You've reached the voicemail feature for Justin Hammer. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused by being unable to answer your call, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you, and have a good day.

[The reply takes at least fifteen minutes, which he might blame on meetings. Maybe.]

Look, it was--it wasn't cool. Or fair. And I'm sorry. I'm just


Sometimes I don't think things through, so apologies.

[therealgenius]

Does that bug you? Being called a manwhore, being told you think with your sex drive--does ANY of that get it under your skin? At all? I mean, I can explain where I'm coming from, but I was really exacerbating things myself, you can't sugarcoat being a shithead.

Well, you probably can, but it doesn't smell any better. I don't know; I've never put sugar on feces before.

[therealgenius]

Does it matter to you what I think you should think about yourself, Tony?

Who does this remind you of?

45 minutes later

[therealgenius]

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, meat packer, and not Sarah Michelle Gellar.

I can't stop listening.

[manofiron]

Please tell me that you haven't been listening to it this whole time.

OMG. I looked up some to combat that and found this:

Mahjong in an emote? Really?

text - all from jarvis

[manofiron]

[ Immediately after this ]

There is no reason for you to be embarrassed, sir. This was his reaction to receiving your erroneous text message.

if you don't use the jarvis icon the entire time i will get confused tho

[therealgenius]

Wow this is a good picture. This is a really good picture.

Did he say anything?

I WILL TRY TO REMEMBER

[manofiron]

I will send the original file to your email address.

"JARVIS, look! He's showing his mom! I think he likes it."

LMFAO IT'S OKAY IF YOU DON'T??? J/S U NO

[therealgenius]

You don't have to do that, I'll save it and do it myself.

Omg how cute.

Wait, don't tell him I said he's cute.

Ever.

YES WELL

[manofiron]

I will be the soul of discretion, sir.

I don't think his ego really needs the boost anyway.

play with you little hose

[therealgenius]

You're the soul of a hell of a lot more than that, JARVIS.

I don't know, sometimes he doesn't seem to have an ego at all.

Email

[manofiron]

Good day, Mr. Hammer.

Enclosed is a message from Mr. Stark. Please open it when you have a few minutes of privacy at your disposal.

Sincerely,
JARVIS

[It's not at the end of the workday that his reply comes. It's roughly two hours after. That can be taken however either of them would like.]

I don't think I'm in any position to talk on the phone right now, thanks to your message. It's very much appreciated, by the way. Quite more than very much, actually.

Steaks this weekend would be preferable. I've tired myself out a bit, I think.

[It's a bit prim and proper solely because he doesn't know whether he's talking to JARVIS or Tony—if it's JARVIS, then it's fitting; if it's Tony, then it's...endearing. Or something.]

1/2

[manofiron]

Yes, sir. I shall relay the message.

[manofiron]

I will take a rain check for this weekend. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to figure out something else to make with them by then.

I'm glad you liked it. I was--I'm glad.

[therealgenius]

It was definitely creative. Not what I was expecting, either. A good surprise. One of the best I've had in a long time.

Now I'll have to figure something out for a proper reply. You know, not just an e-mail to give you the heads up I got it sort of thing. A real response.

So. Getting better with toast or just saying that?

[manofiron]

That you enjoyed it is real response enough for me. I remembered kind of belatedly that we said no dirty pictures and that was kind of more than a picture.

So far, yes. I mean, I didn't burn what I made this morning. And I didn't burn the house down or catch the toaster on fire either. That's progress, right?

[therealgenius]

Well, it came with the disclaimer to look at it when I was in private, so it's different. Not that I wouldn't have enjoyed it either way, but it was a lot better when I could be at home and have it displayed on something that wasn't my phone or a work computer (the monitor is only 22'').

So you're getting along with her, then? Not annoying you?
