Bruce Banner | 005 | Video

Hi there. Bruce here with your friendly news report.

[For someone who previously delivered all his news so calmly and with a jovial sarcasm, now that edge is obviously more tense, more brittle.]

So, first and most noticeably, don't go outside unless you want one of several Cujos and their feline companions to eat you.

[He's so past sugarcoating that. What is there to sugarcoat when Kobra went on the network bleeding and begging for help? Bruce would've gone, but the situation was taken care of, and so he just stayed quiet and stayed inside. Because if he goes out there and something jumps him? Yeah. They'd have bigger things to worry about than giant wolves. But on the upside, probably no more giant wolves...]

Even more unsettling than man-eating beasts, um, some people in lab coats definitely stole someone. So, uh, take the time you have indoors to set up some impressive booby traps. Nails on the floor, buckets of water over the doors, that kind of thing.

P.S., uh... anyone want to get on... looking into that? That's not my area of expertise, but surely... someone? [Anyone?]

Alright, and thirdly, that giant box. We've made enough progress to know that the tree on one side is... [He squints at his notes.] Yggdrasil from Old Norse mythology. I probably butchered that pronunciation, but the point is, big tree, and those eight globes must mean something. One's missing. All the others are made of a distinct material, like one's gold, one's some kind of volcanic stone...

Any takers? I can't get to the library without having my face chewed off, so let's powwow this.

[Not to mention someone's hogging the book, but Dean's brother was just creepily abducted by men in white coats, so Bruce is feeling a tad more lenient toward him right now. Except for where he was totally mean to Lydia.]

Hello, Dr. Banner.

[He doesn't know if/how he can weigh in on the puzzle of the box, but the other thing Bruce mentions catches his attention.]

I'm not sure what to make of kidnapping in the night, although it's very troubling. I'm not convinced traps will be effective against them, not when they're capable of harmlessly deactivating me.

[ Clint is...on the roof like a badass. ]

Well, Freckles...I can offer security detail if you're afraid of getting your face getting ripped off. [ Even though he knows he shouldn't be afraid...but then the Hulk would make a bigger mess. ]

If something is missing from the box, I imagine replacing it might be important.

Don't you think, darling?

[Audio, Private]

Kidnapping is my area of expertise. One of them. I intend to investigate, though it would be far easier if I could access the crime scene.

Nine is the key. What are there nine of in mythology?

That's the real question.

[She scowls.]

There's something familiar about it.

I suppose it depends on how closely they observe us. It might not be possible to install a trap without their knowledge. I agree that it might be worth a try.

By those fuckers in the lab coats? Cos...if that's the case, then I'd just write it off, Bruce.

The planets, as we know them, are Greco-Roman in design.

The Norse had a different world view and they...

[She pauses, sucking in air between her teeth.]

World. Not planet. World.
thezerothlaw: (concerned)

[personal profile] thezerothlaw 2012-11-12 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure I'm qualified to think of acceptable traps.

[What if someone got hurt, after all?]
could_be_dangerous: (um)

[personal profile] could_be_dangerous 2012-11-12 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Never bother with the lab coats. They don't suit my complexion.

Incidentally, if you mean our mutual, crossbow-wielding acquaintance I think I'll be safer without.

Bruce, don't do it! This is a Clintervention! He just wants to be your security guy so he can spend more time making out with his box! He freakin' loves that thing. It's... weird.

[Mina seems to be getting equally excited. She really is more of an intellectual than she'd care to admit.]

In Norse cosmology, there were nine worlds. Midgard, Asgard, Niflheim, and so on!

Kenzi, shut up. [ He looks visibly angry. ]

Doc, sure thing. Just point me in the direction you want me.
thezerothlaw: (neutral)

[personal profile] thezerothlaw 2012-11-12 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I agree with you, Dr. Banner. This is something that troubles me greatly.

[The disappearance of anyone was upsetting; he especially dislikes the idea of something similar happening to either Lydia or Kobra.[
