[ MINGLE ] FORGE AFTER HOURS

WHO: Tony Stark
WHERE: South Village Forge
WHEN: January 8th
OPEN TO: Smitherns (Thor, Brigitte, Annie Cresta, Siefer), Plus Ones, Passers by, and Friends! Anyone, really, come on down.
WARNINGS: Language, discussion of canon typical violence probably, drinking?



THE HEARTH

With the bulk of the work and chores done for the day, the heart's banked down to a tolerable level rather than steel meltingly hot, positively cozy. Tables are cleared of metal filings and shavings, the floor is swept, extra chairs and seating or overturned crates serve as places to kick back and enjoy the warmth. A large kettle of tea is kept brewing all night, another of coffee, and a jug of cool water for those thirsty with no real requirement RE flavor. There's a rack for coats and scarves when people don't need to be quite so bundled up, and space cleared enough for milling about, tossing ideas back and forth, or simply relaxing. Arguments happen at The Debate Wall, not by the fire.



THE FOOD

It's an eclectic spread- a pot of stew, some crusty bread, frittatas, a few large, simple cheese pizzas, bottles of wine, and whatever other food the Smitherns or their Plus Ones chose to bring. It's a bit of a potluck, food spread out on one table for perusal, plates waiting and a bin for dirty dishes. Tony will scrub up at the end of the night. By the fire there's a waffle iron and as many toppings as they could find for waffles- jams, zalpaca butter, dried fruit, preserved peaches. Serve yourself or sit and sample!



THE CHILL OUT CORNER

For the more introspective or anyone taking a break from The Debate Wall, there's a comfortable chair tucked in the far corner where the light isn't as bright, the sound not quite so loud- and in this chair sits a young Peacat, a smaller pot for tea, and a few books. Elton's a friendly sort and will chirrup to lean for pets or simply sit on a lap and purr, offering calming, quiet company.



THE DEBATE WALL

Scrubbed clean for the night, the wall opposite Tony's Scrawled projects, equations, rules and definitions- currently marked only with a few notes RE proper charcoal use 'It's for the wall, not your hands, not anyone's clothes', the large space cleared for marking out or drawing out- well. Games, hangman, tic-tac-toe, sketches, or debate points. The only other rule listed is 'If you're going to pick a hill to die on, cite your references'.

Debate Wall oh lord

Tony's broken out the wine for this occasion - Rhodey has his suspicions as to why - so once he's handed off the waffle station to someone he trusts not to set the batter on fire and to understand the correct ration of bacon to batter for the Rhodes family Brinner classic (it's Bruce, obviously) he wanders in the direction of shit talking.

His look is more than vaguely skeptical as he takes a sip of red wine. "If your reality has only one or the other, do you count as an unreliable source for this debate? You might say that that which you don't know is always going to seem more dangerous than what you do." Rhodey wouldn't necessarily agree, but his particular view on things isn't really the point.

"The entire point is that the existence of dragons are an exception not a constant in the various realities." Malik shrugged, "Not whether or not they are dangerous or which is more dangerous."

It's probably the debate wall doing it - the debate wall does it so much - but Malik is immediately giving off a familiar vibe. It's not, unfortunately, the vibe of deja vu we've met somewhere before but the vibe of smartest-soldier-in-the-Pentagon. Rhodey arches a brow as he swirls his glass. "My mistake." He pauses. "My guess is the sample size here is going to be skewed. Could be wrong, of course."

"I do not mind being proven wrong with facts, but stomping one's feet and insisting on something being true without evidence to do so not change it. Having personally witnessed twenty-two different realities, only three had dragons as currently existing or doing so within living memory."
