[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.

[ Unsettling is the word that first comes to mind. Certainly, his . . . hatred of Thor is tied into Asgard and many other factors, but his tricks certainly don't come close to that. He suppresses the feeling. ]

I suppose there was not much room for imagination.

[inebriety]

But you're gods. If you have centuries to plan something shouldn't you at least do it right?

[Tony can't fathom the idea of having that much time, but he envies it in a way. He could do so much more if he had just a little more time.]

[dothelokimotion]

Time does not function for gods the way mortals see it. You may see a wide expanse. For us, it is a heartbeat. A missed step.

If that was his one desire, nothing else would matter. Not time, not planning. Simply the goal.

...Wasted on people who don't see the value in it.

[While he struggles to fit everything into the time he has left.]

[ Loki snorts lightly. ]

Something you are deeply familiar with, no doubt. Have you ever seen value in anything you do, Stark?

[The conundrum of the actions of a drunken mess who claims to have little time. The truth was these actions were often the only thing capable of keeping him going a little longer.]

Oh, maybe once or twice.

[Drunk or not, he's never seen the value of explaining his actions. Better to let them keep their assumptions as it makes them easier to work around.]

[dothelokimotion]

That's a number higher than I expected.

[ Considering this Stark doesn't seem to have a high an ego as the one Loki is familiar with. He might actually enjoy this one. ]
