video ; [ironman]

[ enjoying your vacation yet, audentes?  

it's shortly after they spend a day warming up and 'hatching' the squidges, but before they've embarked on their journey across the frozen tundra that they receive the following video transmission.  despite his frequent bitching about it to everyone who would listen already, tony's wearing the ALASTAIR uniform for warmth - but they would get a view of his back as he turns away, where he's stitched IRON MAN across the back like it's a sports jersey.  he's tinkering with... something that's set up on a nearby rock, but his body blocks it entirely from view ]


I haven't met all of you yet, which is a real shame for you, because you're gonna wish you'd had someone to steal this idea from earlier.  

Tony Stark, Earth's Avengers, saved the world a few times, might have heard of us.  [ the cavalier delivery manages to mask pretty well any of his current reservations about the word 'hero', or about the Avengers in general, or about being good for his planet and not a potential menace to it, but those who know him are probably aware that it's the usual tony facade kicking into gear ]    Anyway, there's someone else I want you to meet.

C'mon, don't be shy.  The camera's your friend.  Know it, love it.  [ he's coaxing the thing on the rock, and as he steps closer to the camera, where he shifts the bracelet he's set there a hair to the left and steps aside.

this gives them a perfect view of a miniature suit of armor that is currently wobbing on top of the rock.  it's red and gold, and since the head is so large it probably looks a lot like this
stuffed toy.  it is perfectly squidge-sized, but the little guy is obviously baffled by this development and trying to shake out of the thing to zero avail ]

Amazing what you can requisition if you ask nicely.  I'll have to take ol' Lloyd for a space brew some day.   Hear that, Lloyd?  You and me.

This is Sparky, by the way.  He's still getting used to the -- [ he gestures at himself as if to indicate the armor, as the squidge rolls over onto its side ]   Totally safe from the elements in there.  Keeps him toasty, monitors vitals, I'm even working on a food dispensing unit... And the material?  Titanium alloy, great for--  [ with a loud squeak, sparky tries valiantly to get up and winds up falling straight backwards off the rock with a resounding clang, causing tony's head to swing that way. ]   -- falls.

Uh, one sec.   

[ he holds up a finger and steps away from the bracelet, accidentally shoving it slightly askew so that they can't see anymore as he does so ]

You put an infant in a metal can.

[ Sorry, Tony, he's not letting this go. ]

Tell me how well that would work with a human child.
anti_altruisms: (Look how many shits I give.)

If it isn't scarred for life after you're done with it, I'll be exceptionally surprised.
anti_altruisms: (It would be too much to hope.)

You can do that without locking it in a shell.
anti_altruisms: (The sun will shine again.)

Have you ever met a man who enjoyed being put in a cage?
anti_altruisms: (Fake it all you want.)

It's an infant. You put it in a tin can that moves.

[ How can he emphasize this any more?? ]

If this is your idea of child care, I can only imagine what you do with yourself.
anti_altruisms: (You may have to stop.)

[personal profile] anti_altruisms 2016-07-02 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Really, dude? You wanna go here? ]

You would know about that, I'm sure.
anti_altruisms: (Deal with it.)

[ siiiiiigh ]

Just try not to leave it in there the entire time.
anti_altruisms: (Is that right?)

[personal profile] anti_altruisms 2016-07-02 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You realize you aren't going to be here indefinitely to provide it with these "upgrades"?
anti_altruisms: (A thousand swords.)

Try not to step on it when you do.
