[So this is awkward. Liz has never been very good at talking about business beyond "what do you need me to burn". Handling everyone as a group was always Kate's thing - but Kate isn't here, and Hellboy's skills with rounding people up usually leave something to be desired. So she's just going to put on her best poker-face and do this.

Thankfully, she's always been good at keeping a straight face.]

I'm sure something everyone's noticed about this place is that there's no shortage of paranormal things going on. Some of you may be used to it, while others probably aren't.

For those of you that don't know me, I'm Agent Elizabeth Sherman, and back home I work for the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. Our job was to research, monitor, and investigate paranormal happenings around the world. ... And defend mankind from it, whenever it came to that. [Which it did. Very frequently.]

Considering the nature of this place, I thought it would be wise to try and put together something similar over here. That way the next time something happens, we'll have a group ready to take care of the problem without having to worry about civilians and other non-combatants getting caught up in the mess.

Of course, it's the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. So along with fighters, we'll need people with knowledge of the paranormal - and who could maybe help with looking into finding more information about the nature of the things found in this world - people who can keep records of what's already happened... office kind of stuff, basically. [She does paperwork when she has to, but it's not her forte, okay.]

If you're interested, let me know your experience with this sort of thing and what you're planning to contribute, and we can work something out.

I'm afraid my knowledge of the supernatural doesn't go beyond basic concepts of myths and the like, but I'd certainly be interested in some kind of collaboration. Something like that sounds exceedingly useful here.

[memoriesinsmoke]

We could probably work something out. Any sort of help would be useful, honestly. [So long as they know what they're doing, which Liz knows Peggy does.]

[shootingshields]

I observe a lot and speak with a number of kedan. I can gladly share anything potentially relevant. I may even have information in some of the notes I've compiled already - I can look through and check.

video

[memoriesinsmoke]

That'd be great, actually. Maybe you can bring your notes over and we could go over them together? I'll make tea.

video

[shootingshields]

Yes, I can certainly do that. When about?

video

[memoriesinsmoke]

Maybe in about an hour or so? It'd give me some time to organize the place first.

video

[shootingshields]

That's perfect. I'll get it all together and head over accordingly.

video

[memoriesinsmoke]

Great. Hope you don't mind that I invited someone else along, too.

video

[shootingshields]

Not in the slightest. May I ask who?

video

[memoriesinsmoke]

Kara Zor-El. You ever met her?

video

[shootingshields]

I can't say I have, though I'm fairly certain I've seen her over the consoles.

video

[memoriesinsmoke]

She seems sweet enough. She's more interested in the information side of things, so I figured this could work out well enough if she joins in.

Anyway, I'll see you soon.

video

[shootingshields]

Excellent. You can't go wrong with that.

[Then she nods, gives Liz a brief smile.] Yes, I'll be over soon.

video ---> action????????

[memoriesinsmoke]

[And Liz will just go ahead and get everything ready for when Peggy and Kara arrive.]

action!!

[shootingshields]

[Peggy's prompt, like usual. She shows up with a handful of notes, collected easily within the last hour - but considering her suite's next door to Liz's, it's not a very long trip to make. She knocks twice, politely.]

double-teamed >:D

[notdreaming]

[ Kara took her time walking over, since she had an hour to kill. By the time she makes it over it's about the right time she figures. She doesn't have a watch. But seeing someone else knock on the right door is promising. ]

Is this Agent Sherman's room?

oops gonna reply first

[shootingshields]

[Peggy looks over when she hears someone approaching, and when the other woman speaks, she smiles a little.]

Yes, it is. Kara Zor-El, I take it?

Wakka wakka /throws in another

[notdreaming]

Yes. [ Kara smiles. She's in the right place, that's a good start. And they have a few seconds for introductions before Agent Sherman opens the door. ] She didn't tell me your name.

oops i will too

[shootingshields]

[She holds out her free hand.] Agent Peggy Carter. It's a pleasure to meet you.

oh i see how i is /RUNS OFF

[memoriesinsmoke]

[And Liz will go ahead and open that door.]

Hey. I guess I don't have to introduce you two now? [She steps aside.]

Anyway, come on in. I've got tea.

NO COME BACK

[notdreaming]

[ Kara shakes her hand briefly before turning to Agent Sherman. ]

I guess not. [ She steps aside to let Agent Carter enter first. ]

REACHES

[shootingshields]

[Peggy offers Liz a slight smile for greeting, then steps inside with a nod at Kara. Despite knowing Liz well enough to not be wary, she still cases the room - it's the first time she's been in the newly rebuilt suite, too.]

[But she waits for them to file in, waits to see where Liz directs them.]

IT'S TOO LATE

[memoriesinsmoke]

[Liz just gestures to a nearby couch as she heads for the kitchen.]

Have a seat, I'll be there in just a second.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE WHEN YOU HAVE SUPERSPEED

[notdreaming]

[ And Kara trails in last, taking a seat as instructed. She too has scoped out all of the possible escape routes, although the chances of her being overpowered and needing to escape are pretty minimal. ]

CHASES

[shootingshields]

[Peggy sits down, too, setting what she's brought on the empty space beside her. She offers Kara a friendly smile, but she's hesitant to start any small talk that's liable to be interrupted by Liz's return.]
