Video: CW: Language
[A disheveled middle aged man's face appears on the screen looking incredibly over it. Whatever 'it' is, he's been done with it since Friday and there's no end in sight. There's a large smear of chocolate running from just about his ear on his left side down his neck and along one side of a red hoodie he's wearing.]
Dammit! Damn this place and those creepy bears from god-knows-what! Where the hell am I? Voidtreckers, if you can hear me, my communicator isn't connecting me to the train!

[Tony's cut off as he spots another bear gang down the street and moves quickly to an alley out of sight.]
What is this place?

Re: [video]
[He chuckled at that.]
Usually, yes. One of the few things that make up for dealing with the canker sore that is other people is that opportunity to learn about who they are and judge them shamelessly for it. You should try it sometime.
But it's alright Cruella, you don't have to tell me. I'd be reluctant to tell people if my 'other matter' was skinning puppies too and putting on women's black, satin gowns. Your secret's safe with me.

[This is offered completely deadpan - he might be serious, but he might also be returning the sentiment.
...On the other hand, it also means the note of disapproval is gone from his voice, and it remains so as he continues on.]
Surely you have things you would prefer to not divulge? Still, I should be glad to regale you with, say, some of the finer details of life in Garlemald should it be simply details you were after.
[The reference to Cruella, on the other hand, goes completely over his head and rather than ask, he chooses to ignore it.]
Re: [video]
[He's actually impressed the guy is still talking to him. He would've picked this fellow for a scoff and a hang up by now. That sort of makes him more interesting. His tone is fairly neutral to warm given the other crap he's been saying.]
Is Garlemald where you're from? I would be interested if that's the case or, I don't know, a name? I could keep calling you Cruella, if you'd rather keep that a secret.
[Those jokes have an audience of only one person and it isn't you.]
[video]
[There's a shrug to go with the words, casual as anything, despite the implications lurking behind them. Implications that he absolutely ignores in favor of brief blink as if he's just remembered that he hadn't introduced himself. (He has not, but he feigns it well enough for the reaction to be believable.)]
Ah, but where are my manners? Solus zos Galvus. Among others. [He bows at that, a deep and swooping thing that is almost certainly more dramatic than it needs to be.] Architect of any of a number of Garlemald's recent technological advances.
Re: [video]
Tony Stark, nice to meet you Sully. Do you have any notes on some of your designs?
[video]
Why should I have?
[He doesn't need them, after all, and up until now hasn't given much thought to sharing the details of his designs.]
I certainly suppose I could draw some up. But you may have trouble with the fuel - it's something native to my world.
Re: [video]
I would have no trouble with understanding fuel from another world, you prick. However, you being your lovely, douchebag self is giving me a migraine and I've reached the end of my patience. Good luck with that stick up your ass.
[He also sees some more bears coming this way so, it was time to abandon this conversation.]
