It's like being in Tokyo all over again - only with less medical masks and fewer stilettos stabbing my feet. And strange men against my ass on the subway.

[Tony is waiting in line at the donut place, checking his inbox and scrolling through the Network as he does.]

I hate lines. Lines are for peons- Pepper, Dawn. Get me VIP standing with this donut place, would you? Throw around words like investment and stocks. You're both good at that.

Also-- if you could set me up an appointment with our friendly neighborhood gods. I'd like to take them out on a lovely candlelit date. Preferably within the week, but whatever. I've got egg creams. No rush.



[ooc | COME AT ME WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT. Doubles, AUs, whatever! Also, Pepper and Dawn-muns! You don't actually have to set up that appointment haha.]

[The terrible thing about crowds is that they're a breeding ground for pickpockets.

Like this one. Oh hey, it's a magical thief with a tail.

--stealing your wallet, Mr. Big Shot. Or whatever it is you've got in your pockets.

No big deal or anything.]

[ironmanic]

[DID SOMEONE JUST STEAL HIS ZIPLOC OF CONDOMS (for emergencies) AND ALTOIDS?!

He looks around frantically, searching for the fiend!]

[happygolucky]

[Whoa, sir, you are a major disappointment. You looked like you'd have something a lot more worthwhile on you. Usually Zidane's so much better at picking out marks.

Oh well, live and learn! There are plenty of richer fish in the sea!

He's keeping some of those condoms, but he'll hand back the rest (he can't let a guy go without an emergency stash) along with the mints. The mint he's currently eating was definitely from some completely different source and had nothing whatsoever to do with this incident.]

Hey, y'dropped these!

[ironmanic]

[Money's kept in his bra coat pocket, tiny child. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIS CONDOMS.

Tony raises an eyebrow but accepts his ziploc.]

The world could use a few more kids like you. Honest, hard-working... very blond.

[happygolucky]

[He's a man, as far as he's concerned! He's great with the ladies. Though--he is short.

Zidane gives a bow, his tail rising into the air behind him and curling exaggeratedly as he does so.]

You're a very discerning individual, I can tell. As it so happens, I'm employed full time with the renowned, the inimitable, Tantalus Theatre Troupe. So you might say I'm one of the hardest working people in show business.

[This introduction done, he scratches his head, with a smile.] Not a kid, though--I'm sixteen! [And that's definitely not a kid, right?]

[ironmanic]

A sixteen year old-- what, exactly.

[Eying that tail]

[happygolucky]

I dunno. Your guess is as good as mine. I was found in the woods when I was just a baby. Haven't ever met anyone else like me.

I've tried looking for where I'm from, but-- [He shrugs.] No luck.

[ironmanic]

How about monkey-boy? You could start a whole new race, become the stuff of legends.

[happygolucky]

Heh, I've heard that one before. [His tail curls and uncurls itself, as if it has a mind of its own.]

Wonder if there's a monkey-girl out there somewhere. It'd probably be our duty to repopulate, so I hope she's cute. Not sure if it'll work with other types of girls, but I'm willing to go the distance, if that's what it takes.

[Getting with as many women as possible--a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.]

[ironmanic]

[Snickers]

You don't have a bad life ahead of you, kid. We could all use a few more monkey-people in our lives.

[happygolucky]

Very true. That's why I've got to make as many more of them as I can.

I've already had a pretty good life, so I guess it's just gonna get better from here. Especially if it involves a lot of pretty girls.

So what do you do here besides waiting in lines and complaining about it? [He asks this just as cheerfully as he's said everything else.]

[ironmanic]

Oh, nothing fancy. Make a few high-tech, state-of-the-art armored suits and throw a few awesome parties. Not a big deal.

[happygolucky]

Suits of armor aren't my style. [After all, he's not a knight. Armor'd just weigh him down.] What's so "state-of-the-art" about them? They fly or something? [Because high tech = airships, maybe?]

But I like the sound of those parties. You got any coming up soon?
