mark xii suit ❦ [ voice + four encryptions ] ❦ forward dated to monday evening

[ tranquility! you were totally missing tony. or at least some of you were from the state of his communicator when he came back into a place where he could read it. whatever, there's some noise in the background that sounds suspiciously like the medbay when tony actually starts the feed up. there's a reason for this kids, but tony, being tony, isn't particularly up for explaining what it is beyond a select few. but hey, if you're feeling lucky, you'll actually be able to see what really happened hidden in this post. ]

I know what you all are thinking, how dare you disappear like that and worry half of the ship or at least random parts of it who were crying about it. Lost is actually the technical term for what I did, since I meant to just take a small stroll and then suddenly I took a bad turn it wasn't that bad. My bad, though, next time I'll take a map or something to show me around not just the communicator. Left the nonexistent map in my room clearly, which yes, I know, Tony, that was incredibly idiotic of you. But hey, it's not the worst thing any of you will or have seen me doing by a long shot. And I have a thing about making interesting life choices like that. I could have disappeared during a time like the plague we had. Or during the lockdown. At least now it's shockingly quiet minus a few things. [ or disappearances, but hey, no one needs to know he noticed alayne was gone. he'd like to personally forget he ever saw that. but you know, he sees too much and he can't really take that back now can he? ] I'm not typically one to give little messages about how we should pay attention so nothing bad happens, because really, I'm pretty sure some of us keep watch enough so a number of you all can rest easy and not spend every waking moment monitoring the network. But I think, when everyone is wandering around, you might want to make sure you're watching where you step. You don't want to be like me coming out feeling gross and like you could eat a horse.

There's an old saying about that, I think. Eye or eyes have it.

Anyway, I'm not dead, rejoice or cry into your space food, either one is really fine with me actually. And you know, because I'm feeling generous after coming out of the hellish hallways, I know we have some engineers on here and I know we have people who randomly build things, I don't care about them, technically, but I do care if some of you might actually need something say built for you and are wondering god, who would do that for me, well as it turns out, I do actually have a lot of free time to do various projects and I seem to be lacking in them right now and for the foreseeable future. So, to rectify this, consider this me asking all of you to come to me if you're dying to have something done in the vein of building things for you. I could do encryptions, but people can be weirdly fussy about those. Whatever, you know my number. Call me if it sounds good to you maybe.

Meeting as soon as I get out of medbay. Just with the four of us. Christ, we're down to four again. Awesome. Pepper sitting in, obviously, if only because I'm a little worse for wear as it turns out.

[ encrypted to listmates | stark encryption 100% | unhackable ]

What are we down to now? Eighteen? Nineteen? Caffrey and I just randomly disappeared only to come back just a bit fucked up. I think this calls for a list members meeting. Just for kicks. And I don't actually care if you're rolling your eyes at this, any of you, because personally, I'm just a bit tired of wondering if one of us is going to magically get killed or disappear at a jump. Or, as Caffrey and I have demonstrated, just randomly get lost in a ship we've been on for months.

[ encrypted to neal caffrey | stark encryption 100% | unhackable ]

And it seems as if I'm not the prodigal son any more. Separate talk, you and me. Or do I offend your hipster sensibilities too much still?

[ encrypted to spock | stark encryption 100% | unhackable ]

...Can I trust you to keep a little secret from someone? You know who I'm talking about, I imagine, but if I do tell you something, it needs to stay extremely hush hush.

[ ooc | okay, two things! one, bare with me on any slowness with this post since i put it up now as opposed to monday for a very specific reason. and two, there is actually something wrong with tony, but he's not as crazy as neal was when he came back. what happened to him was more physical with a tiny bit of crazy added in that i might sprinkle in this post. this does not mean mr. stark will be dropping metaplot hints, because i don't really have any to actually give! beyond what we already know because of spock's misadventures in melding with the ship.

what is hidden in this post and will be mentioned for sure is what exactly happened to tony and the "why" of what happened. so yeah, that's the end of this grossly long note. ]

Accessory?

[ She likes accessories... ]

Hatter left. So now I have his horse.

Accessory. I think I rock it.

[ She won't like this one. ]

See, I didn't know he had a horse. You've got a farm at this point, you know.

What is it?

[ Tony are you missing an eye :| ]

Yeah, I know. Jumps are going to be fun.

It's one that's on my face.

[ No. :| :| :| Yes. ]

Ever thought of having someone else deal with half of them?

[ There's a pause. ]

Want visitors?

[ And then, as if she's not being protective- ]

I get some help, sometimes.

Don't let Nathan see you. If he goes to Pepper with that, I'd hate to hear about how she stabbed him— actually no, I'd like to see her stab him with a heel. Calmly.

[ Which sounds morbid, but what's a guy to do but be morbid about this sort of thing. ]

Sometimes. Who?

Nathan needs a hobby. Like pulling the stick out of his ass. Maybe Pepper could help by giving him an extra hole to work with.

[ Yup. Morbid. ]

Mason Lockwood, usually. Sometimes Faith, and that Mordecai guy -- new, has dreads and a sweet bird -- offered to help out.

Edited 2012-11-18 21:45 (UTC)

He'd just get another stick to fill it up with and then we'll really be in for it and Jenna will yell at me for making him annoying instead of opening him up more.

[ ...Opening up, how Tony. ]

So you don't need any more help right?

He's already annoying though.

Oh, I'd hate to deprive you of your chance to help.

Imagine him even more annoying.

You probably don't want a guy who only has one real eye helping. [ Tony stop you're gonna make yourself an eye. Don't act like you need pity. ]

I think I'd have to kill him.

[ Jaye don't sound so flippant about that. ]

Somehow I doubt the animals care, Tony.

Only if you let me watch. Or help.

[ Tony don't sound so okay with it. ]

I meant I'd end up losing one of the idiots because they went on my left side.

[ Fucking longest pause ever. ]

I'm not gonna leave unless we're all leaving.

Can do.

[ Guys... ]

I'll give you the cow or the horse, they have leads. And the hound's invisible anyway, so.

[ Pause. ]

The ship, you mean?

[ No Jaye, Las Vegas. ]

And that's why I like you.

[ Come on you two let's not. ]

I might take the horse then. We'll see.

[ ...and then there's this sort of hysterical laugh before: ]

No, Manhattan. Yes, the ship, unless you're hiding a portal to a city in your room or something.

What's not to like?

[ cries ]

If I were it'd be a portal to Detroit and no one wants to go there.

[ She pauses though, quieting down. ]

Everyone leaves.

I'd say the fact that you want me to suck a cock and to let you watch, but nah that's still a good thing.

[ faceinhands.png! ]

Sometimes I think it'd be an adventure to go there. Entertained the idea of trying to fix the industry there. Well not me technically, so it'd have to be Pepper on the business side.

[ Pause and then just barely loud enough to where Jaye can hear it. ]

I'm not everyone.

Why wouldn't that be a good thing?

[ ... Jaye... ]

It's pretty shitty if you don't have money. Guess you wouldn't have to worry about that, though.

[ Feelings are just getting all over the place, aren't they? ]

No, you're not. But sometimes that's not enough.

Because people are stupid. And are prudes. That's why.

[ No other reason man. Tony you're a butt. ]

Nah, silver spoon's been in my mouth since I was born. Pretty sure I couldn't forget it even if I had amnesia with how much I've been reminded it.

[ Go away feelings. ]

I've spat in the face of death more times than I care to count. It'll be enough. Trust me.

Oh right, that's why I don't like most of them.

[ They're both butts. ]

Well, don't lose it.

[ Jaye you are getting dangerously close to Talking About Things. ]

That's the thing about Death, Tony. You can spit in his face as much as you want, but he'll still come for you in the end. [ But she pauses, quieting again. ]

I want to. [ Trust him, that is. ]

And that's why I like a select few and no one else.

[ They like big butts and they cannot lie. ]

I wouldn't dream of it. If I did someone else would try to be like me, and come on, even the other Tony isn't anywhere close to my level of awesome.

[ And then there's a very long pause and Tony has to clear his throat before he says anything. ]

I spit in his face by not dying when I should. I've come closer than I think half of this ship has at least four times at home. Not including benders. It's beginning to make me wonder if I'm just immortal.

[ That's supposed to be a joke, but it doesn't completely sound like one when he says it. ] I won't tell if you won't.

Picky, huh?

[ Them other brothers can't deny. ]

I'll give you that.

[ And Jaye gives her own pause, though it isn't as long. ]

Half the ship. Not all of it.

[ Because she still doesn't understand why the cult didn't kill her. She would have killed her. ]

My lips are sealed.

The pickiest. I'm allowed when I'm Tony fucking Stark.

[ He hums just slightly. ]

We've got vampires on this ship. Most of them are older than I ever am going to reach. Still pretty human.

[ A beat. Because no that's getting into things a little more than he'd like to. ]

Thanks.

Still all ego, too.

[ It used to get on her nerves, but now it's just... Tony. ]

No problem. I'll see you soon, okay?

You either learn to begrudgingly love it or tell me to fuck off.

[ Which says something about how Tony views it as a part of himself that people have to deal with and get used to, otherwise they're not worth his time. ]

Yeah, you will. I'll swing by after they let me out, okay?

You got it.
