JUSTIN HAMMER | IRON MAN | 2/2
I got my slot for the Stark Expo confirmed today. Finally. I’ve been waiting for it for weeks now. I was starting to think that maybe Anthony was going to reject it for some reason. Resentment for me having taken over his previous position, or something like that. But the e-mail I got in return seems to be generic enough, so I’m starting to wonder if he even has a hand in choosing who’s going to present, or if he’s just doing this whole thing to stroke his enormous ego. Between you and me: Knowing him I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case.
I’m looking forward to it. It’s going to be good. No, scratch that. It’s going to be great. I just have to finish up the prototypes.
I think I mentioned in my last entry that we were going to do a test run on the current ones, and we have no. Conclusion: might have jumped the gun a bit early on this one. It wasn’t a total disaster or anything, and the pilot is fine. Relatively unscratched. Alive. But it didn’t work out quite the way I was hoping that it would. But I was excited, and it had to be tested out at some point. You can’t really blame me for it. Now I know what areas that really need to be worked on, and I’ll have my engineers get to that. Might have a harder time getting test pilots now, though, but I’m sure I’ll be able to work out something. Note to self: do that. Heh.
You know. I think having this personal blog thing was a great idea. Right now I’m just talking to myself, but I’m doing it without sounding completely crazy! And if I wanted to, I could talk to everyone on the internet, which is pretty much everyone in the world these days, which is neato, too. Maybe I should get a public one, too. Set it up on the Hammer Industries website. Though I’ll have to make sure that I put in some sort of difficult password that I won’t be able to put in when I’m drunk. I don’t want to be stupid, drunk and blogging at any time. The Social Network was a good movie.
Hammer Out.
Third Person:
Where to begin? was the only question that was on Justin’s mind as he surveyed the stretched out space in front of him.
Events were one of his favourite things about being in the position that he was in, but then again, for who wouldn’t it be? There was good food, good drink, good music and good people. Beautiful people, too, which was why he always came to these kinds of things alone, in hopes that he would find something to take home with him, if he was lucky.
He sipped the flute of champagne that he had snagged from a passing waiter, and with a bit of a jive in his step he started making his way across the room, throwing in some heys and hellos along the way. He nodded at his acquaintences that were too far off to get a verbal greeting as he passed them, making his way towards the buffet table, and then walking the length of it, back and forth. He grabbed a cracker with caviar and popped it in his mouth as he thought, and then went for a chocolate covered strawberry. Not the most ideal of combinations, but the stomach wanted what the stomach wanted, and it wasn’t the worst combination in the world either.
He considered taking another, but was distracted by a familiar head of dark hair, and if the hair hadn’t given him away, the entourage of women surrounding him would have given it away just as much. With a cocky grin spreading across his face he strode over to the group, nodding and greeting everyone in it before turning his attention to the man who was the center of attention.
“Anthony! I thought that it was you. I was wondering if I would see you here.” Justin added a friendly laugh at that, looking around for some sort of recognition over the fact that they were on a first name basis, and thus missing the roll of the other man’s eyes.
“Justin Hammer.” There was obvious annoyance in his voice, and the smile on his face was forced, though whether Justin knew it or not wasn’t clear, because either way, he acted like he didn’t. “How did you get in here?”
“Oh, always the funny man,” Justin let out another laugh at that, one that was louder than necessary for that “joke”. “I’m here for the same reasons that you’re here. Rich. Smart. Handsome.”
“I can think of several accounts of where you’re wrong in that statement,” Tony replied, clearly still annoyed as he quickly tried to make his escape. “I…see someone over there who I need to talk to. Hopefully I won’t see you later.”
Before Justin could say anything else, Tony had walked away, the majority of the group that had been surrounding him following after, though there were a few that stayed behind, although all they gave Justin were awkward smiles, before they to walked away.
If anyone had been looking closely, they would have noticed a slightly fall in his demeanour – his shoulders slumping a bit, and the smile faltering, but he shook that off of himself quickly, and laughed, making his way to the bar this time to get a stiffer drink than the champagne.
