002 ✪ [Video -- thoroughly accidental video]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[Coulson is staring intently at the computer screen. Very intently. In fact, this may be the most serious that he's ever looked -- which is saying something. The man doesn't do much that isn't serious.]

Almost...

[The word is muttered to himself, brow furrowed.] Just about... There!

[And now, seriousness is replaced with absolute triumph. A kid who just got exactly what he asked for from Santa. Fiddling and a sheet prints. It's an order confirmation, straight off of eBay, winning bid. As he holds it up to the light read it's quite visible: Complete series: Captain America trading cards, original printing, near mint condition.

There's a bit of a grin starting on his face as he suddenly realizes he's sharing this. The expression fades entirely, and he pauses.]

...this is research. [And then he hurries to turn the video off.]

They are, yeah. That's why I had to track them down on eBay. They're pretty rare.

[denies]

That must be so weird.. I can't even imagine what it'd be like to have trading cards of you being sold that many years later.

Almost funny that he has fans like that on here though.

Well, when you're sort of a cultural icon and historic figure, I suppose it's one of the perils of the profession.

Is it?

[ video ]

[denies]

Of course it is. Normally you'd seperate stuff in your world and stuff on the community, but in his case both of those are sort of blending together now, right?

[ video ]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Would you? There are quite a few people from my world on here. It really seems to be blurring together in several instances.

[ video ]

[denies]

I guess it's just a different kind of thing altogether. The only people from my world here on the community are my older brother and someone I'd rather not deal with either way, so actually only one person I'm close to and someone I'd ignore given the chance.

How many are there from your world that you'd consider them to be 'quite a few'?

[ video ]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

That I'm positive of? 4 if you count Captain Rogers. Aside from him, the other 3 are all people I'm currently in fairly close proximity to.

There are a few others that seem to be... at last in the same scope of reality even if I haven't met them in person yet. [Thor's peeps.]

[ video ]

[denies]

.. 'Same scope of reality', huh.. that all sounds pretty vague and complicated. Must be strange though to have it so crowded with people you know from your own world in this place.

[ video ]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

It's interesting, that so many are involved in this. I wonder if there's a reason for it.

[ video ]

[denies]

Maybe the community just thinks a lot of people in your world are interesting for some reason. It's anyone's guess how this place works most of the time.

[ video ]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Maybe. I suppose blind speculation doesn't really help much. But it is curious.

[ video ]

[denies]

There's nothing we can really do but blindly speculate. There's no way to test it and get to know the true reason, after all.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Is that so? [Actually he has a couple ideas. But they're still juuuust ideas.] I suppose that's a point.
