Eighteen Explosions [Video] She was a fast machine...

Oct 16, 2010 15:46

[Tony is sitting up in bed. He hasn't got a shirt on and the sheets are pooled at his waist. One wrist is handcuffed to a sleeping blonde. There's a bot delivering a pot of coffee and one of tea.]

Do try not to spill it, Dummy.

[Then he looks to the device]

I've had worse mornings.

tony is a jackass, tony is an egomaniac, tony is cursed, tony is a playboy, tony is a genius

[So Rose is blissfully unaware until she slowly opens her eyes muttering something or other. She appears to be very groggy as she sits up and notices that she's not in her room and not alone.]

...Hello...Tony...?

[She pulls slightly back to notice the cuff against her wrist. and its link and she can't remember...]

...Blimey...Did I...

Re: [Action] idmakeitaweek October 16 2010, 21:34:33 UTC

Not that I remember and I didn't have enough scotch last night to not remember. Besides, handcuffs aren't really my style.

[He looks over to her.]

Tea or coffee?

[Action] shewashuman October 17 2010, 12:54:04 UTC

[She quirks an eyebrow at him.]

They aren't?

[That's when she notices the bot with surprise and of course she's impressed.]

Coffee, please. Another hobby of yours?

Re: [Action] idmakeitaweek October 17 2010, 18:46:28 UTC

Not particularly. I know you'd think otherwise.

[He lets the bot hold the cup and pours the coffee for her.]

Cream or sugar? I have to get some decent help around here. Not that Dummy is decent help but he's a work in progress.

[Truth? Very few people will work for him. Natasha and....Natasha. He pays her very well.]

[Action] shewashuman October 17 2010, 23:22:42 UTC

Well maybe. Though you never really know though.

[She gives him a playful wink.]

Sugar please. Dummy though. [Again she's staring back at the bot. It sort of reminds of something she's seen in the future.] What a name.

[She half amused now looking back at Tony and brushing some hair away from her face with her other hand considering something.]

You know if you actually do need other help around here with a more human touch, just let me know.

Re: [Action] idmakeitaweek October 18 2010, 00:41:17 UTC

[Tony stirs sugar into her coffee and passes it over.]

The other is named you so when I'm frustrated with both of them I can yell 'you dummy' and cover all my bases.

[He quirks an eyebrow up at her, considering this offer.]

Offering to be hired help or room mate? Part time or full in either case.

[Action] shewashuman October 18 2010, 02:12:16 UTC

[Rose reaches for it and grasps the cup before blowing into it and taking a sip finding it to be perfect.]

You Dummy? [And at hearing that she just laughs.] That is just rich. Very smart that.

Well...[She bites her lip debating again. There is that ticking to think about.]

A bit of both actually? [And suddenly she looks a bit sheepish surprised at her own words before staring at her mug of coffee as if captivated by it.]

Well if you could use it. Or want to I mean. If not that's fine too. But I'm really gonna be needing a job soon. [Or a room mate, she thinks and maybe taking a better look around his labs. New tech always fascinates her.]

I'd give you a resume but I sort of left it in the other universe.

Re: [Action] idmakeitaweek October 18 2010, 16:52:59 UTC

[Tony ponders this then shrugs]

Alright. You can take one of the other rooms. I'll let JARVIS know so he'll adjust the security system. I'll let Miss Rushman know so she's not surprised if she stops by. If you can handle my dry cleaning, dishes, the standard fare we'll forgo rent.

Sound fair enough to you?

[Action] shewashuman October 19 2010, 00:28:45 UTC

I think I can manage that. [She takes another sip of coffee.] Though the standard fare bit. Curses and wild parties apply?

Fair enough. Yeah.

Re: [Action] idmakeitaweek October 19 2010, 16:16:31 UTC

I'll hire extra cleaning crews for the wild parties and any curses that destroy the house to that point. We'll set your salary to [And he pauses to think a moment about that] An indigo above minimum wage?

Make yourself at home here. Decorate your room however you like. Do you need anything in particular? Not now. In general.

[Action] shewashuman October 22 2010, 23:27:09 UTC

That's...][She smiles for a moment at the offer. Really it was more than she was expecting.] Very generous of you. It's a deal. [She'd try to shake his hand but hey one is handcuffed and her other hand is busy with the coffee.]

Well...[She pauses mulling it over in her head but not really coming up with anything solid.] Not really. But if I come up with anything I'll be letting you know.

[She looks over at the bot and then back at Tony.]

So tell me can he make cheese on toast?

Re: [Action] idmakeitaweek October 24 2010, 00:16:58 UTC

[He doesn't mind not shaking hands. He's in the same predicament. he looks over at Dummy and tilts his head, giving it a doubtful look]

He'll do alright. Liable to burn it if you don't watch him though. [He looks back to Rose] Would you like to attempt getting up and heading downstairs?

[Action] shewashuman October 25 2010, 01:52:20 UTC

[Rose's eyebrow quirks at that.]

So still in training then. Ought to be some sort of alarm thing on him.

[Rose considers it for a moment, setting the coffee down on the night table before nodding.]

Alright. It should be interesting.

[Which is really an understatement as she attempts to throw off the douvet revealing her polka dot pattern pyjamas. Her eyes go back to Tony as she still debates how to go about this.]

Your side or mine?

Re: [Action] idmakeitaweek October 25 2010, 03:05:52 UTC

I think he does it on purpose. There's nothing in his code that makes him buggy. [He aims a glare at Dummy.]

Let's go with your side. We'll stop and grab a pair of jeans on the way out.

[Unfortunately Tony sleeps in his boxer shorts]

[Action] shewashuman October 27 2010, 00:35:26 UTC

A stubborn robot. Now that's a bit amusing.

[And with Rose being how she is...she just stares at Tony for a bit trying not to make it too obvious but of course failing before nudging slowly towards her side. Moving slowly inch by inch until her feet hit the floor and she's standing on them. A look at the door before glancing down at the floor trying to search for said jeans and not finding them.]

Dresser or closet?

Re: [Action] idmakeitaweek October 27 2010, 01:17:56 UTC

You'll change your mind after a week or so of having him mess things up for you. [Although he'll probably end up behaving beautifully for Rose]

Dresser.

[He edges over to the dresser, aware she's staring and grinning a bit because of it. He pulls one drawer open and fishes a pair of jeans out then struggles with getting them pulled on one handed]
