[Shortly before their departure to Zeta-12, Tony will find a shiny new toy sitting on his bed in Oska. That shiny new toy happens to be a handheld laser gun, with both lethal and non-lethal settings as requested. A short note has been attached:]

Hiya, Mister Tony!

I did my best, but I couldn't find any suits for you, so I hope this works. Take good care of it! Remember, if the fighting gets really tough, I've got your back. Just holler!

-Gil

[...there's also some candy bars and sweets sitting on his dresser. You might just have a young admirer now, Tony.]

[ tony reads the note first - he may be an over-eager child, but not that over-eager, and a little smile creeps up the corner of his lips, as he shakes his head.

ancient king of sumeria or not, he can't help but remember harley. he glances over at the chocolate bars first, moving to set the card down next to it, as he picks up one of them and starts unwrapping it. he shifts over to examine the weapon, sticking the candy in his mouth to chill there as he lifts the gun in both hands. checking out the various settings along the side, he grins around the snack, and then shifts the laser gun to one hand to check the weight, aiming it at the wall as he reaches up to pull the chocolate bar free, taking a bite as he does so.

he probably shouldn't shoot the wall, huh, and yet i mean

it's right there.

he shifts it to the left a little, because maybe that lamp is better. he doesn't need a lamp.










his neighbors probably hear the loud blast and the ensuing exhilarated cowboy whoop.

he'll find some way to pay him back for this some day. in the meantime, let's hope he doesn't blow himself up. ]

[expatriates]

Comfortable?

[hyperverbose]

Happy to report the Hot Springs are dragon free.

[expatriates]

What a relief.

[ Not because she was all that uncomfortable with Drogon now that she'd sat down with Daenerys, but because she can 100% see Drogon tearing Tony Stark to pieces. ]

Long way from home.

[hyperverbose]

I didn't notice.

[expatriates]

It might be best to let certain things go for the time being. Until we can get back.

[hyperverbose]

Certain things.

You mean what happened to the team or are you referring to Rogers hiding from me that his buddy murdered my parents? There's just so much to keep track of these days.

[expatriates]

Loki's here.

[ i mean on the one hand ... duh. ]

[hyperverbose]

what? in your room? i don't need to know this

[expatriates]

I'll register your disinterest in participating for future reference.

In front of me. In the screening room.

[hyperverbose]

i didn't know i signed up for his foursquare check-ins. weren't you the one telling us NOT to stalk him

[expatriates]

Well, I thought about digging through his trash, but that seemed too obvious.

[hyperverbose]

lets hear it

what evil is afoot

...

Hello?

[ yeah hi. ]

[hyperverbose]

Why are my calls not screened?

[selfimage]

You'd better get on that, we've been at a severe lack of apps since every device became last year's jewelry trend.

[hyperverbose]

I know you're dying for your Snapchat filters, but it'll have to wait. I'm a busy man.

[selfimage]

Good, I was hoping you'd be occupied when I came to rub it in your face.

[ he drawls out the words purposefully. ]

( the prodigal not-son returns, thanks to the suggestion of Natasha. an alarm system sounds like a solid plan, though keeping it to the stable seems to be thinking small.

at least he can trust Tony Stark to not think small. )

hey, so
your thoughts on an alarm system for the town
aaaaaaaand, go

[ he's honestly surprised for half a second when he gets the message, but then a smug sense of victory quickly comes at its heels. he mulls over the question for just a few, before sending back: ]

speaking practically? loud and centralized. but without some kind of backup, it's an easy target for someone or something to take down and put the whole town off its guard

[webdesigned]

no offense, but I didn't think you were the sort of guy to talk about practicalities.

( SAID WITH LOVE... kinda, but really, you made a tiny iron robot suit for a squidge, man. )

that's what I was thinking. maybe we could get a setup running and yeah it'd brobably work, but not for long if the bandits have two brain cells to rub together between them

I think it's worth considering though. trying to work on a tracking system to know if they're coming out way but if that fails an alarm system might help keep more people safe from the attacks.

[hyperverbose]

a tracking system? you gonna show me what you've got?

come on, kid. wow me.

[webdesigned]

you wanna check it out?

okay, but if I see any hint of a grading system, I'm kicking you out. my set-up is next door to the blacksmith.

delivered to his door on the 24th.

( tony will find an envelope just barely under his door, and if he opens it he'll find a simple note that reads, for emergencies. on the back of the note is a frequency, one Peter leaves his rather defunct police tracker at.

direct line to Spider-Man. use it wisely, Tony! )
