[Robyn Lockhart]

I'm in, sir. *salutes*

[General John Heller]

Moved to the first post, so I don't have to scroll so much.

[Kara Hawkins]

You're all just one big fucked up family, aint ya? :|

You know...if anyone around that damn place starts hitting on me I'm going to straight up ask if they're related to that teleporting psychopath or the "rival" family.
Yep.

Just going to be little old me here.



....and that thing that keeps showing up in my dreams. :mischief

(Thanks Jace,this actually helps keep everybody straight. lol)

[Dasquian Belargic]

That's a whole lotta heroes and mutants.

[General John Heller]

It's basically an amalgam of story arcs that have been waiting on the back burner since 2010/2011... so yeah: lots of characters, lots of plots. :ohno

[Boyd]

Room for any other degenerates, General?

[Kara Hawkins]

Hey now. I'm the resident deg..en...er....a....

:smug: Why hello there.

[General John Heller]

Room for any other degenerates, General?

That would depend entirely on what you can do Mister... Boyd, is it?

From the looks of things, I would imagine your power has something to do with your hair being impervious to cutting and shampoo. :|

[Svetlana Ustinov]

*arches a brow*

Anotherrr one? How verry interrresting...

[Boyd]

My powers are of an.. esoteric nature, General. Far easier to demonstrate than to describe for a layman such as yourself ;)

[Robyn Lockhart]

Really now...*eyes the new one*...hmm...

[Kara Hawkins]

Yes yes! A demonstration. I'll bring popcorn!

>_>


<_<


I'm curious about his powers.


That's all.



Really.

[Tom Harriman]

Steady on now, people.

There'll be no demonstrating of anyone's powers until they've submitted to a battery of prodding, probing, and blood tests.

For science. :colbert

[Jonathan Dressler]

For science.

>D

[Glen Fiddich]

For Asgard!

:cheers

[Mina Ward]

For cupcakes! :dance

[Michael Beckett]

Fornication! :glomp

Wait, what?

[Alice Kelly]

:swoon: True love!












:ohno I mean... uhhh... coffee?

[Captain Dan Myers]

Mawwige, is what bwings us togevva!











(What? Even post-apocalyptic universes have the Princess Bride. :uhoh)

[Dahlia Ericsson]

*shakes her head*

Unbelievable...

[Tom Harriman]

^

This is what happens when you don't post often enough, Dee. :colbert

[Captain Dan Myers]

On a serious tangent: if you're an Avengers person and you haven't yet clicked the "Join" button on your invites to the S.H.I.E.L.D user group (or if you haven't got them and need to nag me to rectify that) make sure that you do, so we can discuss stuff and things.

For starters, we're gonna need to name our boat. :uhoh

[Cecil Quinn]

Why haven't you invited me?

:| I am not impressed. I realize my rank is not exactly as fancy as you damn Avengers but I us peons are important too.



Yes I realize how stupid that sounds. No I don't give a crap.

[Johan Schütze]

Mund halten, Herr Quinn. We do not all spend as much time procrastinating when we should be doing our duties, hmm?

:colbert

[Kara Hawkins]

HAHA Cecil... you lose. :lol

[Michael Beckett]

Oh, Cecil. Gets told off by the Captain, and he's still just sitting there all oblivious-like, staring at the sky. :rolleyes

[Cecil Quinn]

Kindly go fuck yourself, Beckett.

:| As for you Hawkins... Yeah. Say goodbye to your in-room HBO.

[Captain Dan Myers]

And as for you, Cecil...

*yoink*

SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR HAT!

:lol Hahahahahahahahahahaha! :lol

*super-leaps away*

[Dahlia Ericsson]

^

This is what happens when you don't post often enough, Dee. :colbertClearly, this is a problem. One I intend to fix with a severe application of posting.

And perhaps an application of ass-kicking as well.

[Robyn Lockhart]

I feel the urge to plant an arrow in someone's backside...except I can't decide who...

*ponders her options*

[Boyd]

The good Captain, perhaps? You might dislodge the stick that's already planted up in his ass.

[Captain Dan Myers]

Definitely not Boyd. Even your superpowers wouldn't be able to hit a target as small as his scrawny backside.

[Robyn Lockhart]

Perhaps I'll just tag both of you for my amusement...

*nocks a pair of arrows*

[Cecil Quinn]

You could always... Oh, I don't know... Get my fucking hat back :colbert

[Robyn Lockhart]

*eyes Cecil* I could. If you asked nicely.

[Lord Pyre]

Food for thought, puny mortals.

From the perspective of SHIELD and NATO, the Avengers is a bit of a PR nightmare. Boyd and John Lester "don't exist" as far as official records are concerned; Perun and John Lester both look like people who they aren't (with a messy set of ramifications for each); Kara Hawkins, Themis Kallianos, and Tom Harriman's vigilante alter ego might potentially get flagged in criminal / vigilante / homeland security databases; Emma Temple and John Lester are in a complicated situation because of their ties to the British military; only four of the ten potentially in-the-field people are officially part of SHIELD...

It's basically a paparazzi/tabloid goldmine, and it's only a matter of time before "SHIELD LEAVES FATE OF WORLD IN HANDS OF SHOPLIFTER" starts showing up all over the place.

Despite that, Perun is the only potentially problematic person who wears a mask and has an alias. It's probably worth thinking over whether or not being recognised is a risk we want to take on purpose for story reasons, how we'd react to that if we do, and how we'd prevent it if we don't.

[Jonathan Dressler]

It falls to the more reputable among us to bring credibility to the whole affair.




On an OOC note, Dressler will not be wearing a mask/costume but his rage-monster alter ego (post-transformation) will probably be the face that people know him by when he is in the field with the Avengers.

[Tom Harriman]

Since Jonathan and Tom are both scientists, and also are fairly unrecognisable when they're in-the-field (Tom has a costume / alter ego), perhaps the public is led to believe that they are both separate individuals? Doctors Harriman and Dressler are merely scientific consultants (and SHIELD would never be so irresponsible as to put scientists in the field), while Orion and Mr Hyde are two highly trained professionals whose names are classified in order to preserve their anonymity?

Edit:

Also, from chatting to Droo earlier, we've had the idea that while John Lester is the team's "field commander", it's Captain Dan Myers who does all of the public relations stuff, and it's maybe him who the media is led to believe is in charge. Essentially, it's like letting Captain America lead the Avengers, but having Iron Man handle the PR and be the "face" of the team.

[Jonathan Dressler]

Both points there make sense to me.

[Lilith]

Awww lookit the cute little Avenger nerds. Running around spinning in your hamster wheels. It's so darn CUTE.

:eee

[Tom Harriman]

Holy hell your avatar is hot. :eek


Edit:

Okay, so maybe I could've picked a better account to post that. :|

[Alice Kelly]

Yes......? :ohno

[Psion]

Don't pay any attention to him, my dear: I for one think that you look stunning.

[Morrigan]

:colbert *ahem*

[Tom Harriman]

Oh god, there's two of them.

I'll be in my bunk. :|

[Captain Untouchable]

Sarah nagged me to pull my finger out and cobble together one of the Avengers videos I've been meaning to do for ages. It's a bit scrappy (because I was lazy and ripped youtube videos instead of getting stuff direct from DVD/etc), and a couple of bits irked me... but meh, it's just to familiarise myself with the software.

First video I've done in eight or nine years. :uhoh

nTvPr00y5nA

[Lilaena De'Ville]

That's really good. :)

[Ilias Nytrau]

I'd say that's decent for learning new software and the 8-9 year gap since your last go at this stuff. :thumbup

[Kara Hawkins]

:eee This hypes me up for future threads so bad.

[John Lester]

Nice job, Jace. Colour me impressed!

[Skuld]

Just spotted this video..

I approve.

[Droo]

Mmmoragana...

[Tom Harriman]

I got a little carried away and made some Avengers ID card CT banner thingies, because I am secretly twelve. ^_^;

Who do I need to beg/bribe/plead at to get these uploaderised? :uhoh
