Who: Victor von Doom, Tony Stark, and Pepper Potts
NPCs: waitstaff, patrons
When: Lunch. April 15th, 2009
Where: Chanterelle, NYC.
What: Victor just has to meet everyone's favorite industrialist. Naturally, he has designs of his own.
Rating: PG
The restaurant Ms. Potts had suggested was nice. The ambiance, the friendly and attentive waitstaff... Victor didn't appreciate that. He didn't care about the presentation of the food as it was served to the next table or the list of awards won by their chef and their wine, excellent as it was. What he appreciated, as was often the case with him, was that other people cared about it. It gave the place an air of importance and that was right where he belonged, amid prestige. He would have to commend Ms. Potts later.
He sat in the middle of the room, alone with his coffee. Two chairs empty chairs sat at equal distance from him around the table. They weren't late - not yet, at least - but due any minute. It would be interesting to see how Stark actually operated in a business setting. The stories Victor heard were incredible, making the man sound incompatible with the functioning world. Tony's reputation played no small part in the fact that Victor had never tried to establish a relationship between their companies.
Then Tony Stark, the playboy manchild, went and did something crazy. He went and made himself a superhero. The move was brilliant. Even Victor had to concede that. The buzz surrounding Stark and his company since he went public was deafening. Speculation was rampant and it was entirely in Stark's favor. Who knew what he'd do next? Now Victor had a dozen reasons to establish ties. He had things to offer in return, but who knew what would appeal to the likes of "Iron Man"?
He'd never admit it, let alone show it, but Victor was excited for this meeting.
