[ it's cool, tony only doesn't sound hysterical himself through sheer practice.
he doesn't even really know how to stay politic right now, and no one is stopping him. ] I don't even... I don't know who you are. [ well okay, normally he's sightly better than that. [ Sorry, I know, like. I know some people. [ There is quite a long pause here. Long enough that you have to stop and think about what came before it, but now so much that you can't figure it out. [ His attention is entirely about the immune and their abilities.
We'll catch up. Your name is Ned? How do I know you're my ned?
[ ned's good with the lack of dressing on what tony says. he's actually why he likes tony. not to mention he's no good at awkward social interaction like this himself. ] Because you're my-- [ tony? that sounds weird. uh. ] Tony...
[ yep. weirdddd. abort. ] I'm a pie maker. My name is Ned. There's not really much else to know.
video. wow jesus i'm sorry about all the coding on that last one
Okay. [ people are puzzles. he didn't really think of it like that but it doesn't surprise him that tony does. ] But first, give me a landmark.
[ he's staring at the light panel in the elevator nervously, hoping he can find tony soon. ]
Is it weird that I have to get used to you having both eyes? I mean, you had this awesome bionic one for the one you missed, but... [ how does ned talk about himself even. ] I make things too, sometimes. Uh. Invent things.
Nowhere near as cool as the stuff you make. [ a bit of a lopsided smile. ] Who else have you met on board?
video. my creys. creys forever. the second flood, &c.
[ Tony looks to be glancing around, but his eyes aren't really... They're not unfocused, but. He laughs a little, and it definitely sounds weird. ] I'm new still. I think that's a fire extinguisher. Maybe not, I don't know. [ You probably shouldn't find him, Ned. You're not really supposed to find him. He doesn't know why he sent this to you in the first place. ]
Bionic, yeah, I've heard about that. I'd be jealous of myself but. I'd lose an eye. 'An eye for an eye.' [ Somewhat anxious chuckling again. ] That'd be terrible. Seriously, like. That would suck. I'm glad things don't work like that. [ But he rouses himself easily enough; looks different when he looks back at the video proper. ] You invent stuff? Like what?
Uhh. I've been reading. Pepper. Jondrette. Cortana, that other guy. Uh. Nathan. I still need to meet Peter. Pepper said she'd talk to people before I did, said it would be easier that way. For them.
She didn't tell me. [ he doesn't mean to say it. he's not hurt or upset with her -- it's better this way. like a really great surprise. ned usually hated surprises but this, this was a good one. ] Peter who?
[ he's stepping off at a random level, looking around before getting back on. he can't just wander down corridors, he knows what happens to people who do that. ]
I know Nathan. And Cortana is -- blue, right? [ he laughs too, shaking his head. ] I invent stuff like, um. It's... It's weird. It's probably easier if I just show you. Or--
[ he plans on telling tony this time. he knows he can handle it, but timing was never his strong suit. ]
You really didn't strike me as a Hammurabi kind of guy, no.
[ even though the conversation is terribly disjointed, he really wouldn't have it any other way. ] You know I can't-- I mean. Among us, you're definitely the tech man. I mean, among anyone, you're-- but I'm really... There's probably a way to text me your coordinates...?
