I got a demon in my soul and a voice in my head

Characters: Tiny Tony Stark and YOU
Date: Throughout June (plus some backdated threads)
Location: All over Keeliai
Situation: Catching up with old friends, meeting new people, dealing with Too Much Shit, and quietly working himself to exhaustion. Don't worry about it. He's got this all under control.
Warnings/Rating: None



1. For Steve | The Sky Sector [Backdated to Steve's arrival]

After chatting for a while with Steve (Captain Rogers? What should Tony be calling him?), Tony had logged off the console to have a minor heart attack about meeting Captain America. CAPTAIN AMERICA.

Tony had even offered to meet up and give him a tour, show him the ropes, and Steve had agreed. Tony is too thrilled for words.

It takes the wind out of his sails a little bit when 'after I've settled in' stretches into several days, but it's probably for the best. It gives him some time to get the fanboy squealing out of his system.

So he mostly (mostly) manages to stay chill when Steve finally calls him back. Tony suggests a tour of the Sky Sector, since that's sort of the Foreigner sector, and picks out one of his favorite cafes to meet at. Completely contrary to his nature, he actually arrives early, and orders some tea while he waits.


2. For Milyn | House Spicy Iron Dragon [Backdated to early May]

Milyn may be taking refuge in their house, but she is not in Tony's good books right now.

He'd given her a few days to rest, recover, and get settled in, but now it's time to Talk. With a capital 'T'.

He knocks on the door of the guest room.


3. For Zatanna | The Welcome Center

Jackie's done with the Snakes, but it sounds like he's not sure the Snakes are done with him. And now that Tony has thrown what savings he has into the Golden Koi, Tony's obligation to protect Jackie has expanded to protecting his investment.

If this had been a few months ago, Tony would have spent some extra time lurking around the bar in his armor, to make it clear to any potential troublemakers that he had his eye on things. But, truth be told, he just doesn't have time for that anymore. Anyway, he thinks there's a more elegant solution.

Tony makes his way to the Welcome Center and pokes his head inside. "Zatanna? Are you around?"


4. For Callaghan | Tony's Lab

It's a shame Abigail hadn't stuck around. Tony had liked her, and she'd been almost as brilliant as him. But that's just the way things work around here.

He won't let her work go to waste, though. The stuff she'd done with the scorpion silk is incredible. It's certainly a fun project to work on, but more than that, it's important. Tony hasn't forgotten the kin'nal. The damage done by the earthquake has mostly been repaired, but Tony has diligently continued working on improvements to the lorn level. The kin'nal are still uncomfortable with him doing too much of the manual labor (the whole 'taking away their work' hangup that they have), so a lot of Tony's contributions come from the lab. He splits his time between working with the silk, crunching numbers on stability analyses, and designing reinforcement structures.

That's time that he's already splitting with his actual paying job and all his other responsibilities, though, so the progress is slower than he'd like.

He's lucky today to have a few rare free hours to devote to the project. He's intensely focused on the work, but his lab door is open - nothing he's doing right now is dangerous or likely to explode.


5. For Bucky | A market in the Water Sector

When he's headed home from work, Tony often takes a detour to do some grocery shopping. Three newly-fledged young adults, one of whom eats enough for two all on his own, go through a lot of food. These days, the only good shopping in Keeliai is in the Water Sector, since the fish markets haven't been completely shut down by the perpetual winter.

He's mostly done with his shopping when he spots a Foreigner he doesn't recognize poking through the offerings of one of the stalls. He doesn't look especially lost or perplexed, but Tony's not convinced he knows what he's about to buy.

"Sea prunes," Tony interjects, on the off chance that it may save a newcomer from an... unexpected culinary experience. "They're kind of an acquired taste."


6. For Simon | The Jasmine Dragon Tea House

Iroh has returned, and Tony is one of the reopened tea house's first customers. Anton's infinite coffee is great, but it's just one jar of coffee, and people are starting to give him dirty looks for constantly emptying it (you'd think people would be more generous with infinite coffee). Some of Iroh's teas have even more caffeine than coffee, anyway, even if the taste isn't as comfortingly familiar.

He'd pulled an all-nighter last night working on some stuff for Bisi, so he's taking his lunch break out on the patio of the Jasmine Dragon Tea House with a full pot of that high-octane supertea Zuko (the original version of him; Tony's not sure what to make of this New and Improved Zuko) had introduced him to.

Even with the caffeine, he's still yawning. Extremis and normal youthful resilience keep him from looking like a total zombie, but there are still dark circles under his eyes. He needs a twenty-minute powernap and a cucumber eye mask. Except there aren't any cucumbers here. Thanks for nothing, Keeliai.


7. For Yorda | House Spicy Iron Dragon

Tony has claimed the kitchen for the day, and warned everyone - especially Gene - to steer clear. He's invited Yorda over to talk business and try baking, and... well, let's just say, he's a lot better at the former than the latter. Who knows what kind of state the kitchen will be in when they finish.


8. For YOU | Choose your own adventure!

Anyone looking for Tony will have the best chance of finding him at the College, either in his lab or in the community workspace. He also makes regular visits to the kin'nal in the lorn level of Hatal, and he can occasionally be seen in the Golden Koi, chatting with Jackie. Good luck catching him anywhere else - he doesn't have much time for relaxation or recreation these days.

The request itself was pretty straightforward. And not hard to do. She could even think of a half dozen good reasons why anybody would want one of those as additional insurance...especially after that announcement about the Hotel.

But when he mentioned the Snakes...she frowned. "How bad is it?"

"I know of him, yeah. And his place." She tried to make a habit of familiarizing herself with several of the major businesses in the area, so she could make recommendations when people asked. "If he needs an anti-violence ward on his shop, then he can consider it done. Honestly, I don't blame him for being a little wary. Those Snakes...I have a strong hunch they hold a grudge when it comes to deserters."

"Anytime."

With that, she finally lowered herself down to ground level, feet barely making a sound when gravity once more claimed her. She placed a hand on her hip, left her piece of chalk on the nearby windowsill, and fully turned to face him.

"And what about you? How're you holding up with everything?"

She wasn't referring to the Milyn situation specifically, but it was certainly one of the things on her mind.
backwordscompatible: (pretty much)

An eyebrow raised at the part about getting shot at...but, at the same time, she didn't seem that surprised. Compared to her former life, it was only slightly more drastic. Bullets instead of metahuman powers.

"Yeah, I was never big on the politics stuff, either. Just wanted to help out. Fight the bad guys. Maybe bask in the spotlight and gratitude for a little at a time. You know. All the grand joys of teenaged vigilantism with none of the red tape."
backwordscompatible: (THIS much)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2016-06-28 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
At that, she shrugged.

"Never worried too much about my grades, honestly." Though her dad did, and that was one of the reason why she was...not a half bad student. Considering. "I always knew I was never going to make it to college, so why stress over it, you know?"
backwordscompatible: (peripheral glance)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2016-07-08 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
She shook her head.

"It would be a waste of my trust fund, really. Not to mention time that could be spent learning from...more relevant teachers."
backwordscompatible: (meeting the father)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2016-07-16 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"He...casually mentioned the idea once or twice before. The college thing. But, you see, back home...I was only halfway through my first semester of High School before I was taken here."

In other words, neither of them had been prepared for the inevitable argument that was to come over her future.
backwordscompatible: (innocent smile)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2016-07-18 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"That could work." She laughed. Knowing it wouldn't work at all, but rolling with the joke. "Think I could get Milyn or someone to whip up a transcript for me as evidence?"
