[Well hello there, residents of this fine barge. What you'll find on your screens, is a rather tiffed redhead, looking only just a little like she might be trying to bite her tongue. Without actually puncturing herself.]

Hi- Hello. My name is Virginia Potts, and I've been asked to come and .. work on this ship. [It's only a partial lie. She'd sought it out herself.] That being said, I've come as a warden, and am here to help.

[There's a moment of hesitance, her mouth opening to continue. But then it shuts. ... And she tries again.]

Is there a Tony Stark on the barge?

Two months on the seventeenth. [He pauses, shifting just slightly to try and give her a bit comfier of a resting place.

Normally, he'd tease her. He'd feel uncomfortable. Try to lie down and sleep with her instead of just.. letting her prop herself up against him. But after what she'd said, with everything rolling around in his head...]

It's July ninth, now. And okay, fine. Bobbleheads are out. [He pauses, tapping his pen against the paper for a moment] Stark brand thongs?

[Such a gentleman. Letting her stay comfortable while he goes about his business. Even if ... the next suggestion is making her smile creep back onto her face. Briefly.

Should she?]

I have one of those. [Yes she should.]

[He manages to laugh at that, even if its a bit more subdued than it would have been otherwise.]

Seriously? I'm still paying for that one, aren't I? [He means favor-wise. He must have had to do a lot to get her to willingly put those on.]

Definitely still paying it off. [She's just as tiredly amused as he's coming across. Which isn't a lot, but it's something.]

You've met quite a few people while you've been here.

[Most people that had met him had even seemed .. alright with him. He hadn't caused any fusses, made any huge messes... It was almost odd.]

What can I say, I'm a people person.

[Can't you just feel the sarcasm hanging thick in the air? Can't you practically taste it? No?

... Yeah, he thought that was just him.]

It gets boring, I only have a set number of lab hours. Entertainment has to be found. [And thus he bugs people. And is forever weirded out that they seem more amused by it than anything]

[She hums a thoughtful noise.]

A lot of restrictions on the inmates, I guess. [Which sounds normal, ngl.] But I'm glad it's with people. You have a bad habit of secluding yourself, remember?

I'm working on getting JARVIS back, actually. And my sold folding bot is pretty much finished.

[AKA god he'd rather deal with AIs and bots. They're so much easier to deal with than people, Pepper. You have no idea.

No. Idea.]

Folding bot?

[That's curious. But hey, she's not a bot. Would you prefer she was? ... She kind of works like one, anyway. Except for the occasional cold.]

[Why would he want her to be a bot? She's soft and Peppery and... and Pepper.]

I needed something to do that can't be turned into some sort of psychotic weapon. It'll be like the chihuahua of helper bots.

[...A chihuahua of helper bots. Pepper is actually snickering and yes, she is quite Peppery and soft. She just .. you know, acts like a bot.]

I'm not sure if I should be more worried about you making tiny domesticated robots or the fact that there are people imprisoned here that could .. turn them into psychotic weapons.

Probably both.

[He turns, then, jostling her slightly, having worked himself out of the instant bite of betrayal at least long enough to at least kind of act normally.]

Did I tell you about the zombies, yet?

[Hey whoa, this is her room, be nice Tony. No bitterness in here, mkay.]

... Zombies. No, no you didn't tell me about any zombies- There are zombies? Why are there zombies?

[He'll be bitter all he wants okay. And nope. No longer your room, Pepper.

He's claiming half custody of this room, since he's pretty sure Pepper will be taking over his, too.]

Zombies, Pepper. Actual crawl out of the ground, glowing eyed, rotting skin zombies. Does it look like I know why there were zombies? I've honestly given up making sense of half of the crap around here, because it doesn't make sense.

It was a while ago, when we disembarked for a few days. Hasn't happened since then.

[Oh she knows his room is half hers and vice a versa. At least that's more than normal for her back in her timeline, by now.]

Disembarked? And then .. they were suddenly on the ship? [Is she turning a little green? Maybe. Just a little.]

[If she is doing her best lime imitation, he's totally not noticing]

What? No. The ship? Why would they be on the ship? They were in some crazy city attacking a building. I built a suit out of a Best Buy.

Edited 2012-07-26 09:59 (UTC)

I don't know, you made it sound like they were here on the ship, for god's sake. [YOU ARE SO JOURNAL-NAME, TONY. UGH.]

You built- Where is it now? [Oh wait.] ... You weren't allowed to keep it, were you?

[THAT'S JUST HOW HE WORKS, PEPPER]

Just vampires and werewolves on the ship, Pep. Zombies get left behind.

[He's just kind of giving her a look, pursing his lips and pinching his brow. Seriously? Seriously?]

People keep labeling it as a weapon. [... Yeah, he's an inmate. Pepper if you laugh at him because of that he swears...]
