006 ✪ [Video]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[Video feed shows Coulson as normal: no mini skirt, no fancy poses. Just a fairly serious looking man in a black suit and tie.

He doesn't look terribly pleased. At all. He clears his throat.]

All right, let's get it out of the way. Yes. I ran around crime-fighting in a miniskirt. So if you'd like to have a laugh about it, or there's a joke you've been saving, please, let's hear it now. Get it out of our systems.

Obviously it was not my choice. The community and its viruses got me. My luck ran out.

Few things right off the bat: No I do not plan on ever wearing a skirt again. Yes, I do, in fact, have very nice legs. So I'm sure it's a waste. Tragedy. We'll all have to come to terms with it and move on with our lives.

Apologies all around for awkwardness. ...lots of apologies.

I... I'm going to go do paperwork. In the basement. For the rest of the year.

Does SHIELD have office basements to do paperwork in?

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Of course. ...none quite as deep underground as I'd like right now, but any port in a storm.

[nofondueforyou]

I'm glad to see you're back to normal. You don't need to apologise for anything.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

That's generous of you, Agent Carter. Unfortunately, I remember my behavior pretty well.

[kittyhell]

If you go and hide now you'll be terribly missed.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Selina. [Oh that's right she saw too. Oh his dignity it hurts.]

Well. I expect most people saw entirely too much of me in the recent past. [Way. WAY too much.]

[ ange can't help but feel somewhat glad she didn't check the community much around the time that must've happened by now.. ]

Sounds like a pretty.. interesting virus. For the lack of a better word except for 'lame'.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[Yeah it definitely wasn't pretty.]

Lame doesn't quite do it justice. I'm torn between mortifying and flabbergasting.

[makewayforroze]

You don't have to be so embarrassed. The viruses do make us see strange things very often.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Somehow that thought isn't all that comforting. But I suppose I should get used to it.

[rockstark]

Yeah, but that's like asking someone to scare away your hiccups. If I do it, it's not actually gonna be any good.

So, I think I'm gonna hold on to mine. If it's all the same to you. Or, you know, even if it isn't.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[...Stark. And to think he'd almost been optimistic enough to think he dodged that bullet.]

It would save you the effort of having to remember it.

[Sigh.]

Somehow I wouldn't expect any less, Mr. Stark.

[masked_god]

If its any consolation, I have always found it rather odd that men from your world rarely wear skirts. Its far more practical.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

I think that we may have drastically different concepts or practical.

[dekillerqueen]

I'm afraid there will probably be worse.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

How ominous.

But I'm sure you're right. There's always something worse that could happen.

[glass_secret]

Well, this certainly makes me feel better about running around in that getup during the virus.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

I'm sure you pulled it off worlds better than I did.

[becomethemask]

Now that things had calmed down...It's a pleasure to meet the real you. The name's John Blake. [No jokes coming from this one, no worries.]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Likewise, Mr. Blake. Or Officer Blake.

Not exactly the best first impression on my part.

[the_right_push]

[amused]

For the rest of the year, huh?

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Or until the world ends, whichever comes first.

[He clears his throat.]

In any case, I'm very sorry for the ah... yes. Sorry for that. Sir.

[ms_potts]

[Sorry, Coulson. She's trying so SO very hard not to laugh over here. She even has a hand over her mouth]

Um... you... you were wearing a miniskirt?

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[H-hi Pepper. It's okay. Laugh. It's pretty funny, if it weren't him.]

Yes. Yes I was. To fight the forces of evil.

It... was a really long week, Pepper.

[schrodingersghost]

Good plan. I've been looking for a nice rock to hide under.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[Aww, kid. Coulson feels all your pain.] Plenty of room in the basement if you want company.

[whitechocolate]

[Sam was too horrified to comment at the time.]

Glad to see you're back to normal. Not that there's anything wrong with dudes wearing skirts but the suit suits you better.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[...Coulson cannot blame him.]

Nothing wrong with some dudes in skirts. But I am not one of those dudes.

Is there video?

...if there is, it's highly classified. Highly.
