Nine Explosions [Voice // Action in front of City Solutions]

[idmakeitaweek]

Ah so this is like Stark Expo a bit.

Or a press conference.

In any case, I'll be out in front of City Solutions giving demonstrations with the suit--it's not entirely finished yet--taking pictures and signing autographs.

[It's obvious by his voice, he's enjoying this far too much]

[Private to Miss Rushman]We might want to look into hiring

[At some point during the little show, a bunch of interns and some cameras show up. Along with... this guy.]

Mr. Stark! Is it true that you support Obama as our 44th President, sir?!

[idmakeitaweek]

[Fantastic. Reporters. Except Tony actually is a little happy to see them. He never thought he'd miss the press]

President is a difficult position. I happen to think there are others more qualified for the job but then I'm a little busy trying to run a company and maintain world peace. No. I'm kidding---No I'm not really but he's doing an alright job I suppose.

[hail_truthiness]

[Well, enjoy it while you can -- he'll be here all day.]

Good, good. What about your thoughts on the War on Terror? Do you think that the terrorists are all just talk, or have you encountered some with bite?

[idmakeitaweek]

I've found a couple that snap but as you can imagine, I bite back harder.

[And yes he is winking at one of the photographers]

[hail_truthiness]

[Said photographer -- a busty female thing -- winks back.]

I can only imagine. To see the visage of the mettalic knight who spirits away evil like magic -- that which, when crowds see the red and gold of that suit -- they reach into the sky and shout, "IRON MAN!"

...how does it all feel, Mr. Stark?

[idmakeitaweek]

I've got to tell you... It is good to be Iron Man.

[hail_truthiness]

As a true-blooded patriot, I stand by that sentiment. America is truly blessed to have you as a citizen, sir.

[idmakeitaweek]

[Tony puts his hand over his 'heart' and gives the photographers a grin]

Indeed but people such as yourself, true, serious newscasters concerned with bringing the American public the truth, are just as important as those of us who blow things up in the name of Freedom.

[hail_truthiness]

[The photographers respond accordingly, moving closer and taking pictures amidst the shouts. Said busty female photographer (NPC?) that you winked at is almost in front of you, too.]

And as long as we stand, we shall continue to. You're too kind, Mr. Stark, but that's never a bad thing, isn't it?

[idmakeitaweek]

It's the one thing you can never have too much of. [And there's posing and some excessive grinning at the busty photographer.]

[hail_truthiness]

[Said photographer squeals and latches onto Tony's arm, much to Colbert's embarrassment.]

At any rate, what do you think is the future of Iron Man, Mr. Stark?

[idmakeitaweek]

[Tony's arm goes around the photographer's shoulders, pulling her closer. Clearly he intends on keeping her]

Iron Man will continue to help the world keep peace. I intend to keep the people of this City safe just as I've been doing at home. I also hope to help advance some of the technology of things here.

[hail_truthiness]

[She gonna get taken home?]

As well as you would -- I don't even know why I had to ask.

[A few of the reporters laugh as Colbert thinks of another question.]

What sort of technology are you thinking of advancing while you're here?

[idmakeitaweek]

[Naturally! Unless she has objections or her boss does]

As you may be aware, Mr. Colbert, we've got curses in the City. Not to mention a great variety in species here. I'm working on weaponry that will disable rather than kill as well as curse specific and specie specific weapons for the suit.

[hail_truthiness]

[Well, it LOOKS like COlbert's about to make one, but a glare from said photographer shuts him up. lol.]

Ah. That would make sense. Is it possible -- and acceptable -- for me to ask what weapons are already in development?
