Kedan can be seen coming and going, carrying in decorations and lights and later on, various foods and desserts.

"I'm sure Hershey Park will be thrilled to hear it." Clearly she's not going to get anywhere with the chocolate fountains, but arguing with Tony is fun.

"Well, technically speaking a masquerade is about wearing masks, not suits of armor, although I suppose the tradition is old enough that maybe people did actually wear armor at some point, even if they couldn't actually move," Pepper considers analytically. "But it might soften the image a bit. When you get older it could pop back up if you mess up somehow, even if you wearing the armor to a ball literally has nothing to do with anything."

Security was as much good PR as superior firewalls and minidrones with a license to kill, after all.

That's a great idea, Pepper. Hershey would probably give him free chocolate for life if he did some kind of promotional gig for them.

"What makes you think I'm going to mess up?" Tony asks, sounding amused but also slightly indignant. Oh, I don't know, Tony, maybe your almost two-year record of messing up just about everything you encounter? Just saying. "Besides, I think saving the world from an alien apocalypse is all the PR I'll need for a while."

Don't turn into a corporate sell-out, Tony. At least hold out for a better chocolate deal.

"You're the son of a multi-billion-dollar business empire, you're a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and you're too smart for your own good sometimes. It's a statistical likelihood," Pepper says, shrugging. "But I think we've got a lot of goodwill to tide us over for a while."

Tony's the corporate people sell out to, Pepper. He can't sell out to The Man. He is The Man.

"You say those like they're bad things," Tony jokes. (...But seriously, though, Pepper, how are those bad things?) "But okay. I'll start working on my party suit."
