MK VII: Faulty Wiring

A || PHONE || UNFILTERED

Pfft. Typical. Looks like the IT Department is under new management, Mayfield. S'what happens when you outsource your tech to Hades and/or wherever the hell else we are.

Anyone know what the deal is, here? I'm normally not one to let anything get me down, but gravity certainly brought me down through my living room floor this morning.

Ouch, incidentally.
 

B || DAY || CUNNINGHAM LANE STREETS

[Tony's a man of science and tomfoolery. That's why he's phasing his hand in and out of his otherwise-solid-looking front door experimentally. Then he's sticking other limbs in there -- one foot, then the other... walk by at the right time and you might just see a bemused human head seemingly stuck in the door, looking about the area and curiously inspecting the clouds in the sky.]

You never know!

[thecoolexec]

[He cups his hands and shouts:]

OH MY GOD, I JUST FOUND THE WAY OUT OF MAYFIELD!!

[He waits, peering around. No one comes running. Some drones walk by peering at him oddly.] Guess we're alone.

[thecoolexec]

So, doomed to hamburgers are we, huh?

[thecoolexec]

You got it, dude.

[thecoolexec]

[Tony stops midwalk, back still turned. He doesn't look around as the fireball flies wild. When it crashes into a garage door across the street, he just keeps on walking.]

[equinamity]

Though I wouldn't say that what I've heard constitutes hard facts, I have been told that people aren't getting routinely stuck; they are simply able to phase through usually olid objects.

As I'm not a scientist...I haven't ever thought of Mayfield as a place in which people could run tests they usually would be unable to.

[thecoolexec]

Trust me. I only figured it out after doing some SERIOUS soul searching and optimistic thinking. Had to find a bright side.
Case in point -- I fell through my bedroom floor this morning, BUT I managed to snag the passing interest of a beautiful blonde. Bright side.

[equinamity]

[Okay. Points for effort, Mr. Stark. At least you tried to find a bright side.]

Passing interest, indeed.

[Wait, wait for it--is she smiling?! Maybe. It was such a fleeting moment.]

You remind me of my commanding officer, Mr. Stark. Have you always been this much of a flirt? It honestly isn't particularly becoming.

[little_thief]

Unless you want to try that suspicious-sounding French place.

[thecoolexec]

Only with the pretty ones, miss. Only with the pretty ones.

[thecoolexec]

...Hm. French, huh? The portions may be tiny, but the PRIZE...
[Mass Effect memes]
Let's live a little. Worst that can happen is we continue eating the same food forever. The best that can happen is crepes!

Hardly,
Before I got stuck in this hell hole I'd see em all the time.

[her voice gets breathy and lustful at this point, her ultimate pick up line!]

I'm an angel~

Re: B

[thecoolexec]

You sure are. [Not because he's smitten or anything -- he just can't resist an opportunity for good ol flirt-wit.]

[little_thief]

Definitely worth the risk.

[thecoolexec]

When's a good time for you?

Re: B

[likes2havesex]

Maybe if you're lucky I'll give you a ride to heaven~

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Meiling laughs. Loud. ] That's one way to do it! [ She moves past him toward the stairs, extending a hand for him after she passed. Yes it's his house, but— ] I'll go first and let you know if the floor is going to give out. [ Flying helps with that. ]

[little_thief]

Anytime, I guess. I don't have a job this time.

[thecoolexec]

Enjoy it while you can. It's a pain in the ass working for Mayfield. Are you at the high school then?

[thecoolexec]

Excellent suggestion. Yeah. Go ahead. [He takes her hand and pulls himself up, disgruntled, but more alarmed. He... hadn't considered the whole floor situation. This could be...unfortunate.]

[little_thief]

You'd actually date a high school student? You must be pretty hard-up.

[thecoolexec]

God no. That's why I'm asking. Deal breaker.

[little_thief]

Well, I'm not a student here anymore, so no worries.

thankfully I don't have to have access to continue this thread >.>

[not_so_great_wall]

[ It could be, but if she has to do this in the basement just so there's no more floor to phase through, she will. Hopefully it won't come to that. ]

haha access? what do you mean?

[thecoolexec]

[He waits at the bottom of the stairs awkwardly, waiting to see the situation. He slicks his hair back with his hand a little and checks his teeth in a nearby reflection. Does he smell good? ...Yeah, he's ok, good.] What's the word, pretty bird?
