Oh no. Oh no. Looks like Tony had somehow invited mister Wise-Ass. Was he prepared for the bullshittery that would unfold? After all, they were kindred souls... Mustache bros.... Men of engineering sort... Boys who had guns who probably shouldn't have them...

And as he watched the other work, he was soon realizing Tony had asked him a question. One he had missed because he was too deep in his musing over their similarities.

So, to cover up the little blunder, Michael just smirks, barely containing the grin that wants to light up his features.

"Can you say it like Dr. Frankenstein? Igor! Fetch me the brain!" The grin remains. Static. Before very softly, his embarrassment takes hold and squeaks out from his lips.

"... Sorry."

@overclocks - s.c.

If you could change one thing about your past, what would you change?

"Going the extra mile for Urbanshade's Crypto mining in hopes that they allowed me to paint more. No matter how much I got them, it would still be 6 days of mining and 1 of painting, on a timer and very rushed too. How stupid of me..."

@overclocks didn't ask for this but is getting it anyway

Dinner was... sure something.

The team had been operating well for a bit. And now that the immediate emergency was over, things were finding a certain cadence. On the surface, it felt like everything was back to normal. But there was... tension. It didn't really take long to feel it, especially with there being more down time.

Nothing felt more obvious than at dinner. It'd been Steve's idea, as a sort of thing to have them bond a little more, to feel something like a family again and make Kamala feel welcome. And for the most part, that was what it did--the Avengers were always known for their good-natured ribbing. But there were some off-color comments thrown about, the edge barely taken off of words exchanged with the cover of familiarity that didn't sit right. It had Steve squinting more than once throughout the meal.

And maybe it was because he was sitting opposite of him the whole night, but no one's discomfort stuck out more than Tony's. Sure, he laughed and smiled, snarked back with whatever came at him. But there were moments--when the laughter and focus was at the other end of the table, when no one else should be looking--that for a split second there was a peek behind the mask. Nothing really changed, but it was like a spark left Tony for a moment, a bit of a curl into himself for just a second, before he threw himself back into the moment, pushing his armor forward.

And maybe it was unfair to single out Tony, but he was the one Steve knew best. The one who had always been there to talk to Steve when he was struggling. And everyone else was... well, he tried, in his own way, to see how things were going, and was politely rebuffed each time. Sure, everyone was glad he was back, but they all seemed so eager to forget about whatever had happened in the meantime.

Maybe it was a bit of shame. From what Steve had read, the fallout after his death had everything falling apart fast. No one had really acted their best during that time. But Steve's mind kept going back to that look Tony had. That bite to some of his words, the tell-tale signs of Tony fighting back against something. And if no one was going to open up about it... Well. There was one person who could open up about it, one person whose opinion and feelings in this he valued and needed to hear.

So here he was, slinking around barefoot, wearing a matching set of sweatpants and hoodie--the hoodie in question taking turns falling off a shoulder due to being approximately 4 times too big--with an old tank top on underneath. Pajamas, truthfully. But it did make the rest of his slinking around a lot quieter, checking first the lab. To his surprise, Tony wasn't actually there. That was... well he actually wasn't sure what kind of sign that was. Heading to Tony's room, Steve paused outside the door.

Maybe Tony was actually asleep? In theory, that would be a good thing. Disturbing that, then, with Steve's worrying, probably wouldn't be welcome. But, on the other hand, how many times had Tony pursued him, pushing until Steve had reluctantly started talking? He wouldn't have backed down, just because Steve wasn't where Tony had first expected to find him. Besides, if he was asleep, he could ignore the knock on the door.

"Hey." Steve leaned against the door-frame, angling his head down a bit after his knock. The rooms themselves were rather soundproof--between the Hulk and Thor, it was necessary--but in the hallways, that sound could travel quite a bit. "You awake, Tony? I kind of stole some ice cream, could use a bit of help eating it."

[midnight-ranger-general-jiyan]

Im sorry Jiyan! I didn’t mean to sound so hurtful! I just think that you deserve just as much, if not more love and care that you give out so freely to your troops, your family, your friends and anyone who needed your help.

Please let people help you every now and then, sometimes they want to return the help/support you give so freely. No one should have no shoulder their responsibilities and struggles alone :( And you won’t be burdening them by doing so.

(I felt so bad 😭 at the response, I just love him so much and want him to feel cared for and be cared for too!! He shouldn’t have to shoulder everything alone and quietly!!)

"Thank you for your concern." Jiyan closed his eyes briefly and opened them again. "I am doing fine." He smiled at them, despite it not reaching his eyes.

Logan pressed the heels of his palms into his eyes, rubbing vigourously. No dice, the numbers were burned into his retinas. Who knew that running a school would mean spending so much time staring at papers and computer screens, crunching numbers and balancing books for entire days on end?

It wasn't even tax season yet.

"You like numbers." Logan said, not moving his hands from his eyes as Tony let himself into his office. He'd know that overly expensive cologne that just barely covered the sharp tang of metal and grease anywhere. Logan twisted his computer monitor around, looking up at Tony through one hand. "You do the math. I quit."

@overclocks has a flying friend now // (starter call here + still accepting)

Red and gold whizzes by out in the cold nothingness of space. SOMETHING EXCITING! The singularity flies after the metal man and she recognizes him. A FRIEND! He starts spinning out of control. OH NO! Rushing forward, she reaches for the left foot and trying to slow him down. If worst comes to worst, she can always catch him with her stomach.

〞CAREFUL! CAROL FRIEND!〝 Singularity shouts, finally about to grab hold and stop Iron Man from spinning out into nothingness. Voice a little strained as she catches him. 〞GOT YOU.〝 Now they were stagnant kept in place by the singularity's own force. 〞WHY SPINNING? YOU OKAY?〝 Questions asked still holding on him by the thruster boot.

meanwhile now I do want it to be translated to tech speech >:)

Hello, new users. First off, please don’t panic if your RP system isn’t optimized right out of the box. Every expert user was a beginner at some point, even the pros. Execute at a manageable speed, incrementally level up, and avoid expecting max efficiency from day one. Patience is a key input, valued user.

Next, establish strong communication protocols. If you need to clarify actions or align strategies, initiate a direct message. High-quality communication inputs = optimized teamwork, and nobody wants an unexpected process crash due to a misalignment in expectations.

Finally, remember—RP is primarily a vibe-centered function. No need to push performance mode 24/7. The experience loop is designed to enhance enjoyment, not constant overclocking. Go beyond the standard output, collect W's, and generate meaningful data with your team. RP is more than just wins; it’s about the journey. Now let’s get that digital bread and ensure maximum pog output.

a repost of some wedding stuff for steve and tony (@overclocks) in honor of their anniversary tomorrow

the week leading up to sept 25th, every hero in new york is extra alert and working a bit of overtime to make sure things are as quiet as possible that weekend

the wedding parties are as follows: natasha (@shespy), carol, and rhodey for tony; clint (@hitsharder), sam, and bucky for steve. rhodey and bucky are best men to their respective groom (who are also named james which is hilarious). halley is the flower girl. kate (@purplearchcr) is the ring bearer

bucky and rhodey are knowledgeable enough about their respective groom to know that trying to arrange separate bachelor parties is just gonna end up with both being sad the whole time that they don’t get to hold the other’s hand (losers). so they work together to plan out a day of events, likely involving coney island with carnival games and a restaurant crawl of so much good food

the wedding itself actually goes off without any villainous attack. it is deemed the miracle of the century

no but really it’s a fucking miracle. not a stilt, glue, or bald red head in sight

thor officiated. he kept it short and sweet (helped with the no attacks bit) and did in fact make a rainbow form at the end

steve and tony wore actual suits. steve has a picture of his mother in his jacket pocket over his heart

their color scheme is blue and gold with accents of white where appropriate

the cake is massive and also good tasting but also like, 5 minutes into the party, the toppers are swapped with captain america and iron man action figures. iron man carries captain america on top of the cake

there are disposable cameras for each guest to take their own photos. steve gets them developed and makes copies of the ones he likes most for his own scrap book. he makes little scrap books for everyone else out of their photos and some of the official ones and some favorites taken by other guests as party gifts. personalized thank you notes are in the back

their wedding song is betty hutton’s rendition of it had to be you. steve learned a dance just so he could sweep tony off his feet properly

food good. steak mainly, with fish and vegetarian options for their various friends. tables were painstakingly arranged to maximize friendliness and minimize conflict

[midnight-ranger-general-jiyan]

I've read you've never overclocked. That's a statistical impossibility; I wouldn't be surprised to find out you hide it. You shouldn't be neglecting yourself.

"There are several people who have not overclocked het. Baizhi is one of them although she only obtained her ability four years ago. Neither has Yaunwu, I think."

Honestly, Tony's belief that he was going to get bit to death by bugs was half the reason why he got bit by bugs. It was Bucky's theory, anyway. Even as Tony doused himself in at least half a can of bug spray, it was almost as if the watching bugs in the forest took grave insult to it and were setting their little bug watches for the moment it would all wear off.

"You know, it'd be really bad if I lit a match right now." Bucky walked over and gently took the bug spray from Tony's hand, replacing it with the still folded tent. "Why don't you pitch the tent and I'll chop some wood. And I mean the tent, not a tent, that can be later."

It's time we talked about Sorcha.

@sorchamidnite sprang more or less fully formed out of the V5 rulebook as I was reading through the rules for thinbloods. There was something about the idea of a Gen Z brat princess who'd been groomed for vampirism all her life, and then come out... wrong. Something about the insular and paranoid world of the Hecata and putting a spin on that "accident." Something about the combination of Vitae Dependency, Discipline Affinity and Bondslave that accelerated the codependent, quasi-incestuous nature of sire-childe relationships into high gear.

And I had Alistair, hanging around in my brain as well, and making him a dad crystalised him. Brought him out of the one note, two dimensional expy status he had and humanised him. Here was this fierce, tired old man and here was what made his whole rotten life worth living; this brilliant, irrepressible little gremlin child. I might have some minor daddy issues around abandonment and neglect and these two have really helped with processing that.

I've always tended to ship my RP characters (because I'm a sappy bitch), Sorcha surprised me - she's dated an absolute psychopath, she's wished so hard that she was aromantic so she never had to go through that again, and then she met @cherubim-now-throne and her silly little heart just exploded. What was meant to be a few nights of fun with her friend from the Internet has blossomed into some real OTP shit for both of them: they started to trust each other while they were tormented by visions, high as kites, generally vulnerable, and now they're in a long-distance relationship neither of them expected to happen.

Sorcha is a rich bitch with a drug habit and a daddy with a gun and a certain flexibility in how she works. She's made two fundamental alterations to how her Blood works: a failed diablerie attempt that at least gave her Oblivion that works all the time, and an overclocked alchemical solution to her Bondslave problem that might have made her a bit of an omen.

Sorcha is magic. Every community I've taken Sorcha into has fallen in love with her (for some reason), whether it's "how much for Sorcha to destroy me?" or "we know she's evil but she's SO BABY."

Sorcha is transition goals, unattainable without a time machine and a way to give me a completely different body type - she's all the girls I ever loved and the girl I'd like to have been.

Sorcha has plot armour, because I say so. I'm willing to put a lot of my characters through hell, I frequently play them like they're going to die, but Sorcha is going to live forever.
