Day One

[tsukinofaerii]

Today, procrastination has already reached ridiculous levels. You may all look at my shiny painted nails and know this. I never paint my nails, mostly because it's too much of a pain to keep up with. They chip. They break. They get used as screw drivers and warp. (What? They're useful damn it!) Or worse, they get the dreaded Hangie, which is basically just a rough edge that cries out to be gnawed on. But they got painted. IDK PEOPLE. At least there was a valid reason for doing laundry. I would like to say that I hate daylight savings. Changing the clocks just throws me all off. D:

Tony is complaining that I'm posting this instead of the scene I'd left him in. (facepalm) And here I thought he would be digging in his heels more. Silly me.

Tony: If you would simply sit down and write, instead of employing these delaying tactics, I'm sure I could entice you to give me what I want.

Nope. Nuh-uh. Because I already know where that scene is going, and it's not there. Go entice someone else. Maybe they'll porn for you.

... Tony Stark pouting in my head should not be this cute. Why can't I have Steve ordering me around too? Oh, wait, he's busy dealing with his scene. *sigh* He'll probably yell at me soon, if I'm lucky.

ANYWAY. Today's word count so far is 1,813. That's daily and total. I'm on track! Huzzah! I'll probably write more tonight, but as of posting this, that's what I've got. Not that I'm looking at show offs who have already topped 5k or anything nooooo. :P

Today's issues were figuring out where to start. It's complicated, but I've sort of got three prologues here, and then the main beginning. None of them wanted to be written and I don't know why!

Excerpt below the cut. Of course, there be spoilers ahead.

"Stark is the one." Only a fool would have spoken to contradict him. "We have not seen such potential since the Chitauri."

"And see how that came out? Stark was one of the people who took them down!" Directly across from the leader, a tall, wide man settled back in his chair. He was built like a wall, with shoulders that belonged to a linebacker. The shirt he wore, a thin t-shirt that only just missed being black by a shade, only emphasized the power of his figure. "We're playing with fire on this one; you've all seen the newspapers. He's too erratic to risk."

I never paint my nails, mostly because it's too much of a pain to keep up with. They chip. They break. See, this is why I only paint my toenails. So then I can just put socks on and forget about the chipy paint until I finally take it off like a month later. Which I just had to do because I needed to wear open toe shoes and the half gone pink paint just wasn't a good look with them.

a thin t-shirt that only just missed being black by a shade So, just have to ask, being that these seem to be Important People, I should be picturing this as new, nearly black shirt rather than something that's seen the wash a bit too much? (Sorry, that's weird but it's the first thing that popped into my head when I read this.)

And I owe you like a million comments for everything you posted last week. Which I will get to at some unknown point in future time. But It was all very much love and your massive drabble post made me squee.

>.> I may have only just removed nail polish from May. Yeah, I know, iFail. But it was such a pretty iridescent aqua color!

Nearly new, almost black. It's actually important! \o/

lol (hugs) Thank you! The drabble post made me o-o at myself. I was like, When did this happen, Self? And Self just sort of shrugged and went back to looking at porn.

Mine was from June, if that makes things any better.

Really? And hear I figured I was just picking at silly details.

You're welcome! *hugs* And thank you for writing them.

lol It actually does!

Nope. The villains, in this case, are a bit old fashioned about their hierarchy. The use shades of grey as the visual clue in, with white as the leader and black as the n00b. Almost-black is almost-n00b.

You're welcome! (hugs) I'm glad they gave you some little bit of joy. :D

So are the villains all vampires? And does this mean that someone is going to try to be so foolish as to tell Tony that as a baby!vampire he's regulated to wearing black?

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

Possibly. And sort of. THEY HAVE PLANS. They're luckily not incompetent enough to think Tony will just fall in line.
