[From the feed, it's clear Tony's not the one holding the camera and as a dramatic contrast to his first message, he was smiling brightly with an excitement only a new project can bring. Aaah, spring.

Anyway, he's standing in the entertainment district with one of the old abandoned businesses behind him with a sledgehammer in his hands.]

Good morning Havenwall! For those who don't know me, I'm Tony Stark and that...., is Mr. Petunia.

[He points and the camera moves to include Gladio standing a few feet behind him with his trademark easy-going grin and a large industrial broom resting over one shoulder. He rolls his eyes and gives the camera a friendly wave and, when Tony isn't looking, flips the idiot off playfully.]

Just kidding, you dandelion, that's Gladio Amicitia!

We're here in front of what will be the new Insomnia 2.0 bar!

[Brief pause for effect.]

We're looking for some volunteers for helping us remodel this place and possibly, if you're hot and we actually can stand you, working here once it opens. Just think, the faster this bad boy gets ready, the faster we can drink and eat greasy bar food!

[Is VERY amused and can't help laugh a little at Gladio making a rude gesture, though doesn't bring it to Tony's attention.]

I'm not sure how I can, but if there's any way I can help, don't hesitate to ask.

[ There are arched brows over round, earnest eyes peering into the screen. ]

A bar, huh.... I guess there are probably some demands a cat cafe can't meet, even in such a tiny population.

What kind of remodeling help do you need, exactly?

[Tony's grin couldn't have gotten bigger. He was SO proving having a hot girl on staff would sell drinks even if she just stood there reading the newspaper! IN YOUR FACE, GLADIO!]

Aerith! Yes! I'm asking! You gotta get your cute little butt over here.

[He looked back at the building and realized there was very little for an inexperienced person could do just yet. Well.. maybe, he could come up with something..]

Well, not necessarily right now, but I'd love you to come help when you have time.

And what are you going to do for liquor the other four days the café isn't open?

[He says this like this is actually an every day need someone may have, akin to toothpaste or toilet paper.]

Well I'm about to punch out a wall, but there's chocolate shit all over the place and rebuilding, rewiring, the plumbing needs updated, air filtration is a joke, and..

[He continues to list about twenty other structural problems but ending with-]

And someone needs to clean those windows.

I guess I didn't notice the liquor drought around here, not being old enough for it and all.

[ That was accompanied by a brief wry look, but she moved on quickly to the more interesting topic, tapping her lip. ]

I can make those windows shine for sure! And take care of the rest of the chocolate damage. As for the rebuilding... I'm not good for much besides grunt work, but I don't mind it! And if you need any painting or polishing, or curtains, or anything like that later, I'm pretty good at that kind of thing!

Bar food bar food!! [ greasy is so good!!!

however ] Sadly I don't think i can help, unless you think my acid can remold stuff.

Then you've been to self-centered to notice the horrible plight some people live with and you should be ashamed of yourself.

[He manages a straight face right until the end, when a smirk on his lips betrays him.]

That would be greatly appreciated. Would our thanks and pizza at the end of the day be enough?

[ Kyoko's sarcasm detection is admittedly not always the greatest, but this guy is too obvious to take seriously. She holds up a hand, pulling a solemn look. ]

Forgive me. It's always been my policy to stop thinking about drunkards the minute they're out of sight, so it can't be helped.

Oh-- [ Dropping the act, her eyes go a bit wide. ] --there'll be pizza? I haven't had that in--definitely more than a year!

[His smirk grows into a grin.]

Now I can't guarantee it'll be quite right because.. you know, replicators, but yeah? Interested?

[ She grins back, a touch sheepish. ]

I can't say pizza was ever a special favorite of mine or anything, but--any kind of novelty around here is a treat, you know? But I'm ready to help with or without it--it'll be a change from chasing around food bugs.

You can count me in. You two will need all the help you can get to make this ruin operational.

[He probably shoudn't... but then when did it ever stop him? Not even once. And now? Well, Fëanor has discovered food replicators. You'd think he'd appreciate them as clever invention, right? Wrong. He feels personally insulted by their very existence. This is not how you procure anything that's supposed to be edible.]

And you'd better put some actual food on the menu.

[Tony's amusement vanishes and he gives her a dirty look.]

First you rag on booze and now you're dissing and saying pizza isn't a favorite? What the hell's wrong with you, heathen?

[Hmm.. let him think about that a second.]

Want to try it? There's some rust on these pipes that we might be able to remove with the right density? It'd be good practice for you.

Duh, I put curly fries on the list already.

[Tony is really hoping you'll wear the chef's hat when he buys it for you.]

Remodel?

I can blow it up.

...

Name please?

[ Her head jerks back a bit, brow creasing. ]

What--lots of things aren't my favorites, but I'd still eat them happily! I was saying I'd work totally for free, you know!

Katsuki Bakugou. Or Dynamight if ya want.

[Grin.]

You're fun, kid. I'm just playing around with you. I'd appreciate any help you're willing to give and I'll tell you when the pizza will be served.

[ She pulls the tablet all the way out to arm's length, squinting, as if a different perspective will reveal this man's secrets. But ah... she's pretty sure she knows the drill with this kind of guy anyway. ]

Sorry, it's kinda been a while since I had to deal with older men making fun of me regularly.

[ She's completely deadpan, but not actually mad in any serious way. ]

Ah, how nostalgic.

Well, 'Dynamight', congrats. You're the first one banned from my bar. Also, I'm keeping this as evidence of arson threat number one. And lastly,..

[He leans a little closer to the camera and grins.]

I'm the real Superhero in town and if you come anywhere near my bar, my house, my friends, or look at me sideways and I will kick your ass so hard you're going to have 'Iron Man Made Me His Bitch' stamped to your tonsils. Got it?

[Tony chuckled. Yep, he liked her.]

What's your name, sweetie? Do you have a favorite pizza topping?

[What just happened.]

What the fuck? I was just offering to to remodel your shitty fucking bar that's probably gonna smell like grease, smoke and whatever the fuck else old men smell like for free! But if you got such a stick up your ass, it sounds like a shitty fucking place and I bet I could make a better bar in half the time it takes ya to put together a menu! Your tastebuds are probably dead by now.

And I'd love to see you Metal Man. Come at me any fucking time, anywhere, I'll even let you and Petunia tag-team me, but don't complain when you throw your hip out.

[ Mina is losing her shit, laughing nonstop. She is saving this whole exchange so she can laugh whenever she feels down ]

Oh-- [ She straightens, pulling the screen down to a more even level with her face. Manners! ] Kyoko Mogami! As for toppings...

[ She taps her lip again. ]

Something like mentaiko is probably out of the question... Peppers? Mushrooms? --No, I should think of the "bar food" theme--extra cheese and bacon!
