001 | Charlie Luciano | Voice

[dowhatisays]

[Hello Cape Kore, were you feeling a lack of New Yorkers you needed to fill? Another very strong accent comes over the device, deeper this time and much angrier.

Do to the automated response from his wrist... whatever, Charlie has come to the conclusion that it's some kind of direct line to his kidnappers. So please do excuse him for making rather a colourful first impression.]

I don't know who you thinks you are, you sick fucks, but whatever they're paying you ain't gonna be worth jack shit when I gets my hands on you, you hear?

And what kind of idiot you gotta be to dump someone and not fucking search 'em first?

Hey! [Charlie's voice becomes a little more indistinct as he moves his wrist to flag down a passing stranger.]

What to I gotta do to get a fucking car around here?

[dowhatisays]

...you're fucking kidding me, aren't ya?

[manofiron]

[ Thus far, Stanley has been more of a pain in the ass than anything else. But now, Tony thinks maybe he sees an unexpected benefit toward keeping him.

Turning on the video, he twists his wrist to show the huge cat currently sleeping in the middle of the living room floor. ]

You tell me.

[dowhatisays]

[Staring.

Staring.

STARING.]

I think somebody fucking slipped me something.

[manofiron]

If they did, can I get some of it?

[ Shame? What is shame? ]

[dowhatisays]

How much you offering.

[manofiron]

Depends. How much you want?

[dowhatisays]

I'll let you know soon as I figures out what the fuck it is.

[But he's noted your potential interest, Tony. Congratulations! You may secured a future mob boss as your drug dealer.]

[manofiron]

[ Well, every good drug dealer needs an arms dealer, right? ]

I also pay in guns, explosives, bows and arrows, other assorted weaponry, energy production, and technological wonders the world has never seen until I invent them.

[dowhatisays]

Really.

[INTEREST PEAKING]

You and I should talk sometime.

[manofiron]

Any time. If there's one thing I can do well, and there's actually a lot of things I can do well, it's talk.

[dowhatisays]

Sure. You got an address in this place?

[manofiron]

House six. Not very glamorous, I know, but I promise my place in Malibu more than makes up for it.

[dowhatisays]

Malibu, huh. You some sort of high roller?

[manofiron]

One of the highest, actually. Malibu's just where my house is. I've got places in New York, Dubai, basically I'm like American Expression. Anywhere you want to be.

Tony Stark. Nice to meet you.

[dowhatisays]

Charlie Luciano.

[He has a strong feeling he made a very good connection today.]

[manofiron]

[ Tony would agree. Of course, Tony also has an enormous ego. ]

Well, hey. Settle in. Try not to despair too much. And then look me up, huh? Or you know, if you've got more questions about this shithole that probably I can't answer, let me know. I can try. Or make stuff up. That'll probably be about as useful.

[dowhatisays]

Turns out a pal of mine is here, too. Soon as we know where we're standing I'll lets you know.

[manofiron]

Sounds like a plan.
