11:23:14 PM John (colonelinblack): You finally buckled and got AIM!
11:23:37 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): How bizarre is it for a man such as myself to be so behind in a trend?
11:23:43 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): By a decade, it would seem...
11:23:50 PM John (colonelinblack): Not too bizarre
11:24:10 PM John (colonelinblack): You've been pretty busy inspiring awesome in other, less teen-invested territory
11:24:42 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Oh come on, John, you'll embarrass me terribly....
11:25:17 PM John (colonelinblack): Yeah, yeah
11:25:25 PM John (colonelinblack): So how's it goin, man?
11:26:30 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Not too bad, not too bad. I'm in my office in SHIELD, attempting not to fall asleep with my phone in my hand. And you, my dear colonel?
11:27:18 PM John (colonelinblack): I'm homesick
11:27:39 PM John (colonelinblack): But I go back soon so it's OK...
11:28:01 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): How soon? A week or so, right?
11:28:18 PM John (colonelinblack): Less than
11:28:57 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Fantastic! How tall are you?
11:29:03 PM John (colonelinblack): ..six foot
11:29:44 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Mm. Just a little taller than me. That's alright, I think we can make do with that. You won't be able to use it, but I think you should try on the suit.
11:30:02 PM John (colonelinblack): ....OH MY GOD
11:30:04 PM John (colonelinblack): REALLY?
11:31:01 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Oh, absolutely. There'll be a few...odd looking gaps, but I think you need to get it on. And photos. Dozens of photos. And maybe you could use the boots, if I hooked them up to an external power source...
11:31:11 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): what I'm saying John, is I'm bored, and the look on your face will be priceless.
11:31:53 PM John (colonelinblack): :D
11:32:09 PM John (colonelinblack): I don't think I have to tell you how down I am with that
11:35:26 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): You truly do not. And it would be my honor. We'll go down to the range at SI and I'll show you the Repulsor Cannon and how incredibly awesome it is to blow up a 100 pound bag of non-dairy creamer...
11:35:52 PM John (colonelinblack): Oh god... that sounds amazing
11:36:12 PM John (colonelinblack): I've missed explosions, despite the fact that I'm usually near death when they happen...
11:36:38 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): You truly do lead the most fascinating life, my dear John...
11:36:55 PM John (colonelinblack): Oh!
11:36:58 PM John (colonelinblack): I almost forgot
11:37:13 PM John (colonelinblack): The General wanted to ask if you had time to help us out again, sometime...
11:37:38 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Absolutely, my good man. When, and what?
11:37:57 PM John (colonelinblack): I'm not sure when, I'm sure he'll tell me at the SG-1 dinner... but
11:38:10 PM John (colonelinblack): He wants you to help with the x-303s and 4s
11:38:25 PM John (colonelinblack): ...space fighter jet things
11:38:52 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Mm, I can do that. I shall bring along my faithful sidekick, Colon Rhodes. He's a little better wiht the lingo than myself.
11:39:12 PM John (colonelinblack): lol yeah...
11:39:20 PM John (colonelinblack): It comes with the territory
11:39:40 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Mmm, that it does. He makes my head spin.
11:39:49 PM John (colonelinblack): I bet
11:40:05 PM John (colonelinblack): McKay does that to me with all the fucking science talk
11:40:17 PM John (colonelinblack): At least Zelenka knows well enough to dumb it down the first time I ask
11:42:55 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Again, my dear friend, you lead the most interesting life.
11:43:14 PM John (colonelinblack): ...because my scientists are annoying?
11:43:40 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Because I'm not sure I'd believe anyone else when they told me about their life on ATLANTIS.
11:43:57 PM John (colonelinblack): Yeah, OK, Mr Arc-reactor
11:44:17 PM John (colonelinblack): ...speaking of
11:44:22 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Mmm?
11:44:22 PM John (colonelinblack): Well, of me
11:44:25 PM John (colonelinblack): Not of you
11:44:28 PM John (colonelinblack): anyway
11:44:34 PM John (colonelinblack): They yanked command on Atlantis
11:44:38 PM John (colonelinblack): put some IOA puppet in charge
11:45:00 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Oh, for fuck's sake. Are there going to be problems with my involvement?
11:45:16 PM John (colonelinblack): No, you'll be working on Earth with O'Neill..
11:45:30 PM John (colonelinblack): I just think it's fucking convenient that they did this with me in another galaxy
11:46:13 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): I think so too, my friend. Perhaps...mmm. Perhaps you should attempt to spend more time on Earth...
11:46:30 PM John (colonelinblack): ....to lose even more control of the city?
11:46:41 PM John (colonelinblack): I was thinking more like, I'm never going to take leave again
11:47:23 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): I'm worried for your safety and wellbeing there, John. I tend to like to have my friends in my sights. At least in the same galaxy. Are you sure you're in a safe position there?
11:47:31 PM John (colonelinblack): No
11:47:41 PM John (colonelinblack): But how can anyone ever be sure of that?
11:47:46 PM John (colonelinblack): I didn't enlist for safety's sake
11:48:02 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): You have a good point. And there's no promising safety anywhere in the universe...
11:48:08 PM John (colonelinblack): Nope
11:48:11 PM John (colonelinblack): And Tony...
11:48:21 PM John (colonelinblack): I love you and all, but Earth just isn't.. home
11:49:10 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): I know. I understand that, I do. As long as you keep the doors open, John...I'd hate for you to lose touch.
11:49:37 PM John (colonelinblack): Don't worry about that
11:49:58 PM John (colonelinblack): ......that was a convenient time to lose my connection
11:50:24 PM John (colonelinblack): I promise I'll call every day, Mom
11:50:25 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): .....eerie.
11:50:25 PM John (colonelinblack): Really
11:50:33 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): *laughs* See that you do, junior.
11:50:59 PM John (colonelinblack): Yeah...
11:51:11 PM John (colonelinblack): I'm starting to feel bad for this puppet-guy already
11:51:19 PM John (colonelinblack): He hasn't even had to deal with me yet
11:51:28 PM John (colonelinblack): And McKay you know... is way worse
11:52:03 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Mhmmm. He's...well, I'm sure he has a delightful personality. You know. Under the hard candy shell.
11:52:17 PM John (colonelinblack): ...are you?
11:52:28 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Not in the least.
11:52:31 PM John (colonelinblack): Good
11:52:34 PM John (colonelinblack): Because it's lies
11:52:49 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): *laughs* Lies and manipulation.
11:52:56 PM John (colonelinblack): You know it, buddy
11:53:16 PM John (colonelinblack): But dude, I already got Z-Money working on a program... to make Woolsey's life hell
11:53:25 PM John (colonelinblack): Rodney will be so pissed he didn't think of this shit first
11:54:39 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): Sometimes, John, I worry about our military's spending. And then a conversation like this reknews my faith.
11:54:50 PM John (colonelinblack): Glad to hear it
11:55:00 PM John (colonelinblack): I'm all about restoring faith in... America
11:55:39 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): You and Steve are practically peas in a pod.
11:55:57 PM John (colonelinblack): I've been in a pod before
11:55:59 PM John (colonelinblack): It's icky
11:56:26 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): ....I do adore you, $hepp.
11:56:32 PM John (colonelinblack): :D
11:56:50 PM John (colonelinblack): I'm gonna miss you, Tony
11:56:59 PM John (colonelinblack): But we'll get you back on Atlantis sometime
11:57:24 PM John (colonelinblack): I just have to figure out how to manipulate this guy...
11:58:04 PM John (colonelinblack): And you have to see the bar Keller and I will be opening... best tonic in two galaxies for you, of course *<3*
11:59:17 PM Tony (vulture0fculture): A bar in Atlantis? Genius, dear John.
11:59:27 PM John (colonelinblack): It was Keller's idea
11:59:34 PM John (colonelinblack): She's kind of amazing that way
11:59:58 PM John (colonelinblack): As our CMO she's going to insist it's for stress level and morale
12:00:30 AM John (colonelinblack): ...because seriously, you need a drink when aliens almost eat you
12:00:38 AM John (colonelinblack): It's just kind of the way things work
12:01:22 AM Tony (vulture0fculture): I imagine it would, mm. It's times like this I regret my new seat on the sobriety wagon.
12:01:55 AM John (colonelinblack): ....I'm really proud of you, Tony
12:02:32 AM Tony (vulture0fculture): Thank you, John. The only reason I made it, and indeed went in the first place, was the sometimes forceful support of my friends.
12:02:57 AM John (colonelinblack): I understand, I'd be dead without that too
12:04:08 AM John (colonelinblack): If you ever need... anything. Someone to talk to, yell at, be sober with.. I don't care what, OK? I just don't want you to ever hesitate
12:04:49 AM Tony (vulture0fculture): I shant, John. I promise. Your friendship means the world to me. Hell, it spans galaxies.
12:05:01 AM Tony (vulture0fculture): And now, I need to leave you. Work beckons...ugh.
12:05:09 AM John (colonelinblack): Oh, work
12:05:15 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm sure we'll talk again soon
12:05:19 AM John (colonelinblack): You have fun now
12:06:33 AM Tony (vulture0fculture): Mmm, fun. Tell me what's fun about banging dents out of an alloy chest plate that were inflicted by the foot of an eight ton runaway robot...
12:06:40 AM Tony (vulture0fculture): Oh yes. Everything.
12:06:43 AM John (colonelinblack): :D
12:06:51 AM Tony (vulture0fculture): *laughs* Till next time, dear Jon. Keep safe.
12:07:00 AM John (colonelinblack): Same to you, buddy
12:07:12 AM John (colonelinblack): Tell $teve hi for me
12:07:17 AM John (colonelinblack): and tell him he owes me a pie
12:07:25 AM Tony (vulture0fculture): I will, and I will. He'll be delighted.
12:07:30 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm sure
12:07:33 AM John (colonelinblack): Later
12:08:04 AM Tony (vulture0fculture): See you, John.
12:08:16 AM John (colonelinblack): Bye, Tony
