Iron Man
I am really looking forward to the release of Iron Man. It's one of the first movies in a long time that I am eagerly going to get out to the theaters to see.
I remember one of the guys in the office (I've mentioned him before - the slacker who just lost his assistant and gained half an assistant) screamed from his office for all of us to get in there. He's all bouncing in his seat and going nuts. We all crowd in wondering who slipped crack into his water when he hits play and we see the Iron Man trailer (see above). Everyone was honestly impressed. So for months I have been waiting for this movie and it's nearly time! Woohoo! ::happy kitty dance::

Ooooh, and I KNOW I heard Ozzy towards the end too... 'I am Iron Man!'
I know! I'm looking forward to a kick butt action flick with nice snarky lines and a killer soundtrack. Oh, yeah Bay-Be!
Honestly, Iron Man was never my favorite comic character. Just about any of the X-Men rated miles above for me. Fantastic 4 was a good number two...
Hey, I know what you mean. X Men before anything. But this teaser was TOO GOOD and now I'm a drooling fool waiting to see this. ::whimpers::
Me want Iron Man! Gimme! Now!
I'll prolly watch it, but I doubt I'll buy the DVD when that time comes. Probably rent it... once... We'll see.
Me want! Me want! It looks wicked cool! I love power armor!!!!!
Coo! Coo! PURRRRRRR!!!!!!
Rich character, broken, raising as a hero... in power armor....
::Hands Kiri a bib::
You're needing this now...
::Hands Kiri a rag::
You're needing this too!
Thanks. ::dries off::
That's better. ::thinks about the movie - stuffs rag in her own mouth::
Murph... fee... mmoofffeeeee
Tony Stark rocks! I always liked Iron Man..yeah, Xmen were higher on the totem pole, but not by much. They had cool powers and great charecters, but Tony had that handsome brooding millionaire quality..yummm!
And ShadowRider strikes again! ;o)
Broody billionaire, eh? Say, didn't we have Batman for that? Okay, fine! There can be two, but there's gonna be a whole lot of brooding, that way.
That's fine. Tony's more of a brooding/drunk billionaire. Bruce is a brooding/broken millionaire. I'll take Tony. :-D Even in the stories were he's crippled.
Gimme!
::Raises hands in submission::
Heck, take him. He's all yours! Pesky hero-type that he is...
::Walks off muttering::
Yes, but we want to rule the world without the usual death, murder, worship or suffer. We want to rule the world to AVOID all that. Shiny, happy people everywhere...
Er... right?
And... the armor... ::Coos while petting the armor:: Think he'll let me play with it?
Of course they'll be happy. We'll be in charge, what's not to be happy about?
::Shuffles off to check on the mind control drug, happily brewing in her lab::
Oh, nice. Tony! Get into the armor! Why? Why, sweet boy... So I can strip it off of you.
::wicked grin::
Have fun Witchy. I'll be back after my daily workout. HEEL TONY!
Better you than me, is all I'm saying...
::Stirs counterclockwise in the cauldron::
Mmm, yes... Just let it simmer for a good seven hours, then it'll be close to perfect...
::four goon wander in and mutter nerviously about power armor, sex-crazed bosses and monsters in the sewer::
::one points to Witchy::
See? I told you, she's the normal one. Mind-control drugs and discipline.
::the group nod and wander off talking about making sure they work YOUR side of the base::
Ooooh, were they cute?
::Dashes out to have a look-see::
Naturally, they were the smart ones. The other goons are just working, whistling and waiting for their shift to end. See? That one is even playing fetch the uncovered spy with Blobby.
"Good catch, Blobby. Now try not to smother him while bringing him back to the nice guard."
Can't question him if he's dead.
::stops::
A machine to read the fading electrical energy of a brain and save the memories as files! Brilliant!
::Kiri runs off to her lab, much hammering ensues::
Let's take a page out of Stargate's book, save to crystals! That way, we can get the whole mind, personality included. In case we lose one of our own and need to pour his mind back into a cloned body!
Oh! ::head pops up over a massive device:: Even better, we could record the mind of an enemy, torture him to death, dump his memories into a new body for him and torture him some more.
Teehee... Or we could clone lots of cuties, give 'em all their memories and have numerous copies of a single hottie around at all times.
Or what you said and bring back the few useful minions we have.
The latter! Cloning an enemy's body and downloading his mind back into a new body, is begging for trouble. Sooner or later, someone gets careless and he'll be on the loose causing trouble again. Nah, no reviving an enemy! Loads of identical cuties, I'm on board with that too, but mainly to make sure our useful minions don't stay dead!
K, starting a list of useful minions to back-up.
Um, well... Blobby likes that one playing fetch with him. Ok, he stays.
Um... the four smart cute ones get on the "rescue me" list.
Um... drawin' a blank here, Witchy.
Naturally we are backed up.
Well, the dragon keepers need to be backed up, it's hell on my hair and nails training dragon keepers. they keep annoying the poor darlings who in turn makes crispy critters out of 'em... I get some of the back-draft at times, no fun!
Right, dragon-tamers. The guy who makes the morning coffee and brings in the fresh baked stuff, he's a keeper. Oh, and the girl who bakes the cheesecake brownies. Her too.
Well, duh?
Coffee... Check!
Cheesecake brownies... Check!
Dragon keepers... Check!
Cute, sane guys working my side of the base... Check!
Tony... eh... umm... Fine, Check!
Hey, now. He gets checked for sure. Who else is smart enough to help me build power armor? Form-fitting power armor for our elite cadre of buff defenders.
::long pause::
Is it warm in here?
What? He's checked, what more do you want? Don't answer that, I really don't need to know...
... And no, it's not warm in here...
You sure?
::wanders off talking about combining a cool shower with washing the armor::
Well, my cauldron is a little more than warm, but not so much you'd feel it in the hallway...
Ah, the cauldron... right... of course... that mind controlling drug isn't corrosive, is it?
::whsipers to Tony:: You stay out of there just to be safe.
Yep, Witchy here does the hokus-pokus stuff and I handle the modern science stuff. Not much difference except I can buy parts at Best Buy and Circuit City and she needs to go shopping in... er... where do they sell the stuff in your collection?
::glancing around at the motley collection of herbs, gels, pickled parts, dried bits, and other bubbling things::
Hey!
::Bats Kiri's grubby hands away::
That's a trade secret, and if you don't put that herb down, your hand will turn into a neon pink claw... think, lobster!
::quickly and carefully puts that one back::
Got anything like disinfectant around? ::eyes her hand nervously::
Clean cold water, let it rinse over and you'll be fine. Don't think you held it long enough to absorb through the skin, usually takes a few minutes, not seconds!
O-ok. I'll just go wash my hand... in cold water... for a while... um... right, commencing "staying out of Witchy lab" immediately.
It's not all dangerous, some is harmless. You just need to ask what something is before grabbing it, okay?
Right, and hope it doesn't reach for me first.
K, at least in my lab the only sentient things are: me, my assistants and the AntroPCs and Antro-iPods.
::Kiri jerks to a stop as Tony stops walking::
Oh! Oh! And er... of course... the brilliant technically sauvy, leading-edge... er... reseacher... genius... type... guys... er.. guy... man... him! ::Kiri points at angry Tony::
::Kiri squeals as Tony throws her over a shoulder and storms off into the lab muttering above female dictators and mega-egos and 'pacification-efforts'::
Don't hold dinner for me!
::lab doors close with a heavy thunk::
Ye Gawds, I won't! But you'd better teach him his place soon, or I'll have to do it for you!
::muted from behind the lab doors::
I kinda like it! Big strong guy throwing me over a shoulder. Woohoo!
What's next? Scientific lectures on the impracticality of using monsters to guard your base or a martial arts lesson?
::banging ensues::
Or making me work on my own damn power armor.... ::sigh::
You can't blame anyone but yourself, y'know. You wanted him, now deal with it!
Well, Bruce was brooding, wounded, but more than a bit psycho..not that it's a bad thing..
Tony now, handsome, check, rich, check, has some flaws that guilt him out and make him easier to control-err relate to, check, willing to spend some bucks to make a girl happy, check!
As for what's going on in the lab down the hall,
La la la..I can't hear you. *fingers in ears, walking away rapidly*
::Tony runs around the corner... eyes you nervously as he races past::
Please don't give her another can of that stuff!
::Tony dives into lab, frantically trying to get into his airtight armor before Kiri reaches him::
::Kiri rounds corner - panting::
Gotta... work... out... more...
::sees Tony half in the armor::
F-fuck... He wins this round...
Sorry ShadowRider... thankfully Tony missed you as he ran passed.
So... you approve? Nice!
I'm stocking up on the spray. Tony can go spit for all I care. You want more, I'll give you more. But for Pete's sake, hit him in the morning, before his eyes open and see the damn can. It's enough that he breathes it in, it does not need to get into his eyes, they'll only get bloodshot anyways...
::Waves at ShadowRider::
Hiya, almost didn't see you there. Welcome to the madhouse that is our compound...
::Waves hand around::
And this is it, the lot, no surprises here, no sirree! Ehm, Ma'am!
Oh, ShadowRider's ok. Just leave her and hers out of our plans for world domination and she'll happily come help mail out flyers or organize bake-sales... for a cut of the profits of course.
And that's why he kept rubbing his eyes. Right, right. Before he wakes up... or maybe while he's in the shower? Sneak in... quick spray while he's shampooing... blammo... MINE.
::stops from evil cackling:: Pfffuhhh! That was close.
Tony? Open up! ::taps on armor, which is standing there... arms crossed giving her the 'oh hell no' look':: Come on! Dinner!
Really, what? Spray of obedience?
Oh, don't mope. You like it. Come on. One little spray?
::big explosion from Kiri's lab::
Smoke-billows out leaving a mostly wrecked lab... lots of burn damage and on soot-covered Kiri...
Cough... Cough... Right, back to work. Got it.
::under her breath:: And when you sleep, buy are you gonna get it....
What was that?
Forearm actuator set connects to the elbow actuator-thingies... Elbow actuator-thingies connect to the upper arm actuator piece.
Good evil temptress, you keep working and I'll stay in my armor. Can't stop Witchy from hexing me but I can stop you from molesting me without earning it.
Molest? Did you say "molest me"? ::Kiri staring at him with big eager puppy-eyes::
Good god woman.
::Stage whispers to Kiri::
It'll work just as well if you spray him while he's sleeping. If you'd bothered to read the label you'd see it violet on black, fer cripe's sake.
Oh, wouldn't dream of ShadowRider not being included, with us, not the other ones, mind you...
LOL - Cool. If only I could pin him down long enough to get a hit of it into his air tank.
Silly boy'll probably sleep in that armor to avoid the spray. Hmmm... He has to pee sometime...
And again with the visuals, I'm gonna go scrub my eyes with bleach now... and my brain!
Now you know how I felt earlier.
Honestly, you'd figure he'd have built in an 'escape' hatch for that sort of emergency. ::snickers::
"I heard that!" Tony from down the hall.
