[Tony's face appears as he's quickly figuring out how to use the ICP. For anyone who saw him on the platform or shortly after, he's looking a lot better. There are some bruises on his face and he looks stressed, but this is still an improvement.]

Lightning. I don't know where you are, but I need you to come to the end of the sleeper carriage near the dressing carriage door. I have two idiots who need some help.

[About two hours later... it's just his voice this time.]

Whoever abducted us, you better change the damn fragrance in the dressing room to something these kids aren't allergic to before I find you.

Is that why you're all bruised up? [he offers a sympathetic grin.]

[Tony sighs, it shouldn't be any wonder it was obvious he was in bad shape when he was having to use this stupid wheelchair. After a brief moment of looking irritated, he nods.]

It's.. temporary.

[Hopefully.]

But I can still help with whatever project we have going on here.

[siriusly]

Mm. [an agreeable nod.] It'll go smoother if we can all work together, one way or another.

[whatever "project" that may turn out to be... Manabu scratches at his cheek, giving the gap in the floor another look.]

...At least it'll be easier to jar open next time, if we need to. But I suppose for now, I'll just...put it back the way I found it to avoid trouble, huh.

[Tony uses the wall next to him to help him get to his feet. Once up, he held out his hand to help the younger man stand too. Old habits died hard, after all.]

It was a pleasure meeting you Manabu. Please keep me in the loop when you come up what we should try next, okay? You're the first person here that seems inclined to do something about our situation instead of just cope with it and I want to be involved.

[once he's sure Tony's not gonna flop over or struggle too much getting situated, Manabu gets to his feet, giving him a nod and a grim, thin-lipped smile.]

Mm. I will. Let me know if you think of something sooner, though, and I'll be ready to help.
