[She's got this thing figured out. Well, except for the video. But, hey audio works. She taps at it experimentally.]
Hopefully, this is transmitting.
[And then, carefully, she clears her throat.]
I have no idea what I was expecting when I walked out those door when I arrived, but it certainly wasn't running for my life.
[Margaret pauses thoughtfully, just long enough to where there's silence on the line.]
All I want right now is a very stiff drink. I assume someone has recommendations.

[He speaks from experience. And like that woman isn't also his roommate.]

...Well, or she won't make knishes for dinner and our roommates will kill me.
[Tony lets out an easy laugh, undermining his seemingly grim warning.]

[He laughs again, but his voice is serious as he adds...]
Nat, the redhead, isn't someone to cross though, so that warning does stay. She's a fairly good bartender, but I wouldn't trust her with your secrets if I were you.

[Margaret's not perfect at keeping her mouth shut, but when it calls for it, she's decent enough. Hopefully.]
[Voice]

[Shit. Then she might have heard of him. And not in the best light.]
I'm guessing you've heard of me, then? Tony Stark. I assure you that most of the rumors are true.
[It was better to get it out in the open instead of dancing around the issue.]

[He's completely forgotten about the time shenanigans this place is fond of.]
Or maybe Okinawa? I know Rhodey used to vacation up to Seoul whenever he got leave there.

Well, if you want to know anything about the future, I'm your man. Well, about one specific future--there seem to be an infinite number of parallel Earths. The math is fascinating.
Re: voice
[Margaret frowns. She can't refute it.]
Well, I guess there's an awful lot of proof in favor for me to sit here and shake my head at it.

That's a far healthier idea than the denial most people wallow in for a few weeks. Have a drink or two today, complain about the things you'll miss from your world, and then start accepting that this place is real.
It's not going anywhere, after all. And you probably aren't either.
