WHO: Tony Stark, Cloud Strife, technically open if you want to hang
WHERE: The forge? I don't know the structure of this post eludes me, it might be just network, I might just be setting up a bunch of interactions for Cloud to have with everyone else like a benevolent god
WHAT: Tony's been making things and has packages for Reeve, Tommy, Sansa and Jon, and he's not doing all of that walking himself.
WARNINGS: It is genuinely not my fault that all of Tony's posts are horny and you should just expect it now.

Outside of the forge, sitting in front of the closed door very pointedly, were five lumpy bundles, the wrapping of these clearly not Tony's strong suit. One of them seemed to be just in a big leaf. They were all labled with thin tags of impressed aluminum tied or just placed on top for Cloud to figure out where they were supposed to go with just a name-- the rest, like who any of these people were and where to find them, was Cloud's job to figure out, apparently.
At least one of them should have been pretty easy.

It was...a chocobo? Or how Tony remembered a chocobo looking from the glance at it in Reeve's memory. Small, grey and surprisingly heavy, it wound up to go bouncing away on weirdly articulated legs. Did Tony think he was paying Cloud?

It's a head.
This might be what Tony thought a cat skull looked like. It wasn't much like the design he had left for Mini-C's skeletal structure in Reeve's sketchbook, he obviously had some time, and the obsessive insomnia turned to 11 after the sleep glut and nowhere to pour his creative energy, to take a more detailed turn, and he would have used the energy to make more of the structure but they were still tight on materials. What he did make was a few servos, dangling from the skull shape like a disembodied nerve system, and a prototype pair of hands tucked safely into the dome, too delicate to be very useful to Mini, but responding to their programming housed in the skull. The systems were done, was the point.

Was this what he meant by hydroponics? It wasn't like Tony had managed to miss that bit of drama on the network. It wasn't assembled, a bunch of disparate pieces that didn't come with instructions, but a note that only read 'you need a tube'.

This bundle had a pair of brass combs in it, stamped, much like the labels on the packages, with roses. If Sansa hadn't figured out how to keep her hair from being a mess, maybe this would be a reminder.

A very tiny little knot of a rag, about as big as the label that sat under it, and felt light enough to be empty.
It seemed to only contain a gold chain.

hey
where are you?
you want a job, right?
Come to the forge.

Jon just stares at it for a few moments. As well at his somewhat damaged glasses as the little chain. The glasses quickly seem less important. They will be fine. But Jon’s eyes dart over briefly to Tony’s outstretched and waiting hand and for a moment Jon wants to reach over and take it in his own.
But that isn’t what Tony wants. This hasn’t been what Tony has wanted any of the times Jon has reached to take hold of one of his hands. And that knowledge... It hurts.
Pressing his lips into a tight line, Jon swallows once more against the lump in his throat and closes his hand around the golden chain one more time. Then, without looking over, he hands it back. Obviously Tony has someone else to give this to next and Jon doesn’t want to think about who that might be.
Without another word or even another stutter or trying to find out how well his glasses now fit, Jon finally makes to leave the forge for good.

His effortless poise wilted and was gone the second the door was closed behind Jon. Without deigning to look at the ridiculous chain again, he hurled it across the room, only for it to disappear and not even indulge him with a satisfying impact as it met the wall, then the floor somewhere around the dark edge of the forge.
