[ When the feed click on, Tony manages to look annoyed and impressed all at once (you know, those emotions that he manages to bring out in other people pretty much all the time). He is sitting at a desk, the communicator propped up against something, and he has a small screwdriver (the micro kind) between his teeth as he speaks.]

So just how much shit am I going to get in if I try to take this apart and merge it with my Stark Phone? Not that I really care about how much shit I get in, but-- I mean, it is shiny new alien tech and you just gave it to me, you gotta know I'm gonna try taking it apart.

[ And figuring out ways to hack it. And make it better. And--

He takes the micro screwdriver out of his mouth and flashes a sharp smile.]

Also, as far as kidnappings go, this has gotta be one of the nicer ones, so no complaints here. Though I gotta know; anywhere I can get my hands on some more tools? Maybe a spare communicator, or three, or maybe an interface with the ship's core navigational systems...

[ That last one is said with only the slightest hint of 'I'm kidding' (because he isn't kidding, he is going to look for one no matter how much he has already been told 'NO', that's just like taunting him ok).]

Oh, and where might I find alcohol? Is that a thing in this section of space? I hope it is because I really don't want to try distilling my own shit again, that was a disaster the first three times and I really don't think I have managed to get better.

[amelioraate]

[ You might also be stopping a small explosion from happening, so really, you are doing well okay.]

Awesome, also, just Tony. I mean, you can call me Iron Man but like... yeah, Tony.

[canadese]

ah is this an alternate identity like in the ridiculous flimsy books that marco reads

[amelioraate]

Uh, yeah? I mean, it was supposed to keep who I was a secret, but let's be real, that lasted all of like... a hot minute.

...who's Marco?

[canadese]

that was meant to be a joke as the people in those books are named silly things like arachnid man i did not realize it was sometimes actually the case

marco is someone who reads ridiculous flimsy books where people are named silly things like arachnid man

[Says the alien whose name is borderline unpronounceable.]

[amelioraate]

... you know, I rather prefer Arachnid Man over Spider Man, I am so telling Miles to change his name to that. If I get back.

That... okay. Seems legit.

[canadese]

do you choose these names for yourselves

[amelioraate]

Some of us do? For the most part though it is the public that names us. Or the press.

[canadese]

then they cannot be considered your fault

my condolences

[amelioraate]

I would take offence to that, but you have a point.

Spider-Man is a shit name.

[canadese]

how does one come by the name iron man do you have abilities related to the properties of iron
