001 / serious business

Alright now.  Time for a few questions.  I don't want any of you making crap up on the spot.  Give me answers.

Who took my sword?  I had it just a second ago-now I don't.  Well?  Who took it?  Was it this 'Iron Man' bloke everybody keeps yapping about?

Has anyone seen a short, Japanese man wandering around?  He kind of looks like a fish if you squint hard enough and if none of you lot has my sword then he does.

And last, where the hell am I?  This isn't Odessa.

Oh dear god, they just keep showing up.

Welcome to the City, hero. Right? Okay. Not Odessa. I highly doubt anybody here has your sword, because we all have our own crap to deal with. Most probably you left it wherever you call home. And there's nobody here matching the description of fishface. Any other questions?

"They"?

So I got randomly pulled from where I was to this 'City'. I don't have my sword. Anything else that could possibly make my day any better?

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

Well, we're most probably being watched by a psychotic robot freak. Does that help?

[400yearsold.livejournal.com]

That just makes things about ten times as worse.

Who died and made you boss?

Knowing our luck, not Iron Man.

I don't know where I am and I want answers. It's as simple as that.

You're probably going to think I'm making things up on the spot, but I'll hazard a guess and say the sword didn't make it through the teleporter. I don't know if anyone's shown up in pairs before, but I can tell you that I haven't seen anyone matching that description. And I do NOT want to know how he looks like a fish

'Teleporter'?
...
Forget it. Where's the nearest bar?

[greenarrowtoo.livejournal.com]

There should be a minibar in your room. Otherwise, two blocks north of here.

[400yearsold.livejournal.com]

Fantastic.

Iron Man. He's like a man. Covered in iron. Just, y'know, to fill you in. I don't think he needs a sword.

[400yearsold.livejournal.com]

You're serious? I didn't think that he was actually covered in iron. It's just some sort of iron armor, right?

Why would I check a dumpster?

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's iron armor. Only times a thousand. His armor comes with boosters and firepower and the largest stick shoved up his ass that you'd never believe, dude.


You'd be amazed the stuff you'd find in dumpsters. At least, that's what I hear.

[400yearsold.livejournal.com]

Why the hell would someone want an armor with guns attached? It seems kind of stupid and pointless.

And I think I can find someone to contest Iron Man for the 'stick up the ass' prize.

What you hear. Right. Try that line on someone else, kid.

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Covered in iron, iron armor, what's the difference?

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Is that what you've been doing all day, Nix?

Iron Man is metalbutt. Metalbutt is in charge.

Waspinator has not seen sword. Waspinator will keep if it is a nice sword. Then lizardbot will not be so proud, with his spikey sword and his blue face!

[400yearsold.livejournal.com]

...metalbutt?

And I take it you're Waspinator?

What have I gotten into?

LAWL@ICON

[chewtoyoffate.livejournal.com]

And metalface.

How does squishy know Waspinator? Is Waspinator becoming famous?!

Isn't it glorious? x)

[400yearsold.livejournal.com]

That makes much more sense now.

Well, you said that 'Waspinator hasn't seen sword'. I don't know any other Waspinators and nobody by that name has introduced himself to me, so I just assumed it was you.

And I'm not 'squishy'.

God, the complementary toothpaste here really sucks...


Uh--sorry? Haven't exactly noticed any swords laying around the MAC. Who keeps burning popcorn on the ninth floor...?


...Why would you carry a sword around Odessa? Unless it was like, Russia-Odessa or some other one that's NOT Texas...

completely pointless threadjack? IS A GO.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with burnt popcorn, dude. Carbon is tasty.

wasn't me

I do enjoy 8)

[scarabsuited]

Better taste better than it smells, dude.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Imagine coffee. Only not as gross. Mixed with like -- oh I don't know -- the crispy bits on hamburgers.

Which okay, now that I write that out, makes it sound horrible.

Just trust me on this one, Blue. Burnt popcorn? Nom nom.

[400yearsold.livejournal.com]

Long story. Maybe I'll tell you later.

Actually...it was Texas.
