WHO: Tony Stark and Nebula
WHAT: An adventure through the doors.
WHERE: It might be an alien planet.
WHEN: Saturday, Feb 1

Tony hadn’t been all that picky when choosing a door, given that his first option when opening it didn’t involve being underwater or just the deep, black, vastness of space. No, when he opened it up, it just looked a bit like the bustle of a large city — both somehow futuristic and primitive at the same time.

It was an alien planet, he could tell that much since there seemed to be a few different sorts of races wandering around what seemed like some kind of night market. It worked out well, considering the company he’d picked for the night.

“This is going to be great for the learning translation program I’ve been writing in my spare time,” Tony told Nebula, adjusting his sunglasses even as he watched the road ahead of him and the words popping up on his frames. FRIDAY was taking in the ambient noises of foreign conversation around him and trying to piece it together into something knowable. “So, hey,” he went on, ever snappy with conversation, and more than willing to carry on more than one at a time. “Lucky you for not getting stuck with anyone you’d have had to murder last week.”

Adding more people to their circle wasn't really Tony's plan, at least not when it came to the doors (although, he had found Nebula that way, so maybe ... well. Who knew) so much as being able to properly communicate. A place like this seemed like it might go on the barter and trading system, which would be infinitely easier with proper communication under their belts. "Why wouldn't I share it?" He asked. "It's basically just information, and that should always be free." Not all of his designs were, but he'd figure out a way to make this accessible.

It always felt a little it like winning, whenever he got Nebula to smile that secret little smile of hers. It was small, but it was there and that was a lot more than he might have been able to say when they'd first met. So it made him smile too, wide and bright.

"Not really anything," he admitted to what he was searching for. "After being stuck with someone else for a week... I don't know. Things just start to get claustrophobic in that little town. I just wanted to stretch my legs a little." The market was interesting though, and he didn't mind pausing to check things out here and there.
