[While normally Tony would have put up a fancy weapons demonstration for this, after the... fiasco the other day, he figures it's better to just do this as soon as possible. He can do the theatrics later when he actually has the products out. For now, he's just trying to get a general feel for interest. Death can temper even Tony's love for flash.

He said he wasn't going to make weapons anymore, but in an isolated place like this with a company so limited, he figures it's okay.]

I'm reinstating both the weapons and vehicle manufacturing divisions. City Solutions will now be constructing high-tech weaponry. If you want one, register your information with the front desk. And get a license - I really don't like showing up for court, got it?

Apparently I used to make cars here. Interesting what kind of paperwork you find when you actually go through 'em. Or the paperwork you make your employees go through. Either way, City Solutions isn't named City Solutions without a reason. You need a motorcycle or car, we've got 'em for you. After a down payment, proof of credit, and about a month to slap one together, of course.

Sorry, Rhodey. Your plane'll have to wait.

[He laughs - it was a joke.]

[orangetoughguy]

What does it take to move between departments?

[ironmanic]

I could ask for a hand-written letter of formal request, but since I won't read it anyway- which department?

[valentineluke]

Autos are too great of an expense for most here, hence why the rarity of City gas stations.

[ironmanic]

But they look hot.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Hi, Tony. Mind ignoring the fact that he was dead on you for a while? 'Cause that's how he rolls now. ]

So how's a guy get you to make something that packs a whole lot of firepower? Howlin' Commandos don't like to play with anythin' normal.

[ voice ]

[ironmanic]

[He doesn't mind at all! Too awkward and too many feelings.]

Bat your eyelashes a few times and I might be convinced.

[He was gonna make you and Howard and Steve a few anyway.]

[boutant]

I have a few boys in engineering who can be shuffled around.

[ironmanic]

Sure you won't miss them too much?

[latenightfondue]

[ Usually he sticks his handsome face wherever he can, but audio is easier than seeing the looks people are offering him since the incident. ]

Y'need any help with the weapons, boss?

[ Video ]

[ironmanic]

Help is too strong a word.

But I wouldn't mind an extra set of hands or the company.

[prosopopoeia]

[Weapons, you say.]

I 'ave tested some of my weapons prototypes during zhe city's troubles. Zhe grenade launcher did well over zhe weekend.

voice;

[ironmanic]

A grenade launcher does sound fun. You do this kinda thing for a living?

[bedsidemanners]

How would you get a license?

[ironmanic]

It's a big city- I'm sure there's one somewhere around here. Hey, maybe the deities'll trade you for one.

[child_radical]

Nobody issues licenses here.

[ironmanic]

Nobody is a strong word.

audio:

[charring]

You know where to find me if you need help, Tony.

audio:

[ironmanic]

Sounds like a fun social event, doesn't it? Soldering and melting metals down.

[threeolives]

Thanks for the heads up.

I'll see who I can find. What sort of energy are we talking about?

Text

[ironmanic]

anything that's not non-renewable. i'm interested in anything other worlds might have to offer.

[saidrepent]

What kind of cars are we talking here? [In other words: hello, you have his attention.]

[ironmanic]

Hot ones. Fast ones. Sleek and energy-efficient.

[intheblanks]

Auto insurance is going to be a bitch in a city full of heavily armed guerillas.

[ironmanic]

Think of it as stimulating the economy.

[sixwinged]

Have any interest in building motorized inline skates?

video;

[ironmanic]

Motorized? This the new trend with kids these days?

[nothaunted]

Can you tell me more about what you mean by high-tech weapons?

text

[ironmanic]

i don't usually give away all my secrets.

[signatures]

How do we feel about grenade launchers, then?

[ironmanic]

A little old-school, but can be made modern and, as anything, better.

[candothat]

You are Mr. Tony Stark?

[ironmanic]

That would be me. You are?

[synanthrope]

What kind of deal are we going to make, Mr. Stark? You wouldn't want to disappoint me.

[You know.

Again.]

[ironmanic]

Wouldn't dream of it.

Cut of the profits? Or if you're not interested in money, access to whatever resources I get around here.

[worldofourown]

[Weapons? For these humans to kill each other with? Wonderful.]

What sort of weaponry?

[ironmanic]

Fun ones. The kind that go boom.

video; private

[nohometown]

My associate Delacroix and I have done some work in weapons designing here, Mr. Stark.

video; private

[ironmanic]

I've had the pleasure of meeting Delacroix. You wanna transfer over?

OOC

[born_nameless]

Just fyi...I assume that that was a private text, but energy is kind of Sparrow's thing (especially solar and wind), though Sparrow might be hesitant at first to work for a largish company that makes weapons.]

OOC

[ironmanic]

It is a private text, but if Sparrow is particularly good at hacking or anything, it would be completely all right with me if the text were intercepted. If not, I'll ask Pepper if she can make a public post appealing to anyone who may deal in energy. Pepper's all reasonable and stuff, so maybe she can talk Sparrow into working for them?

voice;

[morphic]

What kind of weaponry do you build? I have some knowledge in bomb making!

[Listen to that innocent voice! Now why would she know how to make bombs?]

(This comment does not exist)

[valentineluke]

*HELLO???!!! Got his attention*

[wetworking]

[Watching... you...

Ah. Opportunity.]

Is that where those bills were forwarded to?

[Those outrageous hospital ones.......]

[ironmanic]

That would be the one.

[entangles]

I apologize for what must sound like an uniformed question, but could you tell me a little more about your company?

[ironmanic]

We deal mostly with technology - advancing it, exploring it, and applying it. That's the short of it, anyway. I think Dawn's got a brochure somewhere.

[warmachine]

Does that mean I'll get more guns, though?

[ironmanic]

Is that a subtle hint for an upgrade on your armor?

[waitedforyears]

Don't much care 'bout the cars, but a gun sounds good to me. Or a sword.

[ironmanic]

You with a gun? I'm shaking in my boots.
