File #001 audio;

[She's been in Luceti for a day now. A day was more than enough time for the wings to stop hurting, the shock to wear off, and for her to find her old uniform and dress a little less like a girl on her way to primary school in the summer. A day was long enough to learn that this place wasn't entirely hostile and that it was extensive, reaching from the beach to the mountains and out until she hit an invisible wall that seemed to cut her off from whatever lay beyond it.

A day was also long enough to realize she was stuck and that the book was a method of communicating with others. People seemed to talk freely over it and she wasn't the only one arriving either. Captain Nathan Spencer, Peter Parker, Eugene, Sue Richards, Noel Vermillion - names that meant nothing to her, but it indicated that people came and went here according to someone else's agenda.

It hadn't taken her long to find the Guide, either, and after skimming through it, she felt a bit more...well, level was probably the best way to describe it. She's taken to hiding out in the woods for now, waiting to assess the situation before she moved into town. Now there was just one problem that remained: revealing herself to the enclosure and to possibly hostile elements.

As I'm not the only person to recently arrive to this place and I'm sure you are all quite tired of repeating the same welcome speeches, let me introduce myself and be brief about it.

Agent Carter, British Royal Military.

Any information not to be found in the guide already so helpfully provided would be appreciated.

Fair enough, agent.

[The smallest of smiles leaks into his voice.]

Captain Nathan Spencer, TASC. I've only just arrived myself so I haven't got all that much to offer you outside of the intel in the guide. But if I find something interesting, I'll keep you in the loop.

[Making allies is always a good thing.]

Thanks. Is there anything in specific you're looking to find out? Just so I know what I'm keeping my eyes and ears open for.
bionically: (Come again?)

Better grab yourself a shovel 'cause I get the feeling we'll be digging deep for a good while.

[Bad jokes. He's full of 'em.]
bionically: (I loved her; solemnly looking down)

That look on her face! It's friggin' hilarious. XD

Know I could use a History of Luceti 101 class, myself.

[A beat.]

Like I said, I'll keep you posted for what it's worth right now. Someone's gonna point us in the right direction sooner or later.
bionically: (Standing ready)

My guess is that most of them are damn tired of doing it every time someone's dropped off here.

...And then there're always a couple of people who get their jollies playing games and messing around with somebody.

Someone giving you a hard time? [He may be teasing, just a little bit. Goodnaturedly, mind you.]
bionically: (You did good)

[personal profile] bionically 2012-11-06 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He snorts softly, admiring the undercurrent of asskickery in her tone he thinks he's picking up.] ...I don't doubt it.
bionically: (I still love her; solemnly looking down)

It stands for Tactical Arms and Security Council - so, as you can guess, their business is military intelligence.

[There's a thoughtful pause before he adds:]

I owe their engineers my life.

[After the accident, it had meant all the world to have been approached during his rehabilitation leave and to have gotten that second chance at life. And he'd been all too glad to set aside lingering personal problems to take on the perilous rescue mission they'd assigned him. God, it had been good to move again, to feel independent and free and stronger than he'd ever been.]
bionically: (Looking at arm)

[personal profile] bionically 2012-11-06 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah.

[He smiles to himself unseen, a small, pursed-lipped smile.]

You know, I think you'd fit right in with TASC. They could always use more people like you.
bionically: (And BIONIC AAAAAARM)

[personal profile] bionically 2012-11-06 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Understood. Hell, it was possible they weren't even from the same time or even world.]

...How's coffee sometime? [He can't help but let it slip, wondering briefly if a casual half-joke will bite him in the ass. Oh well - what's life without taking some risks?]

If nothing else, it'd be nice just to see who I've been talking to.
bionically: (neutral)

[personal profile] bionically 2012-11-07 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Understood. [Note to self: be mindful of playfulness around Agent Carter.]
bionically: (You did good)

[personal profile] bionically 2012-11-07 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it, agent.

[It'd be really silly for him to take this personally.]

Anyway, I'll see if I can get us some answers about this place for the next time I catch you... although by then, you may be way ahead of me. We'll see how it goes.
