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.]

[Well, even with some bruises, it's still a nice face. But Tony probably already knows that.]

No, it's certainly not the worst, but it's unusual to arrive here in an injured state.

[the_mechanic]

[That may have come up in conversation once or twice, but clearly he still takes terrible care of it.

Ahh, okay. Well, wouldn't be the first time he didn't quite fit the norm.]

Huh. I guess that explains a lot of the concerns.

I'm fine, it's not a major injury. Just looks bad, I guess.

[Or multiple injuries, he's still not sure. Breathing only hurts mildly like fire. He's alive. He'll heal. The important things aren't broken.]

[hiptobe_eraqus]

Yes, it does a bit. You can purchase potions from the moogles if you have no problem finding one.

[Even if the unimportant things aren't broken, it's still pretty hard to function without them, and may need the help...]

[the_mechanic]

Right. I think I've got one in this bag of party favors, somewhere.

[He'll take it eventually, promise. Really. Rarity finally succeeds.]

[hiptobe_eraqus]

Then take that as soon as possible. Potions are designed to do the most good when used quickly.

[He is kind of doubting the guy is familiar with potions. It's pretty hard to resist Rarity's insisting, although Eraqus has been lucky enough to not encounter it personally...yet.]

[the_mechanic]

[Definitely unfamiliar, but he'll get over it and be a believer, for sure. It'll end up being one of the least-strange things about this place.

He kind of side-eyes at something off-screen.]

Yeah, the moodlet kind of said as much.

[hiptobe_eraqus]

I assume you mean moogle, but yes.

Do you have a place to stay yet?
