if you're gonna cheat me like that may as well go the full 4 candles, right?

[slingshots]

happy to take what i can get, here

[slingshots]

we're not immortal
just cool

[bloodspeaker]

COME NOW; THAT'S HARDLY CHEATING. BUT I COULD DO THAT, TOO.

THE MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION IS

WHAT KIND OF CAKE DO YOU EVEN PREFER

[slingshots]

guess i'm just popular
or maybe this place needed to think about 1297 candles on a cake just that bad

[slingshots]

cool
i'm a robin

[slingshots]

that's as good a reason for a party as i ever heard
some people aren't so lucky anyway

[slingshots]

challenge accepted

[slingshots]

sure, you don't seem like a murderer or anything

THIS IS WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT SUNGLASSES ARE STILL HIS THING i will edit this if not...

[slingshots]

those shades must be getting in the way

[slingshots]

figure everyone needs a hobby
what about here?

[slingshots]

what, you think it'd lie to a whole network [ so pointedly, here: ] publically?

[slingshots]

gee, dunno why not
you've had enough time for it

[kingside]

I haven't felt the need to recreate that lifestyle in Exsilium.

[solitaire]

Then you can have this one free.

[slingshots]

well sure here's to seriously hoping not
mostly i'm wondering what you felt the need for instead

[kingside]

In terms of hobbies? I tend to spend my time in the library. There are a lot of uncatalogued books.

[weapabilities]

It is. I have two cubes worth.

[ Drift finally apparently finds his bearings because he unfolds into his robot mode and crouches, extending a hand to Tony. A brief glance to Robin as if to as Is this right? We shake hands, right? ]

Nice to meet you, Mister Stark. I'm Drift.

I just want to know you're not going to use it to hurt anyone. It's a powerful substance with an array of uses and. And I don't want to see any weapons made from it. Not to say I expect it, but if I'm responsible for an incident, I know at least three mechs who would sell me for spare parts.

[ Sorry. The last time humans got their technology they used it to hunt and trap them. ]

[symmachy]

Other things have taken precedence.

[gevurah]

I figured.

So why "almost"?

[inafadingcrown]

Fortunately, I am a patient woman.

[ Tony finds all of this both hilarious and surreal as fuck, even while reaching out to shake Drift's hand, because, sure, why not, he'll shake his hand. That's totally normal. ]

You're in luck, actually, I'm a weapons genius - well, a genius anyway - but I don't make weapons at all. Only my armor. [ Which is a 'prosthesis', duh. ] I'm not gonna make anything life-threatening, I just want to learn to synthesize it and play with it a little.

[slingshots]

tell me about it
their music is so old

[slingshots]

my parents got distracted

[slingshots]

figure you'd have to be, with a year count like that
