+1 i've made a huge mistake

[mashedpotatoes]

(life mottos to live by)




And then everyone's nightmare became reality. Only not really because how much damage can he actually do?

Hi, everyone, my name is Hanne and I'm going to be bringing in Justin Hammer from MCU canon here, after eyeing this game up for ages through Arisa, your Astrid and now Peggy.

Justin here is going to be in District 12 with a score of 6, so not too terrible. It could be a lot worse. That's what he'll be focusing on, at least. I have my app up if anyone wants to further look into motivations etc, I'm not sure if anyone would but there it is. + I swear I'm working on getting everything up and running for the journal I just wasn't expecting to get accepted so fast. But gosh I am super excited.

Justin will be brought in canonwise directly post Stark Expo at the end of IM2. Well, technically during, it'll be approximately right when Natasha slams him onto the table, and when he wakes up he'll be assuming that this is some sort of high security prison that he's been brought to. I am a staunch believer that Justin definitely never intended for any of that to happen, he was naive and thought that Vanko wouldn't go against him since he broke him out etc, but his naivety is also his downfall. So he'll be a little humble at first, but as time goes by he'll bounce back up to his normal annoying level of confident.

I am all for plotting and CR and cross canon CR and everything, over the weekend I'm going to be rereading THG and probably rewatching the films too.

Feel free to add and ping me on plurk justinhammer, I'm on GMT+1 but I stay up late so I am around a lot.

YAaaaaay!

[mashedpotatoes]

shrieking @ that icon oh buckaroo you are so majestic.

[tookthewheel]

Hydra picked him because he's so pretty clearly

[mashedpotatoes]

that is a pretty valid reason though lbr he is a beauty.

[justoutrunyou]

Well hello there!

I'm Al and I play a few characters, Ruffnut of District 7, Harley Quinn of District 9, and an AU of Azula who was born, raised and became a mentor for District 5.

But most important to you is this one here. Sandy Marko of District 12. She's from an AU Marvel future where New York was separated from the rest of the US and all sorts of bad police state type stuff. So she knows OF the Marvel heroes but before the hunger games never met any of them except Spider-man. She's also the Daughter of The Sandman. Fun!

She's been in six going on seven arenas so she's died alot and gotten alot tougher then most kids her age. She would greet Justin in his intro post but unfortunately she kinda got arrested recently so he won't chance running into her till arena time.

But I totally look forward to CR with you!

[mashedpotatoes]

Justin has come in at a very very unfortunate time, it seems. Oh well. :'D All the more fun. He's hardly a hero though so if she doesn't know him, well, he'll be glad for that. Generally when people know him it doesn't lend itself too well.

I greatly look forward to it with you as well!

[stotte]

LOOK AT CHU TALKING ME UP
not that i mind it

[mashedpotatoes]

u r my princess

[bravebargain]

Beautiful.

Hi Hanne and welcome to the Games! I'm Yatsu and I play obscure character (Mariko Shinobu D11) and Disney Princess (Belle D6)

let's do stuff together

[mashedpotatoes]

Hello! And eep! Thank you so much.

We should definitely do stuff together. Oh poor Belle, however will she handle the games. Bless. :'D

[bravebargain]

Yess. This is quite lot to take in haha. And hey, she's new too so this is going to be her first arena. Let's them be newbies together.

Also woah! I'm Gmt+2. Finally someone is close to my time! :D

[mashedpotatoes]

Oh yes, they can definitely do that. Despite Steve's speech, Justin's main plan will likely be to get the hell out of there and try to just, stay out of sight and out of mind.

AAAAH THAT IS SO EXCITING. Oh gosh, I am always happy when I have people near my timezone. It's almost always just me and all the americans.

[guardiandevil]

Hello and welcome! I'm Ali and I play tributes Courfeyrac (Les Mis) of D11, Felicity (Gemma Doyle Trilogy) of D2, and Matt Murdock (Marvel 616) of D8, mentor Jessica (Sweet Valley High) of D3, and Capitol OC Jennifer. I'm also a mod here, so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to grab me. Arena 11 will be starting on Monday, so be sure to read a bit of the info ahead of time. I'm super excited to meet you and play with Justin!

[mashedpotatoes]

Thank you so much! I am so happy to be accepted and I've heard such great things about this place, both the game itself and the people part of it, so I am really excited to get into it.

Definitely lurking that thread, I figure Justin will highly likely die early on, but it'll be a learning experience, that's for sure.

I am so glad to meet you too.

[arrogantalloy]

There needs to be things between our boys.

Terrible things.

I would tag your intro, however, Tony, Bruce and a few others kind of got caught up in breaking people out of jail and are kind of jailed up themselves, so the first time Tony will even be able to see Justin will be in the Arena.

BUT I also play Chibi-Usa so I might send her your way tomorrow!

[mashedpotatoes]

Yes. All the things. Terrible things. Maybe eventually less terrible things but just bad, typical rivalry things. AT SOME POINT Justin may probably try to apologise to Tony for you know, everything. Obviously he won't say sorry but depending there may be the slightest admittance that maybe he wasn't completely right in hiring Vanko, but he definitely didn't plan for shit to happen the way they did.

Bless. Everything will be terrible about that. Though can it be assumed Justin's seen Tony from past arenas on the screens?

:D I look forward to it.

[arrogantalloy]

AH HAHAHA I look sooo forward to this so much!!

And yeah he'll be able to see Tony on the screens from the last arena and probably still bringing up his frequenting bars almost everyday since because he didn't handle being lead piped to the face very well.

[mashedpotatoes]

It is going to be wonderful and terrible and so much awkward. :') And then if they get over the whole "oh yeah i stole your suit and inadvertently almost killed thousands or at least enabled it in a way" thing, it'll be back to their usual snark-offs.

Perfect. Although I think I might prefer to have him see him for the first time in the arena. just for extra shock value. >>

[arrogantalloy]

Oh just imagining the look on his face would be amazing if he didn't at all know

[mashedpotatoes]

it would be this one.

[arrogantalloy]

As amazing as I thought it would be.

This'll be Tony's. Possibly.


It also occurs to me that my name's Otter

[mashedpotatoes]

Tony might even be the one thing to cause him to trip up on the ice. Even after artfully skating through the remains of people.

Yes good.

Hello. 8D

[arrogantalloy]

Of course making Tony want to childishly skate around him with ease making comments about how lame Justin is or something

So giddy right now, stupid jail time preventing Tony from having to cringe about his arrival sooner than later.

Hullo Hullo! OH OH adding insult to injury. They're in the same district.

[mashedpotatoes]

Never mind the fact that you know, everything was going fine up until them. Besides, it would just be a little stumble. >> Justin would probs try to end it by peaceing out yo bro he has better things to do he is not a part of this Cap Hug-A-Thon.

Ahahaa, it's going to be wonderful. They're the best potential frenemies ok.

YES. Which is perfect.

[arrogantalloy]

Well yeah apart from that he was doing all fine and that Tony is also pretty absent from the whole cuddle puddle out on the ice too because hugs mean you have feelings.

I have always headcanoned them as being the kind of people who act more like sibling/frenemies than anything else I'm even working on a school Fic where Justin keeps inviting himself to the lunch table and Tony's always "go away you make me look bad" but never actually makes him leave.
I have a lot of Tony and Justin feels, man.

All of the perfect!

[mashedpotatoes]

And feelings are the worst. Who has time to deal with that where there are guts starting to freeze to the ice peace out mother fuckers okay i don't have time for this.

Yes. Definitely. That's how I've always seen it? Like, there's rivalry between them but it's never been downright cruel. It's been mostly stupid pranks and then Justin trying to make Tony look stupid somehow and usually failing but once in a blue moon he gets a one up on him and then fuels him further. But there's never been like, real deep seeded hate. shriek. you better link that to me ok i will read that forever.
Lay them on me ok.

[arrogantalloy]

They could even end up leaving together because of it both of them all "Stop following me" "I'm not following you this is where the exit is"

That's because Justin and Tony are friends! Best friends even (At least according to Justin in All Hail the King). And friends don't hate, they just try to make the other look bad, or just manage to look bad all on their own.
There will be linking! Once I start putting it up!! Right now it's mostly just Tony/Steve fics.

Oh you'll slowly be submerged in them as we play!

[mashedpotatoes]

Ahahaha. A+. Yes. That is perfect. Little bitchings but no like, trying to kill each other. just the "ugh why are you here just when i thought entering a death arena couldn't get any worse i have to be here with you."

(i am still yelling about All Hail the King.Yelling forever.) They're totally friends. Tony just has his ~issues~ where he has to seem cool and like he doesn't need friends ok they're best bros 4 lyf. It's all just friendly rivalry.
8D Excitement. Such excitement.

There are worse things to be submerged in.

[worldsaway]

I APPROVE OF THIS MAJESTIC PICTURE. Thor will be endeared to Hammer just for his name, he's also not involved in the jail plot so he's all here and able to caress Justin appropriately. (He's in D2)

I also play a drag queen stylist known as Jolie for D8, Dave Strider in D9 and Prince Hans who is a mentor for D5. WELCOME AND STUFF.

[mashedpotatoes]

GOOD. I was browsing through the Hammer tag on tumblr all what can I use and then that piece of perfection came to me and yes. Yes indeed. And oh good. Justin needs someone to tell him about the shit that's about to go down. He's picked up bits and pieces and watched the tvs, but it's different hearing it from someone.

omg Prince Hans u dick. :') I can't wait to get playing with you all :D

[worldsaway]

Tumblr is always there in our time of need. Thor will happily tell him because he has absolutely no idea who he is beyond someone who is in the same awful situation.

Ty ty and same to you!

[mashedpotatoes]

Perfect. And then Justin will be sadface when Tony comes back and badmouths him all over the place.

[assassinat]

Hello Hanne and welcome to The Games. I'm Mei and I just play the 616 version of the lady that's given him the world's shittiest concussion.... sorry for that, she's sure she had a good reason.

[mashedpotatoes]

Thank you!

Ahahaha. She definitely did. But he will argue that he would have gone willingly if she had given him another few seconds >>

[honeyibrokeharlem]

Hi, Hanne! I'm Smurf, and I play Bruce Banner here. I would tag your intro, but unfortunately, Tony can talk Bruce into anything and they've both been arrested before Bruce was even here two weeks.

But that doesn't mean there shouldn't be CR in the arena, where people blow up and the roombas are possibly trying to kill you.

[mashedpotatoes]

Hello hello! It's a pleasure. I may have memestalked your bruce in the past shhh Typical Tony Stark gdi, showing Justin up even before he's aware of his arrival. He would ruin the welcome wagon for him.

There should definitely be CR. I have posted over in the arena thread but, general plan is that Justin is going to try to get away from the cornucopia as quickly as he can, go to the department store and gather some kitchen knives and maybe like, some utensils used for grilling etc and some tools, and then he'll be hunkering down to hide, speech or no speech. :') but they should definitely stumble upon each other.

[honeyibrokeharlem]

Bruce will be destroying books and doing his stealthy hiding thing, so he might come across Justin when he's looking around for anything that might be useful. Aaaand... he probably would have no idea who he was, because he hasn't been paying attention to American news for the better part of a decade. Whoops.

[mashedpotatoes]

HEY IT WORKS IN JUSTIN'S FAVOUR OK. The less people who know who he is and what he did the better. So they should definitely run into each other at some point within the arena, whether it be a neutral or hostile situation.

[vissernone]

Welcome to the game, Hanne! I am totally looking forward to Justin Hammer and would love to get some CR between him and my own arms dealer/general career criminal Black Tom. I'm Lisa, a mod here, and I've added you on plurk. :)

[helpmeguideit]

Oh my gosh! So I finally have a few seconds to sit down and enjoy the fact that we have a Justin Hammer now!!! :D

I'm KJ, I have this guy (as you can see, is a loser by the name of Charles Xavier), Loki (from 616 -- and I'm going to guess he probably knows who Justin is but the one in 616 is super old so he'll be like BZUH?!), and then I have Thane from Mass Effect. c:

NICE TO MEET YOU. SO ADDING YOU ON PLURK (agalio). <3
