video.

[Stark has his good days and he has his bad days. Today is one of the bad days.]

[Stark is emptying his pockets and haphazardly tosses his communicator down on the dresser. It's upside down, but the video feed is triggered on. He's humming, occasionally a slurred word here and there slips out. But there's one word that he avoids saying and even seems to pause in his humming over: Alice.]

[He stumbles over to the bed and flops down on it with next to no grace even for him. He keeps a hand on her pillow, but otherwise stays away from it. Even in his drunken stupor, it's like there's a barrier between him and that side of the bed.]

[Today is a bad day, but this is the best he's felt all day. Maybe in a long while. (Or rather since the last time he got this drunk.) The angel in his head has shut up, he's too drunk to care about much of anything. He knows that doesn't say much about him. But you know what? He's fine with that. He gropes around for another bottle to find its empty and lets it drop out of his hand onto the floor before putting his arm over his eyes, stilling humming that goddamn song.]
