[ Bruce drags a hand over his face before eying the feed carefully. Usually he wouldn't even touch a computer, because there's the problems with being traced and found and then there's the whole slew of problems that come out of that, but. He just got dragged out of an ocean by some entirely new and fascinating lifeforms after dying or he's just hallucinating something spectacular while the other guy goes and deals with whatever he's dealing with. He's not sure which is actually happening, but.

Either way. Can't hurt, right? ]

So... Uh. [ A deep breath as he tries to blink himself into more alertness but. There is a reason he's looking as raggedy as he does, and that was without an entre vous to turtletopia. ] L-look, I'm not trying to go and be, you know, rude or ungrateful or a-anything like that, but. This place is j- It's way, way too much for me, and. I mean, there's a swimming pool. Right in the next room over. And th- I'm not that guy.

[ He's rambling and he's tired, and. Shaking his head, he rubs at the back of his neck. ]

Anyway, er. If I could maybe downgrade, or... Point is, this is all a little more-- More than I'm used to. Thanks.

[Slightly amused, slightly concerned. Not in uniform, but still - a soldier.]

There are some of us whose suites are inside trees. The place offers all sorts of options.

But maybe, downgrade or not, you want to catch some rest. You look like you need it. Sir.

[hulk]

[ He grimaces and waves a hand. ]

Th- You don't have to. I'm not a "sir". At all or, you know. Ever. Just Bruce works.

But yeah, I'll. I've had a rough couple of days, and I'll probably sl- The point is I can sleep practically anywhere and I don't need all of this, so. It could get better use. That's what I'm saying.

It's a habit - apologies, Bruce. [Countdown until he calls him sir again is a go.] I'm Bucky.

I understand what you mean - I'd not been in living places this large before, really, until waking up here. But they might get earned, or something of the sort. If you'd like, after you get some rest, I could tell what I know. If nobody else does, of course, sometimes people who show up have people they know around already. Or who know them.

[Favrielle looks at him with a raised eyebrow, because really he could probably make use of having a swimming pool to clean up if nothing else.]

You'd prefer they give us less, in addition to everything that we're forced to deal with here?

[hulk]

I'm not saying f- I meant just, you know. For me, that's all, not for the whole general... Protocol. Or whatever. ...Ma- Miss.

[flawedgoods]

You might as well learn to enjoy it. It's not nearly as nice in other parts of the city.

[Favrielle gives him a level look, though it's slightly less intense from the polite Miss he tacks on the end.]

[usavatar]

Dr. Banner. [HE WOULD FACEPALM IF HE WASN'T TRYING TO BE WELCOMING.] I'd say it's good to see you, but given the circumstances, it's probably better for me to just say hello.

[hulk]

Captain? [ Frowning at the screen as he starts to push up glasses that aren't there before realizing... Oops. ] Oh n- Well, yeah, the circumstances being--

[ Welp, Bruce thinks the circumstances are that they're dead. Oops. Again. ]

I didn't think you'd b- I mean, me, sure, but.

[usavatar]

You didn't think I'd be what? [SRSLY BRUCE HE'S NOT A MIND READER.]

[iron_ego]

Not 'that guy,' huh? [He weighs the pros and cons of it, snapping his fingers at the end.] Then you'll just have to become 'that guy' because what guy doesn't love having a swimming pool in his living room, Dr. Banner?

[SHRUG.]

Oh, by the way. I don't know if you've met me yet from -- [he pauses and makes a vague upwards gesture] -- whenever you're from, but I? Am a big fan. Big fan of both the science and that other thing.

[hulk]

[ DAMMIT, AVENGERS, STOP BEING DEAD, THIS IS WHY HE DOESN'T WANT FRIENDS. But okay, listening to this whole reply before answering. ]

Mr. S- Tony, I've... Yeah. You've said that before. That whole last part actually, with some, uh. Small changes. [ He's kind of confused, science bro, because. What. What what what? ] What are you talking about meeting you yet, since it was only yesterday? And.

[ Right, back to the topic. ]

And I guess I'm the kind of guy not wanting the pool. Sorry.

video;

[iron_ego]

Well-- [DEVASTATED SIGH. Time for extreme measures.] -- looks like it's time for you to become that guy. Thing is, around here? You're not going to get much slummier than that.

And, uh-- [He strokes his chin briefly, thinking.] -- I'll be honest, I was going to say "I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster" but figured I'd give you at least a day before shoving you out of that closet. [AND PEOPLE SAY HE'S NOT THOUGHTFUL.]

But, no. This yesterday thing? Nu-uh. Not in my books. If you're talking the Avengers Initiative, then that's still a good year in my future. Go figure.

_{( clint sounds tired, when he responds, and also a little wary. he hasn't met bruce yet, after all. )}

Did they happen to fish Thor out of the ocean, with you?

permavideo;

[hulk]

I don't think so. Would have noticed him, he's... Well. He's big enough. [ Welp, it's okay, Clint. He's kind of only really met you for five minutes before Hulking out. But he kind of maybe gets that voice? ] Are y- You're that, uh. The guy with the bow? With Agent Romanoff.

[arches]

_{( there's no mistaking the irony as he says: )} Yeah, that's me.

It's Barton, by the way. My name.

[Steph is using audio so as not to alarm anyone with the state of her right now. Turns out fighting gangsters results in lots of bruises. Who knew?]

This is gonna seem weird, but thank you for disproving a theory I had.

And uh, I'm sure they might be willing to give you one of the smaller suites if you ask in a week or so? Things are kinda hectic still at the moment.

video;

[hulk]

[ Squint? ] And that theory would be-- What, exactly?

I don't even need a suite, j- I'd be fine with a room. But, uh, hectic how?

[andaway]

[Awww Clark likes this guy instantly.]

Water sector, I assume? I was rather surprised about it as well when I got here.

[hulk]

Y- I'm assuming it is. Otherwise all the blue and the actual water got delivered to entirely the wrong place.

[knowsmadness]

I think it's a little more than we're all used to.

[hulk]

I wasn't going to go and assume about the roo- ...Oh. Right, you mean the whole fished out of the water thing. Yeah.

[video]

[dadissues]

I feel ya, man. I mean, look at my place. [He steps aside to allow a look at the interior of his Fire Suite--just look at dat lush carpet, gigantic bed and gargoyles spitting fire outside the windows. And super fancy-looking dressers and such.] Totally not what I'm used to either. But I mean, this kinda seems to be the norm here. Plus back like, a month ago when the first of us got here, the kedan seemed to really want to like, pamper us or something.

But yeah, I think we just gotta deal with it. It's not so bad! Except for the clothes... [He picks at the collar of a slightly rumpled Chinese-style shirt.]

video;

[hulk]

[ ...The gargoyles. Those are. Definitely gargoyles. Yeah, very glad he doesn't have those. ]

Might be normal here, but. That doesn't... [ He shakes his head. ] The clothes are fine, I don't mind those. They're very nice.

[ Go without for a little while, you'll change your tune, kiddo. ]

For goodness sake, stop stammering.

...Sorry?
