Starking Your Way Into Things

[withboxofscraps]

1. Gucun was alight with new ships coming in during the end of the crisis that had been on hand. While some of them carried supplies, one of them was a truly massive ship emblazoned with the words "Stark Industries" across it. Even before setting down, you could hear hard rock that pre-dated the Impact being blared over huge speakers embedded into

[And as the shockwave rushes past, Kaito can't help but stand there and take it, smirking as he does. Nothing worthwhile to take, but he can't help but wonder what else Mr. Stark has to offer.]

A man always looking to one-up himself in every shape imaginable. Nice showing, Mr. Stark.

And don't I know it. [he peered over at Kaitou with his glasses.] Hey you're that operator guy. The, what's it called, the GSX thing that I invested in months ago. Wait, no, G3-X. That's it.

How's that anti-whatever gun I made for you work out?

[brbtreasure]

Works like a charm, I have to admit. Granted, I've dealt with everything from Invaders to Percoliti to space pirates, so I have to say it works out.

Though, it's troubling that you don't even take the time to remember what you helped in...

I've got a lot of things worth working on, and while I forget the names of them, I always remember the projects. [Replied Tony flippantly, taking a drink.]

Want a drink? This is a celebration, an Expo. I didn't come all this way to Gucun for my health. To peace!

How strange of one man to deal in tools to both save and take human lives.

Re: 2

[withboxofscraps]

Clearly you've never noticed us before, since we usually worked with Neo-America.

[Tony lowered his sunglasses.] Madam President. You look well. Stark Industries prides itself on peace-keeping weaponry and medical advances. We've got our fingers in everything.

[nietzsche_waifu]

I had little interest in dealings of large corporations for most of my life. I do not know how economically viable is it to provide many different services with a shared goal in mind, rather than specializing in just one area. But the thought is commendable in itself.

Yun Li Kwan, mr Stark. I do not like official titles... especially since my husband is not technically a president.

[withboxofscraps]

Well then, Yun Li if I may say call you as such, I'm here to offer as much aid as you can carry. It's why of course I brought the mobile expo.

Even if we've got nothing of military need, we also have some of our older projects, all using repulsor technology of course. I even have the flying car stuck here somewhere. Perfect for quick getaways and avoiding traffic when you want a Dunkin Donut.

[And unimpressed Mira is unimpressed.] Really that the best you could make? I could do that with spare parts. [Okay not really, but really the whole thing isn't that impressive to a refugee/tech.

In fact the whole display had her bored, filing her nails with an Emory board that she stuffed back into the cuff-computer on her wrist.]

Doubt it can handle real targets.

Re: 1

[withboxofscraps]

[Tony raised an eyebrow as he took his drink from the cabinet and sipped it.] You'd be surprised. The inside of those are very much top tech. Top of the line too.

I deal in making this world a little more bearable to live on. Is it so much to ask for a little flash once in a while? In fact... [And he pulled out a little pad and started poking it and raised an eyebrow.] Mira Greson, White Chalice tech. You know you could probably adjust that bike of yours, it's running pretty slow for such a potentially valuable thing.

I do like your taste in music though.

[She rolled her eyes a little, since she had yet to snag a few moments to see if she could hack the systems to see how high tech...]

Yes because we all know how bigger weapons bring peace. And if that's a little flash... Hate to see what fireworks are for ya. [Though he called her by name. That made her glance at DK, all the passwords installed were unhackable, she had made sure of it... Okay he had some skill but...] No one touches the Cyclone. It's all I have left and I'm not letting some warmonger mess with it.

Even if they have good taste in music.

Re: 1

[withboxofscraps]

[Tony shrugged, taking another drink.] My other nickname goes unfounded I see. Been a while since I've been called a warmonger though. Merchant of Death maybe but hey, who's counting.

To be honest, I had a little falling out with El Presidente of Neo-America. Stopped my business cold. And since Stark Industries is only interested in the best interests of mankind, I'd rather keep him from using my weapons for his political gain.

Not saying you need to redo the Cyclone, although if you want to add a couple more things... [and he parsed a couple of schematics over] here, this is the unreleased model of the XL Cyclone that was developed and never put into production. I considered making one, just out of a hobby but I have so many cars, it makes it annoying to rebuild them from scratch when I'm bored.

Hayato's eyebrows raise slightly at the demonstration.

"Impressive."

Re: 1

[withboxofscraps]

[Stepping off his podium and taking his drink, he raised an eyebrow at the imposing man.]

I take it you're not one of the locals? [Drink time!]

[getter_class]

"Colonel Jin. I'm with the Chalice."

Hayato declines taking a drink of his own. He was more interested in the devastation left by the Jerusalem. "I might be interesting in getting a few of these."

[withboxofscraps]

You and several others. I can put you down for a couple at least, once Stark Industries moves its headquarters. We're still in mothballs since we left Neo America.

White Chalice... Jin. You're the guy with the Getter, right?

[Little kids? Well the Expo had some stuff for kids and--wait... Tilting his sunglasses down, Tony drained his drink and got another before sauntering over.]

See anything you like?

[infinite_prince]

Nope!

[withboxofscraps]

[Huh. Too casually. Aw well. None of his business really.]

Admittedly a lot of this stuff is from last year's expo. I haven't actually gotten around to replacing all of the stuff myself before I left Neo-America.
