LMFAO stop dragging your other character

[empireofrats]

[She giggles.] You're silly, Mister Clint.

Yes, they're adults. Miss Tifa can punch really hard. Duster is kind of short, but that's okay. He's really scary, and he is really quiet, and he's going to show us how to stab people with a knife.

[That totally helps, right?]

[jumpthegun]

She's @itsybitsy. I know they'll be very happy to hear from you.

[John's very happy, too. There's no small amount of relief to have what he considers the best of the Avengers back in business, even if this isn't the Steve who was here before. He's... well, this just means he gets a second chance, right? He gets to make a better first impression than accusing him of being a fraud and actor.]

If there's anything I can do for you, sir, or other questions I can answer, please just let me know.

[awwnoun]

Peachy. [ It's an excellent username and Natasha has no room to talk. ] Good to see you too, also. Hear you. Whatever.

What about you, are you okay? Did you just wake up?

[bottledblond]

[Causing one of his best friends pain is about the last thing that Steve wants right now and to know what she's been through with losing him would hurt him back. He might have managed to subdue his obviously happy typing though.]

I can't. I'm sorry, but I can't have my mission compromised.

[As far as he knows, when sides had to be picked, you didn't pick his, Natasha.]

But I wasn't in Alaska sometime in the potential future. Bucky is safe. I reached out to Tony-- Dr. Watson mentioned that he's here, though. Do you think he might have something to do with this?

[It takes him a long, long time to answer. Big fingers, proper capitalization and grammar, little buttons to push for text.]

[awwnoun]

yes sir
keep me updated, man, and be careful
you can just call next time, also.

[bottledblond]

I might have the word wrong. What I'm trying to say is that I'm not getting full answers.

[awwnoun]

It wasn't really universe travelling so much as someone messed with the world. It's hard to explain. I guess she sort of made everything into an illusion?

I'm assuming that's kind of what's happening here, but I don't know, I'm not Stark.

[bottledblond]

Please, call me Steve.

[This isn't a combat situation. Yet. No need for titles. No need for rank. He might be very pleased to know that Dr. Watson is an army man himself.]

Thank you for help so far. I'll ask if there's anything else I might need clarification on.

[bottledblond]

[Steve doesn't like to run.]

OK. I'll keep an eye out.

[redrooms]

Your mission.

[What? Even what little he does tell her doesn't make much sense from her context, and it takes her a moment to respond further.]

Tony has nothing to do with this. What do you mean, "Bucky is safe"?

[0thingsonmymind]

thisis real
but may be al so illusion


stark doesnot know ei ther

[bottledblond]

[This thing seems a little bit for a phone-- But he does nod at the screen before he looks around for anything he might take with him.]

Signing off then. I'll keep you posted. :)

[Emoticons and Steve Rogers are a weird thing. He'll mostly spend the day checking in periodically with Clint. Otherwise, he has a lot of walking to do.]

[devoutish]

What's wrong with the answers you're getting? Give me specifics, mate.

[awwnoun]

America. I was born in Iowa, but I live in Brooklyn right now.

Nobody's mentioned magic to me yet, but a little girl just described the tablet as a notebook phonograph so I'm... getting the idea that there's some time shenanigans happening here.

[redrooms]

No. I arrived about ten days ago. What's with the hearing aids?

[devoutish]

Emily is from another world entirely. I'm from 1922, myself.

[bottledblond]

[Now it's Steve's turn to be taken aback before the previous conversations settle in. When he sighs, he nearly fogs the screen with warm breath on a cold surface.]

You must be a red sock. Dr. Watson explained the alternate dimensions theory to me. Like Star Trek.

[He'd been a fan of Captain Kirk, okay? He just took very stupid risks with his team.]

It doesn't matter. You're still Natasha Romanoff, right? I'm on my way to find Clint. Where are you?

[bottledblond]

Not wrong. Just not enough. What sort of monsters are there? Where? Why do they attack more people instead of less like other predators?

[devoutish]

Ah, those questions. Yeah. Unfortunately, those are things we don't know ourselves yet. The anomaly guide talks a bit about what sort - but as I told you, right, they all seem to be different from one another.

And as for the rest, you're just shit out of fucking luck, mate.

[despiteeverything]

That's what they're called. Not monsters.

[Strictly speaking they have no official name, anomalies were just what Admin called them. But Frisk wasn't ever gonna be happy with calling the Anomalies "monsters."

Because personal reasons but still!!!]

[redrooms]

[She saw that, too. Steve doesn't know what alternate dimensions are, and he has no experience with them. That's only serving to put her more on edge, like this town hasn't been doing that enough already.]

I'd like to get a better idea of what we're dealing with. Where the differences are.

[Because it does matter, at least to her.]

[bottledblond]

I would rather talk about it in person. These things don't seem very secure.

[bottledblond]

No one lives to tell when they run into this stuff?

[That smirk is in his voice.]

[redrooms]

Nothing is secure. This entire place is bugged.

[Things she hates: that.]
