WHO: Tony Stark & Agatha Heterodyne
WHAT: Meeting
WHERE: The Tower
WHEN: Tuesday morning
STATUS: Threading
WARNINGS: Language, mentions of injury/gore.



Tony barely slept. He'd spent most of the night watching his video surveillance of the portal. Unfortunately, it did little good as the villains were spit out quickly and landed all over New York. He felt useless. Perhaps he ought to put on his suit and go flying over New York? However, part of him didn't want to. He didn't want to see the pained looks on Pepper's, Morgan's, or Peter's faces ever again. Could he actually sit back and be the "man in the chair" though? Hell, he was antsy.

He was just about to try to get some more sleep in his chair when a strange sight popped out of the portal and landed on top of his building. He quickly summoned his suit (just in case) and rushed up.

agathaheterodyne: (But science...)

"Well nothing was posted, but basically.... I learned the hard way, don't kill anyone on the network, even if they asked you to and it is for science. Ah, on that note, is there a lab I can use somewhere or will I have to build it myself again?"

"No, no killing anyone on the network," Tony quickly agreed. "We only kill bad guys around here." She didn't seem like a bad guy. Complex, sure, but not bad. "I can give you some space for a lab," he promised. "I'll get someone to set that up for you."
agathaheterodyne: (Dramatic)

"Not sure if he was a bad guy or not, but he was interested in revivification, and since that is one of my areas of study at the time as well, I agreed to help with the experiment if he would share his research with me. I fulfilled my end of the bargain" and was hated for ages as a result, "but he left before we could do more than the first experiment," she said, frustrated.

"Something about the nature of the world itself made death impermanent. Without the need for machinery. He wanted to study how it worked, I wanted to study how using mechanical revivification on a world where death was naturally impermanent changed the revivification process. But I didn't ask if I could kill him for the experiment, he asked me to kill him, I helped refine what he wanted out of his death. And helped him choose a less painful method. Who actually WANTS to be burned to death anyway?" She shook her head. "Anyway, I learned that way to tell people there will be an experiment, and the nature of it, then invite them to my lab so that those who want to see it, for science, can, but it won't bother anyone too sensitive to handle death."

Her world was certainly interesting. "Here death is a bit more permanent. I mean there was the Blip, like I told you, but they turned to dust. It was a bit different than how people normally die, you know?"
agathaheterodyne: (Um what?)
Oct. 8th, 2020 08:33 pm (UTC)
"But you said you undid that," she pointed out. "And then of course... there is science. I can prioritize a revivification rigs, if you want." After she built a death ray and a few more dingbots.

"With some unintended consequences," he pointed out. "We are trying to put the universe back to how it should be." With some minor adjustments, like Tony staying alive, but he didn't mention that.
agathaheterodyne: (A devilish idea)

"Well yes, but if things went exactly as you expected them to, it would hardly be science now would it? Besides, unless you created a flaw, how it should be is subjective," she pointed out, reasonably.

She took a bite of cake and grinned. "For example, the absence of salted caramel snails in this cake."

The villains were a flaw, but there were villains prior to the second blip too. Maybe she had a point.

"I think you'll have to make your own snails," he told her.
agathaheterodyne: (You don't say)
Oct. 11th, 2020 07:11 am (UTC)
"I don't know if I'll find the right kind of water to mutate them," she said, thoughtfully.

"Maybe you will find a way in the lab," Tony pointed out. "Are you...alright up here? Do you want me to show you to your apartment?"
agathaheterodyne: (Um what?)
Oct. 12th, 2020 01:29 pm (UTC)
"Honestly, I'd rather a lab to an apartment at the moment, of for no other reason than a to have a place to finish this," she lifted the half built... whatever... she was making. "though a castle or a tower WITH a lab is traditional. I'm not sure an apartment is the best idea actually, given the way people in the last world reacted. Are people in this world also unduly upset by explosions?"
ironandheart: (:o 39)
Oct. 12th, 2020 01:32 pm (UTC)
"You will have both," he assured. "A place to sleep and a lab." Granted, Tony often slept in his lab prior to marrying Pepper... "I can show you the lab now as well."
agathaheterodyne: (Gentle Yes)
Oct. 12th, 2020 01:34 pm (UTC)
"That works. Will your sentient building be able to give me tools and supplies there as well as here?" she asked, hopefully.

She might have completely forgotten about trying out the phone.

"You can speak to FRIDAY in the lab," he assured her. "She is artificial intelligence." The last time AI became "sentient" things went a little haywire so he was reluctant to call his building such.
agathaheterodyne: (Why not)
Oct. 12th, 2020 01:49 pm (UTC)
"What exactly makes someone's intelligence... artificial. I think if anyone tried to call it artificial, it might just smash them. Actually... Castle Heterodyne does that just for fun," she admitted, making a face. "But that's beside the point."

Tony grinned. "You are opening a can of worms there, Agatha." He lowered his voice. "I can't say I disagree though. Intelligence...well it marks something more than artificiality."
agathaheterodyne: (A devilish idea)
Oct. 12th, 2020 01:55 pm (UTC)
"Ah so worms are accepted, but not snails," she asked with a teasing grin, amused.

"Actually I've had this conversation with people from other worlds, it is always an interesting one, even though I generally vehemently disagree with everyone else. Where exactly do you draw the line? What qualifies artificial for you?" She was leaned back against the table now, fiddling with her device again.

"I venture most would say a soul," Tony replied. "But that brings up the validity of higher powers and all that." He shrugged. "My robots are like family," he admitted. "Dum-E...he was the first bot I ever built and he is still with me all these years later."
agathaheterodyne: (Mad girl in a mad world)
Oct. 12th, 2020 02:06 pm (UTC)
"Unless you have found a way to definitively prove the existence of soul, it is not a scientific variable." She grinned. "Try again?"
