1st Command; Video

[aggravating]

[This is so not his idea of a vacation, guys. You have no idea. But at the very least, the man peering at the screen isn't flipping out or anything. In fact, he just seems to have a sort of cool and composed air to him. If, you know, he was anything other than pissed right now.]

Okay, yeah. Fun times. Sitting on a boat in the middle of space while the world is, literally, going to hell back home without me, all because this is supposed to part of some self-awareness spiritual journey crap?

[He's been doing his homework]

Right, uh. Someone point me to the fun part of this ship, because I'm not buying into this prisoner shtick right now. Oh, and. Give me that phone call home, boss. I need to sick my lawyers on all of your asses.

Because you kind of took my property. And my AI. And my ride home.

[He makes a frustrated sound in the back of his throat, looking around before reaching down, pulling a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, ignoring the slightly bent out of shape frames - he'd kind of fallen on them more than a few times - and slipping them right up to rest on the bridge of his nose]

For anyone stupid enough to not know who I am, I'm Tony Stark. Iron Man. And the first person who asks for an autograph is getting thrown overboard.

[Heeeeello there~]

You, however, are officially invited to what will soon become the cool side of this floating scrap of tin.

[buildindreemz]

[Hello, Tony, have an unimpressed young architect.]

There will be quite a few people who don't know who you are, because they come from universes where you don't exist.

Just saying.

[aggravating]

[Yeah... he's not gonna let that unimpressed attitude go on for too long, that's for sure]

And that... is a travesty worth investing in.

[Did he die and go to the land of beautiful women? Seriously, what is this magical place?]

I'm always open for demonstrations of my talents. Just throwing that out there.

[Video | Public] /edits a billion times

[slayage]

[Here Tony, meet Buffy, a young woman who is unfazed and unimpressed by your display of egotistical richness.]

Literally going to hell, huh? We talking apocalypse? Or just some really bad stock market issues..

Also? We? Didn't take anything. That's all on our vague and mysterious chaotic invisible captain-y... guy. [Wow okay that sounds even worse than she thought it would. ..Smile? Look she's smiling. Everything's okay.]

[Video | Public] I am guilty of that so often <3

[aggravating]

Try evil Russian psychopath and his parrot of doom crashing my party and breaking my toys.

[Three for three for beautiful women. Hot damn.]

Yeah, uh. When you kind of work for the 'invisible captain-y guy' sorry to say that usually includes you in the general theft of things.

[yeahscience]

[Whatever, X-Men > Iron Man.]

No phone calls, yo. No phones.

[aggravating]

[Aaaaaand his hope that this is a ship full of beautiful women is ruined. Thanks, mystery dude.]

Uhhh I call violation of rights? [Excuse him as he shoots a hand up] Yeah, pleading the first. I hereby demand to be able to call for a pizza at any time of my choosing.

[demigoddess]

[ She's never heard of Iron Man, and she doesn't like his arrogance, but she can't not be helpful to a new arrival who is worried about the same thing she was just two days ago. ] Don't worry about the world Tony, it'll be just as you left it when you return. That being said, I don't know how much help your lawyers are going to be.

But on the plus side, this place can be pretty fun. [ And she's only been here a couple of days. ] Why just last night there was a great pool party. And if that's not your thing, there's other stuff to do.

I'm Cassie. Welcome aboard.

[aggravating]

Just like? [This one's a bit young to be fully flirting with, unfortunately. Or, well, on the younger side. But still] Can't put in for a petition for less clothes and more blondes?

Oh no, pretty sure a pool party is just my thing. Please tell me there's at least a few drinks in this place.

Thanks, but. Still waiting for the glowing exit sign to show up.

[gotgreenmagic]

You again? Whatever.

I like that you did enough reading to know where you are and approximately what you're here for but not enough to realize that you are way, way out of range of a) your lawyers or b) anyone who cares about due process.

Or that there is no ride home from here.

[aggravating]

Uh, no, actually. Read that, saw that, didn't like it, ignored it.

See, where there are ways in, there are also ways out. Even if you have to punch the holes yourself and see where it gets you.

... Okay yeah, the lawyers were kind of a long shot. Thought I might as well try.

Byyy the way. What do you mean by again?

[creatingalegacy]

[Amanda laughs a little, honestly stunned.]

Gonna sic your lawyers on us? The Admiral didn't respond when I told him exactly how I planned to murder him, so good luck getting him to change his mind.

[aggravating]

You haven't met my lawyers. I'm pretty sure the Admiral would jump out a window rather than sit through an hour of them hashing it out.

[He's really liking all the ladies on this ship. So uh, hi.



... Pepper's gonna kill him. But it will be a good death.]

[maybebatman]

That's no way to treat the fans. What are you supposed to famous for, again?

[aggravating]

Uh, how about just about everything ever? I mean. Microsoft is pretty much obsolete now that I've jumped into their section of the world, I'm currently in the early works for an energy plan that will put everything else to shame, I'm probably the only person in the world who can design fully functioning AI programs and- oh, right.

I have a flying, ass-kicking super suit.

[reactivates]

Literally going to hell? As in, what, an apocalypse? Or misuse of the word literally?

[aggravating]

Uh, never a misuse of the word literally. I was literally in hell. I was being choked by a Russian's energy whip, my best friend was doing marginally better than I was, and we were kind of in the 'kill box' or whatever Rhodey said, and...

Oh, yeah.

And an idiot crashed my Expo.

[trenchcoatedly]

If you're only human, it's doubtful you'd be able to do much regarding the Apocalypse anyway.

[aggravating]

Hey. I'll have you know I'm a bonafide, newsworthy hero.

I saved Gulmira.

... Once.

[ichoosefight]

Man, it feels so good to be able to say I've never heard of you and I totally don't want an autograph.

What are you, in a heavy metal band or something?

[aggravating]

Only once. In college. It was a thing.

But uh, no. Iron Man's kind of my super hero name. You know, robot flying through the skies? Shooting crap and saving people?

[likeaprofessional]

We don't even get cable here, man. Best of luck with calling home. And no one stays dead, either, so you throw someone overboard and they'll snitching on the network about it within an hour.

[also his sunglasses are cooler.]

[aggravating]

[No way, man. His are probably the best.

After all, they're red.]

That needs to be fixed. Either that or someone needs to at least get Gilligan's Island playing 24/7.

[He does tsk, though]

What if I throw them a rope and let them get dragged for a while?

[with_my_teacup]

[Riddick has been grounded from his usual fuck-one-another-up partner and is grating at it. No violence, fine-- well, no it isn't, that's half of his communication skills cut off. But he can troll.]

Golly, Mister Stark. I need an autograph bad.

[aggravating]

[He twitches. A good, old twitch that eventually bleeds into a sickly sweet smile]

There's a deck here, right?

[peektuttut]

[Yeah Tim's just going to ignore all of the questions and let someone els deal with them. He knows Tony was on board...clearly a different universe's Tony, or a different version of himself (has he mentioned he hates the multiverse), and frankly there are MUCH MORE interesting things to deal with rn.]

Your AI? [Go on, sir, he is intrigued.]

[aggravating]

JARVIS. [It's kind of barked out immediately, and he waits a second, before making a face at the lack of response from his British companion] Yeah, he's kind of my house, normally.

You know, runs security sweeps, controls the locks, lights, fireplaces. Organizes files and reminds me of meetings.

Pretty sure I programmed him to be giving whoever took my suit a bit of a lecture, right now.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[Oh boy he said Stark. There is no getting around that, he definitely said Stark and he is definitely no Stark she knows. Sorry Tony you will now have a tiny stalker.]

Where's home?

[Useless comment]

[yeahscience]

[This is not even a thing that had occurred to him, but the second he sees her post he's like, shit. He's just gonna camp out and watch this thread for a bit...]

sob I'm sorry, have half my characters

[wecanavenge]

Iron Man? [Lol these names just get more and more ridiculous, don't they. He'll have to have a word with 'Mystique' if he ever gets out of here.]

Never be sorry! 8D

[aggravating]

Yeah, currently working on getting Forbes to list it as the best superhero name.

[Tony watch it, your ego is showing]

[batmanschmatman]

Believe me, I think we'd all be up for a phone call home.

[aggravating]

Give me a few pieces of wire, some form of AM/FM radio - or a microwave - and I'll get that phone call.

[He's totally serious, too]

[wedonot]

That's an interesting codename.

[aggravating]

Hey, not like I chose it. Just kind of went with what the headlines were blaring.

[It's actually a gold-titanium alloy an-]

Besides, means I come with theme music.

[Which. Is. In JARVIS' systems. Which is in his helmet.

Damn Captain took his tunes.]

[timesbureaucrat]

Why do they always ask for their lawyers?

You've been kidnapped by an interdimensional entity. You don't get your Earth version of due process here.

For the record, you are not, in fact, renowned throughout the galaxy and the multiverse and not all of the population here is Terran including myself. I don't know who you are and I rather wish it could have stayed that way.

[aggravating]

Fine, then. Universal laws activate or whatever. Doesn't Earth have an embassy yet? Pretty sure Fury would have had his ass in that the second the words were thought up.

[He grins, raising his eyebrows behind those slightly crooked sunglasses of his]

You won't be saying that in a week, trust me.

Video

[some_kinda_hero]

[Here, Tony, have an overly excited blonde on your screen. She is smiling brightly, widely, and looking oh so hopefully into the camera.] Tony! When did you get here??

Video

[aggravating]

[Hey, excitement he can work with! Especially from females.

Tony tends to get along better with them. At least. Until he puts his foot in his mouth]

Okay, if I'm understanding this correctly - which I am, unless the information I've been slowly getting fed has all been from the mouths of idiots - this is either a sign that you know my name, or... that whole alternate-universe was here before thing.

[ Video ]

[surfaceshine]

[He was laughing when he turned the video on, intending to calm down and say something.

He doesn't calm down. He just laughs s'more, because really. Really.]

[ Video ]

[aggravating]

[You, Dean, are either going to be a really entertaining person to Tony, or someone he kind of wants to punch in the face.

... Right now he's hovering about halfway between both.]

I'll take that as a no on the knowing who I am. Because normally people are usually A) pissing themselves with fear, B) trying to rip off my armor, or C) shoving a camera in my face.

[captain_jtkirk]

The fun part would be the pub.

[aggravating]

Finally. Someone who almost speaks my language.

Where's the pub?

[darknessb4me]

I've seen you before, but I think I prefer you as an inmate.

Arthas Menethil. There's no need to bow.

[oh man is your signature thing mario because I think it got 1UP'D]

[aggravating]

[You sir, have an ego to rival his own.]

I think I'd just prefer to be gone. [At the very least, he seems to have had a reputation of some sort. That's always good.]

Yeah, unless you're six feet of pure, exotic sex. That on my knees thing isn't happening.

Audio;

[weshouldnthaveto]

What makes you so important? [Impress her, Tony. She dares you.]

Audio;

[aggravating]

Uh, just about everything? Hair, teeth, killer smile, complete and total genius?

[burnitdown]

[He's sure he's heard the name Tony Stark somewhere before. But on top of all that self-centered narcissism, it's the name Iron Man that really gets John's attention.]

Famous for what? Dorkiest code name ever?

[aggravating]

Hey, the people named their hero. I just decided it would be kind of stupid to make the newspapers recall and correct everything.
