[ The video feed crackles to life, and on the screen is a man looking equal parts composed and annoyed. He settles into the frame and smiles wryly.]

I'm not going to waste time here asking where we are, since I'd like to think we can all recognize space, but fair warning: you've got about [ he looks at his watch ] 2 minutes before I start taking this place apart. Not a threat, just making you aware that without a pretty impressive explanation, I will cannibalize your lovely and expensive ship and fly myself home.

[ He smiles briefly and with no humor before sitting back in his chair and tapping his watch. ]

Comments

[housepartyprotocol]

Wow, that was honestly more literal than I was expecting.

[stagstorm]

You're a peculiar man. Do you have a name or would giving it bewilder you further?

[housepartyprotocol]

Tony Stark.

[stagstorm]

Stark. You don't look much like a Stark. [He is no expert on family history, but he didn't think there were many Starks left outside of Ned's immediate family. Still...]

[housepartyprotocol]

Is there a look you're more familiar with? Higher beard volume maybe?

[stagstorm]

Aye. And more lordly. [Tony Stark looks noble enough... but only because of the care put into his beard trimming. Peasants didn't bother with that. Nor did most lords, given the nature of Robert's own bushy beard.]
