-before sirens on the 6th-


Hi. [Why look, Siren's Port, this is one very annoyed person on your NV's today. All bruised and bumped and covered in grass stains. The norm of those who just fell through the sky. Again.] I'm Tony Stark. And for those of you who may not have noticed, we've been blatantly kidnapped. I've been told this is, uh, not something new, here? That some people have been living in the magical land of Stockholm Syndrome for years without actually realizing just how bad it is?

[His bullshit meter just hit so high it practically punched a hole through the stratosphere, guys]

I need three things. First, the nearest Starbucks and not whatever coffee equivalent Canada's pushing out. I will practically marry you if you can supply me with a coffee IV drip right now. Second, access to a computer for three days straight. And it cannot be some crappy brick from 1997 that still thinks Internet Explorer is too advanced to run up to speed. Third: information on any and all major businesses that have even the slightest interest in technology advancement.

[He reaches up a hand to rub two fingers against his temple, a headache more than just coming on.] Get to it, Port. And remember: Coffee. First.

Uh, yeah. No. You can't just get donuts first. There's a sacred order to the crap breakfast foods of America.

[D U H]

[czes]

[tsk tsk] Dunkin' Donuts has better coffee if you have to have that fancy crap, and it's way cheaper. And that's only if you don't have the balls for a cuppa from the corner diner or the 7-11. [He sighs as if to say kids these days.]

How addicted to caffeine do you have to be if that's the first thing you want, anyway? Most folks who turn up here are like... yelling and puking and stuff.

[aggravating]

I'm eighty six percent sure Starbucks puts something addicting in their coffee. Either that or its the seven pounds of sugar.

[He's been meaning to get around to testing the chemical make-up of it, actually. Might end up doing that, here. If he gets too bored.]

I work best with a wired mind and no sleep. Besides, caffeine beats the headache crashing face first into a field brings.

[czes]

[Wow, this guy talks like he does not need mor caffeine.] Just a headache? You're made of pretty stern stuff. Last time I came around I thought I was gonna puke for a weak.

You're not hurt, are you? Did you really crash land?

[aggravating]

Kind of gotten used to crashing into things. And the general nausea.

[A life time of binges, hangovers, and a few years crashing into buildings, mountains, and planes in the suit gets you pretty used to that kind of stuff.]

I'll be fine once I get a few pots of coffee. [SHRUG. Caffeine addicts need their fix and all that]

[czes]

Sounds like you lead a pretty exciting life.

--Or maybe just a really, really drunk one. [grin]

[aggravating]

[Yup, that's bringing out a grin]

Nice mix of both, actually.

[czes]

[laughing] Isn't that kind of thing kind of considered bad in this day and age?

[aggravating]

Not when you have the money to keep the party going for a week straight.

[czes]

Rich and excessive. The dream of the 21st Century for sure.

Don't you ever get bored of it after awhile?
