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.]

Well, the car thing is scary. The floor thing has already HAPPENED. I'm too terrified to use the bathroom.

[thecoolexec]

[Tony adjusts his suit and straightens his cuffs with slight disdain.] I haven't really thought it through. I tend to work better that way.

[thecoolexec]

Well, I'm not a fan of collapsing through floors, but I see what you mean. We've seen worse, haven't we? Much worse.

Still, this is... There's no holiday I know of right now. Even if there is, what is it, Made In China Day?

...Are you Chinese?

[little_thief]

Huh? No, I'm from LA.

[thecoolexec]

[he nods, satisfied.]

So yeah, what is this, Made in China Day?

[not_so_great_wall]

Ahh. [ Meiling puts her hands on her hips and nods. She gets it. ] Patchouli's always telling me to not run off without telling her what's going on, so you should do the same if you need any help from me.

[little_thief]

Beats me. They do hate communists here. China's still communist, right?

[thecoolexec]

Now you're speaking my language. I will. I might look you up if things get interesting. For now though...just a little investigation. Maybe some donuts.

[equinamity]

Mr. Stark, at risk of invoking my mother's tone, you might get yourself stuck that way if you keep your head there like that.

[Riza is on her way home from work, still finding Tony not the most amusing person in the world, and couldn't help but notice someone's head sticking through the door.]

Re: phone

[answerer_sword]

This does not seem to be a voluntary antic from Zemekis.

[soulless_soldier]

...Yeah, that could be awkward. Or while in the shower.

...

I think I'll go back to campin' out on Makeout Point more.

[not_so_great_wall]

Investigation and donuts. A winning combination! [ Okay, so maybe she's just hungry. ]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

IT Department?

Re: B

[likes2havesex]

[well thats not the response she was expecting, maybe this guy is more fun then she thought]

Oh yeah, but obligated to who? Oi and just because you're obligated doesn't mean it's easy.

[thecoolexec]

[A small, wry smile and a peer over the top of his shades.]Hm. Somehow, I thought you'd think so.

Re: B

[thecoolexec]

That's true. I meant less "easily" and more "uncontrollably". And to answer your first question, God, prob'ly. Or to whoever else writes the script for my life.

[thecoolexec]

Probably safe. But where's the fun in safety? Hey, why are you here anyway?

[thecoolexec]

Or something. I was always more a fan of Japan anyway. Though Chinese food is way better.

Re: Cunningham Lane

[thecoolexec]

[WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME RIZAHe turns at the sound of her voice.] If she's anything like you, she must be quite lovely, in between reciting tired motherisms.

Re: A

[thecoolexec]

Yeah. You know, Information Technology. Those sweaty young guys with the USB cables and questionable social skills.

[Are you really one to talk about social skills...?]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

USB cables?

Re: phone

[thecoolexec]

Could it be an involuntary one? I have no other leads to follow. That's the first one I've had all day.

[thecoolexec]

Yeah, the... plugs that... Know what, forget it, you're probably from like 1692 or something, knowing Mayfield. Or the Land That Tech Forgot.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

There are a lot of things I don't know about here, but I've been learning, and I want to keep doing so.

[thecoolexec]

....
[He feels slightly sorry about the snippy tone, given her genuine response. SLIGHTLY. Tony has small feels. Miniature.]
Good. That's a good attitude. To have. Anyway, you Do know what I'm talking about, don't you? Not the USB stuff, the weird glitchy Mayfieldy stuff.
