[Console, whatever. Sure she got the run down on the thing but Mai's pretty much been ignoring it for the past day. She hasn't even bothered to really look on the network itself even if she has no intention of making an entry to it.

Now she's bothering though, mainly because she just wants to ask:]

More'n I'm comfortable with. Last month I got minorly possessed by some kinda black magic tumor. [A nonchalant shrug to accompany the rather bizarre statement. Of course, he still feels terrible about that, since he shanked his best friend, but he's trying to save face in front of a pretty girl.] It may or may not have been our problem if we'd all been able to stay home, but they made it our problem here.

Then they're morons. [Bucky Barnes is not drinking that koolaid, nosireebob.] But this... thing does have a real hold around here, I've seen enough to believe that much, and frankly, I'd like to get off this crazy ride in one piece, y'know?

[There's a slight dryly amused breath.]

I'll agree to that idea. It's not like I want to stay here forever more than anyone else. Or go home in bits.

So hey, could be worse. We fight this thing, we save our own skins. [He shrugs lightly, offers what he hopes is a charming smile.] And you could be stuck with worse people. The city can be fun sometimes.
