[video] shake off that rubble, break free from your standstill

[Locked To Friends & Family of Buffy Summers]

[the feed comes on to show Tony, standing on his patio, the sky and ocean behind him a soothing, neutral backdrop. he's dressed tastefully - a black dress shirt, unbuttoned just slightly with a hint of the glow of his arc reactor showing through - and his hair's just tame enough to look like he didn't roll out of bed, without being sleazy-slicked-back. it's clear that he's crafted this moment pretty carefully, and for good reason]

Hi there. My name's Tony Stark, and I was hoping I could talk to you all about Buffy Summers. I didn't know her from Eve, but I saw what she did - what she did for all of us. Her sacrifice was ... well. I'm not even gonna try to go for a stirring, inspiring speech, because really, I'd just screw it up, and it'd sound ridiculous. So, I'll spare you all the agony and cut to the chase.

I wanna do something for her hometown, for the people she's left behind. I know I had a hell of a mess to clean up here after that dimensional gate opened up, and the place where it all started has to be a doozy. Not to toot my own horn, but I've got some disposable income, and I want a good place to put it, a place where it'll do something worthwhile, and Sunnydale seems like a suitable cause. I'm prepared to kick it off with ten million dollars, and I just need someone to be my interdimensional liason and help me get the money where it needs to go. Anyone who wants to chip in is absolutely welcome to - this is to pass on the thanks, and honor her memory, after all. If you want to help me with the transportation end of things and be my interdimensional Swiss Bank, toss me a private message and we'll talk.

[with that, he raises the water bottle in his hand] Here's to Buffy. Let's pay it forward and remember her well.

From the people in her world, sir. She kept it secret from them. If you want to honor her, I don't think exposing her is a reasonable solution.

I suppose that could be effective. And my name is not Horatio.
