[The video opens on a very nice view of a warehouse ceiling, at least until there's a muffled curse offscreen and it tilts to reveal one Tony Stark. He's practically vibrating with the kind of manic energy that means he's been working for possibly too long, all hair standing on end and a few dark smudges on his face, but he looks pleased at least. Just behind him is a glowing blue hologram picking out the lines of something circular, spinning lazily like it was hurriedly abandoned.]

So hey, you all know those power plants out there in yonder abandoned wasteland? Sure you do. I know there's one working, but I've got some ideas for how to give the other ones a good kick. Thing is, I could use an extra hand.

[The metal arm that's been slowly rolling along behind him suddenly straightens and twists in Tony's direction, claw at the front contracting. Without looking back, Tony just snorts.] Not you. [The arm droops, somehow giving the impression of looking disappointed, but continues his trek to wherever he thinks he's going.]

Anyway, yes. Manpower needed. Preferably the kind that knows it's way around a welding iron, but I'll take what I can get. Oh, and a metric shitload of palladium. So if anybody's got a spare catalytic converter or twenty, let me know.

[He reaches for the phone, then pauses, something slightly sardonic flicking across his mouth.]

Or if one of you magic types wants to straw-into-gold me up some, I'll take that too.

Thanks in advance.

[Looking much more satisfied, he reaches the rest of the way to cut the feed.]

[ He doesn't know what most of this is even about, too much science for him, but he can actually help with heavy lifting if need be. ]

If you need manpower or transportaion for heavy lifting I can be of service. Perhaps for guard duty as well. The beasts beyond the wall are somewhat dangerous. [ somewhat... ]

[buildsomething]

Don't think we'll need much in the way of guard, but transportation could help. You have something specific in mind?

[illusionistic]

My true form is around 50 feet tall. If you need help carrying or transporting things...I believe I may be of service.

[ He's totally not even lying or playing. He really can transform into a 50 foot tall snake. ]

[buildsomething]

...I can't say I saw that one coming. What's your carry weight?

[He hangs out with a guy that grows a few feet and turns green, Tony can roll with the unexpected.]

[illusionistic]

[ Aeacinos will think about that. He's...never actually tried to see how much he can carry, honestly. ]

A few tons, perhaps. I've never really tested or weighed the amount. But it a good deal, I am stronger than the average human.

[ And that's what matters, right? ]

[buildsomething]

Good to know. And definitely something to keep in mind, sounds like I'm going to be carting a lot of gear over.

[illusionistic]

Then I will offer my assistance for what you need.

[ AH, but, he should probably introduce himself yes? ]

I am Aeacinos by the way.

[buildsomething]

Tony. I'll look you up when I've got a better idea of what exactly will be happening.
