[Tony doesn't often choose to use the video function preferring text for his network communication. But what he needed to say was better served this way. He wears make-up for the bags under his eyes and to hide the gauntness, but it doesn't completely hide the fact the long term effects of his illness. However he does his best to appear completely at ease and most people wouldn't notice a thing.]

I've noticed something regarding the recent disease outbreak. It's not of biological origin, it's caused by nanites. I believe it targets the central nervous system so that's how those of you who are theoretically immune to sickness might be feeling a little under the weather anyway.

I can't tell you how it spreads due to the method in collecting this data, nor can I pinpoint the source without devoting more resources than I currently have to it. I've also discovered they're self-replicating so it's only a matter of time before my own efforts to hold it at bay fail. This does suggest that there's a magical component to it as well.

Old man, I've taken the liberty of uploading everything I've found so far to you and you'll continue to receive updates for as long as I'm able. The rest of you can bug him for details in the event I succumb to it-- you'll want fifty year old Tony Stark for those who don't know me. But lets hurry up, the clock's ticking.

If you truly think you're immune then you can also sit your ass down while I run tests on you.

Which one's your Loki? The baby or the greasy one?

You wanna stick a bunch of needles in me that's fine, I don't give a shit as long as you think it'll help

The adult one

[Dont be rude, Tony]

[inebriety]

It'll help even if it only eliminates what it doesn't do. You can also explain magic while getting poked.

I can vouch for the baby so that that makes a regular person with a grudge the most likely suspect.

[He doesn't know how to not be rude!]

[spellslots]

Sure, deal, lemme know when and where you want me

[Cisco was less invasive, but they've done the whole "let's see what magic looks like to science" so this isn't new.]

Regular person might be underselling it if they're working tech and magic together like this but I get ya

[inebriety]

I'll send you the details once I get set up at the old man's place.

[This is where the drawbacks of being wastrel are making themselves known.]

In comparison to literal gods, it's apt.

[spellslots]

Super looking forward to it

I guess that's fair
