[ ... Okay, sure. This made sense.

This guy looks like he's some sort of cross between playing it off and being just... disappointed in what's happening. Because really. Kidnap someone, at least make it exciting. Or don't kidnap them, and let them get back to their own exciting lives.

But at least he's recording, and he knows it. He's already familiar with the device, and the third look on his face is the one he's wearing while he thinks of what he can do with it. ]

Must've been a hell of a night. Somebody tells me I've been here already? Must've been too - I've got a usual. Not bad. A little creepy. So spit it out, come forward before the court, whatever. Somebody come tell me something interesting.

I was wondering when you'd drop in. Time to brush up on your quantum theory.

[someone is very quietly pleased and a feeling a bit bad about being pleased]

[ruthless_hunter]

[Stark's back again, hm?]

You remember me this time or we gonna have to get intros outta the way again?

[threeolives]

[Pepper had been half asleep, but she told JARVIS once Tony had left to alert her if he ever came back again.]

Tony! Where are you, I'll come get you.

video; OH HI

[asofwar]

You return with no memory - it is beginning to look like a pattern.

[justamessenger]

Do you usually party so hard you end up in another dimension?

[doeswhathewants]

You are in [Finger quotes] "The City," there is no known way out aside from those who took you tossing you back out. Ah- iterations of you have been here before.

[aperfectthird]

Mr. Stark. Welcome back.

[infernoandhearth]

Oh, were you here before too? That's quite interesting in itself. There's a unicorn in the zoo, here. Are you looking for something interesting more geared towards whatever your actual interests are? It's alright. I'll wait here for you to explain.

[fe_male]

[ Hey you look kind of... familiar. ]

Starting to notice. That actually help with anything though?

[fe_male]

I think you can consider half of them taken care of. [ Given that you seem to know him. ] What's up, Geodude?

[fe_male]

[ Holy god it's Pepper. Thank god. ]

Bounced off a damn fountain? Went to find a bandaid - not too far away from it though, I like to keep an eye on my enemies.

[fe_male]

Third time's the charm. We know each other well?

[fe_male]

Sometimes I wind up feeling like I did; this would be the first time it's actually the case.

[fe_male]

[ oh, god, 'The City'. 'The'? That doesn't sound good. ]

So where are they and how do you get voted off the island?

[fe_male]

[ What is this, do you work for him? Why does he keep hiring redheaded assistants. Who are you. You just look like somebody's assistant. ]

Good to see you too, ... [ Meaningful pause here. ]

[justamessenger]

Oh man. I so want an invite to your next party.

[fe_male]

[ .... okay you win the 'What is this city on' contest; please accept your award at the door and pick up your restraining order on the way out of the building. ]

Not unicorns. There's a unicorn? You got any computers around here that aren't whatever these are passing off as? [ And by 'these' he means the devices, by the way he shakes his around. ]

[fe_male]

I'm sure I'll manage a little 'Welcome Back for the First Time Ever, Tony!' shindig pretty soon. Please feels like it needs a little breaking into.

[justamessenger]

You've been here before? So was I! I has gone for four months here.

[fe_male]

[ Seriously discouraging. ]

I see that worked out real well for you.

[justamessenger]

Yes! It totally did. This place is the greatest.

[fe_male]

[ Somebody failed the sarcasm test. ]

You like it here?

[justamessenger]

[She always fails that test.]

Yes. It's seriously the greates and coolest ever here. Not everyone thinks so but I do.

[doeswhathewants]

They have an office, with hours and request forms and all that. But how and why people are taken or sent home remains unknown.

[infernoandhearth]

There's a unicorn. There are definitely more advanced computers, if that's your priority. [A smirk. It is definitely an "I know something you don't know" smirk, because Luke always pays attention to the other conversations someone is having.] I'd try City Solutions.
