(accidental) video ✖ clint barton ✖ oo6

[beenunmade]

[ The only thing anyone could actually really see is a stove with what little rations they had left in the form of two eggs that Clint managed to get a hold of and possibly a tea kettle. He was really trying to fry the eggs but decided halfway through and after trying to pick out the shells that scrambled was the best way to fight this mess. He also has a pot of coffee almost half finished at this point, he misses the press a button and BOOM coffee. ]

Where the hell is a McDonald's when you need one? [ He lifted his arm, showing off his Iron Man tank he typically wears under his regs before looking down at the communicator. ] Well, fuck.

[ A pause before he shrugs to himself. ] Anyone know how to not burn toast? Last I checked we had 'bout two loaves left to split between the entire town. [ He scowls. ]

Do we even know what we have supplies wise? Has anyone even done an inventory? If not, perhaps it's time someone does. Last thing we need is all of us runnin' out of food in this joint.

[ private video to lydia ]

Bruce...mentioned somethin' 'bout you before he disappeared. I volunteered my services as Nurse Barton which means 'll probably be working with you at some point in our stay here. I jus' don't think we got started on the right foot. Somethin' about me callin' you a bitch, but...thing of the past.

Bruce likes you. [ And he doesn't allow a lot of people close to him in Clint's brief knowledge of the doctor. ] So...'m sorry 'n you ain't half bad either.

[ He sees that shirt, but he's not mentioning it. Yet. Instead he grins. ]

You should ask Steve for lessons. He's the cook at my house.

[ Because Tony can't cook. At all. ]

[beenunmade]

[ Clint looks deeply engrossed in what he's doing. He can't cook that well either.

Obviously. ]

'm sure he has better things to do with his free time, Stark.

[manofiron]

Around here? Not likely. Seriously, you should ask him. Eh, don't worry about it. I'll ask him for you.

[beenunmade]

I learn through trial-and-error. [ Poor Phil. ]

Kinda hopin' this doesn't poison Coulson though.

[pursuitofcappiness]

You're going to waste all the bread if you burn it. It's gonna go stale soon anyway, so we're going to have to make breadcrumbs or put it in tomato sauce.

[beenunmade]

Why would you put it in tomato sauce? [ He looks down at his scrambled eggs. ] Toast kinda goes better with scrambled eggs, I think.

[pursuitofcappiness]

It thickens the sauce and I like the taste. And it doesn't matter if it's stale as long as it isn't moldy.

Do we really only have two loaves left?

[beenunmade]

I typically eat take-out so, 'll have to take your word for it.

Maybe...three and a half.

[ action; howdy neighbour ]

[gleans]

[ There's a Galen standing somewhat sheepishly in the kitchen doorframe and we'll say he missed the private video. He comes in peace! Also in glasses and unruly scatterbrain hair. Someone smells coffee. ]

Maybe turn the dial down? Does it even have a dial? -- Uh, hi.

[ action; CLINT LIKES NEW ROOMIES ]

[beenunmade]

[ Coffee tends to wake up most people, Clint using it as bait for his roommates. He still wasn't sure about the new guy Kenzi had taken in. ]

I think the dial is on medium? [ He says it more to himself than to Galen at first before looking over to him with a smile. ] G'mornin' sunshine.

[gleans]

Ah, yeah, the medium is a liar. [ He smiles back, and sort of edges closer to Mr. Intimidating Archer Arms to offer a hand to shake. ] Hey. I'm Galen, nice to meet you.

[beenunmade]

Huh...maybe 've been cookin' it a bit too long. [ Still, he turns it down a couple notches before turning to him to shake his hand. ] Clint. Guess you're livin' here now?

[plaidsamurai]

There's always hunting, too. I've seen a few edible things out in the woods. [He shrugs and doesn't bother mentioning that whoever is keeping them here probably has control over whether those things are out there as well, but for now it might be an option.]

[beenunmade]

Yanno, 'd do that. But the last time I went into the woods I got attacked by a robot. It was pretty awesome.

[ Private ]

[agentx13]

I've discussed our supply situation with the person currently holding it under lock and key, and explained in no uncertain terms that should he deny anyone their fair share of food, I would shoot him.

So you can try that, if you like.

[ Private ]

[beenunmade]

Somehow, I don't think Stane would hold off on food if it meant death. Jus' a thought. But some food have a shelf life. Bread, milk, eggs.

We'll all be eatin' out of cans pretty soon. [ Clint had no issue with that. But it didn't give enough of what they needed. ]

[ Private ]

[agentx13]

We'll make do.

Honestly, Barton. It's like you've never been abandoned behind enemy lines before.

[ Private ]

[beenunmade]

I got used to the cushy life. Toast. Bread 'n eggs. None powdered milk.

[ellectric]

I can help toast things.

[Hello, man-person. How are you?]

[beenunmade]

That so? 'n you're holdin' out on me too? Shame.

[ellectric]

How am I holding out on you?

[She grins and leans in, but she can only get so much of a look at him over the comm.]

Where are you? I might have something that can help.

[beenunmade]

Cos your toasting skills just came up now, ma'am.

[ He smirks a little before leaning back a little. So she could get a better look. ]

House 20.

[preytosociety]

[That was probably the worst apology she has ever heard. But he was making an effort... and he just had to go and drop Bruce's name like that.]

Apology accepted, Agent Barton. [Doesn't mean she's not going to be haughty about it.] ... What did he say?

[private]

[beenunmade]

Jus' call me Clint, Nurse Lydia. [ It was a fucking horrible apology which should just clue her in on the fact he doesn't apologize a lot. ]

He didn't say anythin'. I jus' know the type of person he is.

[private]

[preytosociety]

I don't think I'm actually qualified to be a nurse, and even if I was... Lydia is fine.

[She nods. The idea of Bruce not being here is still surreal. Just give her a minute]
