Seriously? Of all the places to send me on an impromptu sabbatical, I get to go to the place where Great Gatsbies go to die? There better not be pools involved.

In the words of Obi, I got a bad feeling about this.

So far no pools. Though two weeks ago it was an underground Ancient Egyptian sandstorm so I can't guarantee the great flood won't be next.

[ AREN'T YOU EXCITED, SKYE? ]

/gets tossed up here

[bigblondmotherhen]

[ waving a hand at his mun to PLS SHUSH ]

Seconding the sandstorm and a lot of other crazy shit.

Is she absolutely sure that she wants to throw you into this hellhole?

[battleshipping]

Apparently, yes. How screwed am I on a scale from 0 to yes?

[sturmhond]

No, but there's a pier, coasted with water that you wouldn't want to get into if they paid you.

Which they don't, let's be clear on that.

[ And he smiles. ]

Will you be joining us, lovely?

[bigblondmotherhen]

[ have a wince ]

NOT HERE

[twentytwenty]

[ HE IS WATCHING YOU.

ONE WRONG STEP AND YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT HIS GUN DOES. ]

[battleshipping]

[EXCITED? No, not remotely.]

I hope neither, I didn't pack my sea-splitting staff.

[battleshipping]

You're all cheer.

[sturmhond]

[ Oh dear, you're not attached are you?

This could be very amusing. Always a pleasure, Coulson. ]

[battleshipping]

Then I'm guessing there's no time for swimming.

[bigblondmotherhen]

I figured you might want the honest response.

[battleshipping]

Honest response? Yeah. Honest and terrifyingly telling facial expression?

Ehhh.

[twentytwenty]

[ It'll be fine. ]

Believe me, I've been dealing with threats the old fashioned way. What I wouldn't give for some standard issue weaponry. [ A pause. ] You'll be fine. I'm going to make sure of that.

[thelittlestbub]

Dude, I'm revoking your geek card. It was Han that said that, not Obi Wan.

[sturmhond]

No doubt you could make time, but I think your health and wellbeing would regret it.

Zelien's a dangerous place. Don't let them lie to you about that, but there are worse places to be stuck.

[twentytwenty]

[ You won't be attached to your head either.

Though he's not sure if it's him you have to worry about or the redhead. ]

[battleshipping]

No offense, A.C., but with the car you drive I'm not surprised that you know how to deal with things the old fashioned way in general.

[And a pause in return, her eyebrows raising.] Or vice versa.

[battleshipping]

Nobody's tried to lie to me about it.

[Did anyone tell you you look like Anakin Skywalker? No? Yes? Evil?]

[twentytwenty]

I'm not a big fan of despatching the monsters with piano wire. Kind of ruins the suit.

[ Eyebrows lifting, two can play at this incredulous little game. ]

[battleshipping]

I was testing you. You passed.

[sturmhond]

[ Jealousy is abounding here somewhere. It's hard to tell exactly where. ]

[twentytwenty]

[ ... Wait and find out. ]

[battleshipping]

Oh, god - [A very telling shudder.] And I had just gotten the hang of the safety and the mag.

[thelittlestbub]

Of course I did. There is a very angry Jewish geek who would shove me into a wall if I didn't get that.

And then she'd lock my phone and I'd never get into it. I fear and respect her power.

[sturmhond]

[ He's far more cute.

And doesn't require breathing apparatus. ]

No? Well that's a positive sign. They must think you can handle the pressure.
