      _{he followed his lead and nodded at tony’s words.   ‘  trust me, i’ve smelled terrible before. ’  digging up graves will do that to you.} 

once tony’s sure the other male is following, he’ll strike up further conversation, arms crossing once he’s hit the down button at the elevator.   ❛ what’s the worst smell you’ve encountered? tell me the situation. everything involved. ❜

tobeblamed.

     _{‘ the … thirteenth floor?  ’     he huffs, as he can’t ignore the irony of it.      ‘   naturally. ’}     

❛ i know, i know… i was a bit — put off by that little fact. ❜   tony shrugs, but he’s turning to lead the way to the elevator now.   ❛ gotta warn you, though, it smells terrible. just be prepared. ❜

tobeblamed.

      _{‘  that’s fine …           sure.  ’        he’s quite reluctant still.       ‘   y’know, it still doesn’t sound like my kinda problem, though.  for all we know, some lunatic dug up a bunch of corpses and hid them inside your building.  ’}

❛ no, that’s not possible. this entire building is connected to my own system that wouldn’t let anyone in or out without a record being made of it. ❜   truth be told, and foolishly, tony’s offended — but just a little bit. he takes pride in his inventions.   ❛ let’s just check it out… it’s the thirteenth floor. ❜

tobeblamed.

        _{‘       rotten body parts?  … did you check inside the walls?  ’}

❛ ———— no i did not. looking back, i feel like that should have been one of the first things we did. ❜   it’s not like tony is hurting for money. he can afford to remodel an entire floor… or all of them.   ❛ you willing to check with me? ❜

tobeblamed.

      _{‘   alright, i’ll deal with y’er car later  … what about the financial department?  any strange deaths?  ’}

❛ fair enough —— and no, not yet. but odd smells. and not like rotting food, but like rotting body parts. no one even wants to be on that floor anymore. i’ve tried looking, and so has head of my security team, but neither of us can find anything. we wanted to call you before we got, uh, the police involved. ❜

       _{‘   he’s sittin’ this one out … so, what do we got here?  ’}

❛ mm, it’s actually a two parter. one, i need help with one of my cars, and i hear you’re pretty good with older ones. two, pretty sure something’s going on in the company. financial department to be specific. ❜

tobeblamed.

     _{‘  well, we were expected by mr. stark, after all.  ’}

❛ good answer. your brother here too, or are you flying solo? ❜

❛ wow, uh… you got here fast. ❜ | @tobeblamed
