fifteenth bite | video.

( oh, look! it's natasha in the bar. as usual. it's kind of where she hangs out (which might be a moot point, considering the rations). she's standing behind it, leaning on the counter, throwing a knife up and down in one hand. she doesn't seem to be paying a lot of attention to it, but the hilt keeps thwacking into her palm, so she's clearly paying enough attention to not lose a finger or two. )

Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner have been returned home.

( her voice is quiet. dangerously so. she's not brooding the way she was when tony left, but she's definitely .. not ok.

just before the video turns off, her face twists slightly and when the knife comes down in her palm again, she throws it, right at the camera - or just off to the left where it buries itself in the table, quivering slightly.

the video cuts. )

( ooc: all replies will either be text or voice. feel free to have your character be concerned and come to the bar (in loki district) to confront her directly, particularly if they have prior cr. )

Long as you can fight while seriously emotionally fucked up? yeah, sure. You're entitled to not be ok as much as you want as far as I'm concerned.

[redhourglass]

( she shrugs )

As far as I'm concerned, fighting has nothing to do with the rest of this shit. I'll be able to perform just as well as always.

[samantha_grey]

In that case, you can be as god-damned pissed off and fucked up as you want to be, if you ask me. Stars n Stripes isn't here, and you two were close. It's as good a reason as any in my book. I'd probably flip a lid if Loa'd been here the whole time and I lost her. You have no idea how hard it'd been to get her to open up back home. Losing the time we'd have had here would have been... hard.

[she sighed.]

I would have killed something if they'd taken Dusk away. Finding time with that crazed little blond was always hard to begin with.

[redhourglass]

We are close.

( it's pretty much all she'll admit to as far as her relationship with most of the avengers goes. )

But I'll see him back home and we won't lose much. He's used to having to catch up on things, anyway.

[samantha_grey]

Though it doesn't make it easier to have a big fight coming up and him not there to have your back, I'm guessing. [She grunted] He seemed like he could pick up on whatever he needs to fast enough. Bit of a boy scout though.

[redhourglass]

He's the good kind though. Not much of a boy scout anymore, either. He's learning.

( still, she has to shrug. )

I've fought enough on my own to make it without him.

[samantha_grey]

Can any of us ever stay that way forever, I wonder? Well... good. Still, I'm glad he was here for at least a little while. It was... interesting. We had a guy who used to wear colors like him back home.

Kind of a serious asshole though. I'm jealous of you. I'd rather have yours.

[redhourglass]

If anyone could, he would. ( there was something genuinely sweet and innocent about steve rogers. she'd fight to keep it that way, if she could. )

You haven't seen him when he's sassy, clearly.

[samantha_grey]

No, not usually. He's always pretty calm when I talked to him. He's got a ... Sassy side? Takes all kinds I guess, heh.
