Mk 1: "The Morning After All The Mornings After"

[thecoolexec]

A | Action | Cunningham Lane | Open To All

There were no models sleeping by Tony's left side when he woke up in bed that morning. Even worse: there were no models on his right side. There was A Woman lying next to him, which at first placated him, until he realized he could have done better. Probably. Then he was just disappointed in himself.

[On his way off to work, walking down the street, and kind of stops and stares at the half nekkid man in the snow.] Y'know, it's kind of cold out here for that. [Puff puff smoke]

[Tony can't argue with that logic. He buttons up.]

Okay. Answers. Now.

[smoking_gunner]

I don't have a lot. I just got here the other day. But it's like some freaky alternate universe that doesn't let women buy guns or wear pants. [Best summary.]

Re: A

[thecoolexec]

So I've been abducted by Mormons.
This is just... the worst kind of hell.

Re: A

[smoking_gunner]

I don't know what that is, but, I guess. My boss lives over there. [Points at Mustang's house.] He's been here a while, so he might have better answers.

Re: A

[thecoolexec]

Yeah? It's a start. Who is he?

Re: A

[smoking_gunner]

Roy Mustang, my former Colonel. If you want I could head over there with you.

Re: A

[thecoolexec]

Colonel? Hm. More military types. I don't have a great track record with those guys.
[In response, Tony just starts walking over there. Almost as an after thought, he blinks and walks back to Jean.]

Who are you, again?

Re: A

[smoking_gunner]

Jean Havoc. [Handshake?] And you are?

Re: A

[thecoolexec]

I'm... Tony Stark. Can you wait here a second?

[He power walks back up his front steps and into his house, not giving Jean a chance to answer.]

Re: A

[smoking_gunner]

Uh-- okay [Waits, because, well, he's not a dick. And it doesn't much matter if he's late for work.]

Re: A

[thecoolexec]

[Tony comes back out, now dressed in an era-appropriate suit, no tie. He looks much more comfortable.]

Right. Let's get a move-on.

Re: A

[smoking_gunner]

[Leads him over to Roy's! He's not too worried about whether this guy is trustworthy or not, since he just got here, if he's a freak, he doesn't have any of his freakishness yet. Knock knock Roy.]

Re: A

[thecoolexec]

[Tony waits expectantly a few steps behind Jean, plucking at some lint on his suit.]

In a suit like this, I should be selling cigarettes to kids...

Sorry I'm late guys

[canhasfuhrer]

[And a few moments later, one Roy Mustang answers the door, looking between the two men]

To what do I owe this visit, gentlemen?

Re: Sorry I'm late guys

[smoking_gunner]

We've got another new neighbor. [Jabs his thumb over his shoulder at Tony.] He's got questions and I don't have any answers. [Shrug. You don't keep him around for his brain, Colonel.]
