two ☢ accidental video→voice

[ The feed opens up on a slightly worn hoodie. At the top of the screen there's the lower part of a man's face - weather-beaten, tanned, with a little stubble - set in a frown as he types away on the laptop. ]

Dammit, stop th-

[ A frustrated hmph can be heard as he covers the webcam with a hand and turns the laptop off at an angle so the camera can only catch a slightly shaky view of a backpack in the foreground, just as worn as the hoodie, and a small gas station in the background with a couple of trucks getting gassed up. The video feed clicks off, and is soon followed by audio. ]

Apparently it's been long enough for-- Well. Yeah. [ An irritated sigh. ] Moving around's hard enough without needing to go and put something up here, never mind... The other stuff.

[ Deep breath, then he admits: ]

Have to say the weather's keeping, though. Can't complain about that. ...Uh. [ Right, this whole stuff is supposed to be interactive. ] How is it wherever you all might be? Weather-wise, that is.

Comments

[schrodingersghost]

Snow. Lots and lots of snow.

voice;

[hulk]

...Oh. Sorry to hear that. Before or after Christmas?

[ beat ]

Assuming that you're in a place that both knows and-or celebrates it. Sorry.

[harlol]

Well, it was nice out until the world started ending!

[hulk]

Th- Is that still happening over there? [ there is D: in his voice ]

[doyoufondue]

Oddly sunny. ...You okay?

[hulk]

Glad to hear it, [ obviously catches himself ] Steve. And, uh, yeah, I guess I'm okay. Just... Caught off-guard.

[wormhole]

Hot as hell. I need to get out of New Mexico.

[hulk]

Ah. But it's a dry heat, right? So. There's that, at least?

[6collegecredits]

Seconded Jane on the "hot as hell" comment.

[hulk]

Not a fan of the heat, huh.

[ms_potts]

I'm in California but I could give you the specifics of the current weather if you would like. [She chuckles]

[hulk]

W-well, you don't have to, I just. Trying to go and make conversation since. Figure that's what the whole community program's angling for, right?

[godofabs]

Asgard's weather will do you no good.

[hulk]

Asgard. R-right. [ nope still getting used to that idea ] Um, I mean, I know that, it's just. You know. Small talk to, er. ...Yeah. I'm obviously not able to get to there, so.

[likethetragedy]

It's a little chilly for this time of year.

[hulk]

Ah. Is it good chilly or bad chilly? I mean. Summer chilly can be a good thing, sometimes.

...Less so in the overall scheme of things what with global warming, but you know.

[deadlydoctor]

Barney, you should know already that this place hates privacy.

[hulk]

[ dryly: ] I'd noticed.

[ video | Locked ]

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

[He never forgets a face. And he knew that one.]

Bruce?

[ voice | locked ]

[hulk]

[





uh what god no fffffff ]

Uh. Who now?

[daretotry]

Kinda cloudy, but at least it's warm.

[hulk]

Warm is good, yeah. I think most people would prefer that over the alternative- I mean, heat you can go out and still do things, cold you're just stuck bundling up.

[makewayforroze]

Are you alright?

[hulk]

Y- What? No, I'm fine, it's. Perfectly fine.

[anon]

[trickstering]

You'd best get used to it.

[and just for the record, the weather today is slightly sarcastic with a good chance of a) indifference or b)disinterest]

[hulk]

[ ...oh so the comm has its own encrypted chat function. DAMMIT WHY CAN'T HE HAVE THAT. but w/e w/e ]

The lack of privacy or the weather. Because. You know. Either or.

voice;

[arches]

Hot, dry, miserable--take your pick.

voice;

[hulk]

No air conditioning?

( video. )

[descry]

[ here bruce, it's the crazy-sounding girl from last time, now on video. she is a tiny teenager. ]

The weather is colloquial. Defined by differences and changes that cause effects in the state of the atmosphere, too close to the ground. It can't be quantified. We're lacking. [ a pause, and she adds helpfully, ] In atmosphere. It's space.

voice;

[hulk]

...Oh.

[ It's going to take a while for it to sink in enough for him to remember that this community spans time/space/realities and that weird stuff for him kind of. Exists. ]

Well, that must be something in and of itself. I mean, space travel is. I can hardly wrap my head around it.

audio;

[widowing]

It's nice enough.

audio;

[hulk]

Ah. Then. That's good.

[ can you tell that he fails at small talk? cause he does ]

[glaived]

Perfect, as Thor said.

[ awwww yeah Asgard ]

voice;

[hulk]

...Oh. You're from the, uh-- The same place. Okay.

[ STILL UNSURE AND UNCERTAIN ABOUT YOUR PERFECT WEATHER ]
