Mark I - ||video||

[the_mechanic]

[There's a close-up view of a well-manicured goatee, though there's a bit of blood around the lips, and as he adjusts the camera, it's plain to see that the clearly-attractive man has definitely been in a fight recently. Put mildly. And also that he's wearing some kind of metal armor suit thing, with the face-mask open.

He opens his mouth to speak, then closes it again. Twice. This is not a man accustomed to being at a loss for words.]

Please tell me there's someone in this sparkly-rainbow-nightmare than can get a full sentence out, with minimal KUPO, that can tell me what the hell is going on?

...please?

[The camera pans out just enough to show the komory bat perched on the top of the man's head, chittering away happily. Tony swipes at him half-heartedly, as if they've been through this a few times already, and the bat makes no motion to vacate his vantage point.

Tony looks pleadingly into the camera, and with a deep sigh, cuts the feed.]

Comments

[the_mechanic]

[Okay. That's definitely convenient.]

Well... let's check where it's at.

[Tony reaches out an arm, and motions with his hand, as if trying to call the suit toward himself. Which is exactly what he was trying to do. It doesn't budge, but he can hear that the machine is beginning to 'wake up'. Until he can get it somewhere safe, he's still not sure of the extent of the damage.]

Hmm. It's a good start. Uh, could you hit it again? And give it just a little more, please.

[Luna nods in assent. Now that she's assured herself she isn't going to fry the armor, the next bolt is considerably larger.]

[the_mechanic]

[Tony grins as the electricity crackles through the suit and as the steam rises, the eyes light up, as does the chest piece.]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Princess, I am in your debt.

[raisethemoon]

'Tis no trouble. A few lightning bolts, for one such as myself, is foal's play. [Nope not preening at all.]

[the_mechanic]

[Oh yeah, still grinning. Time to get back in the suit and see what the damage really is.]

Well, color me impressed, anyway.

It's been a pleasure, Princess. I'll be in touch; and seriously, if you find there's something I can do to repay you, just say the word.

[She basically just raised his baby from the dead, he's legitimately thankful, and serious about owing her.]

[raisethemoon]

Very well. I shall speak with thee later, Tony. Incidentally, if thou wishest to tend to thy injuries, thou canst doubtless get a room in the hotel. 'Tis never fully occupied, it seems. [No matter how many newcomers stay there. It's mildly baffling, but she hasn't deemed it worth concern.]
