CALL.net : VIDEO | UN: Hawkguy

[weekend_avenger]

[Hi! here's a crooked camera angle of Clint, he sort of looks like he just woke up-- or just had an exciting brawl with a box of bandaids. Either way it's not a good look.

He scratches at at least a day's worth of scruff on his chin and reaches to straighten his CALL device out... it's still crooked but A for effort, right?]

So this lets me talk to all you guys in that crazy city, right? Cities... place, wold? I kinda got the run down -- and had a look around? Also pretty sure I almost had to fight a dragon but...

Um. Hi, I'm Clint and I'm the new guy?

Where do I get coffee around here?

[ A rich, accented female voice answers him: ]

Tomorrowland has a nice deli - not dissimilar from the sort you might find in New York. Their coffee is good, their BLTs are exceptional.

[ This is just too good for her to resist, okay? ]

[weekend_avenger]

[Except he kinda knows an Asgardian accent when he hears one, and she doesn't sound like either Sif or Val.]

I'm pretty sure I'm still in D&D land, so if I can figure out how to get there from here...

[story_and_teller]

[ There are a lot of ladies in Asgard though. 8D ]

Hold on a moment, I'll send you a map.

[ True to her word, a map - drawn on a napkin in spidery thin lines - is sent moments later, several routes drawn out in red and green. ]

Green is relatively safe, red is not.

[weekend_avenger]

[That he even knows a few Asgardians is weird enough. And the question is sort of on the tip of his tongue, but he's in like crazy-go-nuts world, so maybe there's just people here like that?]

Where does red go? [Because he has to ask...]

Hey. [Harry'll give a little half-wave to the camera.] Welcome to the SFC. I'm Harry.

As far as I know, the City of Romance is like... coffee shop central. That's probably your best bet. Assuming you can settle on which one to go to, that is.

[weekend_avenger]

[Oh a face! That's better than anonymous voices being vaguely vague ]

Oh man there's a Romance city too? What's that like? I feel like that's something I have to put on a nice shirt for.

[goblinjr]

[Harry stinks at being anonymous and vague anyway.]

You could probably walk around naked over there and I don't think anyone would care. It's, uh... I dunno. It's pretty all over the place. It can go from cozy and casual to fancy and romantic in a heartbeat. There's like, a comfy little park, a whole avenue dedicated to fashion, fancy restaurants, and... well. Like I said, a bunch of coffee shops. It's a meet cute staple or something.

[weekend_avenger]

I don't have a good track record with hot coffee and being naked, so I think I'll pass on that one. [TMI Clint...]

But at least there aren't monsters in that city? Right?

[dragonring]

A dragon? Are you stuck at Sorcery? [Once you get used to the place it's not that bad, but Dave wouldn't wish it as a first stop for anyone modern, and that's what this Clint guys looks like, judging by the clothes and the bandaids.] The best coffee and food is at Romance, but if you don't wanna deal with the awkwardness, Carmichael's at Tomorrow is pretty cool.

[weekend_avenger]

It's kinda where I ended up, yeah. This, uh, inn doesn't have a coffee maker. Or... electricity? [But everyone seems to think his bow is awesome, so he likes this place.

And don't worry Dave, he always kind of looks like this.]

I'll make a note, cool futurey city sounds like a safer bet.

[dragonring]

Yeeeah, Sorcery is stuck in medieval times. So watch out for the dragons, and the goblins, and the sirens, and-- you get the idea. But there's still a subway line that connects all the sections of the city if you want to get out of there.

[Dave nods, agreeing with that bet.]

I mean, they all have their super crazy days? But I think they made Tomorrow the welcome hub for a reason.

[weekend_avenger]

I'm pretty sure the guy that runs this place i'm staying at is an ogre... but I didn't want to say anything. [He drops his voice in a conspicuous whisper]

Oh, subway! [He was paying some attention right? he should know this] I was just going to... borrow a horse.

[iron_man]

[ Jesus, can this guy hold the camera straight? Although, by the bandaids on his face, maybe he really can't? Who knows.

Either way, Tony raises an eyebrow slightly. ]

A dragon? Huh. Where were you?

[weekend_avenger]

[to his credit he just kinda woke up]

Um... Harry Potter land I think? I mean, I still am, but there are less dragons in this inn thing.

[He drops his chin in his hand.] You look like a guy I know.

[iron_man]

I've seen the flying cars, but haven't encountered any dragons.

[ Tony narrows his eyes slightly for a moment, as if trying to figure something out. ] Yeah? Must be a handsome fellow.

I'm Tony.

[weekend_avenger]

You're probably hanging out in the wrong place.

He thinks he is. [A beat and Clint snorts. And it's not a surprise to him because he's done this whole 'alternate reality' versions, or 'clones', or'robot body doubles' song and dance before. Was that also in the brochure?]

As in Tony Stark? Oh no, then you two would probably love each other.

[Whoever this guy is, it sounds like he's literally yelling into the device, so that's...fine.]

Hello, Clint! I, too, am new to this location, so if you procure any potentially life-saving information, please relay that to the rest of us, ha-ha!

[weekend_avenger]

[Oh wow hey, lets take it down a notch.]

Sure thing... guy. [Well he hadn't said his name.] What sort of life saving info are you looking for? Like self defense or... first aid? Because I'm only good at one of those.

[Even though by the looks of him, he's not good at either.]

[roberteo]

Any pertinent information you might find to be important! Dangerous areas, and the like.

[weekend_avenger]

Oh man, i'm your guy for that job!

So far, Skyrim here is filled with danger. I was gonna check out the providence of sexy times next, but from experience I can already tell you that love hurts so that place is probably pretty scary too.

[dejah_thoris]

Hello, Clint. My name is Dejah. [ She sounds a bit awkward, like this is her first time using the video feeds, but her smile is genuine enough. ]

I have found a wonderful place in the City of Tomorrow that makes fairly passable coffee. The Deli right near the Tower?

Also, might I inquire as to the nature of the dragon you encountered? I'm a bit of a naturalist, so I find creatures like that to be particularly intriguing.

[weekend_avenger]

Oh hi [She's a pretty lady so he doesn't pick up on the awkward.]

I think I passed that one, but I'll give it a shot. [He has a coffee shop check list now. So things are looking up.]

I don't know about dragon nature, but it was big and kinda green and spit like... gas? I pretty much hightailed it out of there after our initial tussle.

[dejah_thoris]

[ She leans a bit closer to the camera, eyes wide. ]

How big? Forgive me, I understand that such details are secondary when one is intent on not being the creature's next meal, but I have only read about such beasts in books of folklore. And where were you? Is there any chance it would still be where you left it?

video, un DianaOfThemyscira

[clay_and_truth]

[A less crooked angle of... well. It's Wonder Woman. Not that he'd know her but I can only describe Wonder Woman so many times before it gets repetitive.]

Hello Clint, I'm Diana. [Americana costume vibe, Greek-ish accent. Xena meets Disney Princess kinda vibe that yes, somehow comes across via the phone screen]

I've found no shortage of coffee houses, particularly in The City of Tomorrow.

There is also one in Nightmare that only serves Pumpkin Spice lattes and variations on that theme. It's hard to miss, they leave their Halloween decorations out year-round. I'll send you the list I've been making for myself.

[file attachment of coffee house locations, Diana's reviews, though her menu recommendations are all teas and vegetarian food. Sorry.]

[weekend_avenger]

[Oh man is every lady in this place ridiculously hot? Wow he's in trouble.]

I'm not so sure I want to visit a place called Nightmare, but I like the sound of a place that's it always Halloween. [He's still kind of a kid at heart when it comes to holidays.]

Thanks! I'll be sure to return the favor once I've explored a little more.
