yet another distantskies app

First of all, don't worry so much about this game thing. It would be nice to have a home base, but I've been enjoying meeting people out here and I wouldn't mind staying a while. And don't even think about getting back to my threads until you've had a good night's sleep; they aren't going anywhere and you've clearly worn yourself out.

Second of all, could I get a little more warning about your music choices in the future? I'm not saying that, er, "Jack Off Jill" is bad--some of their songs were actually pretty catchy--but a quick heads-up would've been nice.

Thank you for your time. Now get some rest.

You know, I've heard that sometimes -- um -- compensation gets offered. I've learned with mine that it doesn't always happen in the actualness of getting said compensation, but... Like - for instance, the girl running the circus upstairs here, where I am? She offered me cookies if I cooperated.

As of yet, there is no chocolate nor chippiness to be seen, but - hey! Maybe yours'll actually honor a deal.

[exloserspromise]

While I haven't really run into anything I'd object to cooperating with yet, I could stand to be paid in cookies...

[hidden_angel]

*Don't mind Miss Worthington, she's going to be over here amused that Captain America said "Jack off", hey, her roommates at the U are immature and it's rubbing off on the young lawyer!*

Better than what mine's listening to at the moment. Any more Garbage and I'm going to scream. *Okay no she's not but she's a little tired of the Crow soundtrack now.*

[exloserspromise]

[Steve will have you know he can be just as crude as the next guy! He just generally chooses not to be.]

It just caught me off guard. Not the sort of thing you heard people singing about on actual records in my day, you know?

Oh god, I sound like an old man.

[hidden_angel]

*Yeah but hearing one of her Father's heroes be crude is just amusing to her!*

I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you seem old. It's amusing. Though I think I would have really lost it if you had been Mr. Stark admitting to liking big band music. He doesn't seem like the type that would be that nostalgic.

[exloserspromise]

But everybody--[Oh wait, it's the future and his mun has a lot of different music. He sighs.]

There's no accounting for taste.

[hidden_angel]

I prefer music with a beat at least. Easier to practice fighting forms to. Usually it's the only time I listen to music. Though I like real Blues. There's a few clubs in New York I like with a live house band that does awesome older music. Kind of feel misplaced when I go because I'm one of the few under forty crowd.

[exloserspromise]

It could be worse. If I met up with any other surviving soldiers from the war, I'd look like their grandson.

[hidden_angel]

That's not so bad. Though you visit any in a home... careful of the ladies. They'll probably plot ways to keep you around to do things for them all the time.

*She grins* Happens to my uncle whenever he gets conned by my little sister into volunteering. They'll go for an hour, get out of there eight hours later with her bored and him complaining about old ladies and their cats.

[exloserspromise]

You know, that actually sounds like a great way to spend the day if I ever wind up stuck back at SHIELD.

[hidden_angel]

Yeah, they don't get along with my family that well. *Might be a little because of 'Grandpa Logan' or Aunt Kitty but hey! Not that Liz'll complain.*

I can get you the address of the place they go to. Pretty sure they'd love to have you help out.

[exloserspromise]

I'd really appreciate it! Even if we're from different worlds, it should be a useful lead.

[hidden_angel]

Well unless your New York's under water, I'm pretty sure all the streets are in the same place. *Pulls out one of her business cards jotting the address on the back, since it's the only thing she had to write on in her purse.*

[exloserspromise]

What if my New York was still New Amsterdam? Not that it is, but I imagine a few are out there.

[Yay business card! He takes a look at both sides out of curiosity before putting it in his wallet for whenever he gets back home.]

Thank you very much, Ms. Worthington.

Maybe the giant lion I have got me now can tell me where to get cookie supplies and I'll bake 'em myself! At least it's incentive that might actually happen. [ Not that... she's any good at baking, really, but she can... try... ]

[exloserspromise]

This way, too, you can be sure you'll get the cookies you actually want and not surprise oatmeal raisin cookies.

Wow I just reread that last tag and it makes ... no sense I am so sorry lmfao. I started it at 3am.

[stakes]

Oh, believe me, there will be an abundance of chocolate chip.

lol no worries, my deductive and improv skills can always use a polish

[exloserspromise]

Trust me, even if I didn't believe you, hearing about your giant lion would persuade me to do so.

and then giant lion became a dirty joke forever and always.

[stakes]

His name's Bayanai. But I like to call him --

Don't say it. [ That is a deep and manly voice. It came out of a lion who just walked up. surprise steve. ] -- Mufasa.

they aren't ready for your giant lion, Buffy!

[exloserspromise]

[That is a big damn lion. If Steve didn't have nerves of steel he might be freaking out right now.]

Why Mufasa?

[hidden_angel]

Hey that would kind of be cool. Little weird, but still cool. I'd worry if it was Amish country. Nothing there to do. *Hey she loves her blackberry.*

Who ever would be, really.

[stakes]

From The Lion King? Big daddy lion, sometimes a little much with the rules and advice giveage?

[exloserspromise]

Oh, a pop culture reference! I haven't had time to catch up on what I've missed yet, so anything past 1944 goes right over my head.

[exloserspromise]

Amish country has plenty to do! It's just that most of it isn't very fun. [Steve is the kind of person who'd space out and over-churn the butter.]

[stakes]

Wha-- 1944?! Like you are time traveling into the future or whatever dimension this is 1944?

[exloserspromise]

Oh, no, I got pulled from 2010, but before that I'd been frozen since fairly early in 1945. I was just too busy with the war at that point to catch anything new, unlike in '44.

My life is a little weird.

[hidden_angel]

so see, nothing to do. *She's actually done that before. Week long camp in a native village because the Professor thought her group needed a lesson without tech. Her team insists on body armor on fishing trips with her now too.*

[exloserspromise]

What say we agree to disagree? [You whippersnappers and your practical field trips.]

[hidden_angel]

*Hey! Blame the Professor! Okay, no Blame the fact Logan didn't want to babysit.* Okay that works.

[stakes]

... Oh. Because that totally makes sense. I could also offer brushing up of the popculture-related skillage as incentive, I guess. But it's not as tasty as cookies.

You're so very not alone in that. Trust me.
