EVENT | LANDFALL | VALISHAERA
Characters: ALL!
Date: JULY 13-26
Location: Valishaera
Situation: Tu Vishan has made landfall on Siaxhi, to explore the Dreaming Watch City of Valishaera.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.
As Tu Vishan draws near, the heavy jungle visible even from miles out quickly identifies the landmass as Siaxhi, one of the westernmost continents in Konryu and one that has been largely untouched insofar as the kedan themselves have gone. There is a natural inlet along the southeast shore on the continent and Tu Vishan makes for that, though he fills nearly all of it.

never. they have to have at least 20 episodes' worth of MANFEELINGS first
Yeah. No. I won't. Sorry.
[He takes off the crimson ring and threads it onto the string he wears about his neck before weighing it in his hand for a moment. It feels...off, to wear the rings that come after without this one. Like his hands are unbalanced.
Interesting.
He pulls the necklace over his head and tucks it back into his shirt with one fluid motion.]
they are an endless font of manpain. or teenageboypain. almostmanpain.
[In the silence that follows, Tony notices a scattering of bird calls -- it's still dark, but if the birds (bird analogues?) on this planet are anything like the birds on earth, that means dawn isn't too far away.] We should probably get going, [he says.] It's super late.
dorkpain?
Hell no he ain't giving up the crimson ring! It's mad useful. Never gonna have to google shit again. Damn.How is Gene supposed to respond to Tony thanking him? 'You're welcome' doesn't seem right. It's not like he was doing Tony a favor or anything
baka. So instead he shrugs and says,] Least I could do.[Shit, is it really that late/early? Gene seems to remember the time.] Uh. Yeah.
[The turtle's a fair way away. He looks at Tony.] Want a lift?
nerdwangst?
But... trust goes both ways. If he doesn't show a little bit of trust for Gene, Gene will never trust him.
So, even though it pains him, he smiles and says,] Sure, why not.
nerdwangst.
Gene flexes his fingers.] I'm going to have to use the armor, [he warns, not wanting to catch Tony off-guard.] What's your suite again?
no subject
He armors up and walks back over to Gene.] Okay. Let's go.
no subject
He summons the armor, but consciously leaves off the helmet. Maybe that'd help put Tony at ease.] Hold on, [he says, gently puts an armored hand on Tony's back, and teleports them away.
They resolve in a blaze of light outside Tony's building a second later, and Gene dismisses the armor almost immediately.] Quicker than flying, right?
no subject
Without the helmet, there's no way to avoid the painful truth that Gene and the Mandarin are one and the same. Sometimes Tony can maintain a little mental separation, however artificial, between them, and that makes Gene's betrayal a little easier to live with. Seeing him in the armor without the helmet eliminates that comforting barrier.
Tony's glad he's in his own suit again, because it disguises his sudden discomfort. He doesn't say anything. He knows Gene was trying to be considerate, and Tony doesn't want to discourage him.
There's a blinding flash of light, and when it fades, they're in front of Tony's suite. It's disorienting, and a little unpleasant. But:] Yeah, [Tony admits. It certainly is faster.
There's a few seconds of silence.] Do you... want to come in...? [Tony offers uncertainly.] I could make some hot chocolate...? [(It's not really hot chocolate, but it is a surprisingly acceptable approximation.)
Wow. This is so, so awkward. It's like the end of a first date, except they're both in power armor and they're each others' super-arch-nemeses, and they just had an intense heart-to-heart in the middle of the jungle on an alien planet in a foreign dimension.
...So, not at all like a first date, really. Except in the awkwardness.]
idk man, sounds like an average first date to me. clearly tony needs to spice up his dating life
Ya gonna take him up to see your etchings, Stark?Pot? Kettle. Watching Tony suit up didn't hurt any less this time than it had the first. Not like Gene's ever going to admit it.
And that offer's unexpected. Gene had been about to mutter something about it being late/early and walking back to the Fire Sector, or just going to work. Then he remembers where he works and decides that he doesn't want to spend too much time around a place that's only going to remind him of the night's chat.]
Sure, [he says before he can stop himself. Hey, raiding other people's minds is thirsty work. Wait. Shit. Shit maybe this is a test.] If...you don't mind.
he's dated at least 2 ppl who turned out to be supervillains, I think his love life is spicy enough
Oh, um, okay. [Tony hadn't really expected Gene to take him up on that.] Well, then, uh, come in, I guess.
[He leaves the armor in the foyer and walks to the kitchen, trying to stay quiet. His roommates are almost certainly asleep.
All the ingredients are, of course, not quite what they're used to, but with a lot of shopping and taste-testing, Tony has managed to scrounge up passable equivalents of milk, cocoa powder, and marshmallows. He starts heating up the milk, watching Gene out of the corner of his eye.]
only two, though! he could date ALL the supervillains. I would date ALL the supervillains.
Gene's not up to anything suspicious, though, just standing in one place, looking around, his hands jammed into his pockets and his shoulders practically up around his ears. He still feels like he's being tested.]
Nice place you've got here, [he says quietly after a moment.]
he could date Arthur and add to his collection of sad broken failed supervillain boyfriends
He starts stirring in the chocolate.] You can sit down, if you want.
[Why did he suggest this? This is so weird. So weird.]
A+ good idea. collect ALL the trash supervillains
Um...no. It's okay. I'll stand for now.
[They never used to be like this. And Gene feels acutely - for neither the first nor last time - just how much has changed between them.
He's not sure why he feels compelled to stand. Maybe deep down it's fear - he's learned well never to be seated when someone's angry with him, and things are just tense enough in here that he would prefer not to.]
What are your roommates like?
[DAMMIT HE'S TRYING.]
instead of fighting, imaa Tony defeat villains by dating and converting them
[He sets the mugs down and flops into a chair.] They're alright. They're both from the same universe. They say they're descended from gods. Like, the old-school Greek gods. Apparently in their universe they're real. And from the sound of it, they get around a lot. [Tony yawns, and takes a sip of his hot chocolate.]
#makelovenotwar
Yes, that's not a normal way to react. Yes, he knows this.He sits in a chair facing Tony, picking up his own mug.]No kidding, [he says, interested. Man, other universes sure are weird! Though really, he's not surprised at the number of children of the Greek gods. Mythology had always interested him. Now he knows why.]
Did you ever meet Temeraire? The dragon? He used to occupy half of my building. [Gene looks at his mug, hands curled around it. Why are there so many marshmallows?]
no subject
no subject
He didn't breathe fire, though. He had some sort of...sonic attack. Called it the Divine Wind.
no subject
Sonic attacks are pretty useful, [he muses.] I mean, fire's cool, but it's not very flexible. [A dragon with its own natural sonic canons? Now Tony's disappointed that he didn't get to meet him.] So, he... left, or disappeared, or whatever? Got pulled back into his own world? Or did he just move out?
no tony. not sonic attacks. that way lies badness. and stane.
Everyone leaves him, which is why he'd started leaving people first.]
but sonic attacks are so awesome (also YOU MADE IT SAD AGAIN)
...Do you like the hot chocolate? [he asks nervously.]
IT KEEPS HAPPENING
Uh... [OH RIGHT IT'S FOR DRINKING NOT STARING INTO IT WISTFULLY. He picks up the mug and has a sip.
Holy shit where has this stuff been hiding all his life.] Yeah! It's really good. [He will punch bears for this.]
no subject
And the hot chocolate is a success!] I do wish we had real chocolate, though, [he says wistfully.] But the marshmallows are great. I just... learned a lot more than I wanted to know about how marshmallows are made. [Finding a kedan confectioner who could make him marshmallows was a very... informative adventure. Did you know that marshmallows are made with gelatin? And did you know that gelatin is made from leftover animal parts? Yum.]
no subject
Real chocolate would be nice, [he says, sounding wistful.] And real pizza. [The other Stark - one of them, the one he actually liked - had made a game attempt, but it just hadn't been the same.]
no subject
Real coffee, [Tony says with feeling, adding to Gene's list of Earth delicacies. How is he supposed to power through marathon lab sessions without coffee? Alien tea just doesn't cut it.]
no subject
He takes another long sip of his hot chocolate-ish and sets his mug back down.]
Thank you, [he says, quietly.]
