@Everyone UN: That Stark Guy

[nonstopnarcissist]

Twofer today: requests for the forge? I'm out of things I can do with what I have on hand, I need a list.

Two: I need more raw material. Who's up for a mining expedition?

Right now? Staffs. Mostly meant to be cut down for hilts and hafts.

[blacksky]

It'd be nice to have something sharper, but I can rise to the challenge.

[nonstopnarcissist]

We find a good spot for ore it won't take that long. I'm limited by what our overlords see fit to give me.

I don't want to rely on that too much.

[blacksky]

That would be the smart play. Generally captors aren't the most generous people or so cable tv tells me at airports.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Compared to past experience, this is practically cushy.

[blacksky]

I was able to claim a home and food within a day of arriving here. I can't say I have many complaints aside from our captors failing to pick up his cane while they were kidnapping him. It didn't weight that much.

[nonstopnarcissist]

How tall is your friend? Actually I'd recommend bringing him by, I'll take the measurements myself.

[blacksky]

I'll talk him into it. Try not to roll your eyes too hard when he tells you he doesn't need charity. I'd hate for you to lose them before you fill the order.

[nonstopnarcissist]

I'm sure there's something he can do that'll count as payment for services rendered.

[blacksky]

Absolutely not. This is my gift to him. He can make an exchange for something else he needs. There will be more unless this place becomes accessible overnight.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Everything from the forge comes with a Stark Guarantee, no matter what it is. If he thinks of something, I can rig it.

[blacksky]

If this works out, I'll keep you in mind for future jobs. That's a Ms. Oil guarantee.

[nonstopnarcissist]

I kind of have a monopoly on the market, no healthy competition here other than my own pride, alas.

[blacksky]

Is that so? It must be boring to have no challengers.

[nonstopnarcissist]

More interested in creative collaboration than industrial rivalry as it stands.

[blacksky]

You are an American superhero first. Isn't that what your kind does?

[Fighting in armor with a green monster doesn't get more creative or collaborative as far as Elektra can tell.]

[nonstopnarcissist]

The creative collaboration or industrial rivalry?

[blacksky]

Creative collaboration unless I'm missing something?

[nonstopnarcissist]

I thought it was a crack about my being specifically an American businessman because- well you wouldn't be wrong 9 times out of 10.

But you're not wrong about creative collaboration either.

[blacksky]

Now why would I make fun of a defender of Earth who is making an item for my dear Matthew? You didn't charge me for saving Earth at least.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Low hanging fruit? Puncturing egos?

Oh, wait. Matthew? Murdock. I met him the other night, he fell on me.

[blacksky]

Now you understand why I want this. I don't mind him falling on me, but eventually someone is going to get annoyed with him. I'd hate to get nasty.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Soon as I get the right sand I'll get glasses poured for him. That and the stick should do most of the work.

[blacksky]

Wonderful.
