Re: Tony Stark

[cactusy]

What percent of the public face you show to people is full of crap?

[in_extremis]

94.7, give or take a few cocktails.

[cactusy]

Okay. Which aspect of you is the genuine part?

[in_extremis]

I do believe in people, and the future. I'm never lying about that.

[cactusy]

What's the point in lying at all?

i decided this was important enough to ask multiple ppl

[daddy_longlegs]

Go to burger order? Pretend cost isn't an issue.

[in_extremis]

When is cost ever an issue? The perfect burger is the one the nice waitress says is her favourite, and you can ask her how she likes it.

[daddy_longlegs]

Not a bad answer. What if there's no cute waitress? No human interaction at all?

[in_extremis]

I can see what you're getting at, remove that variable and focus on the burger, but let me hit you with this: What's the point of anything without the human interaction? I don't think I care that much about what I'm eating.

[daddy_longlegs]

It's personal interaction. Food science. It's a beautiful thing.

[winsomelosesome]

Are you happy?

[in_extremis]

No. Maybe. I don't know if I can tell anymore.

[winsomelosesome]

What would make you happy?

[in_extremis]

You know that's a big question, we've got to make it a smaller one, you give it too much space and it's just going to be empty. In terms of instant gratification, in that moment, flying makes me happy. Fucking. There's actually a lot of crossover, you know, when I'm less in my head and more in my body, when I can hear my own heartbeat and I'm this machine that's alive.

[winsomelosesome]

I like big questions.

Flying is a special kind of happy, I get that one. And fucking.

I worry about you a lot.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Who's your favorite Avenger?

[in_extremis]

Captain America. Easy. Did you expect me to say anything else?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Not really, but I wanted the confirmation. I do want to know about him. The other one.

[in_extremis]

I'll tell you every day, if you need to hear it.

I don't know what there is to tell. You know him better than I do, until you don't.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Once is enough. And well, okay, why don't you tell me about what you two do on a day off?

[thepurpleone]

Would you adopt me.

[in_extremis]

In a heartbeat. We'd both regret it. You could at least make sure you were in my will, though.

[thepurpleone]

Oh. You're that sure it wouldn't work out? What's your net worth anyway?

[in_extremis]

Do you really think it would? I've screwed you up enough already, you'll have your head on backwards if you're also depending on me to feed you.

Depends on your metric. The armor I left at home, that one on its own cost seven billion dollars. Give or take a few transistors.
