Who: Tony Stark and you!
Broadcast: Video
Action: N/A
When: Aug 21
[ so, he's arrived and rogue filled him in on the important details of who was here that he may know - or may yet know, thanks to timelines being what they are. it's the sort of thing he's had experience dealing with before, but it was still annoying. in luceti, no one else had been privy to details that hadn't happened to him yet. if they even pertained to the same version of him - tony was well aware of the fact that there were several other iterations of himself somewhere out there in the cosmos. he's gotten used to it. ]
Alright - so, I'm here. [ does he even need to introduce himself? everyone knows who he is, right??? of course they do. ] Sound off if you think we need to talk and I'll use my flawless judgment to decide if it's worth my time.
[ yep. ]
For the rest of you, I need to know about switching my augment. As much as I like having my name on a door, I'm not here to help anyone sort out their issues. Believe me - that's not good for anyone. Especially me.

Haha, yeah, that's a good way of looking at it! I suppose it would be good to find out if it really works...and as long as you're careful, I think you'd be alright. [The question earns a bit of a shrug, though.] Oh, but you did mention--you said you were here, when you started on this post! So I figured you probably hadn't been here before. At least not for very long...
[And it looks like he was right, so that's something! But that also means...oh, right. He straightens, and waves a bit at the feed with a gloved hand.]
But, that's right, that means I should introduce myself! I'm Megaman, it's nice to meet you. Ah, I don't think you ever mentioned your name...? [Sorry Tony looks like you'll have to introduce yourself after all HE'S JUST...TRYING TO BE POLITE DON'T LOOK AT HIM....]
no subject
[ also what parent in their right mind names their kid that? ]
Oh, me? I'm Iron Man. [ said with a completely straight face. ]
no subject
Superhero? Oh, no! No, nothing like that...it's just standard naming protocol! Although it's not so normal here, I guess... [Ah and he'd gone so long without anybody pointing it out, too...things he still needs to get used to, he supposes. He shrugs, a bit sheepishly.] I'm a NetNavi, actually--a type of computer program.
[But he pauses after Tony introduces...himself....and that would also be a perfectly acceptable Navi name, to be honest, but after having somebody already run that particular made-fun-of gauntlet before (thanks Oren you're a bro) Megaman's a bit more liable to frowning at it this time. And he does, tilting his head slightly...but at least this time--]
And...you're a superhero, then?
no subject
Par for the course. Not a computer program, though - just so you know, before you feel like bonding with me over it.
[ aren't you so glad he saved you that trouble, there. :| ]
no subject
And so, with all that considered, he does perk up a bit again when Tony makes his guess so quickly.]
Yes, that's about right! They put me in this frame when I got here...I guess they didn't think I would be much good staying in a network. [WHICH HE'S STILL A BIT PUT-OFF ABOUT because that's still pretty rude, honestly!! They hadn't even asked him if he wanted a robot body or not...but Tony's next statement earns a bit of a laugh.]
Ah, gotcha--it's okay, though! I'm sure we could bond over plenty other things anyway, probably... [IS THAT SARCASM OR IS IT NOT with that innocent smile it's probably a bit difficult to tell, what a mystery] And you'd prefer I call you Iron Man, then? Um, since from what I know about superheroes they usually have other names that aren't their superhero names, right...?
no subject
plus there's the fact that tony doesn't really...bond. he banters. it's very different. ]
Tony's fine, but I'll answer to Iron Man. Whatever's clever. I also answer to 'boss', if you're looking for work.
[ or rather, looking to be bossed around by him. ]
no subject
But, in the meantime, he can do banter too! ...Sort of!]
Well, I haven't really been looking for work lately, so I guess it's Tony for now! [He laughs a bit--but well, even then...] If you ever need help with something I wouldn't mind lending a hand, though! Especially since things can be pretty confusing at first, when you're new. I'm an engineer here, so--if something ever breaks? [He shrugs slightly.] Or if you want help building something, maybe...
no subject
Your loss. I'm an amazing boss. [ just look at pepper! she turned out fine and now she's the boss! ] See, I don't really need help building things - I'm kind of an engineering triple threat. Wunderkind. Renaissance man. Whatever you want to call it. But if you need help, I can maybe be convinced to pitch in. Maybe.
