Rested, thank you.
And yourself?

( He's full of coffee and actual, real sleep! Amazing how that works. )

[spacedisaster]

Good. Does anything hurt? Because there's an insanely amount of drugs being traded in this city, I'm sure I can find you normal painkillers.

About to start tearing my hair off if I have to keep wearing 3 pieces suits for another month. How do you even stand them? It's so restricting. They do make my shoulders look great, though.

But, if you are feeling better, I wanted to talk to you about some tech that could be really useful to have for the missions.

[ Ah, real sleep, that must do wonders...Peter think it's a myth. He's been having nightmares for weeks. ]

[arc_reactor]

( Quill pls. )

1. Wow, that is quite the offer. Kinda don't want to start an addiction if I can help it so, I'm good.

2. They're best when they're made-to-measure. I'm visiting the garment district tomorrow; you should come with.

3. Yep, what do you need?

( He could use a lot of painkillers, actually, but the deep-seated ache in his shoulder has tapered in the last few days, and he knows himself too well to risk access to the strong stuff circulating on the black market. )

[spacedisaster]

[ 'Quill pls' is probably something Tony will think about a lot. ]

I was talking about something for the pain, not to get you high. But okay, I see your point.

Oh...okay that might help. I'm just not used to wearing fancy clothes, you know? I feel like I'm pretending to be something I'm not. Which is exactly what we are doing, but I mean in general, not just for his mission.

Do you think you could make some sort of small, listening device that we could plant on some people of interest?

[arc_reactor]

Do you stop being yourself when you're butt-ass naked? Clothing's just the window dressing. A suit's a different kind of armor.

Seriously? Yeah, that's easy, no problem. How soon do you need it?

[spacedisaster]

No, but I do look more handsome naked. Jokes aside, clothing is more than just covering up. It signals a specific identity, wealth, and status. The Ravagers dress a certain way, so do the families here. I just feel...out of place.

That easy? Well, I don't know how long this mission might take, so the sooner we have those the better. I figured you had other projects going on.

[ Like, maybe build himself a new arm. ]

[arc_reactor]

Lucky for you, I can multitask.

( The arm's built, luckily. He was ready for this, as much as he didn't want it, because it was best to be prepared for the worst. )

[spacedisaster]

Lucky indeed. are you going to need raw materials? Some help? a cappuccino...?

[arc_reactor]

Cappuccino, yes; raw material, no. They've got enough to work with, they shouldn't miss anything.

[spacedisaster]

That I can manage. Even try to draw you something cute with the foam.

[ It's going to look like this. You're welcome, Tony. ]

All right, if you are sure. Be careful with their spy cameras, though.

[arc_reactor]

You're certainly a man of many talents, Quill.

( he will...actually be thoroughly impressed. )

Not to brag, but you know who you're talking to, right?
I wish Rocket were here though, would cut the labor in half.

[spacedisaster]

Why, thank you Mr. Stark. i might show you a few more in the future.

[ He tried to make a raccoon first and failed. Bunnies are much easier. ]

Hm...point. I do like people who are so sure about their abilities. True about Rocket, but his solutions to most problems is also 'let's blow it up', so he needs to be babysat.
