[Tony has the Iron Man helmet with face plate up and one of the gauntlets on which he uses to wave at the camera. He's smiling brightly, but there are bags under his eyes and the flush to his cheeks are from more than just excitement.]

Some of you might remember a certain someone's offer to trade junk into something better. Please be sure to get the right guy because I don't work for scraps. If you have trouble telling us apart, other me is highly strung and a little sensitive.

[He taps his fingers against his chin.]

Perhaps we should change names as well. I was already thinking of rebranding Iron Man and getting a new paint job. And he can be... do you think he'd mind if I called him Greg? Or is that a little too morbid using a dead man's name? He'd have to dye his hair too, we look terrible in white otherwise...

[He picks up a bottle with his uncovered hand and takes a drink.]

Okay, it probably is. This silly event has got me maudlin I see.

[ look you. hush.

there is a lot in that statement that Tony needs to process honestly, but he kind of gets stuck on one point:]


You still make weapons.

[ he means for it to be a question, honestly. but it comes out flat and somehow he isn't as surprised as he wants to be. seriously, you are the embodiment of everything he hates about himself. why. ]

Also piloting drunk isn't as difficult as you would make it sound, remember I have done it.

[ yeah it might be sad, but it also something that he happens to be really good at, okay?

his face hardens at that, voice a little sharper when he replies:]


I stopped drinking end point. I realised I was letting too many people down.

[ that he wasn't being accountable for his actions, so he stopped. ]
