Who: Natasha Romanoff + you (+ maybe some Bucky Barnes)
Broadcast: Video
Action: Mostly no, but we could work something out.
When: Now

[The video feed start, focusing tightly on Natasha's face, the only visible backdrop a rather generic portion of cabin wall.]

So checking the date, seems like it's been a while. Nice to see everyone's back in the air. Hopefully in one piece. I see a few people have left.

Anyone want to fill me in on the important details? Or should we let sleeping dogs—

[The sound of a door cuts her off the, and Natasha looks up. Whoever she sees, her expression softens. She smiles slightly, lifting her chin slightly and turning her head to catch a kiss from some loser tall enough that only the lower half of his face makes it in the frame. The stubble on his chin and the shape of his mouth might be enough to identify him though.]

A lot of catching up to d—

[Suddenly the feed cuts out.]

Fair point, but usually red suns are harder to find.

[outstandingbalance]

Not entirely unusual here, though? So how'd that go down, weaknesses aside.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, just you typical convenience store robbery. I managed to talk the gunmen out of doing anything drastic until the police showed up.

[outstandingbalance]

I'm sure you did. More than a pretty face, huh? Or in this case, a fist.

[takingkarabusiness]

I guess I do have other skills.

[outstandingbalance]

I guess you do.

So anything else I missed that I should know about?

[takingkarabusiness]

My new shipmates apparently decorated the Tourist with cannibal corpses.

I haven't really talked to them about that yet.

[outstandingbalance]

When you say decorated, you mean...?

[Not approving.]

Because that is evocative.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's what Pavel told me.

How Jim let that happen, I have no idea.

[outstandingbalance]

So who exactly was the interior decorator?

[takingkarabusiness]

Our newest members, Adawolfe and Anders, I think. It's unclear what Fenris had to say about it.

[outstandingbalance]

Haven't met either of them, so I guess I can't offer any insight into that. But I'm not sure about people who'd do that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Apparently their world is quite different from either of ours. It would have to be very different.

[outstandingbalance]

Sounds like it is. I know the kind of people who would do that in my world.

[takingkarabusiness]

Same here, and I certainly wouldn't want to share a ship with them.

[outstandingbalance]

That is some medieval shit.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'll have to ask them what they were thinking.

[outstandingbalance]

If you get an answer, let me know?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I will.

I'm the only woman on the ship anymore. Isn't that weird? None of them even have girlfriends.

[outstandingbalance]

Depends. How many people are on the ship these days?

[Natasha's been the only woman on a team a number of times. Usually it's not by chance.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Six, including me.

[outstandingbalance]

That leaves you pretty out numbered.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah... Not that I don't enjoy hanging out with guys, I'm just saying.

[outstandingbalance]

Believe me, I know what you mean. I've been there.

[takingkarabusiness]

What's your team's ratio?
