spam.
[For most people, dying is a big problem. It tends to put a damper on their whole day. For Stark? Well, it's not quite the relief he thought it'd be (and a little more embarrassing than expected; going down to some rogue Sub Rosa was just not what he had in mind for his blaze of glory, but what can you do?), but it was on the to-do list somewhere along the way.]

[It doesn't even really faze Stark much when he finds his surroundings different from what he remembers from his last trip. Hell was on the brink of civil war. New management was always a possibility. He's annoyed, but not that distraught over the lack of his guns and knife. The na'at makes him a little sad, but he can always pick up another here. Weapons are everywhere if you know where to look.]

[And look, he does. Stark doesn't need his hand to be hold or to be told where he is even if this isn't what he was looking forward to. (And yes, he's completely aware of how fucked up that is.) The best he has, once he's on the deck, is that whoever took over the shithole has been watching a little too much Star Trek between organizing an army and overthrowing Lucifer. He hopes they didn't do something equally stupid to the arena or he's going to be pissed.]

[It's at that point, when he's fairly alone, he tries stepping into a shadow. When nothing happens, he's not all that relieved, but he's still not mad.]

[It's his cabin that makes Stark go from apathetic to not in less than a second. He would've shrugged off and forgiven being pushed off the U.S. Bank Tower compared to this. Stark knew death wasn't going to be a vacation for him, but there are some pretty clear lines that no one should have the balls enough to cross. Then again, there's always morons wherever you go.]

[Stark won't give anyone any satisfaction of an obvious reaction. You never let the other guy know he's under your skin because the second you do that, you've lost. He knows how to turn that part of his brain off and work on pure auto-pilot to close the door behind him, to sit down on the mattress, and start puzzling out the communicator. Luckily he's mastered enough of the ridiculous phone technology to figure it out.]


So, who'd like to take credit for this?

Should've thought of that before you said ridiculous things about cuddling.

It's a lot to wrap your mind around, but I promise it all gets kinda mundane pretty fast.

I see our Cassel introduced me already, love. Pop up on deck and I'll bring you a bottle and some ciggies.

I think you'll do well 'ere. This is a place where smart choices are crucial.

[Iris is leaning on the deck railing, her silver-topped cane by her side. She's wearing a scarlet and black beaded cocktail dress and a black feather-trimmed raw silk jacket, and her fishnet stockings don't entirely hide the bandage on her thigh, but she has a smile, three packs of cocktail Sobranies and a bottle of vodka for him.]

Iris Wildthyme. Temporal adventuress, cabaret singer, righter of wrongs, wronger of rights and warden. And you're Stark, your ideas about luck and coincidence intrigue me and I might like to subscribe to your newsletter. Plus our Cassel likes you, so I'm disposed to be your friend already. Welcome aboard, petal.

No, probably not. My name's Claire Bennet, I'm a warden here. Sort of a veteran.

[At first, she worries he's serious, that she's already managed to upset the newcomer, but it eventually clicks, and a breathy laugh is heard o her end.] Right. Totally stalking you already, duh. Though, I just blew my cover, so. So much for that.

Oh, why thank you, Stark. You still don't know what I look like, so I have that going for me at least.

[Small, short laugh.]

Ooo, yes, that's something worth bragging about. Good thing this conversation's public, right? Let everyone bask in your awesome detective skills?

Sorry, the best I can do is change the color.
