[ Anybody turning to the radio today for their weekly dose of Hard Harry will be sorely disappointed. Or not. Because the voice that greets Paradisa is definitely not some teenage radio jockey's. ]

Good evening, ladies and gents. Some of you may have noticed, but I am not your usual radio DJ. This is Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, and I'm afraid that I've hijacked the airwaves tonight. Turn off those radios if you'd like, but I'm just going to play this entire thing for the journal anyway, so you're really not getting away from me.

Also, the fact you even have a working radio tower? You're welcome. [ At least, he assumes he built it. ]

So, the question burning in everyone's minds... what's up this week? I think the one thing you should all know about is the fact that there's going to be some major remodeling in the city, starting this week. And by major remodeling, I mean that I'm going to be demolishing a priceless city landmark - one that I own, before anybody even says anything - and building a bigger, better building in its place. The Avengers Tower is going to become a permanent addition to the Paradisa skyline, and really? It's going to be a thousand times better than anything that anybody else here has ever built. Which is saying a lot, since I built and-slash-or designed a lot my last time here.

That? Pretty much all you need to know.

[ He pauses a moment, shuffling some papers. Notes? Who knows. ]

Now with that announcement out of the way, let me finish this up. If Tony Stark does something, he does it right.

It seems that your usual guy throws in some call-outs to the new residents. So let me just note that there haven't been any new residents this week. Shocking, I know. But good old Paradisa is keeping you on your toes, and it seems like some familiar faces are showing up in the city itself. And they think they've been there their entire lives. Creepy. Paradisa, you've outdone yourself. How about a round of applause for the malevolent, mind-altering, and all-around magnificent bastard of a castle?

Yeah, okay. Enough applause. Time for some real music.

[ And with that, he cues up the music.



Also forwarded to 10 PM, posting an hour early because dinner. ]

Dictated forever

[God Tony he really, really, really doesn't like you. As usual, it;s because you remind him far to much of himself. But that's a perfectly legitimate reason not to like someone as far as he's concerned]

Oh wonderful. Because if there's one thing a quaint little town needs, it's a giant tower blotting out the landscape. How lucky we all are that you're here to tend to these non-existent needs.

[builds]

Hey there, neighbor. How's the whole "holing myself up in my room and building needless traps to keep others out" routine working out for you?

[sexyhitchhiker]

[nope. She doesn't quite know how to deal with you, so this obviously means teenage apathy/sarcasm is the way to go. Even if she's technically no longer a teen.]

What, is the other guy on vacation?

[builds]

We'll run with that explanation.

action → forever

[quits]

[She just shakes he head at him, still going through some of the work orders she put in earlier.]

You are already making friends.

[builds]

[ He cuts the mic, content that the music will carry through the rest of the program. ]

Pepper, I'm the life of the party. Even when there isn't one.

[cheerupemoborg]

[Oh hey, an adult instead of a teenager. That's... mildly better!]

'Iron Man'?

Avengers. Is that a business of some kind?

[builds]

"Avengers." That would be an odd business name. What would we sell? [ Really, it almost sounds like weapons manufacturing - WHOOPS. ]

No. It's more of a... group. Or an agency.

An Earth's mightiest heroes sort of thing.

[valuedstrength]

Avengers Tower, huh? [A beat.] What happened to Mark?

dictated;

[builds]

That's right, an Avengers Tower. A home away from the castle, and a strategic headquarters for all of our... you know. Avenging.

As for Mark, I just stole the airwaves from him. He's fine. [ Actually he's on a loss. But Tony doesn't even know that. ]

dictated;

[persequor]

[ The voice coming through is a little duller than usual. Her trademark bite is gone. ]

You are truly building it?

dictated;

[builds]

Of course I am. I'm Tony Stark. I don't shy away from hard work, I don't make empty promises, and I build skyscrapers just to show the world that I can.

[silentrunning]

[Chell is confused as hell. But when he talks about a round of applause for the castle she...though she doesn't know what it's called.. golf claps, right above the journal, where it's easily enough heard. And then she writes.]

Yes... Wonderfuck has outdone itself. And hello.

[builds]

"Wonderfuck." Nice name. Has a ring of truth to it. [ Also sounds familiar. Vaguely. ]

Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss is still enjoying the medical wing's hospitality, so she's a little grumpy when she realizes she doesn't get to hear Mark. However...]

Hey. Iron Man. Nice tunes.

[A pause.]

... are you going to build other towers?

Dictated

[builds]

Thanks. Guess that means I really can quit my day job, then. [ Take THAT, Once-ler. ]

But no, not planning on any more towers. I'm not really a contractor. Design, maybe. Build? One's enough for me. [ Unless Pepper really wants one with her name on it. Sigh. Women. ]

[wield]

What, exactly, is an "Avenger Tower?" Is that what you are? A-An... An Avenger. [ Right. She could kind of see the ridiculousness of a title, now... ]

[builds]

That's right. I? Am an Avenger.

I fight evil, take down supernatural threats, and merchandise my own line of action figures. Not necessarily in that order.

[ He pauses a moment. ]

Okay, in that order.

[luthored]

[ No offense Mr. Stark but ]

Are you sure that won't just be an eye sore? It's one thing to move into town and do some renovating, but the modern city scape look doesn't really belong here.

[builds]

I think it won't be an eyesore. City officials say it won't be an eyesore. Guy I bought the land from says he's opening up a donut chain. Everybody wins, really.

[inmylight_commander]

You tower have room for a landing pad? [Here is Kat, suddenly thinking of all the contingency plans she could have with a Falcon housed in the city]

[builds]

Why wouldn't it have a landing pad?

[lord_wizard]

Well, that's unpleasant news. It's been theorized the townspeople were formally residents, you know. That could you someday...

And, may ask what the point of this tower of yours, exactly?

[builds]

Does there need to be a point?

[traken_master]

Well, it's a relief to hear that someone has something constructive to do. "Avengers." That has a nice ring to it. I rather approve of vengeance. I look forward to seeing this tower of yours.

[builds]

I'll do my best to make sure that you can't miss it, then.

[psych0p0mps]

wait people are reappearing like that again?
thats weird we havent even had a world change this time

[macgyverd_it]

Mr Stark I've read quite a bit about you in the journals, you seem to be something of a genius with robotics and engineering. I'd really appreciate it if I could schedule a meeting or talk to you some time when it's convenient.

So laaaate ;_;

[wizard_redfive]

[F U, Tony. She just got that music out of her head. Thanks a lot.]

Do you ever shut up?
