[For Pepper it's only been a little over an hour since she last saw the feed. She hadn't expected to talk to the community this soon, especially since she's currently on a flight from New York to DC. However, she also hadn't expected a virus to hit while she was on said flight.

The video opens on Pepper sitting in one of the swankiest of swank personal jets wrapped in three airplane blankets and looking EXTREMELY displeased as snow falls around her]

Can someone please tell me why there is snow falling in my plane?!

[Pepper smiles, sipping a cup of coffee as she looks at the feed]

It's been a while so I thought I'd check in in the hopes that it would keep the feed from forcibly broadcasting something on me.

How is everyone today? I noticed that some of you had some strange weather patterns, was that a virus? If so I'm glad I missed that one. I have enough to deal with here without having to worry about rain indoors or something like that.

[the feed picks Tony up leaning in to peer at the screen, scowling faintly. he pauses to take a drink from the glass Dummy's so kindly holding for him, then scowls a little more]

... Pepper...? Pepper could you c'mere please. I need to ask you something very important.

You know.

About my stuff.

The stuff you apparently deleted.

[For once, Pepper is refraining from video today... if only because she doesn't feel like letting people see her right now. She sighs softly, some of the, er, pep, gone out of her voice as she dictates]

Does anyone else feel... different today? I can't seem to put my finger on it but I just feel off, for lack of a better term. A few people suggested a virus, could this be another one?

[Pepper rubs a hand over her face, sighing]

You know, when I said that I would need three of me to manage my and Tony's increased schedules I didn't mean that to be taken literally.

[She drops her hand, looking very unamused as another Pepper walks by behind her talking on the phone.]

No, no, no. I told you the meeting was scheduled for Friday, not today. [pause] No he's not available now. If he were available at a moment's notice there wouldn't be a point to making appointments in the first place, now, would there?[pause] He'll be there tomorrow by three.

[Other Pepper hangs up the phone and glances over at the screen before it rings again. She rolls her eyes, answering it and walking out of the room. The Pepper sitting in front of the computer makes a face]

As useful as this is does anyone know how long this virus is going to last?

((ooc: Pepper's got the power of Replication. Obvs blue is Other Pepper)

[the video feed blips to life on a new face - slightly scruffy, but pretty handsome all the same, if he does say so himself. or, at least, he would if he knew he were being watched. but since he doesn’t, he’s just yawning obnoxiously. he’s also shirtless. in the background there’s the calm drone of a British accent:]

Good morning, sir. Temperature is currently sixty-five degrees, with a projected high of seventy-one.

Yeah-huh, thanks, Jarvis. [Tony scrapes a hand over his face and actually … pokes at the screen for a moment] You havin’ trouble with the feeds this morning? I’m not seeing the morning news ticker.

Everything appears to be in working order.

Great. I’m awake now. Cancel the coffee. … [he sighs, then reaches off-screen and grabs a bathrobe, shrugging it on before raising his voice] HEY, PEPPER. [and he’ll just … poke at the screen a little more, putting a hand to one corner and swiping it away]

Yes, Tony? [A voice calls from somewhere off camera. It’s only a moment before a redhead in a silk bathrobe strolls into the room, looking curiously at him] Did you need something?

[the look that flits across his face says pretty clearly that for a moment, his answer was entirely different than what comes out of his mouth. but he clears his throat and nods toward the screen] Uh, yeah. Did you, uh. Did you download any new apps onto the mainframe or something, while you were -- um. You know, boss. Because I’ve got this thing showing up and I didn’t put it there. Unless I put it there during the birthday party. But I totally would’ve seen it before now if I had, right? I’m pretty sure...

[She shakes her head and gives him an amused look before crossing to look over his shoulder at the screen.] No, I didn’t add anything. At least, nothing like this. I don’t even know what this is supposed to be.

Looks like some kind of … [he squints] Oh good god. It’s cross-form social media. I think. … Jarvis, confirm?

Indeed, sir. … And it would appear my video feed has been involuntarily activated.

Video feed?! [Her eyes get wide and she clutches the robe closer and tries to move out of frame. DO NOT WANT] Wait. What... what is this? How is this possible? Tony, that shouldn’t be possible, should it? I mean, no one could just, like, hack into our system and take over the video feed whenever they want... [She gasps as she realizes what this could mean] Oh god, could they? Could someone really do that?

No. Come on, Pep, have a little faith, think about whose system this is we’re talking about here. Nobody changes Jarvis but me, and even then we’ve got failsafes. When did you make me put those in, again? … It was the time he spoke Spanish for all of two days, right? Come on, that wasn’t even that bad. Was it, Jarvis?!

No, senor.

See?! We’re fine. … Besides. Don’t you wanna smile for the camera? [he gives Pepper an encouraging smile. come on, Potts. help him figure out who’s responsible for this by playing nice, and then you can go do your sexy legal shark thing. right?]

[She gives him an unimpressed look. Smiling for the cameras is for when she’s showered... and dressed... and had her coffee. GDI TONY! She sighs softly and plasters her sweetest press smile on her face before stepping back into view] You only say it wasn’t too bad because you thought it was a perfect excuse to not get any work done since you couldn’t read your email. [She looks up at the screen] Now, if no one’s hacked in... what’s going on, then?
