Avengers Academy presents, homeless and looking!

[blackandlight]

Man, you act like being photogenic is a bad thing. Those icons aren't gonna make themselves.

Now here's the deal. You wanna drop me in a game? Sure, fine, whatever, have fun, can't be any worse than some places I've been. Two requirements. I want a generous timeshare in the limelight, and let's say-- six hot chicks to cater to my every whim. At least six. Harems are the new black.

Also - no Survivor. Just putting that out there.

[... OKAY HE'S ACTUALLY TAKEN ABACK AT THAT.]

Not what I meant, dude.

[he's at least smart enough not to go 'ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS JAPANESE!!11!!]

[gameboy]

[ his next response would have been: THE JAPANESE INVADED KOREA YOU JERK. but that response is enough satiate him!! ]

Amadeus Cho. Herc's best friend, seventh smartest guy on the planet, CEO of Olympus Group... you've probably seen me on TV.

[blackandlight]

[he whistles, impressed despite himself.]

I knew I'd seen you somewhere. Yeah. Name's Striker. With the Avengers.

[HOLDS OUT A HAND? schmoozing? why not.]

[gameboy]

Yo.

[ SHAKING THAT OUTSTRETCHED HAND, looking rather pleased with himself ]

Avengers, huh? Tried that gig for a while, but the whole team thing kind of held me back.

[blackandlight]

Hey, don't I know it. First chance I get, I'm going solo. The Avengers thing is more like a stopover point than a final destination.

[gameboy]

It looks great on the resume, and they make pretty sweet references. Things like, "Hank Pym? I know him; we're almost BFFs."

[ and I have no idea what the heck he was doing during Dark Reign so ]

So, what's your power? Super pheromones?

[blackandlight]

[grinning, now.]

What, the costume didn't give it away?

[he conjures a little arc of electricity, it chases the impulse down his arm to his fingertips before he 'extinguishes' it in the palm of his hand.]

I don't need the pheromones.

[gameboy]

[ raising an eyebrow SOMEWHAT IMPRESSED. This guy reminds him of Zeus-the-reborn-brat ]

Herc wore a skirt, and I was hoping your power wasn't that obvious.

[ ... ] Does the spandex work?

[blackandlight]

Hey, there's no harm in advertising. If they think lightning's the only thing I've got the corner market on, that's their funeral.

[... and then just. a moment of pure, unadulterated scoffing.]

Pfff, 'does the spandex work'. Take a look at me. What do you think?

[wow that came out a little more gay than he'd intended. W E L P. odds are it'll go unnoticed.]

[gameboy]

[ DOT DOT DOT... ]

I think it makes you look like the next contestant on 'What Not to Wear'.

[blackandlight]

Hey!

[MAN HIS EGO...]

It's a hit with the 18-24 demographic, thanks.

[gameboy]

Know what else is a hit with that demographic? Jersey Shore and Vampire Diaries.

[blackandlight]

Okay, Jersey Shore I'll grant you, but Vampire Diaries is at the very least better than Twilight. Give credit where credit is due, man.

[ex_proficiency766]

What would that final destination be? Has Survivor called back yet?
