Starking Your Way Into Things

[withboxofscraps.livejournal.com]

1. Gucun was alight with new ships coming in during the end of the crisis that had been on hand. While some of them carried supplies, one of them was a truly massive ship emblazoned with the words "Stark Industries" across it. Even before setting down, you could hear hard rock that pre-dated the Impact being blared over huge speakers embedded into the ship.

From the top, a figure plummeted from the drop ship and landed with nary a thump via a parachute as fireworks exploded behind him in a pre-arranged pattern. Ladies and Gentlemen, Tony Stark has entered your world!

As the ship landed and people gathered at the drop point, he cleared his throat.]

Is it better to be feared, or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both? Ladies and Gentlemen of Gucun, I present to you the latest in Stark Industries freedom line, fresh from our development. Armed with the latest in our patented repulsor technology, it the latest in smart weapons. They say the best weapon is one that you don't have to fire. I humbly disagree! As the best weapon is the only weapon you have to fire once.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...

[And a huge missile appears from the top of it, aimed at the sky, gleaming in the evening sun.]

The Jerusalem.

[And it fired, skyward, zooming into the sky where it split up into hundreds of mini-seekers and exploded on pre-set targets hovering there. A shockwave buffered all of Gucun and Tony spread his arms, seconds before it whooshed past him, only to step towards a cooler.] Order one now and it comes with a mini bar. To peace!


2. [And here it is, a mobile Stark Expo, complete with various technologies, both weapons grade and medical. Tony is mingling with people, drinking from what seems to be an endless glass that keeps getting refilled. Clearly this man knows how to drink. Bother?]

[And as the shockwave rushes past, Kaito can't help but stand there and take it, smirking as he does. Nothing worthwhile to take, but he can't help but wonder what else Mr. Stark has to offer.]

A man always looking to one-up himself in every shape imaginable. Nice showing, Mr. Stark.

And don't I know it. [he peered over at Kaitou with his glasses.] Hey you're that operator guy. The, what's it called, the GSX thing that I invested in months ago. Wait, no, G3-X. That's it.

How's that anti-whatever gun I made for you work out?

Re: 1

[brbtreasure.livejournal.com]

Works like a charm, I have to admit. Granted, I've dealt with everything from Invaders to Percoliti to space pirates, so I have to say it works out.

Though, it's troubling that you don't even take the time to remember what you helped in...

How strange of one man to deal in tools to both save and take human lives.

Clearly you've never noticed us before, since we usually worked with Neo-America.

[Tony lowered his sunglasses.] Madam President. You look well. Stark Industries prides itself on peace-keeping weaponry and medical advances. We've got our fingers in everything.

[And unimpressed Mira is unimpressed.] Really that the best you could make? I could do that with spare parts. [Okay not really, but really the whole thing isn't that impressive to a refugee/tech.

In fact the whole display had her bored, filing her nails with an Emory board that she stuffed back into the cuff-computer on her wrist.]

Doubt it can handle real targets.

[Tony raised an eyebrow as he took his drink from the cabinet and sipped it.] You'd be surprised. The inside of those are very much top tech. Top of the line too.

I deal in making this world a little more bearable to live on. Is it so much to ask for a little flash once in a while? In fact... [And he pulled out a little pad and started poking it and raised an eyebrow.] Mira Greson, White Chalice tech. You know you could probably adjust that bike of yours, it's running pretty slow for such a potentially valuable thing.

I do like your taste in music though.

Hayato's eyebrows raise slightly at the demonstration.

"Impressive."

[Stepping off his podium and taking his drink, he raised an eyebrow at the imposing man.]

I take it you're not one of the locals? [Drink time!]

[Oh hey! It's a little french boy looking around.]

[Little kids? Well the Expo had some stuff for kids and--wait... Tilting his sunglasses down, Tony drained his drink and got another before sauntering over.]

See anything you like?

[And here's a young teen roaming around, casting a sharp eye at some of the tech here; some of it he takes a look at, nods, and moves on; others he actually stops to examine. And a few he sees, gawks at, and immediately proceeds to scour any included literature for information.]

Re: 2

[withboxofscraps.livejournal.com]

[Tony usually didn't get along with kids, but the formal dress made him pause. Checking his pad, he made a note before approaching.]

Looking at this? It's the Stark Medical Tissue Regeneration System. Mark 3. Kind of old but it helps with rapid fire tissue regeneration for burn patients and people who get too close to a blaster.

[Kamille is always one to take advantage of new tech, though he's typically unable to implement his designs due to extraneous circumstances. While he wish he could get his own designs out there, the people of the Chalice were a risky lot to run ideas by, his compatriots at Axis Zeon being a particularly bad example.]

[The Stark Expo coming to town, though, that was a master stroke of luck he could never expected in typical scenarios. If he could just find the man... there!] Mister Stark, sir? My name is Kamille Bidan--My parents wanted a girl, don't ask--I have a few design ideas that I've been working on, and I was hoping that you, uninvolved with the Chalice's internal politics, would be willing to give them a look over? Maybe even discuss business if they intrigue you?

[Tony looked over at him from over the top of his sunglasses.] ... funny you don't look like a girl. But hey, why not. I've got time.

Ranna was at the demonstration of the missile, though it is only now that she approaches Tony, wearing a dress uniform with a glass of fruit punch in her hand.

"Greetings, I am Star Captain Ranna of Clan Wolf. I am curious about the tracking suite of Jerusalem," she smiles easily.

[withboxofscraps.livejournal.com]

[Tony looked up from his drink and nodded after finishing his pull.]

Clan Wolf huh? But the Jerusalem, yeah, that's Stark Industries repulsor technology at work. Patented in every country you can think of.

(This might be a face that Tony recognizes. After all, multi-trillionaire weapon specialists have to know their competition.)

Well, well. If it isn't Tony Stark of Stark Industries. Looks like you have had you work cut out for you recently. I must say that was quite the display.

Re: 1

[withboxofscraps.livejournal.com]

Katsuragi. Huh, didn't expect to see you here. How's that acid situation going on, good? No? Cool.

So what brings you out here to Gucun anyhow? Other than visiting the Expo.

[Julia's just kinda just scouting the competition. She remembered seeing a lot of Stark tech during the Herrera Futuristics expo at Neo America a year ago, and some of this stuff is really impressive!]

Re: 2

[withboxofscraps.livejournal.com]

[Wandering through the area, Tony paused for a moment at the redhead. Where did he see her...?] JARVIS?

That is Julia Richardson, of Herrera Futuristics, sir. Stationed aboard the White Chalice if I recall correctly.

Ah. Well I should go say hello then.

[Slipping up behind her, he proclaimed,] Hey! Julia right? Tony Stark. I met your boss six months ago or so?

[gamenojikan.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey Stark, it's a young asian woman. She seems to be checking you out.]

Re: 2

[Tony's taking a drink when he feels Yui's eyes on him. Keenly aware, he turned around in mid-drink and paused.] Something on your mind?

[Cheng is watching the Expo go on with a frown on his face. One would wonder... why would he do that? After all it was a possible opportunity to get more tech to assist Gucun with.]

...

[The problem was that here was a man, flippantly showing off a weapon of sheer destructive power that practically the whole State felt. Barely having left the state Cheng quickly checked back with Han Zhi and the others. The shockwave stirred up the people even more after the insurgent's actions.]

[This was honestly too much to deal with in such a short span of time.]

Re: 2)

[withboxofscraps.livejournal.com]

[Flippant was his style, and Tony was grabbing a drink, heading around the venue, taking his pictures with others and such.]
