02 - A call to arms ... sort of [Video]

[the_other_eight]

[Pepper is sitting at her desk, arms crossed in front of her, datebook sitting open in front of her, and coffee sitting steaming and nearby. She looks very serious as she addresses the camera.]

Good afternoon, as some of you may know, my name is Pepper Potts. I've been doing some talking with several other ... transplants. Miss Carter informed me that there had been talk of a welcoming committee, but as of yet there has been no move to assemble such a party. As such I would like to take it upon myself to do so. This committee is entirely voluntary however. If you have no desire to join said committee then please don't comment here. If, however, you have a friendly demeanor and are good at explaining confusing and seemingly unbelievable situations to people who may or may not be confusing to you, please submit your interest to this message.

[She takes a moment to offer a soft smile to the camera before turning off the feed.]

... wow. [ Except it's said in actual awe and not mockery. ]

You sound so... official. How do you do that?

[She gives Jack a genuine smile.]

Hello Jack. It's good to see you settling in.

Can I count you in?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Yeah, it's not so bad! A little less snow than I'm used to, but one thing at a time.

[ Oh Pepper, look at this face with that offer. ]

Can I??

[hackingyoursensors]

What exactly would we do, aside from being friendly?

Re: [video]

[the_other_eight]

Plenty. The locals don't seem very good at explaining things to new transplants. I think it would be better if things were explained by those of us who have experienced that same confusion before.

Also, if a person who one feels needs to be watched arrives, there's the possibility of early intervention.

[Now you're speaking his language.]

Count me in.

[You sound like one of her dad's business managers.]

I think I could probably manage both those things.

Re: video

[the_other_eight]

[That's how she rolls.]

Good. Then I'll assume that I should pencil you into the group.

I'm afraid I don't have your name.

[backwordscompatible]

Zatanna Zatara.

[...should she spell that out for you?]

[bothbarrels]

I'd be interested in helping out.

[the_other_eight]

Fantastic. What name should I wrote down?

[video]

[littlecousin]

That's a great idea!

[Nita is the friendliest.

Also obviously not-entirely-human, unless humans where she's from have pointed ears.]

Re: [video]

[the_other_eight]

Can I assume that you're interested then?

I just have to ask, so sorry in advance. You're the Pepper Potts that works with Iron Man? [He's heard of her back home of course even if this isn't the same Pepper.]

I could lend a hand with the welcoming committee. Unless you think a green and spiky guy would be a bit too much of an extra shock for people anyway.

Re: [Video]

[the_other_eight]

I prefer to think that I work with Tony Stark, but yes, I work with Iron Man.

[Because Pepper thinks of Tony as the man, not the suit.]

I'm sure we can work with it. What's your name?

[nolimitation]

Explaining confusing and unbelievable situations to confused and frightened people is a big part of my job back home. [ Olivia smiles, a little wryly - it is weird how much she misses it, and even she realizes it. ]

My name's Olivia Dunham, and I'd love to help any way I can.

Re: [video]

[the_other_eight]

Glad to have you on board Olivia.

[tearsinnajar]

That sounds like a good idea. I'm still learning the ropes myself, but my background in journalism might be a help, anyway.

Re: [[video]]

[the_other_eight]

I'm sure that it will. Can I have your name please?

video

[shootingshields]

That was certainly clear enough.

Re: video

[the_other_eight]

I like to make sure I get my point across. Can I count you as in Agent Carter?

[wholenewstory]

I...think I could do that.

[the_other_eight]

Glad to hear it. Can I have your name please?

[trainwrecked]

Hmmm. What do you have in mind, trying to join the kedan when they fish us out of the water, or hanging around the consoles when newcomers are likely to show up and explaining things here in the city?

[What. The question makes sense... to Bucky. But then he skips to the shore-shell-edge now and again anyway.]

Re: video;

[the_other_eight]

If you'd like then go right ahead. I was referring to waiting until they're settled into their apartments and speaking with them.
