Gigi?

No...wait...Helen?

[livingmyths]

Re: voice;

[idmakeitaweek]

Jarvis is my computer. He runs my house.

[aregulargirl]

So have I, actually, but I think I prefer the kidnapping situations at home. I know better what to expect.

audio; a challenger appears

Re: audio; a challenger appears

[idmakeitaweek]

[caughtthebullet]

[Really, saying I am Iron Man never gets old. Neither does people recognizing him]

[justcautious]

Blimey. This City's amazing!

[idmakeitaweek]

Well it is now.

[Yes he has to flex the ego to it's maximum in front of someone who knows him]

Tony Stark, but you know that. And you are?
