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.

[schrodingersghost]

Snow. Lots and lots of snow.

[harlol]

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

[doyoufondue]

Oddly sunny. ...You okay?

[wormhole]

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

[6collegecredits]

Seconded Jane on the "hot as hell" comment.

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.

[hulk]

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

[hulk]

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

[hulk]

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

[hulk]

Not a fan of the heat, huh.

[wormhole]

Yeah, at least. But it's supposed to thunderstorm later so I shouldn't be praising it.

[doyoufondue]

At least it wasn't anything embarrassing. Didn't even get your full face.

[ms_potts]

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

[hulk]

[ deffo relief about that ] True enough, it could have been... Very compromising. Er.

[ topic switch! ]

How are you doing? With, you know. Everything.

[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?

[doyoufondue]

It could have been. Are you going traveling?

[ oh wait. topic switch- ...we'll get back to that question ] -- Good, I guess. A couple of people gave me distractions. Our information guy is talking, I'm told, so we'll see.

[godofabs]

Asgard's weather will do you no good.

[hulk]

No, uh. Moving. ...Like, entirely. Felt it was time for a change.

[ Bruce, you are going to a special kind of hell for fibbing to Captain America. For shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. ]

Ah. That's good, then. Keeping busy does-- Well, it keeps you busy. ...Obviously.

[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.

[ms_potts]

I just mean since most people don't like hearing about our weather because it's generally better than many other places.

As far as conversation starters go it wasn't a bad one. If you'd like I could give you a few other suggestions. I've had to start many blind conversations in the past few years.

[hulk]

Gotcha. Are you not a fan of, uh, storms in general?

[doyoufondue]

A little change is good, I suppose. [ 'a little' not like--- 70 years change. ]

It does. Just got to keep moving.

[6collegecredits]

I wouldn't mind it if weren't so...desert-y.

[wormhole]

They tend to block the stars.

[godofabs]

If that is your desire, the weather here is perfect.
