Who: Currently Tony Star, Merry & Pippin. Consider this an open log.
Where: Las Vegas, Nevada (Also, Bat Country)
When: Assume tonight, but I'll admit he's totally lost track.
What: Shameless Ripping off of Hunter S. Thompson Source Material, and also hijinx
Rating: I don't even know. Seriously. Assume he'll swear, and I promise no hot hobbit action, but I also cannot promise that Tony won't lose his pants at some point.

Don't worry, I swear an intervention is inevitable.

Tony couldn't state with certainty where they had rented (or borrowed, or bought) the red convertible. He was pretty sure it wasn't stolen, but that was hours ago, long before he'd found the sweet white hat and nifty yellow sunglasses.

He was drawing the line at the cigarette holder. That shit would kill you.

"Well, gentlehobbits. Where to next?"

Merry too had aquired sunglasses and was finding them very entertaining. They'd no doubt be useless when he eventually returned to England--sunshine wasn't an easily-found commodity there--but they were enjoyable now. Even at night. Las Vegas contained a great deal of neon. "How would we know?" he pointed out. His job on this trip was to be the voice of reason, it seemed. He wasn't very good at it. "It's our first time time here, after all. What haven't we done yet?"

	"Well, we're not hitting the cathouses, or the stupid fly-over-the-Grand-Canyon tourist trap stuff. You guys hungry?" He already knew the answer to that. Tony had learned early on that hobbits were effectively hungry at all times. (Reply to this)

	Merry covered Pippin's mouth with his hand before the other hobbit could wax eloquent about how hungry he was. "Yes," he said firmly. "Yes, we are. What's open at this time of night?" He thought about it. "Scratch that. Everything's open at this time of night here. What sort of food are we after?" He thought about it some more. "I suggest pancakes." (Reply to this)

That should kill two birds with one stone, he thought to himself as he parked the car. Hobbits would eat, and he could think of what the hell to tell Pepper when she got here.

Granted, she hadn't agreed yet. It was unsettling to think she might tell him no. He'd been throwing himself fully into two things since he'd gotten stuck here; remake the company and do everything he could to not dwell on the fact Pepper hadn't made it here. Navi was a great assistant, but she wasn't the woman he... Fuck. He couldn't go there yet, not even in his own head. But it was a lot closer than he would like to admit.

She had to come. Right?

She loved Damon, really she did, but sometimes Elena just wanted to get away from everything dealing with vampires and supernatural stuff. Sometimes she just wanted to go back to having a normal life, and the guy who invited her to Las Vegas for drinks seemed like a good distraction. Of course if Damon found out, he'd probably flip and go kill someone or drink someone, but Elena never really thought that far ahead.

"So, this is all for fun, right? Nothing weird, nothing unusual, just a party?"

It felt like it had taken forever since she was able to get from where she'd been dropped off to Las Vegas. She'd wound up several countries away, and through lots of portal hopping, she was finally there in Vegas. That had been a nightmare. Though finally she had taken a taxi and gotten to the place where he had told her to come.

She wandered in just after the brunette, and glanced over. "Not unless you count a middle aged man probably running around in his underwear eventually, not weird at all."

	She raised an eyebrow at the redhead. "Running around in his underwear?" Elena laughed a little and shook her head. "Maybe it's better if I don't ask about that." After all, that was fairly normal to her life, all things considered. "Oh, I'm Elena Gilbert. Sorry, bad manners." (Reply to this) (Parent)

Tony blinked at the newcomer, grinning at Elana, "No, it really is just drinking ourselves stupid and pretending our troubles away..."

The voice drew him up short though, and before turning around he had to heave a theatrical sigh. "Pepper, do you see the boxers? No? Then the pants are on. Navi exaggerates."

He turned around, and in an instant he had run to Pepper, swept her into his arms and kissed her within an inch of her life. Relatively speaking.

"Not yet, but I figured that the night is young and you've only just got here." After he started drinking of course. Though she'd just be waiting for the moment when they did come off before she went and tried to put them back on him. That was always entertaining for people watching.

Before she got a chance to say anything else, she was swept up and kissed. Well that was a surprised. Apparently he really had missed her. She put her arms around him and kissed him back.

"It's good to see you too, sir."

"I had to teach French. In a high school. It's been months, and you weren't here," the words rushed out as he kept kissing whatever he could reach; the lips, part of the chin, tip of the nose, dangerously close to an eyelash...

"Pepper, I don't know how it happened, I don't know what any of it is, but you have to trust me, okay?" He would calm down in a second, but right now the important thing was she was here.

Clearly teaching French in a high school was the worst thing ever. Poor rich playboy. She almost wanted to pat his back and tell him that it was okay. Too bad she was being kissed all over and couldn't do any of that.

"Okay, I'll trust you. Because there are hobbits, eating.. breakfast over there.." And they were in Las Vegas, and it wasn't like she wasn't used to weird things.

As long as he kept his pants on.

"Oh, yeah. And Harry Potter is over there with the girl wizard eating with them, and this lady is a vampire. I don't know where she's from, but whatever, you'll get used to it." He'd stopped kissing her long enough to talk, if only because he knew she'd want to do that for awhile. Women.

"So it was only this morning? That you saw me last, I mean? Einstein would have a field day with this place..."

Merry wasn't actually eating anymore. This was because he was laughing himself sick. Not literally. He was trying to keep it unobtrusive, but it was difficult. Next to him, Pippin was going "What? What's so funny? Did I miss something?" He couldn't wait to meet this redheaded woman who clearly threw Tony for a loop. Anyone who could manage that was someone he wanted to know.

For now, he turned to Elena, still chuckling. "I can't promise nothing weird or unusual, not with this group, but the idea was just a party, yes." Merry grinned. "Meriadoc Brandybuck at your service. This short fellow is Pippin." All right, Pippin was only an inch or so shorter, but it counted. Especially when you were a hobbit.

	Elena looked down and tried not to show her surprise at the two... men? "Meriadoc. Nice to meet you. And Pippin." She stuck her hand out to shake theirs. "Elena Gilbert. I'm just looking for something sort of normalish... party, drinking, that sort of thing?" No need to tell them it had been her birthday and no one had remembered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	merryesquire 2011-10-10 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	"You can call me Merry." The hobbit grinned. "Meriadoc is reserved for special occasions, such as when I feel like showing off. So far as I know the only plan is food, drink, and company. If you have a seat and join us we'll be well on our way to accomplishing all three." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notkatherine 2011-10-11 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Merry. Okay, nice to meet you." Elena sat down to join the pair, and once she was sitting and able to face them straight-on, it was so much better. "So... how did you get an invite to this thing? The playboy invited me and I've been warned against him." (Reply to this) (Parent)

She mouthed the words Harry Potter and looked a little stunned. Somehow the vampire thing didn't phase her as much as hobbits and Harry Potter. Because Pepper actually read books. Imagine that. "That's.." she didn't even know the words, which was funny because apparently she liked to talk. Hmph.

"Right, this morning. Everything was rather.. the same. I tried to get you to do things, and you refused to do them and went to work in your.. whatever you call it." Lab? Man Cave? Whatever. And she did notice the hobbits staring.

	Tony couldn't stop touching her, and for him, it was downright appropriate touching. He only came close to boob once. "I think I started calling it the Fortress of Solitude. At least in my head." He leaned in and kissed her again, turning them so his back was to the hobbits. "Don't worry, I started rebuilding it here." (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-08 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	As long as it was appropriate and she didn't have to smack him one. At least in this reality she didn't have to worry about people she knew watching. Pepper rolled her eyes a bit but kissed him anyway. "You'll have to catch me up when we've got the time." And he wasn't distracted by her obvious wily charms. (Reply to this)

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-08 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	Tony leaned in, lowering his voice so the peanut gallery couldn't hear. "I know it's like I was never gone, so it seems crazy. But... I really missed you." An earnest Tony was a rare Tony. He was sure if he laid down it would pass. (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-08 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	He was going to say that a lot, wasn't he? She cupped his cheek with her hand and kissed him again. "I'm glad you missed me. I'd miss you too if you were gone." She didn't want him to think that she wouldn't. And she certainly wouldn't have wanted to be here without him. (Reply to this)

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-09 06:09 am UTC (link)
	Tony grinned, giving her a quick wink. "I know. I'm adorable." He squeezed her hip slightly, grabbing her other hand and dragging her over to the rest of the group. "Come on, you need to meet them, they're not going to get taller." (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-09 06:45 am UTC (link)
	And just like that, Pepper was playfully rolling her eyes. "Don't push it." Letting him take her hand, she wandered over to the table with the others and smiled. "Hello, I'm Pepper," she greeted the rest. They were totally not getting any taller. (Reply to this)

"Pleasure to meet you, Pepper." Merry did look as though it was a pleasure. His eyes were twinkling. "Tony's mentioned you. Your firey beauty, intelligent and capable brain, and the inexplicable fact that you're actually willing to put up with him despite all logic."

Merry wasn't familiar with the term wingman, but he knew the concept. Besides, it might annoy Tony, and teasing Tony was one of his favorite pastimes. It was almost as good as teasing Pippin.

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-10 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	At the moment, Tony couldn't really manage to be annoyed at anything. Giving Merry a thumbs up over Pepper's shoulder, he found that once he was smiling, it was hard to stop. It'd definitely pass. Sooner or later. Maybe thirty or so years. (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-11 12:06 am UTC (link)
	Oh well then. Flattery will get you everywhere. "Oh he has, has he?" she glanced over at Tony before looking at Merry. "And I see that he's been coaching you on what to say when I got here too." Like she was going to believe for a second that Tony hadn't put him up to that. Or maybe he hadn't. Still she wanted to tease them back a little. (Reply to this)
