[ Ariadne is sitting on the couch, an orange kitten curled up on her lap. Behind her is a man, who seems to be holding a cup of coffee and looking out the window. ]

Well. [ She pauses, rubbing the back of her neck. ] My father's here, but if anyone else would like to say hello or needs anything, I'm still available. He said he'll be going out for a walk in a little bit anyway.

[ As if on cue, the man pulls away from the window and heads for the kitchen. Ariadne watches him go, some of the tension gone when she looks back at the camera. ]

I'm Ariadne. Welcome to the City.

((ooc: Open for fourth walling! Please no telling her she's from a movie. Other than that, go wild~))

It's Tony Stark.

[ Like this explains everything. ]

[feorge]

Bless you.

[ She sneezed, right? 'cos that means nothing to him. ]

[boutant]

City Solutions Tony Stark? You guys did the fireworks for his gala.

[feorge]

I make explosions for fun. Do you honestly expect me to remember every bloke I make 'em for?

[boutant]

Considering how big the party was? Yeah, it might be a good idea.

[feorge]

Damn. Well, reckon I'll just have to find the pervy old sod at some point.

[boutant]

I'm sure you'll see him around.

[feorge]

He's not going to ask after my sex life, is he?

[boutant]

Probably not.

[feorge]

Then I look forward to the day.

[ So he can hex him six ways to Sunday. ]

[boutant]

Please don't do anything irreversible to my boss.

[feorge]

I do so solemnly swear not to do anything that can't be reversed with a simple counterspell or that won't fade with in a week or seven.

[boutant]

Would you perform the counterspell?

[feorge]

Depends largely on how generous of a mood I'm in.

[boutant]

I can't buy anything from the shop without a paycheck, you know.

[feorge]

You say that as though George hasn't been feeding you Canary Creams.

[ Y E P he went there. ]

Kinky, that. A mite embarrassing, but kinky.

[boutant]

[ EYEROLL. ]

I haven't had a free Canary Cream since the day I met him.

[feorge]

'course not. That'd just be preposterous.

[ teasing forever brb ]

[boutant]

He's cheap when it comes to the merchandise. No discounts.

[ Ah well, she doesn't mind. ]

[feorge]

Colour me surprised. I didn't know he had the heart for it.

[ Honestly. He'd give her discounts. Maybe. Probably. ]

[boutant]

That's why part of your Christmas present was the fact that I bought other Christmas presents there. I'm not that cheap usually, but it was a lot.

[feorge]

[ He is just going to laugh now. ]

Brilliant, ta.

[boutant]

Anytime.
