Twenty Explosions [Accidental Video] And a man can sometimes lose

[idmakeitaweek]

[Someone is rummaging around in a cabinet, his head stuck inside it. There's the tinkling of glass hitting lightly against more glass. The person emerges to reveal Tony Stark.]

I know there was at least three more bottles. Miss Rushman ordered a case....

[He moves over to the cabinetry in the kitchen, picking the device up and taking it with him

Within the hour for Taylor means within the hour. And fifteen minutes later, Taylor's cobbled together a resume which is mostly her many skills and she's click-clacking through the lobby of the Lux.

Normally, Tony would meet Taylor in the lobby. As it is, he's just beyond the lobby in the bar area arguing with the bartender over the fact that his glasses of Scotch all end up being club soda. Tony doesn't even like club soda.

It is possible this argument can be heard in the lobby.

And hear it she does as she turns towards the bar and spots him, Tony Stark. Seth had already gone on about 4th walling the hell out of him but Taylor was a professional. If, in this reality he a) wasn't fictional and b) was willing to give her a job, well, then she too could be just as professional.

She slides into a seat at the bar and waits until there's a lull in the argument. She orders water. This is a business drink.

The bartender gives Taylor her water then makes a show of pouring another Scotch for Tony from a good bottle. He slides the drink across the bar to Tony who takes a drink.

"Apple juice. Really. They're not remotely the same color." He turns his attention to Taylor. "Miss Townsend, you'll have to pardon me. The bartender has apparently decided I'm to try sober for a change."

Three bottles of Scotch? Oh shut up! I think I'd be having a hell of a hangover now or dead by now...So, no, I haven't. Are you sure there hasn't been anyone else?

Re: [Private ]

I didn't think so.

JARVIS reports on you and Miss Rushman have been in the house. It's hardly likely Miss Rushman would take my scotch as she has to work with me entirely sober in that case.

Wait a minute what about...

Dummy? Maybe he could've taken it and hidden it somewhere or maybe...Hold on a tick--I'll check under some of the furniture.

Dummy is a possibility. I checked the liquor cabinet in the bedroom, the living room and the cabinets in the kitchen. The bottles are all missing.

I'm not even certain where you'd hide scotch.
