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 incident(s) with the nanobots had added a tense undercurrent to their relationship, but things had been steady for a while, and Tony had been happy to settle back into the comfortable camaraderie of fellow scientists. Then Abigail had vanished.
Tony's not all that skilled at reading people, but he has a hunch that Callaghan isn't handling it well.
But he thinks it's promising that the professor is still interested in Abigail's work. Maybe it'll help him open up.
"I think I might have figured out how to blend the synthetic fibers with the real silk," Tony replies enthusiastically. "The synthetic still isn't anywhere near as good as the real stuff on its own," he picks a wad of slimy, snot-like precipitate out of one of his beakers; the precursor to the synthetic fibers he's been working on, "but when it's integrated the right way with the natural silk, the resulting fiber is just as strong. Almost identical properties, but it uses a lot less real silk, so what the Kin'nal collect will go a lot farther. Abigail's notes helped me figure out the chemical treatment that gets the fibers to bind together."
no subject
Not entirely, though. As much as he might like it to.
There's a minute twitch of expression at the mention of Abigail, but it passes as he steps in. "Hm. Chemistry was never my strong suit," he admits, moving to take a closer look. Hands off, out of respect, but there's still some clear interest. "Or would this be considered biotech?"
no subject
"Kinda all starts to blend together at some point, doesn't it?" Tony says, chuckling. The more advanced the science, the less relevant the division of fields become. "Chemisty's not mine either, but I do a lot of materials science and engineering, so it comes up a lot." He wonders how far he can push his luck. "Is chemistry Abigail's specialty back home? She's really good at it."
no subject
Then he pauses.
Once, he didn't mind talking about his daughter's achievements, despite her being gone. But this- this is too fresh. So, his voice is almost dangerously light when he says, "I don't think that has much of a place here, Tony."
We are not going to talk about her.
