perma text that same encryption

[starked]

my suit is in my goddamn room.

[ which isn't an answer, so it's then followed up by this: ]

at the moment, i don't know. there's about twenty things we should be doing, but doing it without everyone getting all in our business about it is next to impossible because everyone is either stuck in the gardens or running rounds to get everyone to the gardens.

yeah that!!

[aimlessness]

in your room. jesus christ, stark.

[ COME ON MAN COME ON ]

give me a list.
we'll go to work.

[starked]

don't jesus christ me. it's not like i knew my ass was going to get locked out.

[ DON'T JUDGE HIM CLINT. JUST DON'T. ]

Kirk's got you on guard duty when there's enough other gunnery kids to do that. This is where I'm saying fuck his order, because Avenger orders take precedence. How warm are you and how willing to be eyes for us are you right now?

[aimlessness]

i can't believe you left your room without it.

[ TOO LATE. ]

i'll make a pass through gunnery, secure what i can and then stick someone else there. not keen on losing weaponry, not when we're understocked as is.
warm enough. i can deal with a little cold. just need to find a good perch.

[starked]

if i wore that thing every moment of the day pepper would kill me. some of us can't have a lightweight thing to carry around.

[ WELL FINE HE'LL BRING THE BOW INTO THIS. ]

fine by me, i just don't want you being the watcher for them. don't care if kirk is going to whine later. and k. find a perch and ping me if you see anything. deal?

Nothing missing from the gunnery as of yet, but I need someone to stay up there just in case.

text;

[aimlessness]

should set up rotating shifts for that.
for all the departments, if we've got the manpower.

text;

[goldshirt]

That's the plan. Mind taking first watch?

text;

[aimlessness]

can do, kid.
i'd say give me time to grab a magazine, but i'm betting all that's locked up.

[goldshirt]

Unless they left them in the bathroom.

[har har]

[aimlessness]

[ oh kirk u so funny ]

then we'd be in luck, wouldn't we.

[goldshirt]

I'll get in touch with you later.

[stacked]

not be as hardcore as security?

[ bored slayers are awful slayers. ]

text »

[aimlessness]

is that what security tells themself to make themselves feel better?

text »

[stacked]

nah, then we tell ourselves you all have little dicks.

[aimlessness]

is there an interdepartmental dick-measuring contest i'm unaware of?

text »

[stacked]

we whip em out and measure on tuesdays.

[aimlessness]

i'll clear my calender.

[stacked]

i got the gold stars ready and waiting.

...faith.

[aimlessness]

faith?

[stacked]

they don't do names where you're from?

shit, ask one of snow's guys. they each got like fifteen to choose from.

[aimlessness]

fifteen, shit. i'm slacking.

the name's barton.

[stacked]

only got one. i travel light, i guess.

least somebody around here knows how to talk decent trash, barton.

[ no really this is her idea of fun. ]

I've been down in the gardens, checking for any injured and making a list to pass on for any who are lost. Encouraging everyone to each other if they need anything is working to help keep the panic down. If there's anything else I can do, let me know.

[aimlessness]

sit tight is apparently the order of the day.

[akidfrombrooklyn]

I'm getting that.

[aimlessness]

should touch base with stark
his armor's locked in his room.

[akidfrombrooklyn]

Something tells me he's not happy about that.

If he's down here somewhere, I'll find him.
