Who: Tony Stark [
privatizes and YOU.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: S.S. Pathstone.
When: Now!
[ tony has spoken to some folks on the fleet already, and has figured out a number of things.
1. this is not the first time he has been here. apparently, there have been multiple versions of him here, and therefore a good number of people aboard the fleet knows who he is. whether or not that's a good thing is yet to be determined.
2. there are alternate dimensions, universes, and worlds. which he knew already, thanks to loki and his fucking magical mystery tour of hell a few years ago, but it's a lot different here. memory mismanagement, different versions of different people... hawkeye is a chick now? sure, whatever. okay.
3. he has no suit. he has no lab. he has no money. he has literally nothing that he usually brings to the table when he does this whole 'good guy' thing, and so he has to make do with the weapons he does have.
4. the reality tv thing is probably bullshit, but you know what? let's do this thing.
so when tony finally turns on the camera to greet the fleet properly, he's sitting at the communications station on the pathstone, fiddling with a screwdriver in his hands. ]
So.
[ smooth beginning ]
What's a guy gotta do for a decent latte around here?
[ that's it. that's the post. time to feel out how many people actually recognize him around here. but first: ]
[ encrypted; filtered to steve rogers, wanda maximoff, peggy carter, and the vision ]
Hey, gang. Avengers Assemble or whatever.
[ he really just wanted to say it once. but after that joke, tony grows a little more serious. ]
I set up an encrypted feed. You're all on the list. I'm the only one who can add people on and off it, so don't bother trying, 'cause I'll both notice and be pissed that you tried. The Atroma can probably read and listen to every single word, but I'm still not convinced the rest of the Fleet is as trustworthy or welcoming as they claim to be. Best we keep anything superhero related to ourselves.
[ and he pauses ]
They put me on the Pathstone. It has no shields and no weaponry, but it has a jacuzzi.
[ said in the world's most dry tone ]
And on a totally hypothetical note, what happens when you apply to be captain on the computer?

Re: Video
[Another Captain.]]
Video
[ but hey you know cool ]
Going through the roster of the people here gives me a list of people I know too, but I wouldn't exactly invite half of them over from Sunday dinner.
Re: Video
[Yes, think on that one.]
However, every single soul I have known on the Blue Fish is ... by in large, the best of humanity. Good people who will help others. without asking for anything in turn. They are a rare breed.
Video
[ friends who are too trusting in tony's opinion but whatever ]
Friends who'll, I'm sure, confirm or deny whether or not people are psychopaths -- anyway, the best in humanity, that's a hard act to sell. Hard to really hold people up to that standard when people just screw up a lot.
[ like tony. steve likes to believe the best in people. tony tries to, but often just winds up with suspicion and assuming people are going to kill each other if they don't intervene. ]
Re: Video
[He looks amused, before he shrugs slightly.]
I would not call them divine -- but compared to the people I have known? They are better, significantly so. Please do feel free to take that into account.
[Because frankly people being nice period to be nice is just a foreign concept to Tyrion.]
Video
[ moderately decent people are about tony's barometer for hanging out with someone past a casual level, so that works well enough for him ]
How many are there?
Re: Video
How many good people? I am not sure if I have them all counted up..

[ tony is just blatantly fishing for information but you know he's bored ]

[One corner of Tyrion's mouth lifted up.]
