Crappy Motel, Buffalo, Wednesday Morning

[tyler_gone]

Tyler had a feeling he was going to have that black eye for a long fucking time. It was all right. It helped draw attention from the swollen jaw.

He'd finally tracked down a Fight Club branch that was more than a couple drunk guys who liked to pound on each other. It wasn't a terrorist cell, yet, but he could tell they were on the brink. So he'd gone to a meeting and tried to fight his way into a position of influence.

The problem was, he was way out of practice. He'd beaten the numbnuts who called himself Tyler, but the fight had left him in a sorry state. He winced when he checked himself in the mirror of his motel room. He had a feeling people in Fandom would have something to say about the way he looked. Hell, he had something to say about the way he looked, and it wasn't very nice.

Ice pack against his chin and feeling a bit sorry for himself, he pulled out his phone and texted Tony.

buffalo = rainy. me = beat up but ok. you?

[OOC: NFB. For Tony, please.]

If it helped him get over getting the crap kicked out of him...

You can explain that to Pepper.

Tyler laughed, now, which hurt his face again.

could just send her over with a steak + tell her to feed your new pet.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

I'll tell her to blame you.

Like that would help.

[tyler_gone]

i'd take the blame. He so would, actually. what should i name it? thinking fluffy.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Fluffy? Better off getting that facial tattoo, Tyler.

Maybe Tony?

[tyler_gone]

If you had a facial tattoo, you could get away with calling your tiger Fluffy.

too obvious. also too confusing.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Name another tiger then.

[tyler_gone]

woods?

Which would suck ass as a name for a tiger, but whatever.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that will go over well.

Tony. Pot, kettle...

[tyler_gone]

i am not naming my imaginary tiger after you, tony.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

It's a symbol of your love. Like the ice sculptures.

[tyler_gone]

some say love, it is a razor. and you're still a dick.

Which meant 'i miss you.'

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Please. I'm the wing beneath your wings.

Which might have meant 'You can't sing' and a hint of 'Love you'.
