003 [VIDEO] Anonymous Location

[shorttempered]

[Mark can be seen sitting at one of the many internet cafes in the Earth sector. With Eve gone, he had to go back to these to post to the network as Mark, as his console belongs to "Invincible". Gotta try to have that secret identity. He smiles and gives a dorky little wave.]

So uh, if we were back on Earth it would be pretty close to Halloween, wouldn't it? Uh, those of you from Earth, I mean.... And Halloween is nothing without horror movies--especially zombie movies. As I don't think moves are an option here, I'm trying to get my horror fix somewhere else. Suggestions??

[And with that important message out of the way, he changes the filter.]

[Filtered to Bianca Reyes]

Hey, uh, Mis--Bianca, sorry. Do you might if I stop by later? I uh, have something for you.

Typical curve wrecker talk. I hated you in high school.

Seeing as most of us have crushing survivor's guilt as it is... that's probably for the best it's avoided. Hm... [Starts looking around his room for some form of inspiration.]

[superoverachiever]

You sound like my friends. But if me doing good means they have to try too, I'm not sorry.

[Ava checks her room, too, but it's mostly books, notes and training equipment. Which is her idea of fun, but probably not a great incentive.] Got anything?

Video

[shorttempered]

Yeah, but I did try. [...Until he became Invincible, anyway.]

[His room is pretty much furnished with just the stuff it came with, with a few dirty shirts and pants strewn about. His eye catches a take out box sticking out of his trash can.] ...Food?

Then you were getting the most of your education, right? The point isn't the competition [although from the way she says it, it's pretty clear she enjoys the competition. Like, a lot. And especially the winning.], the point is to make us all better.

I was thinking about that. Maybe like, pizza or something from home.

...Although where 'home' is might depend on the winner.

[shorttempered]

Dude, you weren't getting C's!


And landfall only gives us items it thinks we need, so it's not like we can ask for "food from home." But do the Kedan do like... gift certificates or something? We could do that.

Or we can find someone to cook.

...Sometimes I only got A's. [Which was just as bad as a C to her, okay. She at least has the decency to look a little embarrassed, though.]

I dunno. I bet we could get one store to do it. Or a cook. That's what I was thinking. Know anyone who'd volunteer?

[shorttempered]

[$%#$%@$#^$#%$] I hate you so much right now...

Not really. I mean I'm friendly with some of the workers at the places I go to eat out by work, but I wouldn't say we're close.

[superoverachiever]

[Well, that's pretty fair. Moving on to a different topic...]

Yeah, I can't promise much either. I've been learning more about how to cook since the Heeeeooouse [her ID may be compromised, but she can still try to keep SHIELD secrets off open networks. If for no other reason than to build good habits] crashed. Burned. My house burned down. Because a car crashed into it.

[shorttempered]

[Wow that was quite possibly the worst lie ever. But superhero protocol follows that you roll with it and pretend it was completely intentional. (right?)] That's... awful. Sorry about your heeeeeeeeeeeeeouse. [Says it like a 90s MTV vjay.]

And how goes those endeavors?

Video

[superoverachiever]

Well, eating my cooking isn't a punishment, but I'm not sure that it's a reward, either.

Video

[shorttempered]

So you're better than me.

Video

[superoverachiever]

At cooking. And school. But I'm sure you've got your talents, too.

[shorttempered]

[I can punch things in the face and destroy planets by flying through them.] I can tell you the plot to every issue of Science Dog?

[superoverachiever]

Well, it's something.

[shorttempered]

Sadly, it's hardly useful.
