I am done with this place.

Wise man.

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

In the future, I will hopefully stick to that.

[ghostlypryde.livejournal.com]

Mr Stark?

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

How you holding up, Kitty?

[ghostlypryde.livejournal.com]

I don't do well with not having my normal routine in place, but am learning to accept it. Your turn: what's wrong? And how can I help?

[mutablepolitics.livejournal.com]

Which place would that be?

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

This fucking facility I checked myself into. I'm surrounded by hacks and quacks.

[mutablepolitics.livejournal.com]

I did wonder how long that might last.

I am curious, after all this time why are you trying to quit?

[americas-cap.livejournal.com]

You are not.

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am. I'm coming back with you and the others on Saturday.

[americas-cap.livejournal.com]

No, Tony, you're not coming back with us. You're staying in rehab and making sure that it sticks this time.

[rattle-thecages.livejournal.com]

Tony?

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

I can't, Rachel. I can't handle this place anymore. It's been four days, and I'm already striking out at people.

That's not me.

[rattle-thecages.livejournal.com]

You knew it wasn't going to be easy, Tony. This is so you can get better. You need to get better.

[hell-is-for.livejournal.com]

At first I thought you meant this place and I was kinda hurt. Heh.

I've never been in rehab but I've had friends who were. Maybe you oughta stick with it just a little longer. See how things end up, cause I know it's hell, it's absolute shit, but sometimes it's the only way. And you got all your friends behind you. You're Iron Man, you can do anything.

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

Oh god, no, this place is keeping me sane.

You make a lot of sense, kid, and yeah...I'm going to stick it out a little longer. At least, until everyone can see how fucking miserable I am, and then load on the pity.

And here I thought I might lose the pool.

Lack of hot nurses getting to you?

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Jim, your confidence in me is always stirring.

Oh, no, quite the opposite. I've developed quite the relationship with one in particular named Eustace. When he picks me up in those huge, calloused hands of his, I'm just the luckiest man in the world.

But I've been convinced to stay, my apologies to your wallet.

[iamwarmachine.livejournal.com]

Hey, I was hoping to lose. I was betting with your money anyway. So I'm glad someone talked you into it. You know these programs usually go twenty-eight days and don't let you have contact with the outside world, right? Consider yourself lucky.

Well, it's legal for you and Eustace now. I wish you all the best.

[john-kramer.livejournal.com]

Tony? What's wrong?

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

To run the risk of sounding like everyone assumes I should sound...

This place is too real for me. Far too real. There are people here with real, disturbing problems, and I can't measure up to that. I feel like a fraud, and I know my fellow addict-ees feel the same way.

[donanwoodswitch.livejournal.com]

Truly done or merely frustrated?

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

As of thismorning, merely frustrated.

I was sternly talked to.

[hiddenaesir.livejournal.com]

No.

[builfromscraps.livejournal.com]

No? Very succinct, Donald.

And you're right. I'm not. It was a temporary lapse in maturity.
