Stark Expo Opening Afterparty [Open]

Stark Tower III: Petre’s Penthouse
Where: Main Entertainment Area, with wet bar
Scene Notes: Open to all Players, there are two catering staff moving around with various food items and drinks who anyone can play, as needed. At the wet bar, there is a bartender there to serve drinks, anyone can play him as needed.
Post Order: None
Timeframe: After the opening ceremony of Stark Expo 2020, probably around 8 or 9 P.M.
Pre-Notes: You entered the first floor of Stark Tower III, hired help directed you to the main elevator where you rode up to the upper levels of the tower. The elevator opened and you walked a few yards down a tight hall decorated with pop art almost all featuring Iron Man. You could see open double doors a little down and enter directly into a large open room which is the main entertainment area.

Petre lounged on her long black leather sofa, it was shaped like an “L” with a rug beneath that had a giant “S” on it; everything black and white, clean and sharp, modern and minimalist. Light classical music played in the background, Vivadi’s Four Seasons, her favorite classical and she found her mind wandering peacefully through it. It silenced her usual racing thoughts. All she could think of was the music as it came, note by note, every time she heard it like the first time and she began to feel it was the sounds of her life, changing, the four seasons…

She picked up her short crystal glass and took a small sip of tart lemonade. No sugar. She didn’t really like it but couldn’t say she disliked it, it had a light carbonation, no alcohol even though she had hired a bartender to serve at the wet bar just for this occasion. Petre had not yet thought over how the Expo had gone, she was still in a smooth glide from it all and didn’t, yet, want to do anything but sit on her sofa and drink lemonade and listen to the four seasons.

I hope that Papa is right and this bring in more people to the team… Pete lifted her blue gaze to the room, observing who was here and what was going on to see if she needed to rise and entertain anyone. We need it.

Brian, massively out of place, allows himself to be asked about where he’s going and if he’s sure he’s dressed appropriately once he informs them that he’s going to the party. Brian glares at the help as they ask him about how he’s dressed and stomps away towards the elevator.

The doors open and Brian walks out still dressed in his fatigues which have spots where dirt clings to the jacket and the area around the knees are darkened by some substance that at one point in time may have been motor oil but it’s not easy to tell. He generally smells like three things: sweat, spent gunpowder and soap. Brian himself looks freshly washed, his face is totally clean and shaven, his Mohawk is standing on point to its full three inches and his fingernails, while uneven and untrimmed, are clean.

Brian walks right in and goes straight to the bar not even bothering with social niceties on his way there. Immediately on arrival Brian informs the barman, “depth charge, please.”

The barman stares back with surprise, either at the generally displeasing demeanor his customer has, the generally unpleasant smell emanating from the customer or the unfamiliarity he, the bartender, has with the drink that has just been ordered. In the moment of hesitation Brian rolls his eyes and then says in a frustrated tone, “f*** man, it’s an Irish Car Bomb.” The drink is produced and Brian wastes no time in dropping the shot glass in and slamming the drink. The drink only existed from creation to total consumption for about 15 seconds.

Brian slaps the bartender on the shoulder and says in a clearly happier tone, “that was good man! Got any snacks back there,” Brian adds on the last part as he starts peeking over to the barmans’ side. Wordlessly the barman gestures at the food that has been brought in which causes Brian to abandon the one-sided conversation and start sampling his way down the table which only increased the well-educated and overpaid peoples offense from this man. Now that he’d tried what there was to try he went back with a plate and took large portions of what he must have liked. With a full plate in hand Brian turned to look at the room and what he desired was clearly written all over his face, chair, chair, chair, chair which led him to Petres’ sofa to which his last thought was Sofa’ll do. Without ceremony or social grace Brian sits down on the couch and assumes a greatly lounged position and starts eating. Between mouthfuls of food Brian starts a conversation with his sofa mate, “hi, I’m Brian, I understand you're starting up the Avengers again.”

{Jeffery Monroe-Strange}
"Might,Magic,and mother nature is my specialty."


Jeff walked into the Penthouse. He had changed out of his Dr.Strange outfitt and was wearing a tight black t-shirt and black bootcutt jeans with large black and gold cowboy boots.
He walked over to the bar and sat down,asking the bartender for a magerita.
His muscles flex and buldge under the t-shirt with each movement. He had a massive body at 6 foot 3 and 300 pounds of pure muscle.

The bartender handed him his drink and he went and sat over on the sofa,at the end away from the other two.
He crosses his legs and takes a sip of the icy cold drink.
"Good evening Miss Stark.",he says with a nod to Pete and he glances at the other. He didnt know who he was.......

Probably another freak. Jeff thought. More and more people like him were probably going to join the Avengers. Not that that was a bad thing but Jeff wasnt very social.

[Thanks for joining the scene!]

Brian watches Jeff sit down on the sofa. Brian has an expression on his face that is something like an attack dog waiting for the order to strike. This expression remains until after Jeff acknowledges Brian with a quick glance at which time the tension melts away into amusement. The source of his amusement is quickly revealed to those that hear Brian say "aww, we gonna wrangle some cattle later?" just loud enough that it is audible but not so loud that it's clearly understood.

Brian resumes greedily eating from his plate once more; contributing much to the continued offense of the more 'proper' guests.

Petre sat up slowly, as if she was void of energy. What was… her mind trailed but she heard people speaking and blinked back into the penthouse, coming back with reality, rejoining the present. “Uh, hey.” She stared at Jeffery for a moment, nodded, and then noticed there was another guy here that she didn’t know. It took several moments for her to process this, groggy and low on energy and then she tensed and jerked up fully. Oh s**t. The man sitting down by her made her have to force that people were here and she couldn’t zone out, trying to consider if she ought to start smoking or drinking or shooting up with some fantastic drug like every other rich kid in New York. “Clearly the A.I. system needs to be adjusted, I have this vague memory of programming it not to just let random hobos wander in and get up here.” She tapped a phone with a flat screen and pulled a blue-tinted HUD screen off it. It stayed suspended in the air and her small, thin fingers dragged pieces of it around that seemed like unconnected puzzle chunks with strange characters on them. As she was doing that, becoming alive once more, fingers working on some problem but making no indication she was going to kick the stranger out she licked her bottom lip. “Thanks for coming, Jeff.”

Petre checked what she wanted, knowing neither by her could read any of it and to them it would appear as fast moving gibberish. “Well now that there won’t be anymore of you,” She eyed the stranger, deep blue eyes exactly the same as her fathers. Her thin face showing bony cheekbones from how underweight she was but she put out her hand, wrist like a child’s. “Petre Stark, so what’s your sad story?”

Brian sets the now emptied plate aside before pulling a handkerchief from inside his jacket which he uses to wipe his hands and face clean or at least something resembling clean. “The food is delicious, you ought to have some,” Brian shakes Petres hand, accidentally overdoing the strength for the handshake; “you look starved. Oh, and I know who you are, everyone in my line of work knows the famous Stark family.” Brian settles back into the couch taking a much reclined posture. “I’m going to cut to the chase since you’re waiting to kick me out anyway. I’m Master Sergeant Brian Hall, retired; I have a bachelors in mathematics with a focus on physics. I’ve been told you want to put together the Avengers and rather than allow you to populate it with a bunch of overinflated do-nothing egos I thought I’d offer to join since I’m actually the boots on the ground in this street fight.” Brian, sensing the possible skepticism about what he does, continues. “I’m one of the few people that have a documented kill shot at greater than a mile, I’ve been a soldier for longer than a decade and I have learned many useful skill sets that apply to cleaning up the city." Brian produces a picture of a little girl from one of the pockets on his jacket, “I’ve been trying to find Maria Jose in Hells Kitchen and after I stopped a man from murdering a woman I was pointed in the direction of the Avengers mansion by a guy in a red suit, the A.I. there sent me here and now here I am, offering you my services.”

Here it comes, Brian, the rejection at face value. No research done, just appearances. I knew this was a waste of time; at least the food was good.

{Jeffery Monroe-Strange}
"Who says Magic isnt real?"


Jeff snorted at Brian's persumptious speech.
Hehated this guy already. Hpw nice of him to just walk in and presume that he's better then anyone else here.
More then likely have the avengers could kill this kid without so much of a sweat.
"How cute. Your little pea-shooter can hit someone at over a mile? I can kill a man in a completely different part of the world. Watch what you say about overinflated do-nothing egos.",he said in a low growling voice.

"You sound pretty useless to me.",he added,standing up and walks over and gets a small plate with some fruit and cheese on it.
His the metal on the bottom of his cowboy boots click with each step he takes.
"Which means. Your the one with the over inflated ego.",he finishes as he sits back down on the couch,eating a cheese cube.

"I advise you respcet those you work with,especiall when they can kill you without a second thought.",he says,stopping his rant to hear what Pete had to say.
Surely she wasnt impressed by the kids medicore credidentials.

Petre looked like she was only half aware of what was going on and snipped the article with her phone, taking a digital picture for later, m2s-1. “Uh, we need more people on the team.” The girl leaned foreword and smirked. “Come on, Jeff. What about Black Widow or good old Nick Fury, hell, even my father… training and a little cold hard cash can transform someone wearing their face on their a** into a movie star,” 645.2 mm2s-1 this is good, this is kinematic, dynamic is good. “I have to submit you for a background check, Mr. Hall, our dear friends at shield usually take care of that. Here,” She turned the phone towards him and, even though it made no noise or indication of doing anything, she was obviously doing something. Quick almost angry fingers danced over it. “And off you go.” Ramjet might work…

Pete leaned back and opened her mouth to make some other comment when the phone beeped back and without her touching it another voice came through. “You’re throwing a party?” Tony Stark sounded amused by this. “Now this I have to be part of.”

“Please don’t.”

“You. You’re throwing a party? Hilarious. You can’t even shake someone’s hand right.”

“Welcome back, loving sire, I sure missed you.”

“I’m coming up.”

Pete only grunted some kind of response and slowly rose from the couch, “Hey bartender, plan B.”

The man turned around and touched a button under the counter, which turned all the shelves in the bar. All the beautiful bottles of alcohol changed into rows of glass coca-cola bottles and big, unsightly, plastic liter bottles of various soda. Pete looked at this, smirked, and dropped back down. Suck it, Papa. “You don’t wanna know how much I pay that guy to do that.” She said between Jeff and Hall. "Something else must be up because its absolutely not realistic that after giving the opening ceremony for Stark Expo he doesn't have anything, or anyone, to do, tonight."

Brian opens his mouth like he’s about to have some very unkind things to say but Petre starts talking before anything comes out. This went better than expected. Petre informs Brian about shield which seems to placate Brians need to retort. Brian is about to get up when Petre has her exchange with Tony and then the quick changeover from alcohol to a kiddy party seems to break Brians desire to leave. Brian stands up anyway, but to look at the bar area for where all the alcohol went. “Powers and skill don’t impress me, Jeff,” Brian heard Petre say Jeffs name earlier, “the will to use them does.” Brian walks away from the bar after realizing he’d need more than a visual inspection to understand where all the alcohol has gone. “I’ve been on the street cleaning up the city and I haven’t seen you that means you haven’t been doing anything,” Brian makes eye contact with Jeff, “if you think I’m useless that means you must think you’re a waste of resources because you aren’t doing s***. I think I like you though, I think you’ve got the fire to use your skills, why don’t you come out to Hells Kitchen with me? I’d like to work with somebody rather than be in that piece of the third-world alone.” Brian keeps his eyes locked on Jeff; Brian seems to be completely genuine about the invitation. “If you’re half as powerful as you just said I could use your help because those people really need a hero right now and I’m not the sort that America wants to admit it needs to save itself. We could clean it up and you could be the poster boy.” Brian, whom just mere seconds ago was clearly the most offensive man ever born, started sounding like a thinker and a bit of a dreamer.

Jeffery burst out luaghing.
"Your so funny you know that?",he asked not taken this kid seriously at all.
"It's not my fualt if you dont care about mutants like the rest of you stuck up jerks, but for those who do they know who I am. I am single handedly carrying the X-men on my back boy.",he stood up and walked right over to him.
"If you dont wanna hear about my powers dont brag about your every mans abilities.",he growled.
"Your one to talk mr no name. Pete herself said she programmed the AI to prevent "Random Hobos",comming in if you have any memmory",he glared at Brian.
"I dont work for ignorant low lifes Brian I think you better get that through your thick skull. I serve people who actually respect people and understand what battles to pick.",his eyes turned into little white flames like his mothers did when he was angry.
Thunder could be heard outside just before the sound of pouring rain started.
"I've done more than you, I've saved countless children from the streets who would have been murderd for being mutants. Do your research before you talk trash.",he said before turning on his heel and getting a bottle of cola from the bar.

“Ah, there it is; the good old racism.” Brian smiles thoughtfully and looks at the ceiling. “Oh, I’m thirty-four; and I’m not your boy.” Brian lifts his left hand to eye level showing the missing pinky and tip of the pointer finger than runs his right hand over a burn scar on the right side of his neck that runs down under the jacket, the smile has melted away into a scowl, “I’ve been fighting for this country for a longer than a decade, seen things that a man doesn’t stop carrying with him.” Brian drops his hand back to his side, “I poured my heart and soul into America in a lifetime of war and blood only to see this country is no better for it. Murders, rapes, theft, racism, hate crimes and all the other things humanity has made to make death not seem so bad are all going on right here, and right now at this very instant.” Brian looks at the ground and shakes his head, “I was asked for a resume, I gave it. I didn’t say I didn’t want to hear about your powers, I said I wasn’t impressed that you had ‘em. I didn’t say I wanted you to work for me, I said work with me.” Brian sighs, “I can see you’re going to keep sputtering about how impressed I should be with you and I’m sure any second now you’re gonna to start flying but I’m trying to get a job right now from a family that will likely get me access to resources I’ve not yet even dreamed so I’m gonna f*** off before you try to tell me how long your p***s is ‘cause I’m not really interested.” Brian smiles, turns to Petre to say, “You have a nice place and the food was excellent. Call me if you want me on your team,” he pulls out a notepad which he scribbles out his phone number that he leaves next to his plate and starts walking to the elevator.

Pete wondered why Jeff seemed to refer to the obviously older guy as a boy but she didn’t go any further than her basic curiosity before she opted to think about the next design of ultra-smart missal launchers. This is what Papa would call a pissing match, right? She slide heavy eyes to the bar and then at the door, almost fearing what her father would say and do when he came in or if he’d actually come up at all and that had just been another little nail in the coffin that was becoming their relationship. “Please stop talking,” She said dully, not addressing either one of them. “You really have to let go of this mutant-chip-on-your-shoulder deal, Jeff. Do you remember why the hero registration act started in the first place?” She looked out at him. A small round robot that was trying to clean the floor bumped into Jeff’s foot and Pete narrowed in on it with a scowl. “Retarded little puke ball, I swear, I have scrapped that design twenty three times and it still sucks, do you believe that? Do you know the stuff I’ve invented or improved and a little vacuum cleaning robot stumps me? It shouldn’t run into people, it doesn’t run into chair legs or walls--- just people.”

Petre was usually all business, though she seemed to be a bit off tonight. Perhaps it was the flood of relief at the opening of Stark Expo having passed and having a decent outcome. When she caught Hall’s speech she got up and kicked the round robot out of the way, it went rolling across the floor like an extra large hockey puck and the girl shoved her hands into her pockets, slumping down into horrible posture. “Hey there Mr. Efficient, do you have anywhere to go?”

"Oh right I'm a racist?!",Jeff yelled.
"Sure I proudly celebrate my mothers african heritage and yet I'm a damn rasict!",he yelled.
He rounded on Pete.
"And this isnt about being a mutant. This boy...Yes I'm calling him a boy becouse he talks like a pissy 16 year old! He walks in here and makes an assumpton about us saying we dont do anything.",he slams the coke down the drink goes flying.
"Listen to what people are saying before talking through your a** kid! I never tried to impress you! I'm just trying to show you that your not the only damn person that actually does anything in this world! I'm tired of everyone tryin to be a damn Martyr!",he screams before a light in the ceiling burst and he sits down at the bar with his head in his arms.

((Hehehe dont take anything personal ^^ Jeff is hot temperd and he is serious about people actually listening to what others say >_< He's like a real life grammer nazi XP))

Brian stops and responds to Petres question if he had somewhere to go, clearly unsure if it was actually directed at him or at the vacuum, “no, not really, I…” Brian is cut off by Jeffs outburst and display.

Brian stands close to the door, listening and watching the display being put on by Jeff. Brian rubs the back of his neck while sighing and walks cautiously over to Jeff and takes a seat next to him at the bar. “Look, I know we ain’t friends or nothing but for whatever it’s worth I’m sorry for pushing your buttons and I’d like to have a drink with you.”

(It's cool, character conflict makes roleplay interesting. If we all got along than there would be nothing to keep us drawn in)
