[Jonathan is sitting at a desk, hands clasped in front of him, looking very professional. Also very human, since he's wearing his skin suit.]

So. In light of recent events, and the fact that Tony Stark is an asshole, it looks like StarkTech is not a thing anymore. Which also means I don't have a job anymore. If anyone knows anyone who's hiring, my skills involve building and repairing androids and robots, working with computers and infiltrating humans. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

On another note...

[He pulls out one of those novelty suckers that has a cricket inside it.]

I never knew that humans made food like this. You guys keep catching me by surprise every time I learn more about you.

[He pulls off the plastic wrapper and starts sucking on it before pulling it back out of his mouth to add.]

Oh, and Kurt? I've got one for you, too.

[Kurt's not wearing the skin suit at the moment, and looks pleasantly surprised.]

I didn't think you could get something like that on this planet.

I know, right? I had no idea either. My boyfriend found them.

[youarespecial]

Tell your boyfriend that he's fucking awesome.

[Their next meeting can't come soon enough, if Jonthan actually has one for him too.]

[drivesadesk]

Will do! He also made cookies using cricket flour.

We should have a meeting.

[He doesn't want the cookies to go stale, after all.]

[hatestrashcans]

Yup, that's humanity for you: culinary geniuses of the galaxy, apparently.

Our tech is laughable and we look ridiculous but we have cinnamon buns and cricket suckers.

[drivesadesk]

Exactly! Wow, you're the first human I've met who noticed that right off the bat.

[hatestrashcans]

I cheated; I'm from somewhere where we know some non-human species.

One of my friends is an Andalite and they're uh... a bit obsessed with human food.

[ To put it mildly ]

[drivesadesk]

Well, yeah. Who wouldn't be? I remember finding out about deep fried food, and it was so amazing.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You worked for the Tony Stark that was here?

[Video]

[drivesadesk]

Yeah...

[Video]

[mysterioisthetruth]

I've bee hearing some very negative things about him...

He's regarded as a great hero in the Earth I was recently at.

[Video]

[drivesadesk]

I mean, he seemed fine to me until this whole thing with the whole...

[He gestures wildly.]

Setting his assets to liquidate thing.

[h2no]

[predictably, he hates that lollypop, but he says nothing about it.]

Ah, this sucks. Sorry 'bout Stark. Weren't you interested in Aegis way back when?

Voice

[drivesadesk]

I was, yeah. Although I already joined the Justice League thing part time, so would that really work?

Re: Voice

[h2no]

Oh! I forgot about that! Ah-- sorry, Jon! No, no, I can't have you over workin' yourself!

[a beat:] How are... you doin'? After all that came out?

Voice

[drivesadesk]

I mean, it's pretty stressful losing that income out of nowhere, and I definitely didn't see it coming. I know some people told me Tony Stark was shady but...he'd seemed fine to me.

[hampire]

Doubtlessly there's someone here who has a need for humans to be infiltrated.

[drivesadesk]

Oh? You think so?

[hampire]

Considering the amount of nonhumans here and all.

[pidgewidgeon]

I'm drawing the line at cricket suckers. I'll eat Finn's cricket cookies, but that's just gross.

[drivesadesk]

[He shrugs.]

I don't know. I like it. But I know humans don't normally eat this kind of thing.

[pidgewidgeon]

Well you're a giant lizard, no offense, of course you like them. But hey, more for you.

[dragony]

So that guy really is gone, huh?

Stark. It's hard to imagine the guy setting up a full corporate meltdown just to go on a secret vacation.

audio;

[drivesadesk]

Apparently. Unless the guy is just secretly really into fucking himself over.

[dragony]

I can't say if I would put it past him, honestly. [ Spoilers: she hates that guy. ] What about you? Will you be alright? I don't know if you were... close, or anything.
