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.]

Yes, and since I know this is going to come up one way or another, no not everyone gets in here, no this isn't the end of the line, and I'm fairly certain what happens to you once you die is based on your personal belief system since there are only Japanese kids here.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

I see. That's, well, that's new to hear. Interesting.

[tenminutes]

Basically, it's a boarding school for young to about mid-twenties kids who died young after living absolutely unfair and horrible lives that we had no control over. It's not a place you want to be.

video

[notmyfirstrodeo]

No offense, but it doesn't sound terribly pleasant, no.

video

[tenminutes]

Why would that offend me? I'm one of the ones stuck here. It's not like the DDD is the only force I lead, you know. I'm the leader of the Afterlife Battlefront too.

video

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Are you? Well, you certainly sound like the take charge type then.

video

[tenminutes]

Of course, I started both of them.

video

[notmyfirstrodeo]

That's very impressive.

video

[tenminutes]

I don't care for it being impressive in that sense as long as something gets accomplished. Anyway, you were asking questions right?

video

[notmyfirstrodeo]

I like your philosophy.

I suppose I was. But you've answered them all pretty well so far.

video

[tenminutes]

Got any more for me?

video

[notmyfirstrodeo]

How long have you been a part of this, ah, ducky little community?

video

[tenminutes]

I don't know? 9 months? Something like that.

video

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Do you know who the person who's been here the longest is? And how long that is, by chance?

video

[tenminutes]

I think the person I've spoken to who has been here the longest is probably Azula. At least 3 years when I first met her.

video

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Interesting. Thanks for indulging the questions. These are things I plan on looking into.

video

[tenminutes]

Would you mind keeping me updated on those things, Agent Coulson? I wouldn't mind having you in the DDD.

video

[notmyfirstrodeo]

I'll share what I find.

I wouldn't mind being a part of it.

video

[tenminutes]

Welcome to the SSS! [ She pauses.

Forgetting something isn't she?

Huh.

OH! ]

I'm Yuri Nakamura. Yuri or Yurippe is fine. If you call me Nakamura I'll worldhop you in your sleep into Steve's tent.

video

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Thank you. Honored to be a part of it.

[He lifts an eyebrow at that.]

Fair enough. I appreciate the warning.

video; sdgjasl I MEANT DDD. Coulson is not in the SSS. That's for dead people. Damn acronyms.

[tenminutes]

Great. I'll deliver your badge sometime later.

video - lolol acronyms! /shakefist

[notmyfirstrodeo]

I'll look forward to it.

video - how do i even work at a place that has 50 acronyms irl.. I should be able to handle this!

[tenminutes]

And let me know whenever you want to go meet Steve. I'll probably give him a heads up too so we don't land in the middle of a battle. I wouldn't want you getting hurt.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

I'll keep that in mind, actually. Thank you.
