69th Drink

Aug 20, 2009 20:28

The more I'm in the City the more I find myself working. I've never stayed in such a small geographic area in my life. I don't think I've even stayed on one planet this long since I became Iron Man. It would be much less frustrating if I was achieving new heights in my work but with a lack of proper production facilities and materials in some ( Read more... )

Tony? I'm sorry I didn't come to work today. Every time I tried I ended up somewhere else.

morethanasuit August 21 2009, 04:18:07 UTC

Really? That's odd. You're alright though?

livingmyths August 21 2009, 04:19:17 UTC

Yes. Just... frustrated.

It's very strange.

morethanasuit August 21 2009, 04:21:20 UTC

Well, if something like that happens tomorrow let me know and we'll figure it out.

"Oka-

And then the clock struck midnight and Rain found herself transported through the City and thrown roughly at Tony's feet. She froze, staring up at him. "Tony?"

Re: Action morethanasuit August 21 2009, 04:36:27 UTC

Tony blinked as suddenly Rain, and almost a dozen other women, were suddenly in his office, around his feet. Most of the women he recognized but a few he didn't.

"What are you all doing here?" he asked, although a quick check of the network was already revealing the nature of the curse.

Ignoring the other women, Tony leaned forward to offer Rain an hand up.

Re: Action livingmyths August 21 2009, 04:38:35 UTC

Rain was totally lost and confused about why she and everyone was here. She let Tony help her up and shied away from the other woman uncertainly.

"I... I don't understand what's going on?"

Re: Action lady_wandering August 21 2009, 04:47:51 UTC

To say that the day had been confusing to Romana was an understatement. While she hadn't minded working in the TARDIS, it was really quite annoying to be thrown there by the City every time she got anywhere near City Solutions.

Still, popping into Tony's office along with a dozen or so other women, (and was that Rain?) was hardly expected either.

"What in heavens is going on here?!"

Re: Action morethanasuit August 21 2009, 04:57:44 UTC

"It's the curse," Tony explained, raising his voice just a bit to be heard over the din of surprised (and excited for a few) women.

"It kept people apart until midnight," he said. "And while I'm flattered that you all have some sort of romantic feelings for me, I'm a happily taken man. Now if you'll calmly exit the office and the building..."

Re: Action livingmyths August 21 2009, 05:01:46 UTC

No. Oh no. Rain 'heard' what was happening about the same time she recognized Romana and just before Tony spoke. She felt sick, horrified, and utterly humiliated.

All of which meant that before Tony had even finished speaking, she was fleeing, running as fast as she could, which was actually pretty damned fast.

All she could think about was running as far as she could and then hiding somewhere no one could find her.

Re: Action lady_wandering August 21 2009, 05:12:30 UTC

Romana barely had time to register that it really was Rain in the room before the girl ran out. It took her less than a second to realize why. She called out, hoping the girl would stop or at least slow before she ran into someone.

"Rain!"

Damnable curse, of course it would bring her here, poor thing.

Re: Action morethanasuit August 21 2009, 05:14:53 UTC

When Tony saw Rain run off, he got worried for her. The girl was prone to being overly emotional about things and assuming the worst. Tony reached out and squeezed Romana's hand, hoping she would understand, before he went after Rain.

"Rain!" he called out to her. "Wait up!"

Re: Action livingmyths August 21 2009, 05:19:53 UTC

Rain wasn't waiting for anyone or anything and especially not Tony. She was out of the building and bolting for the Library as fast as her feet would carry her.

There were lots of good hiding places there and the Library would take care of her.

Once inside she fled down the stairs into one of the darker, rarely used sections far in the back where she could slide under and behind one of the shelves. The Library obligingly filled in books around her to keep her out of sight.

Re: Action lady_wandering August 21 2009, 05:26:59 UTC

Romana watched Tony leave and hoped that Rain wouldn't be in too bad of shape when he caught up to her. Hoped that Rain would remain safe.

Meanwhile, she turned to the rest of the women in Tony's office.

"All of you? Out."

[ooc: and off to you two. have fun, don't break anything.]

Re: Action morethanasuit August 21 2009, 15:47:44 UTC

Tony followed Rain for a ways but it was apparent that she didn't want him anywhere near her. Sighing, he headed back up to his office. He hadn't known Rain felt that way about him but it didn't exactly surprise him. He wished though that she would let him tell her as far as he was concerned it didn't change anything.

Coming back to his office, he smiled at Romana.

"Oh good, I was hoping at least one of you stayed behind."

Re: Action lady_wandering August 21 2009, 22:25:06 UTC

She was sitting in Tony's chair waiting when he walked back in.

"Someone had to make sure all the others women left."

Romana looked past him, out the door, with a worried expression on her face.

"Rain shouldn't be wandering in the City, do you think she'll go somewhere safe?"
