[ so he's just going to hop right on and start blabbering. ]

Yeah, gonna have to say that this? Noooot really the best idea you jokers could have had. I don't know if you've heard, but I'm..kind of a big deal. [ who hasn't heard of him. what blasphemy is this. everyone should have heard of him. ] Y'know, saved the world and all? I mean, it was sort of a package deal with some other guys, but let's be real here. I did a lot of the, uh. Heavy lifting.

[ ...yeah that's not really something he wants to remember right now why did he say that. his breathing picks up just a little bit, but he manages to keep control. so he disguises it as a sigh, waving a hand and sitting back. DISTRACTION DANCE. ]

That's not to say that the others weren't great too, I mean; Cupid and Fabio weren't too shabby, not to mention the old man and the warrior princess. Banner was pretty spectacular as well, and— What I mean to say is that I can be trouble all on my own, but the Jackson 5 might have a problem with me going missing.

[ not to mention his, y'know, girlfriend, who's probably flipping her shit right now. ]

So yeah, hey. If I could get a doctor's note or something, explaining that this time it's not my fault I'm gone, that'd be great. In the meantime --

[ it's not immediately apparent what he's doing, but he squints just a little as he begins tapping away at the device. after about ten seconds, he gets bored and stops. he is not pouting. it's a displeased scowl. he tosses the device onto the table (??? where is he that he has a table? the bar, of course) in front of him, and the voice comes in a little distant then. ]

-- yeah, not impressed. What else y'got? C'mon. Blow me away.


[ooc; at work, so tags might be a little spotty, but I couldn't help myself. here's this jerk. c:]

Who the fuck are you, Princess? [because maybe someone not knowing will BLOW HIM AWAY! Also totally not impressed.]

[video]

[repulsors]

[ wow hey what hey already with the namecalling, he can't decide if he admires the bravado or hates you for calling him princess. maaaybe a ltitle impressed. ]

Lemme guess, country bumpkin? Something like that? Thought they would have heard of me out in the boonies too, but I guess word can't really travel that fast.

Tony Stark. Iron Man? Ring any bells here? Come on. You're hurting my feelings.

[tangledintower]

[Oh, hey Tony. Rapunzel remembers you from the last times you were here.]

Welcome back, Mr. Stark!

[She grins at him a little. Tony is cool in her book, he's smart and he let her cater a whole party once. Though the smile falls a little bit. Being new in the City always sort of sucks.]

Right, right, introductions. I'm Rapunzel, you're in the City, it's sort of a pocket universe, and there's no leaving...sorry...
[She didn't make the rules, she's just being forced into following them, like everybody else.]

[repulsors]

....

[ interesting. also not what he would have expected. ]

Yknow, truth be told, not really the type of thing I would have expected to hear you say. [ you're so...blonde. and smiley. right. judging books by their covers. not something he should do. ]

You said "welcome back." What- are you saying I've been here before? Think I'd remember it if I had.

[asofwar]

This is no joke.

[repulsors]

Are you sure about that? I mean, I'm not laughing either, but hey. Some people have a bad sense of humor.

[punchedhitler]

Tony.

[repulsors]

Cap. Long time no see.

[ not really, but ]

[subecho]

Stand very still, and I shall aim blow.

video;

[repulsors]

Y'know, unsurprisingly, I don't think I'm gonna take that offer. See, it's a- a figurative thing, there's blow, and blow, and then blow, and honestly, I don't think I want you doing any of them to me? No offense, of course. You understand. Right?

[ ...well. he is an Asgardian. maybe not. ]

[missrosetyler]

Saved the world you say? Well join the club, mate. Don't think this place really gives perks for that though.

[repulsors]

Really. That's a damn shame, I was kind of hoping for the whole shebang, y'know? Confetti, booze, some, uh. Fan appreciation.

You mentioned a club, right? Tell me you guys have drinks. I think I'm gonna need one.

[butmyipod]

Oh my god you're Tony Stark.

[repulsors]

[ FINALLY. the proper reaction. ]

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Take it you're from the hometeam too, huh? What's your name, kid?

[exaltate]

[ Someone who talks more than Owain ...she never thought she'd see the day. At least, his speech seems somewhat less exaggerated. For now, at least. ]

A warrior with such claims shouldn't be so hasty to judge his situation, but if you're truly as good as you say, be prepared to take action. The City stirs often and never rests, and as some might have told you already, there is no way out.

video;

[repulsors]

Yeah, so I've heard, about that- No way out. Apparently some of you have been around for a couple years. [ seriously what the hell is with that ] And no one's found a way out yet? Do you guys just sit around and twiddle your fingers, or what?

video;

[yourlastdance]

Aw, have you finished waxing poetic about yourself? I was rather impressed for a moment, there!

video;

[repulsors]

Actually, I could probably keep going - figured it might be a good idea to pause for questions, comments, adoration. Y'know. The usual. Though I'm kind of getting the feeling I'm gonna be let down. Could just be me, but I'm holding out hope I might be wrong.

So, what's your story? Just like to hear people talk, or do you feel like joining the party?

video;

[doeswhathewants]

Whoa, hey, Tony Stark. Are you here to save us, Mister Man of Iron?

video;

[repulsors]

Debatable. Doesn't look to me like this place needs any saving, aside from the, y'know, place being a little broken. Know anything about that, pipsqueak?

[skintoskin]

[Hey, Stark. Have the 'stark' face of the not-impressed.]

What the fuck are you smoking?

oh my gosh neil *A*

[repulsors]

Nothing, actually. If you'd believe that. I'm still not convinced that this whole thing isn't some kind of collective pipe dream, though. You sure you're not a figment of my imagination or something?

[paving]

You saved the world? That's pretty impressive! How did that happen?

[repulsors]

Eh, it was your standard "aliens led by guys with cow fascinations" thing. I'm really hoping there was no probing involved, but you never really know with those types.

Take it you're not part of the club Blondie mentioned, though, huh? The uh, I Saved the World and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt Club?

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ Wow, slow down with your ego. ]

You're not the first who's "a big deal" here. Don't think that'll do you any good.

[Video]

[repulsors]

[ that's physically impossible for him do you know what you ask ]

I'll make it work. Usually do. Although, now I'm kind of curious. Got an example? Of other "big deals", I mean.

( v i d e o )

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Pause. ]

One day you're gonna get here and remember we told you not to be an asshole the last time.

( v i d e o )

[repulsors]

Yeah, I wouldn't count on it if I were you. [ But is he being facetious or not? The world may never know. ] Natural state of being, et cetera. You get the idea.

Who's this "we", though? I have to say, you're not exactly ringing any bells. [ except that's not really true - you look kiiiiind of familiar, but he's not placing it. ]

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ Well, he doesn't usually expect much, it's easier to go with the flow, and in this case it's probably for the best, which is why he's closer to amused than offended; he's not really been bragging about who he is back home, mostly out of habit from the whole secret assassin thing, so he's okay with it, really. ]

Never thought I'd miss your dulcet voice. Good to know you've not changed since the last time you stopped by.
