[ The look on Tony's face as the feed clicks on is clearly unamused. Possibly even Unamused, capital and all. Why is he so irritated you might ask? Well, don't you worry about that, he is bound to let you know. As soon as he finishes sipping on his coffee in a more than obnoxious way. If you look close enough, and know Tony, you will be able to see a darkness beneath his eyes, the kind that comes with too much coffee and too many ideas and not enough hours in the day, so clearly he has to sacrifice some of the night for the Greater Good or some shit.

Whatever. That is why there is coffee.

Once the coffee has been consumed, Tony gets up from where he is sitting, and it becomes very obvious that he is in the kitchen on the floor, a kitchen you have all seen thanks to a Viking, but there is no sign of him now. However, there are signs of someone making a rather large breakfast here (if only you could smell it, seriously, Tony would kill to eat some of it okay) and not sharing.

This? This is why Tony is unamused.]

Really, you come in here, use the space and leave the dishes, while also not sharing?

[ Steve is gonna be annoyed. Not that he isn't usually in that state. The images shifts as Tony puts the phone down, and there is the sound of more coffee making its way into his cup while you get a lovely view of the ceiling. Look, no scorch marks. Yet.]

That's just rude, even for gods of chaos and mischief. And here I was going to make you a fancy partial AI for your phone. Ha.

[ Look, he doesn't know if it was Loki, but he assumes it is. Because if it was Steve or Bucky they would have shared, and he is pretty sure that Stephen only eats things that are still moving, and Billy-- well maybe him too. But for now, his ire is on Loki.]

Also, working on some ideas for the defence perimeter, some new weapons and targeting systems, if there is anyone that has any ideas, let me know. I mean, I've probably already thought of it, but still might be nice to bounce ideas around.

Same universe. Most of us are on the same team. Kinda. I mean, Loki is a Norse god, and Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme and is also a bit of an outlier, but the rest of us... yeah.

At least you're not alone?

You're not wrong.

You here alone then?

Independent. Please.

It sounds a little less sad that way.

Independent, agreed. Far better word.

Well, you are welcome to join the band of merry misfits, but don't hold your sanity in high regard if you do.

Sanity is overrated.

This is Michael, BTW. The guy with the tattoos who picks up after himself.

Looks like we'll be working on the wall together.

Tony.

Think you could teach the god of mischief some manners?

Awesome, you have experience in engineering or mechanics at all?

[ please tell him he isnt the only one with an understanding. ]

M.S in Civil Engineering, a few years on the job at an architectural firm, and over a decade of experience playing with Lego. I can build a wall.

Teach the god of mischief etiquette? Less confident.

Thank god, you are my new favourite person, Michael. I mean, LEGO is integral to defence building understanding, making something from scraps.

Yeah, I think we are all missing the qualifications for that one, if only Thor was here.

If I could have done my thesis on Lego, I would have.

You've met Thor? The Thor?

That would have been one hell of a thesis. I would have funded that in a heartbeat fuck.

And yeah, we're on the same team of masked menaces that try to save the world on the daily back home. Along with the guy with a robot arm, and the tall and broad blond one. The Sorcerer helps out occasionally too. The others are... younger.

Lego: Building a brighter future, one block at a time.

Is that more of a hobby, or a day job?

Seriously, you should have tried. That would have been the best thesis.

And, uh, bit of both? I mean, I also run my own company, well maybe not me so much as my AI and Mary Jane but-- uh. Yeah.

I would have, but I was on a partial scholarship, so I couldn't commit fully to the Lego Manifesto.

Sounds busy. While I'm in full support of caped shenanigans, getting the perimeter protected should probably be our first priority.

This should be a side project along with the perimeter, the Lego Manifesto.

And pretty sure the perimeter is like caped shenanigans. Also, no cape. Ew. Capes. But yeah, I have a few ideas already. We can do some scavenging and research to see what needs to be done in order to work with my ideas.

I'm going to assemble a small task-force to assess the pre-existing faults. From there I'm planning to do a full inspection of the perimeter foundations from both sides.

Then we can decide what kind of labour and materials we'll need to go forward with my ideas.

Yours too, of course.

[ You can't see it, but Tony is laughing. He likes you.]

Perfect. I already have some volunteers to go out into the field for supplies, as well as specimens of the things in the wild that might attack. If we can use them to make an early detection system I think we can get a good start.

Sounds good.

I'll be making a shout-out over the network in the next couple days to grab volunteers for my trial inspection. I'll keep you posted.

Sounds reasonable. Hopefully I will have more information regarding what we are up against by then.
