Mark I ⊚ [Video for Bruce]

[Tony isn't looking at the screen but he's still for it facing him.]

Do you eat toast?

[arrogantalloy]

[It's something he's been told a lot.]

Then you won't mind donating it to me, then?

Video

[bigsoftie]

I do not if you can tell what you are using it for.

Video

[arrogantalloy]

Well, not making toast.

I'm repurposing most of it, trying to build a computer.

Video

[bigsoftie]

A computer?

[That's actually pretty impressive.]

Do you need help with it?

Video

[arrogantalloy]

I wouldn't mind some extra help looking for parts.

The rest however, like building, I'm all set.

Video

[bigsoftie]

I can help you with that...

What parts do you seek?

Video

[arrogantalloy]

Right now, anything electrical that no one's using.

And a sandwich.

'Chief green beast' doesn't have that much of a ring to it.

[Wryly. He's not entire comfortable with people mentioning the other guy so casually, but, well--this is Tony.]

video;

[arrogantalloy]

That's the great thing about being here. There aren't any focus groups to test how a name sounds.

Besides, with so many other mean greens about. Might as well claim the king of the mountain.

[amygdalae]

[Have a small snort, Tony.]

I'd rather not, thanks. [He's not some ape who needs to assert his dominance or whatever it is you're saying. He's perfectly fine where he is.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony just gives him a teasing smirk.]

Not one for being on top, huh? Well I guess, it can get boring.

video;

[amygdalae]

[Being on top is... painful, for Bruce. He was at the top before, in his own way, once believing to have the world on his fingertips - and look where his arrogance has led him to now. So its better, this way.]

Not for you though, it seems.

[arrogantalloy]

Being on top is all I know. All I do is find ways to make it interesting.

[After all, a Stark always acts like he's on top, even when he's far from it.]

video;

[amygdalae]

You do make it pretty interesting.

[It's not that all hard to see your face on the news, for many various reasons Bruce is sure he doesn't need to name.]

[arrogantalloy]

Even I surprise myself with what ended up on YouTube sometimes. But JARVIS liked to keep all my public appearances tracked.

I think I'm the only person I know with a computer who doubles as a disapproving nanny.

Video

[bigsoftie]

I shall try to find them...

...a sandwich?

Video

[arrogantalloy]

Computer building is hungry work.

Video

[bigsoftie]

...you remind me of my friends.

[Like if Donnie and Mikey had a horrible clonebaby.]

video;

[amygdalae]

I'm pretty sure there's nobody else who has a computer that can disapprove of your life choices.

[He doesn't really know JARVIS, per se, but he has read about him in some of the magazines he used to read back in the day. He's undeniably one of Tony's greatest creations, barring the arc reactor and the suits.]

Video

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony pauses, glances away from the screen then back again.]

Is this a good or a bad thing?

video;

[arrogantalloy]

Oh I'm sure someone else does, probably a few. The only difference is mine can actually sound annoyed about it.

[He smirks, thinking about the computer not being here is kind of lonely, but Dorumon is slowly starting to fall into the role of ignored nag.]

video;

[amygdalae]

It wouldn't be the same if it couldn't, I guess.

video;

[arrogantalloy]

Only if you look at objectively. Abstractly it's the same.

[Tony, why you gotta be obtuse sometimes.]

video;

[amygdalae]

[Because that's how he rolls.]

But it still makes enough of a difference.

video;

[arrogantalloy]

Well, I guess you have a point there, and with luck it'll stay that way.
