[ tony, unlike some people, likes observing individuals first before he says anything. there's nothing like making a fantastic entrance because you know what's going on while other people don't. it makes you look smart. technically tony supposes he doesn't need any help in that department, but it never hurts to be the observer first. right now he's a little annoyed because no one is actually being helpful in the way he wants them to be. everyone has forced his hand into asking a question, just to make sure he's not going end up writing them down wrong on his IDIOTS TRAPPED WITH ME ON THIS SHIP list. and yes, he's going to write it down and no, you cannot see it. ]

Show of hands or text or whatever, how many of you have some sort of specialty back home? Those of you who raised your hand, you should share with class what that is. I'd like to not hear about the things that are completely useless, but I know some of you will tell me then anyway. This is just a general survey question before I ask the real one, because I'm just one of those curious types.

[ or something like that. shush, again, it's for the stupid list he's making. don't judge him. ]

The real question, by the way, was how many of you are planning on looking around the ship, you know alone. Or...with a buddy, if you're that inclined to do that.

i have about two decades on you, but i started early. and ugh, companies, as nice as they are in theory, not too much in practice. especially when they're international.

way too much paperwork not enough hands on things, right?

[ and let's not let tony point out that stress from his is nil because of how he gallivants around the world and is the life of the party. so not mentioning that. ]

[if only we could all be billionaire playboys with robot suits.]

Exactly! Exactly. I kept trying to be hands on, but my business partner tells me I 'have better things to be doing than playing the tinkerer'. Not entirely what I bargained for when I started.

[ sigh. sadly we can't and tony must be burdened with that title on his own. ]

your business partner. no, if you have one, technically they should be doing the paperwork. since there's two of you, it's actually how it's supposed to work. if they desperately need something they can just disturb you temporarily and then let you tinker.

did they say you could tinker originally?
