You Know Who I Am

The name's Tony Stark. You might have heard of me. You know, Billionaire Genius, Iron Man, the brains and money behind the Avengers? Yeah, I'm kind of a big deal. Current M!A: None. Pre-IM3 unless otherwise stated.

[deactivatedrpblog]

Um. Hi. Wow, look, I'm still alive. Who would have guessed.

As you *ahem* may or may not have noticed, I haven't really been available for the past month or so. I apologize profusely. My mom's depression got really bad, school started up, I got involved in a whole bunch of activities in between visiting my mom at the hospital because we weren't watching closely enough. Between all of this, I didn't have any time for tumblr-ing and, even though I'm making this post, I still don't have much time to tumblr the way I want to, and the way you deserve.

Which brings me to the reason I am making this post. For those of you still sticking around, those of you with whom I have RPed and still are patiently waiting for replies, I am still here. I don't have the time and energy to keep up a full-on roleplay blog like I really want to, BUT, if you enjoyed roleplaying with me and want to continue our RP or start a new one, email me at [email protected] and we can do it over email.

I'm so sorry I let you all down like this, but real life is a bitch, huh?

Now, back to your regularly scheduled dashboard.

Tony smiles in Bruce’s general direction before collapsing on the couch. Immediately, it becomes even more of a struggle to keep his eyes open, and after a moment, he doesn’t try. From there, it would be so easy to fall asleep, but Tony manages to stay conscious, remembering Bruce had said something about food. Still, he’s in a half-dozing state when the elevator doors slide open and Bruce’s voice calls out. Tony can’t quite manage words, but he manages a tired grunting sound, so that Bruce will know where he is.

[mindoverbanner-deactivated20151]

A soft smile tugs on his lips when he sees his friend’s valiant effort to remain awake.  Setting the tray down on the coffee table, he sighs and rests his hands on his hips, mouth twisting to the side a moment as he regards the exhausted man.  After a moment he picks up the orange juice and takes Tony’s hand, pressing the glass into his palm.

"At least drink this before you fall asleep.  You need something in you," Bruce says before taking a step back.  He decides to wait until he’s at least done that before he leaves.  "If you need anything I’ll be in my lab, but I don’t expect to see you until hopefully dinner time.  You really shouldn’t run yourself so ragged.  It’s not healthy."

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Says the giant green rage monster," mutters Tony, but while in someone else it might have been insulting or derogatory, from Tony, it's only gently teasing. Still, with only a few unintelligible mutterings, Tony accepts the glass and takes a drink. It's a struggle, even while he's drinking, to stay awake, and his eyes flutter closed several times before setting down the glass, still half-full. "Can I sleep now, Brucie?" He whines.

[deactivatedrpblog]

Marry me?

[dominaxveroxfelem-deactivated20]

"Oh, you can still ask if you want, you’ll just know the answer," Valerie said with a chuckle, blushing.  She took the ring and took Tony’s left hand, slipping the ring on his ring finger.

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Thank you." Tony says softly, smiling down at the ring, and then at her. "You’ll have to give me a few days to make me your ring, though." He grins fiercely now, beaming with the force of his joy and love. 

[dominaxveroxfelem-deactivated20]

"I think I’ll manage waiting," Valerie said with a smile, a soft purr rising in her throat.  She wrapped her arms around his shoulder and nuzzled his face and neck, a sign of her affection, adoration and love.

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony wraps his arms around Valerie, holding her tight against himself. "I love you." He whispers.

Luffy stared a bit, trying to process all this new information with varying degrees of success. Mostly, he just looked horribly, horribly confused, and gave up on listening after the pepper spray part, his arms crossing, but his eyes shadowed as if he were pissed about something.

Once Tony finished his tangent and asked if that answered his questions, his head perked back up, his frame straightening from where it had begun to tilt. Luffy made a bit of a sheepish smile as he replied, “I told you I hate long stories, you almost put me to sleep.”

Either way, he followed Tony’s advice, making himself as many sandwiches as the left-out fixing would sustain. “Who’s JARVIS?”

[deactivatedrpblog]

"It wasn't that long." Tony pouts. "And you should listen to my stories, they're usually pretty good." 

Tony watches with increasing incredulously as Luffy prepared sandwich after sandwhich after sandwhich. "Wow, hungry much?" He muttered under his breath, before raising his voice to address Luffy's question. "JARVIS is my Ai. Say hi, JARVIS." Tony instructs the air.

"Hi, JARVIS." Replies the dry, english-accented voice  from the ceiling.

"Don't be such a smart alec." Tony scolds.

Tony nods and looks around, observing the room with interest. It’s a far shot from his own luxurious living quarters, but he didn’t expect the rest of the world to meet his standards. Still, he got the impression that Val’s living situation was slightly worse than the average middle-class woman, and Tony mentally made a note to get her into a better house. As he waits for Val, he heads towards the table, picking up one of the knives and examining it curiously.

[dominaxveroxfelem-deactivated20]

Valerie carried the first aid kit out to the living room, walking over to the table and setting it down.  ”I should have a few bandages in here, if not they’re in a box in the kitchen,” she said, opening the case and digging for the bandages.  It was quite likely that she didn’t put them away after using them last time.  Right now, she couldn’t remember.  She kept her head down, feeling ashamed of the state of her apartment.  It wasn’t something she liked showing anyone.

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Nice place." Tony replied honestly. He always loved seeing other people's houses. Given how he had grown up in a life of opulence and luxury, he wasn't entirely sure what the standards were, but he liked Valerie's house. It was small, and cosy. He steps closer to Valerie, glancing over at the first aid kit to look for the bandages.

"You’re not in this business, so I wouldn’t expect you to understand," Tony says sourly, "But if I’m compromised, I want to make it as hard as possible for the bad guys to get me out of my suit, for two reasons. One, I’m a lot safer inside, even if it’s harder to move around, and two, I don’t want anyone getting ahold of this tech." He huffs out a breath. "And I can reach the release, but this suit is a new model and I hadn’t anticipated how heavy it would be. I could struggle until I reached it myself, or I could just ask you. Which I did.”

[artemisfowlrp-deactivated201309]

"Yes, but you could put the manual releases inside the suit in an area where it’s easier for you to reach," Artemis said. "You really should calculate things better, you know that?" He huffed before nodding. "Fine. What do I have to do? And if it requires actual strength to get it to open, then I may have to call Butler. I’m not very good with things that require brawn over brains."

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony mutters some choice words under his breath at the kid's impudence before saying louder, "Nah, no brawn required. There's a catch underneath the plate on my shoulder. Just pull up on that and it'll pack away mechanically."

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Pepper, you are the light of my life." Tony said fervently as he accepted the folder. "I could not survive without you. Thank you." He sits down at one of the lab tables and pulls up one of the semi-full cups of coffee scattered around the room to sip on as he begins signing the forms.

[tonysbetterhalf]

Pepepr nodded. “that’s all i get?” she said looking at him. “I got my ass out of bed early for you today.”

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony stood and walked towards Pepper,spreading his arms. "I'm so sorry baby. Come here." He beckoned invitingly.

Battle Of The Exhausted Starks

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Yeah, well." Tony looks away. "That’s one of the hazards of being me. You get used to it, eventually." In an effort to steer the conversation away from such dreary topics, he teases, "So, are you tired yet?"

[the-girl-with-the-iron-hear-blog]

"Nope," she says with a smile, happy that she hadn’t completely shut him out. "Are you?" She pokes his side.

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony grins ruefully. "Yeah, a bit." He admitted and rubbed at his eyes.

Proof of Death

[theonetruewhiplash]

Ivan of course dodges such swing and grabs Steve’s hand. Knowing that Steve does not have the shield, Ivan knees Steve in the nuts. Steve is just like him, only enhanced to be strong. “I’d hate to come in between you two love birds.” He kicks both guys and walks out.

[deactivatedrpblog]

Steve goes down hard, and although he's back up momentarily, Ivan's already gone. "Fucking bastard." Tony mutters from the floor as Steve runs after Ivan, whether in an attempt to catch him or to make sure of his departure, Tony's not sure.

Movie Night

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony smiled into the quick kiss before following Valerie back to the catch. With a long-suffering sigh, he nodded his agreement and threw himself down on the couch, leaning his head against Valerie’s shoulder in a position that he could watch the movie but still see her from the corner of his eye.

[dominaxveroxfelem-deactivated20]

Valerie purred as Tony sat beside her, leaning over to kiss his forehead before looking back at the movie.  She ate the popcorn a bit more steadily, occasionally holding pieces up for Tony to eat.

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony munched on the popcorn as Valerie fed them to him. He began to watch the movie in earnest, truly getting into the tale, laughing at the funny parts and frowning at the sad. For once, he even managed to keep from dissing how unlikely everything was.

I hate board meetings | Pepper and Tony

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Seriously, Pep, I’m fine, it’s nothing." Tony manages to keep his eyes locked with Pepper for a grand total of two seconds before he looks away again, pretty  much erasing his facade of serious aloofness.

[pottspepperpotts-archive-deacti]

Pepper narrowed her eyes at him, her arms crossing over her stomach as a foot tapped against the ground. “Really? Nothing? Why are you acting so… strangely?” She questioned, canting her head to one side.

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony shook his head. "Forget it, Pep." The car came to a halt, and Tony perks up. "Oh, look, we're back." He practically leaps from the car.

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Okay, well, I’m a genius, so I could understand the systems of the ship (probably) and perhaps improve them." Tony raises an eyebrow. "Good enough for you?"

[itissimplylogical]

"Genius or not, you have no been cleared to look into the ship’s systems."

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Oh god." Tony groaned. "Of course the first person I run into in an alternate universe is a stickler for the rules."

"For one, I’ve got some questions about the technology in this little…house of yours…"

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony frowned, brow furrowing. "Um, no," He snorts. "I think not."

[deactivatedrpblog]

I hate board meetings | Pepper and Tony

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Um, no, nothing to talk about, nope, I’m good." Tony replies, smiling slightly strained back at her before looking down at his phone. God, this is embarrassing. When did he turn into a fourteen-year-old with a crush?

[pottspepperpotts-archive-deacti]

She narrowed her eyes at him for a moment, not buying that for one moment. “I’ve known you for twelve years,” she replied pointedly. “What’s going on?” She furrowed her brow, keeping her eyes on him even as he turned away.

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Seriously, Pep, I'm fine, it's nothing." Tony manages to keep his eyes locked with Pepper for a grand total of two seconds before he looks away again, pretty  much erasing his facade of serious aloofness.

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Well, at least I’m on the same planet." Tony sighs. "Okay, then, Spock, I got another question for ya.” Now he grins. “Can I see a starship?”

[itissimplylogical]

That grin is a smile Spock recognizes, it’s one that Jim wears to often and one that he hardly likes at all, lips pursing he challenges Tony, “you will have to convince me.”

[deactivatedrpblog]

"Okay, well, I'm a genius, so I could understand the systems of the ship (probably) and perhaps improve them." Tony raises an eyebrow. "Good enough for you?"

[deactivatedrpblog]

"I’m sure he did." Tony says wryly as he glances in the direction of the huge man. Turning back to Artemis, he shakes his head. "Nuh-uh, sorry, but I’m not telling you how those things work. You’re too smart for your own good; You’d figure it out."

[artemisfowlrp-deactivated201309]

"Oh, he did. He’s a world class bodyguard, whose only objective is to keep me safe from harm. Being a Fowl comes with its dangers," Artemis said as he leaned back in his chair. A scowl threatened to take over his features at Tony’s words. "Alright then. But you may find the plans leaked to every major government in the next couple of months then."

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony's expression darkened, but he kept his tone light. "Look, ki- Artemis. I like you, okay. You're cool. So, if you know what's good for you." He leans forward in his seat, his voice suddenly low and intense, his eyes to match. "Don't threaten me."

[deactivatedrpblog]

Movie Night

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony sighs heavily. “How am I supposed to say no when you ask like that?” He says with a mock-scowl. Slowly, he lowers the bowl of popcorn and proffers it towards Valerie. “Here, take your popcorn.”

[dominaxveroxfelem-deactivated20]

Valerie grinned, climbing off him and taking the bowl.  She leaned up to kiss him quickly, nipping at his lip before she padded back to the couch, sitting with the bowl on her lap.  ”C’mon, we gotta finish the movie!” she said, looking back at him.

[deactivatedrpblog]

Tony smiled into the quick kiss before following Valerie back to the catch. With a long-suffering sigh, he nodded his agreement and threw himself down on the couch, leaning his head against Valerie's shoulder in a position that he could watch the movie but still see her from the corner of his eye.
