[ He's pouting. Pouting and twirling a pen between his fingers. Also, there's a distinctive lack of facial hair and wrinkles on his face.

Guess who's in his vague late teens-early twenties? This guy. ]

Have I mentioned yet that I hate magic?

Because I really hate magic.

[ And then there's a scoff, sitting back. ]

But hey, at least it's nice to not run on batteries.

[ A tch, and then it ends. ]

[video] I'M SORRY EXCEPT NOT REALLY

[mostqualified]

Oh my god. What happened to you?

video. OF COURSE YOU AREN'T

[repulsors]

What's it look like? I, uh, I magically fell into a time vortex. How's that sound?

[ pause. ]

—wait a second, are you older than me now? This is wrong. This is wrong and I demand a do-over. Or equivalence. Why aren't you different too?

[chums]

[Guess who's about the same age as you and has a distinctive lack of muttonchops and scars.

BUT HE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE THIS TIME. He knows. No more mistaking you for Holmes, Tony.]

Funny, chum. It's like you're implying that you hate magic.

video.

[repulsors]

Oh, was I not clear enough? I hate magic.

[ But wait. Eyes narrowed. Staring. Thinking. Who is this. He knows the voice. He called him chum. Who is this?



Holy shit. ]

Holy shit, your muttonchops are gone. Now what'm I supposed to call you?

video

[stungun]

How come?

video.

[repulsors]

Uh, hello? I'm- god, I don't even know what age I'm supposed to be right now. But I'm definitely older than this. I can go buy booze. Normally. And now I can't. This better not be permanent.

[minifridge]

Oh stop complaining, you look fine.

[Better than fine. Hush.]

video.

[repulsors]

[ Well, now that he's not old enough to be her father, is it still awkward?

....yeah, still awkward. ]

Oh, I know I do. But uh, not really the best years of my life, I'd rather not relive them? God, I hope I don't have to go back to school. Bunch of plebeians.

2/2 oops video.

[repulsors]

[...realization!! ]

—wait, you're not gonna- ban me from the still, are you? I mean. We're. Around the same age now? And it was also half my idea, so you, you can't really do that.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

[Look, he knows you're frustrated or whatever, but that comment.]

Don't blame magic--blame the ones who decided this was a good idea.

video.

[repulsors]

Maybe so, but see— it was done with magic. Probably. Unless they figured out some secret way to slip it into the food.

[ And there's a flick of his hand. Sorry, Merlin. ]

Don't trust magic. Never have. And this? This gives me even less reason to.

video;

[sc4l3s]

Really! If this is what magic does, I'm all for it.

video.

[repulsors]

Seriously? Why? This sucks. It's like- like Return to the Future or that one episode of Futurama. I feel like I've gone back in time.

video;

[oxbridgethegap]

Well. [Charles chuckles with good humour. He's seen many Travelers affected by whatever spell the gods have decided to release on the city, but at least it seems relatively harmless. Just a simple change of appearances.]

At least your appearance now matches your general behaviour.

video.

[repulsors]

[ Yeah, laugh it up, buddy. You'll get your comeuppance someday. Somehow. And not from Tony. Probably. ]

Oh, come on. I'm more mature than this. Mostly. [ Not really. ] From time to time. And- hey, you haven't even known me for that long. I can be mature, just ask Pepper.

[holyfight]

Run on batteries?

What's that mean?

video.

[repulsors]

I'm like a— [ Hm. The arc reactor is something of a secret. Maybe he shouldn't have mentioned it. Oops. ] Like a robot, I guess. I need to plug in and recharge from time to time.

video

[gelbana]

Tutturu~

Do you run on batteries?

Like future gadgets?

[She doesn't get what's going on. ]

video.

[repulsors]

A future gadget? Yeah, something like that.

[ Oh man, if only he had his armor to show her. ]

I even have lasers, from time to time. Or, well, repulsor beams, technically. But lasers happen too.

[video] /late to the party

[extraordinarymuse]

[Kate's just going to snicker for a moment.]

Maybe they just targeted people with that mentality. Just to screw with you.

video. you're never late get in here

[repulsors]

Not you, too. C'mon, do- do you guys really think I act like that? I can build robots, I run a company!

[ Well, Pepper runs it, but. Technicalities. ]

I get no support from you guys, seriously.

[digophelia]

What happened this time that I missed?

video.

[repulsors]

[ He'll point to his face. ]

See this handsome mug? I know, I'm in love, too. But uh, usually there's less baby fat, a little more...refined look. And my goatee.

[ And he flops back in his chair. He's totally not pouting, what are you talking about. ]

I'm like, double this age. Normally. I'm assuming it's a trick from the "gods". But it sucks.

[video]

[highstakesgame]

And what's so wrong with magic?

video.

[repulsors]

Uh, everything? When it can turn a grown man into a snot-nosed teenager. As evidenced by, well, myself. And a bunch of other people too, apparently. Also when it's used for kidnapping and other various and sundry crimes.

[pratentious]

Ah. It's you. The - one that likes to complain a great deal.

[ This sure is how Arthur's remembering your face, Tony. Don't you feel honoured? ]

You seem to have lost a few years about you but other than that respect, I don't see that much of anything has changed.

[repulsors]

[ He's totally honored. Totally. Maybe. Who are you again? ]

Find me someone around here who doesn't complain, pal. I can almost guarantee you, it won't happen.

[ And he'll shake his head, running his hand back through his hair. ]

And- I don't even talk to you, seriously, I don't get any respect at all. What is this? A mutiny? Conspiracy? Intervention?

[video]

[wasthemaster]

What precisely is wrong with magic? Unless you mean the magic here which is absolutely pathetic. [Only one who hasn't been hit with the age-changing curse would say such a thing, really.]

video.

[repulsors]

The magic here is pathetic, huh? Lemme guess, you're some..LARPer who thinks they're actually from Pigfarts or something, right? Hate to break it to you, blondie, but Pigfarts isn't real. [ There's a roll of his eyes. ] You can drop your little magic wand and come back to the real world now.
