Mark I - [action + video]

[gold_titanium_man]

(please refer to his third-person sample for what's happened immediately before this.)

[he woke up a second time. It was unexpected, but extremely welcome. He expected to feel little pieces of metal stabbing away at his heart since his arc reactor was missing. But strangely, he didn't feel any different than normal. Just groggy.

Deciding to take advantage of this reprieve from death's embrace, Tony flipped open the little communication's device and activated the video function. As an after thought he grabbed the little card]

So, this is a new one, kidnapped by insane cosplay enthusiasts? Your jokes can use some work, though. Really, the Tin Man? Is that the best you could come up with? What do ya want, anyways? Money? Weapons? My armor? I'll tell you where to shove it, but you won't listen until I have a better microphone.

And who is this... [he mouths Yaldabaoth, trying to figure out the pronunciation, gives up and continues] Who is this Yogi Bear character with a name that looks like it belongs to something Lovecraft invented? I'm not living with a tentacle monster, am I? [he looks really unsure about that]

Is there anyone who happens to know where I can get 1.5 grams of palladium and a few other odds and ends? [even though it was a bad design, he would be more comfortable with his Mark I reactor in his chest than a great gaping hole]

[eldestdaughter]

[Maybe he got it fixed or she was sent away to boarding school before she found out about it. Either way Sophie blushed slightly at his chastisement. Really, the enhancements that the island had made to her already cute looks made her almost radiant.]

I'm sorry, I'm Sophie Hatter.

[gold_titanium_man]

Tony Stark. [well her name was no where near Pepper's or his, so that was a relief, but he still didn't want to answer the question. So quick change the subject]

So, you said something about showing me around?

[eldestdaughter]

[She offered him a bright smile and nodded.]

This is the violet district. We're between the rose and navy district. I can take you to see the shopping district if you like. Everything runs on trading here.

[gold_titanium_man]

That sounds practical. [he nods in agreement] So which way?

[eldestdaughter]

[Oh thank heavens, a man of practicality. It would be a welcomed change to Howl's flights of fancy.It was easy to tell that the statement brightened her mood by the smile that pulled up the corners of her face and showed in her eyes.]

It's right this way.

[With that she headed in the direction of the rose district.]

[gold_titanium_man]

[he wasn't always practical, but he could be when the mood suited him.

He follows behind behind, looking at the buildings, especially when they change colors.]

The people who made this island have odd decorating taste.

[eldestdaughter]

[Sophie just shrugged.]

You get used to it after a bit.

[gold_titanium_man]

I rather not get used to it, sweetheart.

[eldestdaughter]

No one would, but for now it's all we can do.

[gold_titanium_man]

We'll have to see about that. [he nods, determined to shake things up around here]
