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.

[ tony at least never had a double of him show up in luceti. a facetwin? sure. but double? fortunately not. ]

My old man mentioned you a handful of times. [ not as much as old dad talked about steve rogers, but bucky found his way into some of those stories. ] Kind of thought you died, but apparently not.

You're mistaken.

[ On more than one account as far as he was concerned, though he wasn't going to specify. Mistakes happened here. ]

Evidently. I also know different universes play by different rules and butterfly-effect shit goes crazy all over the place, so what I may be quote-unquote mistaken about may actually only be a mistake according to your series of events.

[ because as far as he knew, bucky barnes had not miraculously survived to the present day like cap had. ]

No offense, I kind of liked Forties-you better. Sharper haircut. A bit more chummy.

[ Is it obvious that he's stopped paying attention in the middle of that? Because he may have. ]

I don't understand.

[ There is another version of him? The notion is a bit unsettling. ]

[ once upon a time, tony would have been too short on patience to explain this, but that's no longer the case. he's a little surprised to find this out himself, actually. maybe he's just feeling nostalgic about the bucky he knew before. ]

Yeah, so - this whole being-stuck-in-an-alternate-universe-on-a-spaceship thing? It's happened to me before. Except, it was a rural village instead of a spaceship. And you were there. Except it was you before you got all, um, scruffy.

[ yeah sure scruffy. let's go with that. ]

..This has happened to a few others, too.

[ He thinks of Nova immediately, and a few more happen to come to mind after. Tony sounds a lot like Natasha had- in another time and another place, crossing paths.. ]

Yeah, it's a real fun tradition, let me tell you.

[ except he...probably won't say much more about it. what happened in luceti stays in luceti. ]

I wouldn't know.

And it's a crying shame. You've never truly lived until someone turns you into a muppet.

[ okay maybe he'll bring it up a little. ]

...A what?

A muppet. You know. Everyone knows what muppets are.

....Sorry.

[ Still a no. ]

My god, you poor soul.

[ actually you know what, he's gonna explain this, because it's going to be hella entertaining. ]

See, there's this frog - Kermit - he runs the show. But he's got this pig after him. No, really, a pig. Miss Piggy. She's got the hots for Kermit, and they have this whole gang that puts on a most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, muppetational show.

..If you say so.

[ He definitely doesn't get it. You're just speaking nonsense, Tony. ]

[ that is generally true even when people know what he's talking about. ]

Clearly, you need a muppecation. We'll work on that. Any other gaps in your pop-cultural knowledge I need to fill in for you?

[ He shrugs, shaking his head. ]

I don't know.

[ A very obvious 'everything'. ]

Is that...necessary here?

Very. [ no it's not. don't listen to him. ] So many references are gonna go flying right over your head.

It sounds like the problem is yours, not mine.

[ He doesn't really think he cares much on the topic, but if Tony is pushing it...well. ]

I'm just trying to help a guy out. For old time's sake. Your loss.

Are you?

[ Are you really, Tony? I call shenanigans. ]

Paranoid much? [ ahaha. ] Believe me. You haven't lived until you've see Die Hard.

I think I'll manage somehow.

[ BUT WILL YOU ]

Suit yourself. If you change your mind, you know who to call.

I'm not so sure about that.

[ Definitely not sure about you, tho. You're sketchy as hell. ]
