.} ] Well, you know. It doesn't have to be. You could totally work a pencil skirt with those legs.

B)

[curbing]

How about everything, Tony. And Loki?

.. I am not crossdressing for you. No. Absolutely not. I-- a skirt..

[jarvises]

As much as the idea of it is hated, sir, try not to worry yourself too much over the matter. The time will come when you can gloat all you like over your being right, but try not to work yourself up.

[Wise words, Jarvis. Except not.]

[notactuallyiron]

But that's the thing, J. Gloating's only fun if the end result doesn't suck.

[jarvises]

And what's to say that you won't find a way to change the end result and make it good instead? You have a funny way of doing that, I've found.

[notactuallyiron]

I can only make so many miracles at a time, and after New York I'm kind of pushing it here.

Hey, if he's not the Loki I know, it MIGHT be okay. For a little bit. I'll take what I can get.

[paps tony & mun] uvu

[jarvises]

Have confidence, sir. And patience. Good things come to those who wait, after all.

Mhm. A little while is better than no time at all. You'll be fine... eventually.

Ugh I'm sorry he's such a troll ;;

[canyouregulate]

Don't like swimming anymore?

haha no worries

[notactuallyiron]

Don't really have the suit for it.

8D;

[canyouregulate]

Could always try skinny dipping.

I'm loling tbh

[notactuallyiron]

Maybe if your girlfriend asked nicely.

then my mission is complete

[canyouregulate]

You couldn't handle my girlfriend. From what I've seen, you can't handle your own.

[spider_kisser]

[MJ will be to the side, chuckling under her breath here.]

Never change, Tony.

[notactuallyiron]

Why mess with perfection?

[spider_kisser]

Sometimes imperfection is totally perfect just the way it is. Trust me, I know.

[notactuallyiron]

Hey, this? [ _{he waves a hand over himself.} ] Total perfection. You know. If you don't mind the [ _{waves a hand at the arc reactor} ] hardware.

[spider_kisser]

[MJ rolls her eyes] Yeah, sure.

Like the Bruce up there, I feel obligated to tag every Tony I see.

[10_rings_to_rule]

Ah yes... Rapture. Ironic name, no? A true testament to the futility of your capitalistic ideas, Stark. Like you, it is nothing more than a hollow, meaningless, pile of scrap.

You deserve it, Stark.

oh my god /explodes

[notactuallyiron]

Thanks. That truly warms my heart. Really, it does.

He's still on the look out for any Trevors. ...He wants to acquaint him with each of the 10 rings..

[10_rings_to_rule]

Oh? No quips? No smart-allek remarks? Odd, considering the arrogance you wear thicker than even your suit of armor.

I doubt the possibility of you truly understanding the difference between us, but perhaps you are the more reasonable of your counterparts.

oh ho ho :|c

[notactuallyiron]

[ _{he shrugs.} ]

Look, I don't really have the time for two-bit dried up actors. I've got things to do elsewhere, like literally anything else.

Yeah... he's not too happy about that. >.>

[10_rings_to_rule]

[He twitches an eyebrow.]

You misunderstand. I am the true Mandarin. Not some buffoon set up by some misguided fool to cover his tracks.

I am the successor to the empire of Genghis Khan. These rings are the sign the gods have given me to denote my destiny. Once I crush you and bring your empire down around your ears, the rest of the world will follow. If you require further proof that I am who I say I am...

[He reaches into his robes and pulls out a piece of yellow metal. Upon closer inspection, it's easily identifiable as a piece of the Iron Man armor's face-plate, but looks it was ripped off rather than cut.]

A trophy I keep from my first encounter with the 'Invincible Iron Man.'
