AWESOME. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY INFILTRATE THE COUNCIL. THAT WILL BE LIKE 3 BIRDS WITH ONE STONE IF YOU DON'T MIND FASCIST BATHTUBS WHICH OF COURSE

[He might be able to help with actual answers, he's just distracted right now. Tony's own voice is a laser pointer for him; even electronically and typed out.]

[ex_spins462]

Does "fascist" here mean "refused to cater to my ego"? Or are we using the more traditional definition.

[servomotor]

SUPER TRADITIONAL.

TIME IS NOT ON OUR SIDE

IF WE ARE INTERESTED IN FINDING SURVIVORS AND ANY EVIDENCE OF WHAT HUGE SKETCHY MISSION THEY WERE ON

[ex_spins462]

And are you?

[servomotor]

[........... touche]

MAYBE.

WHAT IF I SAID YES

[ex_spins462]

I wouldn't be that surprised. You're a superhero, after all.

[ probably lucky tone can't be heard over text. ]

So are you planning to enact your own rescue mission? Build a hovercraft? Time is not on your side.

I AM A SUPERHERO.

[IT'S FINE WIDOW HE CAN HEAR YOUR ~TONE~ JUST FINE >:{]

ACTUALLY MY ABILITY TO PLAY WITH OTHERS HAS GOTTEN A LOT MORE WELL OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS

YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT

YOU'RE USING THAT TONE

PERFECT

[ex_spins462]

I'm texting.

[servomotor]

IN THAT TONE

[ex_spins462]

You're the one "shouting".

[servomotor]

WHO THINKS THAT

NO ONE THINKS THAT [he responds without factual basis.]

[ex_spins462]

That's what writing with the capslock on tends to imply.

[servomotor]

NOT THIS TIME

I'M VERY CALM

ALSO I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND THAT BATH FOR YOU

[ex_spins462]

Private? Alone?

[servomotor]

YES

ONE OFF THOUGH DON'T GET GREEDY

[Tony never really talks about being poor or short on resources. Back home, he could talk about his cars and his planes and equivocate about his however any carat watches as often as he liked, but it's one of those odd things; he doesn't complain about the converse.]

[ex_spins462]

Greed isn't even in my vocabulary.

Thanks. I'll owe you one.
