℗ oo1. an elevator teeming with confusion

[quits]

[There's a redhead in the elevator. Barefoot and standing there wondering when ...]

Phil...? [She turns to look at Phil, but he's not there and the floors have definitely been reduced and renumbered. Plus, the elevator has changed and there's a book on the floor.]

Well, that's not right. [She goes to press the button for the lobby. The doors open and - oh. Nope.]

Clearly, something has gone wrong. Tony? [Where is the call box?] Okay, it's funny, but really what's going on? Is this payback for the elevator thing, because you know that wasn't really my fault. [Seriously. Where is the penthouse button on this thing and how did he manage to build an entire floor that looks like a castle without her remembering it?]



((ooc: step onto the elevator! talk to her through the journal on the floor! All she wants to say is FIRST to Tony!))

[He rushes to the elevator; if he doesn't make it, he'll have to take the stairs. And that's just not fun if you have someone else to do it for you.]

Hold it hold it hold it!

[quits]

[She was just about to be curious and step off of it, when someone told her to hold it, so that's what she's doing. Her hand goes out to stop the doors from shutting and she offers a smile.]

[mrbigshotarrow]

Thanks. I'm not in the mood to climb those stairs. [Roy laughs, leaning against the wall.]

Just call me lazy. But you can call me Roy. [He winks.]

[quits]

[She smiles, shaking her head to dismiss the wink a bit.]

Pepper Potts.

[mrbigshotarrow]

Pepper Pots. That's a pretty nice name, I bet it looks great on monogrammed towels. [He grins.]

Did you just get here?

[quits]

[Yes, nothing looks quite so stunning as PP on towels...]

Relatively speaking, yes.

[mrbigshotarrow]

[Hence why he said it.]

Tough transition, right? I showed up here looking for my daughter, I thought I'd lost her for a minute there.

[quits]

[Hold on...]

You showed up here... in order to find your daughter?

[mrbigshotarrow]

Well, not really, I don't know if it works like that. Lian said that she wished that I was here with her, and since I'm here now... we're all learning.

[quits]

Who's Lian?

[mrbigshotarrow]

She's my daughter. [He grins, pulling out his wallet and showing her a picture.]

Isn't she cute?

[quits]

[She looks at the photo and smiles.]

She's cute, yes.

[mrbigshotarrow]

Yeah, she is. [He smiles down at the picture fondly.]

She showed up here a few days before me. Apparently we were both here before, but neither of us remembers it.

[quits]

That must be unsettling. [Pepper has been told the same thing, but she's not sure she's buying it just yet.]
