He's staring down at the arc reactor in his chest and holding the camera out with one hand so the top half of his body is visible.

I think I like aliens...

Maybe you're one.

[the_ironman]

Why would I be on a cruise ship?

Aside from the women here being abnormally attractive.

[thegooddrjones]

Maybe you're here because the women are abnormally attractive.

That really is cool, though.

[the_ironman]

Right.

Well.

I'm here on a mission to investigate attractive Earth inhabitants. Would you like to volunteer your time to my dying planet's cause?

[bob_fraser_snr]

Is it painful?

[the_ironman]

[Video] Aw. HARREH!

[He shrugs and puts on a pretty goofy grin, but his tone isn't disrespectful so much as it's cheeky. Amnesia Tony is going back to basics.]

I'd like to know you.

[whateverthemess]

Sorry, pal. I get the feeling I'm not that easy.

[She eyes him.] You're cute though. I'll give you that.

Luckily, I don't particularly need easy. Or, alternately, that's what I'd say if I was myself.

This really feels like a force of habit, doesn't it? Blondes. I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from.

[the_ironman]

Absolutely. It felt like the onset of a heart attack, so I put it back in. It's obviously a vital piece of equipment.
