006 [Voice - Goldenrod]

[starspangledavenger]

[There's a steady quality to Steve's voice, though with enough stress that if you listen for it, you can hear that he's forcing this quality, to hide his discomfort. Every so often, there's the sound of an Espeon making pathetic little noises and a strong purring noise that follows each time, but otherwise there's very little noise for whatelse is happening around the man.]

I've been thinking about what it would be like to have Pokemon in my world, back where and when I came from. How it would change every day life, how it would change sports and movies, how it would change the function of machines, how it would change war. I'm finding that I don't think it would have changed as much as people would suppose. Maybe the future, but my time would have been similar in the turn of events.

It's made me wonder if anyone else has thought about such things. So, I pose the question to all of you, how do you feel having Pokemon in your world and time would, or would have, changed things?


((OOC: If his peeps(or other people in Goldenrod) want to come action at him, feel free. He's found a nice place outside, alone but for Pokemon, just drawing and seeming withdrawn))

Action;

[arrogantalloy]

[He licks his lips as it's pointed out, before looking down slightly.]

Technically it's thinking out loud, JARVIS used to always be there to reply.

[He leans back and regards the drawing, then nods at it before slipping it to the bottom of his paper pile and starting some vague Iron Man schematics.]

But now, he's not here to talk down to me so I've been trying to. Not... Do it.

[For a moment he looks incredibly lonely, but it disappears as face as it appears as he starts drawing his helmet.]

[starspangledavenger]

Talk, I don't mind. I'm not JARVIS, but I'll reply. [Steve knows that lonely feeling, he understands. There's not much many can do for him, he misses a time and people he can never get back, no matter what, but he could be a sad substitute for a machine.]

Or get a Polygon and teach it how to talk.

[arrogantalloy]

[He blinks at the paper.]

Uh, Really? I mean I know that Pepper has a hard ti-

[He pauses for moment, realising how long it's been since he's seen her then he swallows it down, knowing that Steve has it worse in that department. passing it off as dropping his pencil so the pause almost looks like he's paying attention to it's falling before picking it up.]

Hard enough time following what I talk about with to JARVIS, and she's been by my side for years.

And no deal on the Polygon, too much like raising a child teaching it to talk, really not something I'm suited for, or should be allowed to do really, because really, I'd accidentally set a kid on fire or something.

[It's moments like this that subconsciously, Tony realises that when he's quiet for too long, when he does start talking, he just talks a lot of crap as if to make up for the quiet he caused.]

[starspangledavenger]

[Steve says nothing about the pencil or how he thinks it was used as a distraction, not something that actually accidentally happened. Tony can have that moment of covering up his pride.

Instead he taps his pencil on his paper and looks contemplative.]

I'm not saying I'll understand or even follow what your saying, just that you can talk, I'll listen, and chime in where I do understand.

And yeah, i could see you setting a kid on fire.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony scoff at him, well at least he admits he wouldn't understand and for some reason, Tony appreciates this.]

Uh, thanks for the offer. I guess I'll keep it in mind then.

[Tony can't help but twitch a little, sure he said it first, but still when people confirm it it's slightly irritating ]

You know, one day I'm going to meet someone who isn't always so honest with me, and you know I'm going to enjoy it.
