◉ Video + Action
Who: Clint "Hawkeye" Barton and alls a' yous
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action?: First Breath if you wanna.
Where: Casa de Barton aboard the SS First Breath
When: Now
[The camera of Clint's communicator device flicks on, and it stares for a few seconds at some high, dull grey corner of a room. By mistake? It's dusty up there, dingy you might even say, but it sets the tone pretty perfectly because although the claustrophobic angle widens when he begins to pan the camera around, the dinge does not receed. It's his room, but, it could be anyone's room. No single foot of it declares 'Clint Barton'. It barely declares 'human habitation'. He owns a bed, and there are things lurking under it. One corner of the room is where the duffle bag lives... and that's it for home decor. So actually, as it turns out, he's showing the fleet a three-sixty degree view of his dismal quarters on purpose. He sets the device on his bed and angles it toward himself, where he sits on the floor a few feet away.]
Hey.
[How to start with this? Seriously.]
Okay, I need your help. Does anyone think maybe there's a way to make this place look like it isn't a prison cell? What kind of person lives in a place that looks like this? Seriously I ask you. Maybe a rug over there, or I could put some paintings up. I could get one of those elephants that you point at the door.
A vase?
[That's literally all of his ideas. He's gesturing non-noncommittally over his shoulder, even, so it's not like he's got plans for where to put these things even if he had them.]
...Mood lighting...
[He'd heard that somewhere one time.]
And I know there are some new people, so just, fair warning - I need to see your mouth. My ears aren't working right. It's a hassle but whatever. So, ideas?

Sure, but then I'll have to decide whose advice to take. That's a whole other thing.
Re: [ video ]
Why not simply listen and form your own opinions? After all, they are only suggestions, not commands.
[ video ]
[Clint had historically made the mistake of surrounding himself with, shall we say, strong-willed sorts of people.]
Re: [ video ]
[ video ]
[Yeah he wasn't kidding anyone. But in his defense, most of the people he surrounded himself with would barrel in whether he expected it or not. Even if he outright objected. They always had opinions. They wanted to make them his opinions. He figured this time he'd make it easy for them.]
If your window breaks you don't try fix it yourself. You call your window-guy.
[Terrible analogy Clint. The thing about your window-guy is he fixes your window for you.]
Re: [ video ]
[ This is . . . endearing. ]
No one can decide with or for you, you know.
[ video ]
[This is really getting away from him.]
It's not for nothing -- people have said some things.
[Hurtful thing. In the past. About his windows.]
Re: [ video ]

Okay deal. What's your specialty?
Re: [ video ]
[ Give it a few minutes. Then Leto realizes that was too vague. ]
I can specialize in anything - it's my, ah, talent.
[ video ]
[Hawkeye is the kind of guy who just goes with it. Your superpower, that is. Laser eyes? Yeah okay. Chicken whisperer? He's seen weirder. So, a little bit of clarification and he'll be right there with you.]
Re: [ video ]
[ video ]
[It was important to make sure they were on the same page before he committed to anything.]
Just because you want to?
[Clint had this pegged as a mutant-thing. Not least because the guy was being cagey on the details.]
Re: [ video ]
[ He pauses. And then signs it in ASL. ]
I can be anything and anyone at any given moment.
[ video ]
Handy.
[You know, like, literally.]
