[ The Tower was almost complete. It was time to do some serious moving, then. He had a lot of lab equipment to be moved, not to mention suits. And the only good way to move all of that was with his own.

So today would see Tony Stark, donning his Iron Man suit, lugging around huge piece of machinery and the occasional other Iron Man suit from his room in the tower to the more modern one he was finishing up in the city. Smaller items he flew out from his room, but the larger stuff was packed up and dragged out through the lobby.

At one point, carrying a few workbenches over his shoulder, he pauses in the lobby, witty remark coming to him. And with Tony, he can't resist witty remarks. He has to share them.

He cracks open his journal. ]

All right. The first person to start up a U-haul company will have my immediate backing. Get it started in the next 30 minutes and I'll throw in a free pizza.

Because really, this is a pain in the ass.

[ Open over the journals or in person. Might run into him in the city, too, or at the Avengers Tower if your character happens to be in the area. ]

Okay, really, can somebody please explain to me what, exactly, this Feast thing is? Just a big fancy dinner for New Year's? Because everybody's talking about it and this is the first time I've heard of it.

Way to keep me out of the loop, guys. And I thought you were all my friends.

[ No kids ]

New Years coming up. You all know what that means.

That's right. Drinking!

Unfortunately, my loss is going to keep me from drinking on New Years and its Eve. So who's up for getting it out of the way tonight and tomorrow? All booze will be provided by Stark Industries, must be of legal drinking age in your home world to drink any - Stark Industries not liable for any accidents, injuries, or lost items or virginities.

But no, seriously, you should come by. It'll be fun.

[ Tony's got a few large New York style pizzas out in the lobby, content to munch on a slice while dictating into the journal. ]

All right. So we're all agreed that it's the nutcrackers, right? I have to ask, then- what exactly is wrong with mistletoe? Too generic? Or are nutcrackers supposed to be the hot make-out item in some alternate world? Because that's weird. I mean seriously, what would inspire that? "Hey, I see a nutcracker, let's make out."

Paradisa, you're going off the deep end.

I'm telling you, the sooner my tower is finished and I can move out of here, the better.

[ He pauses a moment, as if remembering something. ]

Oh, sorry. Pepper's tower, actually. I promised.

[ Open for kisses and shit. You know the drill. ]

[ 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. ]

[ There's some clanking over your journals, Paradisa. Sounds like someone's working on something. ]

Where do you want this?

Over there.

Got it.

[ The voices of Clint Barton and Tony Stark can be heard over the journals, along with some whirring, clanking, and general sounds of work going on with machinery.

Until there's a particularily violent whirr, a clang, a grunt, and the sound of something, someone, falling to the ground.

There's a clatter of tools and some hurried footsteps. And then silence for a few moments... ]

....Well, that's it. I think I have to donate you to a college now.

[ And there's an almost keening, sad, mechanical whine before Tony notices the journal. ]

So. Gonna need some help. I've got a downed wingman here.

[ ooc: backdated to just before the plot, Tony's robotic arm thing KOed an Avenger, etc. ]

[ Who's the one stuck in bed thanks to wishitis?

If you guessed Tony Stark, you get a gold star.

He'll open up his journal and dictate into it absently. ]

All right. Whatever it is that's going around, I hate it. Officially.

It's a weekend and I can't even get properly drunk because I'm too doped up on medication. Medication that isn't doing jack shit.

Castle? Give me some more medicine.

[ Some appears, but it triggers an even worse headache. fffffuuuuuu- ]

...So that's what this is about? All right. All right, castle I get it. Too many wishes. Do you accept returns? You can take it all back. I'll even accept a partial refund.

builds

[ It's a nice day to do some forging, amirite?

Which is why Tony's finally holding his first class. He usually likes to have a drink or two before teaching anything, but what with his loss and all, that's not seeming very likely.

So instead, he's just going to go through some basic metalworking techniques. No missiles for his class, but he knows more than enough about forging to get by for their usual stuff.

After he gets his class started, he's going to pull out his journal and make some comments. ]

All right. Tony Stark reporting in, here, with some... news. And stuff.

The Arena? That's closed. I don't know why, but that means if you want to practice your no-doubt stellar swordsmanship [ sarcasm go ] you're going to have to find somewhere new to do it. I personally recommend not practicing in your cabins, because blood is really hard to clean out of sheets.

Second, since it seems like you're supposed to make your own chariots for this race, you can come by and use the facilities here to work on it. I'm perfectly fine with it. In fact, if you're nice and say "please," I might even throw in some input on your design. Because, let's face it, you're about two-hundred percent likelier to win if your design is Stark-approved.

Aaaaand lastly. A question. Well, more like a request. I'm not good at asking for help, so. Yeah.

There's this lady. Good-looking, red hair. Goes by Pepper Potts, but her real name is Virginia. Hey, look, I know people named after states, too. Anyway, I haven't seen her around. Does anybody know what cabin she's in, and why she's been avoiding me? Thanks. You're all pals... Except Robin Hood. You're more like an annoying coworker.

[ Robin Hood ]

Please don't shoot me.

[ Open in person, at his class, or over the journal. ~~SECTIONS GOING UP THOUGH~~. Okay I think that's ever relevant section. :|a ]

All right, first things first... Huh, would you look at that? This really is writing down whatever I say. That's neat. Kind of looks like my handwriting, too.

...Where was I? Right. First things.

Impetus Tower was a ridiculous name, so I took the liberty of renaming it to the Stark Tower.

Still working on changing the name at the entrance. Castle doesn't seem to like it, keeps changing it back. Heard it was sentient, didn't hear it was stubborn. [ But that's okay, Tony is more stubborn. ]

Second, there was a flood of condoms out of the tower. I'm just going to come out and say it, because I know somebody out there was thinking it; that was not my fault. Came out of a young lady's room, in fact. Not going to ask why - it's none of my business - but I'd recommend a little more discretion next time.

Third, I've had problems sleeping lately. Is this possibly related to my "loss?" Because I work long nights, I need to be able to get my sleep in the morning. Might need to try sleeping pills next. Doctors and medical types? Hook me up.

[ Every resident of Paradisa with a working radio will suddenly find themselves rocking out to this number.

Just as the song finishes, BAM. Anybody out in the courtyard will see a red and gold power suit landing just outside the main entrance.

It's seen better days, that's for sure. Banged up, dented, scorched… are those laser burns? Either way, it looks warily around until speaking. He's talking through the radio, but an open journal on his person dictates his words through the journal as well. ]

I'm sure I don't have to tell you why this is a fantastically bad idea. I mean, really? Kidnapping me while I'm still in my armor? After I just used it to fight off an alien invasion?

There are bad ideas, and then there's this. On a scale of bad ideas, this one sets the new extreme.

So whoever did this? Consider undoing it.

[ There's a pause, and then he feels the need to add- ]

But hey, nice castle. Very stylish. A little old-fashioned for my tastes. Still beats the last time I was kidnapped, that's for sure.

Oh, and one last thing. Is there a shawarma place around here? I'm starving, and I was really looking forward to it. Really, you have no idea.

This is Iron Man. Out.
