to: everyone

[assembles]

Hey there, everyone. My name is Steve Rogers and I'm one of the people most recently summoned to the Free Cities. I'm also a good friend of Sam Wilson's — we've worked together for a number of years. I know he's made quite the name for himself here.

I've only been here for a little over a month, but in that time I've noticed a sudden increase in military activity within Cadens. There's increased drills and training exercises, equipment moving in and out, that kind of thing. I went by Fort Wilbridge and tried to ask some questions, but all they really had to say was that they were acting out of an abundance of caution. Almost like they're expecting something.

It seems suspicious, so I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a change in how the factions are behaving, whether it's something I haven't picked up on in Cadens or something going on in Thorne or Solvunn. I figure it might be a good idea to compare notes so we won't be completely blindsided if something else is coming our way.

That's all I've got for now, but it's nice to meet you all. In a manner of speaking, anyway.

Not sure what a guy cuddling a clothes hanger has to do with Thor being, uh, whatever he is, but... thanks?

IGNORE NERO, HE'S A FOOL.

IT'S CLEARLY A... FISH. OR MAYBE A RABBIT?

I can't believe you guys are doing this to Himeka.
It's clearly a bird.

Seriously, what kind of hell world do you guys come from? A bird?

[carmesi]

My head hurts, Nero.

[ALL THIS TALKING]

[ofthesword]

Please don't blow up my room again.

[ofthesword]

[Oh fuck that was an intrusive thought IGNORE IT]

Hey, I think you can shut it out if you need to? I can tell you if you miss anything. Which you won't. I think it's just Thor yelling at everyone. (Seriously, you worked with this guy??)

[ofthesword]

You're showing your ass thinking fish and rabbits look enough alike that this is a case either/or and you're calling me a fool? I'm getting secondhand embarrassment for this team of yours.

[thunders]

ART IS INTERPRETIVE. I WAS... SEEKING THE DEEPER MEANING OF HIMEKA'S ARTISTIC EXPRESSION.

MY TEAM LOVES ME, BY THE WAY. ASK THE CAPTAIN.

[ofthesword]

Buddy. Come on.

Which one? Looks like they have, like, three. Y'all really need to get it together.

[assembles]

Two, actually. But I take your point. Don't want to confuse the message too much.

[ofthesword]

[He's getting that sense he's about to step into a minefield.]

I mean, it totally looks like whatever you were meaning it to look like. Yeah. Just a fun re-interpretation from me.

Wait, you think my skills were amazing? [Heh. Somewhere he's sniffing, rubbing his nose, looking chuffed. Suck it, Thor.] I mean, yeah. It's great. For you. Definitely.

[carmesi]

Was that "for you" really necessary??

[ofthesword]

She said it first! I was just agreeing!

[He almost doesn't know what to say. Is this.... real.... kindness???? From one of the coven??]

"Lovely?" Oh. Uh. Thanks. I would've gone with "informative," but. Yeah, lovely works.
