mark v suit ❦ [ video + action? + one encrypted text ]

[starked]

[ dear smiley, you suck. well more particularly, your timing does. if only because tony was attempting to make his own way to medical with a fair number of stumbles along the way (honestly, the walls jumped out at him). but then you have the audacity to be all ~follow me~ and of course tony stopped to look and promptly stumbled once again, this time onto the floor. fun fact about the floor, it feels really nice to a guy with that weird sickness thing that seems to be going around. so he's choosing to stay there for now. what the video shows everyone is the ceiling, a charming view that he knows everyone appreciates.

he's not going to show off how he looks unless you really ask or manage to be the one of the people finding him, but hey it's better that way. you don't want to see any blueness he has going on. there's a sour burp heard before tony actually starts to speak. ]

That was disgusting. And I'm- technically no, I'm not sorry because it was bodily function and let me tell all of you that it was even more disgusting for me. [ a pause. ] I believe Kirk deserves some applause for managing to beat me in telling you all shit so you should all do that, maybe. He deserves it. [ and then there's some clapping. ] See? I even did it.

But anyway, I'm on the floor right now, it's a nice view from down here, I'll admit, but hypothetically I may not be able to get up right now. I know, this is a shocking concept because I'm kind of an energizer bunny and that doesn't usually happen to me. That being said, who might be willing to maybe find me, swing by, help a guy out here so he's not stuck on this, arguably really nice floor, and can maybe get himself to medbay? Possibly with your assistance so I don't have to make this message again. Even though it's a lot of fun making it right now.

And as much as I love all of you, letting you see the ceiling is a much better choice than letting you see me right now. Don't worry, later I'll say hi and you'll get to see me looking a little less gross.

[ ooc | SO. unless i remember wrong, dibs on finding go to sue storm, and then the actual dragging part of this goes to both natasha and clint but seriously feel free to offer help or mock tony. it's all good. and bear with me on slowness. C: ]

Tony?

What happened?

[starked]

[ and finally tony manages to think of something that makes it so he can talk without texting or without the video on just so it's easier on him. (seriously typing is hard work.) ]

I'm making friends with the floor. He's a nice guy.

[video]

[jurisimpudent]

Sir, if you are that ill, should you really be speaking so very much?

[voice]

[starked]

Is that some rule I'm not aware of? If potentially ill, must not talk? I'm not going to be mute because I wanted to make friends with the floor. A lot of people like to talk like this when sick. Or ill.

voice; Ianto Jones, butting in since forever

[coffeeking]

[He is in the medbay. He feels like shit and he has nothing to do but stalk the network.]

You're one to talk.

[Why are you everywhere.]

audio; encrypted 100% because Pepper isn't allowed to hear

[ironnanny]

Sir, I will hesitantly trust that this is not actually a result of your stated minor relapse into drinking your troubles away and thus assume something entirely different is actually wrong.

Are you still in need of assistance?

audio; encrypted 100% good boy jarvis, remembering what daddy said.

[starked]

Ding ding ding. This is why you're my favorite. Because you can just infer that and it's right.

Nah, I'm good. Finished what I was working on. There's parts of me that are blue and they shouldn't be. And it's because I'm suffocating, which you'd think would be the reason.

[cutsofftheirlimbs]

Nice job, Stark.

[Not that he's probably feeling any better, but still.]

audio;

[starked]

[ you have no room to talk good sir. so shush. ]

You are just incredibly jealous that the floor and I are bonding here. I can tell. [ only not really. ] I'm going to hear about this forever, aren't I?

voice;

[coffeeking]

Oh joy. Once someone peels you off the floor, you can keep me company.

voice;

[starked]

I can sit, Ianto. So, technically, I'm not going to be peeled off of it.

Let me guess though, dragged?

voice; ecryption 60%

[redhotsummers]

Damn it.

[Alex's voice is tight, but he's controlling emotions. Can't worry--there is a plan of action now; even if it leads them to their deaths, at least it's action]

Group of us are going to follow that little shit. If there is something there that can help you--I'll...I'll make sure you get it.

Or get it to someone who can pass it on.

voice; encryption 100%

[starked]

Say things like that, and I might think you care.

[ It sounds flippant, and it is to a point, but at the same time, Tony might be a little touched. ]

If you run into him, tell him his number one fan says hi. [ There's a pause. ] As much as I hate that stupid thing, if there is something there, I'd love seeing it. Knowing about it. Get it. Seriously, I'd be going out there myself, but not in the mood with the whole floor thing. At all.

Try not to have to pass it on, will you? Think we've had one too many deaths lately.

were you-

[ He stops that question before he fully asks it and instead focuses on saying something new. ]

parts of me that shouldn't be blue are. i can't get up from the goddamn floor.

[ A pause and then: ]

what did i forbid you to do?

AUDIO; im & bw

[widowing]

Please tell me this isn't due to you drinking your weight in scotch over the past week.

[ her voice is lacking a significant amount of the bite that's usually in her tone when she speaks to him, dangerously close to a groan on how weary it sounds. ]

VIDEO; im & bw

[starked]

[ natasha is one of the few people he'll willingly show this to, but if she's looking she can see the blue in the whites of his eyes and his mouth. he waves his fingers in front of the device as well before he finally says something. ]

I actually haven't drank that much this week. Tempted. Drank a little bit, but more preoccupied with something. I've given speeches I don't remember while drunk. This is nothing like me drinking my weight in scotch. If it was, I would be content to sit on the floor. Same symptoms everyone else seems to be having.

[northerner]

[ tony, what are you even YOU ARE SHAMING THE HOUSE... ]

Has someone come to pick you up?

voice; encrypted 100%

[starked]

[ HE'S BEEN DOING THAT FOR A LONG TIME ROBB. oops? ]

They're coming. The metaphorical calvary and all.

[ a beat. ]

You okay?

permavoice; locked

[trickshots]

So you thought you'd wait till you hit the floor before telling us?

[At least it isn't flat out disapproval? He knows that Tony isn't the only one hiding it. But it's easier to accept that other people are affected than it is knowing that Natasha is showing signs too.]

permavoice; locked

[starked]

In my defense, the hitting the floor part wasn't really part of the plan. In fact, the plan was more along the lines of getting to the medbay and bothering everyone from a bed there. [ a beat. he won't say anything about natasha being affected but he'll let out a huff. ]

Maybe I wasn't even planning on telling you guys. Not like at the moment anyone can do anything. Beyond you know trotting off to go on a scavenger hunt.

action; what the fuck tony

[invisigirl]

[ She's on her way down to begin her work in the medbay -- analyzing samples, figuring out what type of virus they're dealing with, find a cure -- when she rounds a corner, heads down another hallway, and her eyes fall to a passenger who's collapsed on the floor, seemingly making ... no effort at all to get to his feet. Which, she assumes, means that it's very, very bad, because people usually don't nap in the middle of the hall or stop to ceiling-gaze.

She's half-running to his side, immediately crouching next to him to make sure he's alive, and even though it becomes clear quite quickly that he is, he looks as though he might not be for much longer. His skin has a blue tint to it, especially his lips and eyelids, and the whites of his eyes are also turning a faint shade of the color. ]

You need to get to the medbay.

action; tony is basically an idiot, news at at eleven!

[starked]

[ to be fair, tony isn't as at death's door as he could be. it's just that with everything hitting him like it is (the lack of sleep before the symptoms starting to hit and just the disease itself), he finds it more beneficial to just stay on the floor. ceiling gazing until someone (almost anyone, at the moment) decides that maybe they should help him limp off to the medbay.

he looks at her for a moment before he nods. ]

I know, I was heading there before I actually took the awesome tumble to the floor. [ he blinks slowly. ] Doctor or just concerned?

text ; locked

[aggressively]

I've been telling myself "at least it's not green".

Get off the floor and get to the medbay, all right?

text ; locked

[starked]

some of us never get to change colors. :( you're lucky. i am just going oh look loki blue eyes.

[logicals]

Currently stuck in medbay. I suppose I'll be seeing you there.

And obligatory 'did you have a nice trip?' and 'see you next fall'.

[starked]

PS how many people took a while to notice you're 007 instead of 001? :)

text; to hide the freaking out

[ms_pepperpotts]

That's nothing I haven't cleaned up before, Tony. Is there someone coming?

TEXT; encrypted 100%

[starked]

natasha. and clint. the hawk and the widow. you know, the ones who i basically keep debating if i should put their floors next to each other or put like all of the other floors in between them.

i'm- i should stop this whole dying thing shouldn't i? TECHNICALLY THIS ONE WASN'T MY FAULT? i don't think. pretty sure it wasn't.
