[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.

Actually it's a sort of metal prosthesis that goes of my entire body, let's me fly and shoot things, and is kind of strong enough to bend steel.

[He shrugs and grins] I got drunk at a party. Things were happening.

[buildindreemz]

You wore your metal, flying suit with guns to a party where you got drunk?

[She's starting to see why you're here, Tony.]

[aggravating]

It was my birthday. And to be fair, I was uh... kind of dying.

So my behavior was completely justifiable at that point.

Also, I only used the blasters on watermelon.

[buildindreemz]

Forgive me if I seem a little skeptical that what you did wasn't dangerous to other people, whether you were dying or not.

[aggravating]

[He shrugs a shoulder] Yeah, probably, but hey.

I have enough experience with being drunk to control myself.

[God does he need to be in AA back home.]

[buildindreemz]

[The most skeptical of skeptical looks is coming your way, Tony.]

The definition of "drunk" is "not being in control".

[aggravating]

[Shhhhhh just don't think about it]

You don't party much, do you?

[buildindreemz]

Nope. Too much else to do.

[aggravating]

Find me a keg and some speakers and we'll change that.

You've seriously never partied?

[buildindreemz]

[She just raises her eyebrows at him, looking vaguely amused.] It's not like I sit at home poring over books 24/7. I go out, but I'm not a big fan of clubs and bars with loud music, and I don't really like getting drunk.

[aggravating]

Honey, all you need is the right kind of party, and the right grade of alcohol.

I've yet to meet anyone who will turn down an free airfare to a pool party in a mansion in Dubai.

[buildindreemz]

Well, I might be willing to go on a free trip to Dubai, if only because I've never been there before.

But it might depend on what the catch was.

[aggravating]

No catch, no catch. Why does everyone always think there's a catch?

I mean, we're stuck on an interdimensional space barge right now, but hey. We ever get near my mansion? You get grade-A Tony Stark VIP party status.

[buildindreemz]

Could I bring a plus-one? For the VIP treatment, I mean. [She's totally just yanking his chain now.]

[aggravating]

Hey, if threesomes are what you're into.

[He can yank right back B) ]

[buildindreemz]

[Smirk!]

I've never tried one, but Arthur might like it.
