[ The device is situated perfectly as it almost always seems to be in this place, zooming in and capturing a red and gold suit of armor flying high above a sea of trees and headed straight toward a larger, bulkier, but still sleek silver suit. Red and gold twists and turns and does a few tricks, palms glowing white and blue as it shoots out a few

[awarmachine]

What, so if I lectured you after 9 p.m. you'd listen?

[ironmanic]

Sure- that's what the headphones are for.

[He now has a convenient attachment dock on his arm for the device to stay]

[awarmachine]

Somehow, I don't believe you.

[ironmanic]

[The faceplate slides down one more time.]

Last one to City Solutions stocks my liquor fridge?

[awarmachine]

Oh, you're on.

[ Faceplate slides shut and a second later, the War Machine is in the air and flying full speed towards City Solutions. ]

[ironmanic]

Ass.

[And Tony's after him a second later, cursing himself for uh...pretty much altering Rhodey's repulsors so that even with all the additional weight, he could easily fly the same speeds Tony can]

[awarmachine]

[ Yeah, not answering that because he's busy not flying into buildings at this speed. Not that the suit would let him, most likely, but, well. Better to pay attention, especially when there's alcohol on the line. And his pride.

And guess who - possibly not only due to that one second headstart - is the first to land on the roof of City Solutions? Yeah.

Sliding the faceplate up again and smirking. ]

[ironmanic]

[Tony arrives a few seconds later, actually - he hit a bird, who knew they were still around - and his faceplate slides up as he points at Rhodey]

Not a word, buddy.

[awarmachine]

Did you hear me talk? 'cause I didn't say a thing.

[ His smirk says it all, though. Oh yes. ]

Is that feathers?

[ironmanic]

It's cold- who knew the birds here say screw you to common migratory instinct?

[He brushes them off, scowling.]

Name your poison already.

[awarmachine]

There's a shield of some sort all around this place. I don't think they can migrate.

[ It's basic logic, Tony, really. ]

Anything that's not hot sake.

[ironmanic]

That should be considered animal cruelty. They're birds- they migrate. They get their feathers in my suit. It's just plain rude.

[Snorts and he leads them to the rooftop elevator]

So if I get to pick-

[awarmachine]

You only care because of the feathers in your suit.

[ Eye-roll. ]

It had better be something good, Tony.

[ironmanic]

Project Runway says feathers are so last year. Keep up with the times.

[And down to the cafe/bar area of the building.]

It's me- when is it not something good when you're with me?

[awarmachine]

I would say your ego is astonishing, but it hardly surprises me anymore.

[ironmanic]

They say my picture's next to narcissist in the dictionary. Nice of them, isn't it? I'll have to send Merriam Webster a thank-you card.
