WHAT: Movie Marathoning
STATUS: On going

After deciding with Steve that a marathon of all the movies involving the master of narrowing gazes Bruce Willis,  the young heir decided to make an actual deal about it inviting all the guys and Jane. Admittedly Jane was a late addition to the party, but the girl likes science and Thor seemed a lot more cheerful around her than he had been before Christmas., which only added to the reasons of inviting her because it could even mean Thor would less likely to get onto his case about the last quidditch match if she was around to distract him.

Having a flair for grandeur, Tony arranged for cars to pick the others up like always, and on arrival Jarvis would then lead those arriving to the small home theatre with comfortable recliner chairs with a nice big screen. Tony however wont be there for who ever first arrives, as he is in the garage fastening the last bolts of the engine he's been working on all year into his cars chassis, dressed only in a tank top, sweat pants, he couldn't even be bothered with shoes or socks today.

Jane watches him struggle with no small amount of amusement. Leave it to Tony to completely get lost in his work.

In a way, he was a lot like her. She tended to do that too -- get so caught up in her research and studying and working and curiousity about everything ever that sometimes she forgets to even eat.

She gives him a little lopsided smirk, and folds her arms over her chest.

"Tony, it is Wednesday."

[arrogantalloy]

Tony nods a little to agree with her.

"Huh. Really?"

He stops and tilts his head, before raising his voice a little as he moves away from the car.

"Jarvis?"

There's a pause as a nearby intercom comes to life.

"Sir?"

"Is it really Wednesday?"

"Indeed it is, sir. In fact it was also Wednesday when I found you were still in your garage at 6am this morning."

"Hmm. Well that solves it. And you're the only one here? Wait, if you found me... How long have you been here? Because well, this is sort of.. Out of the way."

[rosenbridges]

See, she's right.

"Uh..." She shrugs. "I think I am. And I dunno...like...an hour?" Maybe. Something like that. She's been wandering around for a while.

[arrogantalloy]

He watches her for a moment that was probably longer than it needed to be.

"You need Ice tea"

He points to her, as if there was someone else in the room undeserving of a drink therefore she needed to be pointed out specifically, then he just starts heading out of the garage, his feet slapping against the cold floor. Because Tony's just used to people following him when he does things like this.

[rosenbridges]

Tony, that's creepy.

"Um."

She blinks at him, then just...follows after. Because why not? Besides, iced tea sounded really good right now.

"How long were you out here working on that thing? Since six this morning? Really?"

[arrogantalloy]

He doesn't mean it, it just tends to happen because he keeps thinking without realising he's still staring.

"Well, if you mean the whole car. Two years, but only because well, Hogwarts doesn't really have shop class. But I've been working on installing the engine since... Sunday night? Well not just the engine, I was checking wiring, clearing out pipes. You'd be surprised how dirty things get when you only come home a few times a year to maintain things. And re clean the part of the engine I didn't take to Hogwarts this year."

Without paying any attention to the decorated but obviously unused surrounds, Tony leads her back to the theatre room, where he knows there's drinks.

[rosenbridges]

She's still marveling at both her surroundings and Tony's ability to continuously talk without breathing as they walk back to the theater room.

"I'm lucky. Selvig is as into science as I am. When I come home, my telescope has always been dusted for me. I think he uses it when I'm not around."

[arrogantalloy]

"You know, if I thought Jarvis was playing with my cars while I was gone, I'd kind of find that a little weird. What kind of science is he into? Selvig."

Tony walks past a mirror in the hallway then stops and gets in front of the mirror and looks at himself.

"Huh. Why didn't you tell me this was such a good look?"

Because yeah, Tony hasn't looked at himself in days.

[rosenbridges]

"Uh-- same as me." She nearly bumps into him when he stops, and rocks back on her heels a little with a polite cough.

"Er, I didn't--"

Tony you love making Jane awkward don't you just admit it.

[arrogantalloy]

He grins as she bumps into him, then runs his hand through his hair, looking at himself a moment longer before looking back at her.

"I should probably change, and clean up a bit. Want to go back to the theatre, or wait in my room? I probably won't be long"

Of course he does, but really he likes doing it to anyone, Janes just a new and fun target.

[rosenbridges]

"I should probably head to the theater." Just in case Thor shows up plus hanging out in Tony's room while he showers and changes is evern more awkward.

"I'll see you there then, yeah?"

[arrogantalloy]

He smirks.

"Well that's almost bad for the self esteem." But then he nods.

"Want me to take you the rest of the way, or have you got this?"

[rosenbridges]

"I think I can make it." She peeks out the door.

"If I get lost, I'll just...call for Jarvis."

[arrogantalloy]

Nodding Tony grins.

"Just look for the white panel with the one button and a speaker. He'll answer every time you use it. Only the one's in the garage and my room are voice activated. Have fun, kitten."

[rosenbridges]

She'd swat him if she was close enough.

"Sure, sure. See you soon, Tony."

[arrogantalloy]

Tony doesn't say anything, just waves in her general direction as he heads off to have a shower.
