ᴏᴏ1 ( ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ/ᴛᴇxᴛ ) | ʙᴇʜᴏʟᴅ ᴍʏ ɢᴇɴɪᴜs.

[ good morning, asgard. you are greeted to a singular video, which shows a rather chaotic room in the odin housing unit. it has a desk shoved in the corner, covered in a bunch of spare parts of some cannibalized technology strewn all over the place. but in another corner of the room appears to be something that looks a bit like cooler with a solar panel on it.

tethered to it is a little roomba that has a blinking light, and seems to be attempting to vacuum the place, but is continually yanked backwards by the confines of its charge cord.

and then, once the video shows what it seems to show, a text is also sent out to the entire network, simply stating: ]

READ THIS BEFORE YOU ASK ME SOMETHING INCREDIBLY STUPID:

(1) It's a solar powered generator. It generates something called electricity, which can power things we call machines. It can hold a pretty hefty charge, but it isn't very powerful. I can maybe reboot a battery, and that's about it, until I expand my operation.

(2) No, you cannot have one.

(3) No, I am not building you one.

(4) I'll let you charge your cell phones if, and only if, you bring me any useful garbage you collected when it fell from the sky a few weeks ago.

(5) I don't do delivery.

(6) Don't show up at my door asking to use it. There's a sign-up sheet in the front hall of the library. Go put your name on it and sign up for a time slot.

(7) Seriously, if you show up at my door without an invite, I am revoking your cell phone privileges, and I will use your outdated trash heap you call a smart phone for parts.

(8) You're welcome.

[ what a charmer. ]

agreed

you won't need an appointment to stop by
i'm sure that you know which room is mine
i'll gather the junk i have for your inspection

[ oh boy. ]

He'll stop eating when he's done eating.

[ explaining a thing like a vacuum is something that he hadn't anticipated, but he should know better. a fool!!!! ]

I can show you how he works, if you want to come over. It's hard to explain without showing you.

[ he supposes he can bend his "sign up sheet" rule for the starks. ]

Does it look like it comes apart?

Challenge accepted on the cancer front.

And fighting for Dustin's honor is a futile effort in the face of certain victory.
Especially seeing as Dave is going to kick Dustin's ass in the new season of Robot Wars, which is absolutely going to become a thing the minute I can figure out how to attach a battle axe to a Roomba.

Sort of, except videos you can watch them back. It records them... so you can rewatch the conversation later. If you forget something, or if you want to keep track of something.

[ with a casual shrug. ]

And the best part about mechanical pets is that they don't feel pain; he won't feel a thing. No nervous system, no sentience. He's just a robot that does what he's told, for the most part.

[ . . . right. ]

So it's a cell phone, and the model is a Gummiphone? Like an iPhone, or an Android. Or whatever else people use in different parts of the universe.

[ ANYWAY. ]

I can figure it out, it doesn't matter. It'll charge.

It does what it needs to do. No more, no less.

[ you little shit. ]

Who are you, anyway? Haven't seen your face.

[ or he has, and tony just doesn't care. you know. forced indifference is the new black, or something. ]

I'm not a wizard, I'm a genius. Natural-made, without additives. Thanks for the compliment, though.

[ WHY ARE YOU THE WORST. ]

And I might be so inclined to make something useful for you, bu you have to ask nicely. And without the demeaning sass. This city isn't big enough for the both of us.

[ (: ]

Maybe. Entirely possible.
Read into it what you will.

And fair enough. I'm not sure if I can charge/connect anything new for your arm. I'd have to take it apart first to see how it works and I'm thinking you might need it.

If I'm wrong, though, I'll totally take it apart.

[ free of charge. :) ]

Is it a standard pocket watch?
Old fashioned?
Analog, not digital?

And if you have nothing to charge, then I don't know what else I can give you in return.
I might be able to fix something?
Not sure if you have anything worth fixing, either.

Yeah?
Don't leave me hanging.
What've you got?

Thanks...I guess.

[ Peter gives Tony a look because he can tell when he's being mocked, thank you very much. But given Tony's situation he won't be too contrary, he can understand the frustration. ]

Plenty of people I know behave like gods then.

[ Her eyes light up much like her phone does as it starts charging up. Her photos should be accessible once it's ready to go and she's trying hard not to freak out about how exciting it is. ]

So like, wind power and solar?

[ She's not well versed on eco-friendly power sources, but she knows those existed back home; just not in large quantities yet in her area. ]

Dude, people are totally gonna love what you can do. This city is a baby, still. Shouldn't even call it a city yet, really.

[ While she takes note that he's said "imprisoned," she doesn't question it. It's a known fact that a majority of people want to go home again, but even though she's not one of them, she has no plans to piss people off by taking delight in the fact that they have no way back yet. ]

It looks like there are screws, if that's what you mean.

[ Now, this is about the time she starts almost regretting knowing as much as she does about so many worlds. Too many differences in their stages of technological advancement, but she can hardly say relative to what? ]

It seems pretty old fashioned to me.
It's definitely not like what you have there.

[ Which, you know, could mean it wouldn't be any use, but Naminé's inclined to bow to his superior expertise on the subject. ]

There isn't anything that I want in return.
Whatever you're doing, it seems important.

[ Although she falters, a little hesitant to admit; ]

Besides
the only thing that I have that needs to be fixed IS the watch.

[ It took her a long time to figure out how to emphasize that properly. This girl really needs to discover itallics, but even if she did she wouldn't be sure when to use them. ]

I was hoping I'd find some way to do that but
I don't think I know anyone who could help.
So I thought it would be better if it were useful some other way, instead of me holding onto it just because I think it's pretty.

[Westeros doesn't even have electricity, vacuums are so new that Robb's mind is a little bit blown by this tiny little machine that can apparently eat dust. The future is so cool. He wants like, three.]

Will you mind if I came over without having gone to your sign-up sheet first? I don't plan to use him.

[In truth, he just wants to watch, for the sheer novelty of it. He has no idea how else is he supposed to look after a machine like this, or indeed if it even needs much looking after. Probably? If it goes to sleep without charging a lot?]

I'll just do that someday soon then.

No, I'm pretty sure it's not really something you just take apart. Also pretty sure it might be painful.

I haven’t actually gone to church since ma died.

[ except for Peggy’s funeral but don’t make him talk about that. ]

I was never very good at sitting there listening to a priest tell me why I was going to hell. Never really thought it was for them to decide. Our actions decide that, if that’s even a thing, and I don’t need to be in a building to talk to god. If I wanted to.

[ Steve makes a face at that. ]

Oh god. I really hope they don’t.

[ especially because he probably doesn’t support what they are spouting. ]

[ Rude. But probably true. ]

I can lift heavy things... [ Which sounds pathetic once it’s actually out of his mouth but, if you need that, Tony. He’s happy to help. ]

Why don’t you just ask one of them if they want windmills in their backyard? They might even be able to put them up for you.

I don't know how cute it would be with legs... maybe you could put the legs underneath like those sort of dogs whose fur is so long you can't see their legs, like a Yorkshire terrier!

Could I help in some way, Mr. Stark?

I don't know? That's just what Chip and Dale called it. The Gummiphone.

[Isn't an android supposed to be some kind of robot?]

Ah, great! Thanks!

[[so finn's ship is probably going to now be housed in a smith's shop???]]

It's in what was once a smithy's shop in Heimdall's district. Kind of hard to miss. But it's a "space ship" from my world, it'll probably be a different material than what you're used to working with.

[It's a TIE fighter from the First Order's armory.]

i mean you won't be pissing off any big pharma companies
hmmm maybe this isn't such a bad idea after all

time to prepare for pure anarchy
would asking the gods for tools to attach the aforementioned battle-axe to the roomba be possible?
i'm sure that's a thing they could manage

And humble too. I see I shall just have to stick around so that someone can keep you down to earth instead of inflating your ego even more.

[He really is the worst. Sorry, Tony. Only not sorry.]

Make me a better weapon then any I've seen before and I'll be very nice.

[Or just be kind to him. It's Ivar's biggest weakness.]

That might be true, but not all of them can hurl lightning bolts out of the sky.

[ thor is also much more than just thunder god, but tony keeps that sentimentality to himself. ]

He's a good guy. You're lucky enough to have him along.
