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.]

[ That voice sounds familiar... ]

You fell through your living room floor?

[ Oh, this nagging feeling of concern and wtf technology feels familiar... ]

--Stark?

Yeah, it was sort of stark, the way I fell. I wish I could say I bounced, but I can't, cuz physics.

Wait, are you talking TO me or ABOUT me? I can never tell anymore... stupid adjectives.

[ With his best Captain America voice. ]

Tony.

[ God, dealing with Tony's eccentricities is not how Steve wants to start his day. ]

Where are you?

Uhm... Captain? Wait, wait, where are you? The hey?

[Captain America is back? He had all but disappeared, having been droned at some point after they had their first beer together and then disappearing off the face of the earth... He does sounds a little different this time, though, somehow]

I'm at-- I'm at the house they assigned me. Listen, it's complicated. Did you just get here?

["House they assigned"? What? So he's new here? And judging by his tone, he sounds too bewildered to be one of those "repeat customers" he's heard about. So Steve-o is here for the first time, and remembers Tony completely... conclusion: it's a different Captain America. HIS version.]

Nnnope, I'm a regular contributing member of society in this dump. Listen, what street are you on?

Maybe the system that holds Mayfield together is starting to have more problems with it? Someone did say the only reason why some of us aren't drones is because it can't keep everyone like that.

I'm at 627 Topper. It's at the end of the street.

We should talk somewhere more private than the phone.

What? Who... said that again?

I think Major General Armstrong told me.

Way to go, Combat Person. Here five minutes and you still made a good call (literally, also.)

The phones seem to be usually unfiltered. Sensitive information is practically broadcast to every phone in town if you're not careful.

Oh. Armstrong, huh? No wonder I didn't know. She and I don't... gel.

So, the partial drones are basically a bandwidth problem, huh? Interesting. That does make sense.

Gel?

[Wait. Not the point.]

I guess so. I mean, we're all in a giant computer from what that flyer from the other Mayfield said.

All the more reason to meet you in person. When can you be here?

[ So he has enough time to send his drone wife on an errand. ]

WAIT, SO...! Hohh-kay, hang on kid, you're... man. Blowing my mind a little bit here. Where is all this factual information coming from all of a sudden? I had theories, but they were just theories. No proof! So we are in a computer after all...

If you want to see what I got from the other Mayfield I can show it to you if you want.

[Henry seems pretty calm about all this anyways. After all, he's dealing with a curse back in Storybrooke.]

Yeah, something like that.

Kid, you remind me of a younger me -- resourceful, smart, nonchalant... you're just not quite as idiosyncratic. Probably.

I can be there in an hour. Gotta get something to fuel my brain. That's where the money comes from, y'know.

[Okay, Henry will be sheepishly smiling behind the phone.]

I'm just trying to help everyone get home, that's all.

[He has no clue what the last word you said meant though.]

Hm. Altruism, huh? Yeah, that one took me a lot longer to figure out. Maybe you're less like me than I thought. In this case, a good thing.

Who are you?

Huh? I'm sure you're not that bad. You don't go around putting curses on people, do you?

[If you're not like Regina, you're not evil.]

I'm Henry, what about you?

[ Meiling, dressed in her work overalls and a tee shirt, stares over at the front door of the house she had just passed. ] ...Tony? Are you okay? That looks painful. [ Someone has been lucky to avoid most of the glitches so far; though passing through her front gate without having to open it was pretty odd. ]

Tony Stark. Charmed and whatever.

Hm? Ah! Meiling. How's your Wednesday going?

[Tony beams, still kinda... dangling through a doorway.]

[Henry has gone quiet. Wait, Tony Stark? He's just trying to wrap his mind around this, because, they have Marvel comics in his world.]
