Mark I - Video;

[aggravating]

[The camera is facing the wall. An interesting thing, seeing as there must be some sort of reason someone would purposefully start broadcasting a picture of the wall. Perhaps it was going to change? Perhaps there was a pattern hidden there, something just slightly off-white patterned there. Some hidden message, some hidden meaning. Perhaps all the answers to life were in that one little piece of a room, that one, focused image of a wall being sent around the barge. Perhaps-]

Back in black! [Oh.] I hit the sack [Is that-] I've been too long [Oh no.] I'm glad to be back!

[And just like that, AD/DC at full force in the background, the camera is picked up, held up and at an angle pure myspace style, revealing one Tony Stark in all his business suited glory.] Honey, I'm home! [Aaaand down goes the communicator on the nearest desk.] And, so we're all on the same page here, I fully endorse a battle royale to figure out who honey is. Although I warn you now, I'm a picky soul, and my heart belongs to one thing and one thing only.

[Wait for it, pause for dramatic effect, drum roll please!

... Yeah he's just stepping aside to show the Mark VII in all it's powered down glory.]

It's the red and gold that got me. I still say I go with the red suit and you wear the gold lace, babe.

I believe the lace would flatter your figure better, sir.

Fair point. [Yup. That's one smart-talking computer program that's followed Tony to the barge. Again. JARVIS is practically a part of him at this point. But at the very least Tony seems to be calming down, finally sitting at the desk the communicator's on and tilting it up a little to eye the camera a bit better.] Quick debrief. I'm back of my own free will. Lacking the invisible shackles this time around, and this? [Have a quick wiggle of his phone] I got promoted to camp counselor. So someone get the blogs out and give me updates.

[Alright, alright. You have the whole preparation thing over him. Because while Tony could throw something together and involve his suit in some way, he's kind of short the fireworks, light show, back up dancers, and fog machines.

For now, anyway.

So he's just raising his eyebrows, actually looking mildly impressed which, really, is a rare thing for Tony Stark.]

Seven. [He waves his hand out, gesturing towards the camera even though he knows Megamind won't be able to see what he's outlining on his end.] Points for style, but. Mmm. Giant head?

It's your thing, I get that, but maybe a little on the side of too pompous.

[Says the guy who hired girls to dance in skimpy Iron Man outfits during an expo opening and who hangs paintings of himself everywhere in his house.]

[megamind]

[ Megamind lets the song play out and then kills the light and noise, a hand gesture at his throat signalling the 'end' of the show. ]

Look, you have shiny, incredibly ostentatious armor -- points to you for that, though, because seriously, flaunt what you've got... and I've got a big head with incredible genius inside. I gotta flaunt what I got!

Also, I didn't have any of my bigger robots to be awesome. Can only fit so much in a cabin, even the bigger warden ones.

[aggravating]

Ostentatious? Uh. [Do you see the face he's pulling, Megamind. Do you see it.] Classy. Iconic. Unforgettable, maybe. Not quite on the ostentatious side of the scale.

[Oh wait] Not rocking the chains and shackles anymore?

[Not that any of them ever were as inmates, but you know what he means]

[megamind]

I'll give you the iconic. The face is really good, as 'heroic vissages' go. Scary enough to be "oh my god, it's Iron Man!" but not so bad that the little old ladies freak out too badly. Not quite so deep in the uncanny valley that it can't make it work, right?

[ oh yeah Tony's been gone for months. ]

Yeah, got sprung a few months ago. Went home for a bit, cleared up the city, went heroic, blah blah blah. You know the gig.
