010 || Sharon Carter || [video]

[agentx13]

First, I wanted to share a theory with you guys. [She holds up a bowl in her free hand and sets it on the table, turning her wristcomm so everyone can see. There's a glimpse of the kitchen of the house, some silverware bent into odd shapes on the counter and one cabinet door taken off completely. The mess is actually bigger than that, but Sharon moves the comm in such a way that the worst is hidden.] I think this is the barrier we're dealing with. Our environment is being controlled, obviously, and most of the deliveries are from above, far enough that we have no way of reaching it without technology, which we don't presently have. [Though she supposes they could use the Hulk. But she won't put that added pressure on Bruce yet. Yet.]

I suspect there are service entrances located at various points around the border, but we haven't yet been able to reach them. I'll keep looking into it, though.

Second, I'm disbanding what's left of SHIELD. I've already talked to its members and feel that it's the best thing for our current situation.

However, if you need anything, I'm still willing to offer my services. Just ask.

[Times like these, "Thank you" doesn't seem like the right thing to say. So instead instead she just cuts the feed and goes to put the bowl away. That's that.]

Thank you for the clothing.

Service entrances may only be accessible by those without the method if tracking on our wrists or maybe they are only opened and visible from beyond the limits of the bubble.

I must admit I have yet to come across the varying theories regarding this place. [ Charles looks concerned as he speaks, his brow furrowed slightly. ]

Can you tell me more about how escape attempts have failed?

[agentx13]

You're very welcome.

[Sharon goes still at River's next words, though, watching her intently.]

What did you just say?

[enchangement]

Not the first time to play captive. [ River closes her eyes and hums. ]

We all have these. Communication in a place where everything is observed and measured, she asked Tony if they were the method of injection as well as the opposite charges against the nerves when we try to take things apart and rebuild them. She asked and he said he would ask Bruce, but she hasn't followed up with it.

So that is one method. Track the cattle with tags, and keep them out of the doors.

Some doors are only visible from a certain slant of light. That is another method.

What's SHIELD?


[...yes, Charlie. Because that's the most important part. Your priorities, kiddo. Rethink them.]

Professor Xavier. It's good to see you again. [There's a faint smile on her lips, because thank God. One of the good guys, even if he is younger and less experienced as the version of him she's used to. She just hopes this version is as good as that one.] And particularly with hair.

So far we've had at least three attempts to escape. Once, with only Logan. If he hadn't been able to regenerate, he might have died. You have met Logan, haven't you, Professor?

[ This girl. For all that she seems insane, Sharon can tell as well as the next person that insanity isn't the right word at all. More like perceptive. Perhaps even psychic. And if the girl can read the minds of the people holding them... ]

Do you think that's a possibility? Doors that are only visible if you look a certain way?

[manofiron]

Oh, wait. You were serious about that prostitute thing?

[ She said about offering her services. He couldn't help himself. The conversation has the potential to be too honest for his liking, he has to wreck it from the get-go. ]

[Sharon doesn't seem fazed, though. She's accustomed to questions about SHIELD, and she's been here long enough not to be surprised that someone hasn't listened to the majority of her message.]

Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate.

Re: video:

[charring]

That's a mouthful. Why was it disbanded? It almost sounds like something that'd be useful here, all things considered.

[enchangement]

A possibility. Cannot state the probability as there haven't been any observations to catch them at it yet. Definitely not a certainty.

[nevermindtherunning]

W-What have you been doing to our utensils!?

[That's putting it lightly given 60% of the house's mess was his fault. But that fork back there? That one was his favorite.]

[thelittlestbub]

Soooo, define for me, if you will, what exactly "disbanding SHIELD" means.

[plaidsamurai]

Where's the barrier? Why's it bendin' shit?

[agentx13]

[She presses her lips together for a moment as she thinks that it's high time she found out more about River.]

River. What did you do back home?

Re: video:

[agentx13]

It was doing more harm than good. But just because it won't be around anymore doesn't mean its work is done, too.

I, for one, will still try to be useful. You have my word.

[agentx13]

What?

[ What was he talking ab- Aw, crap. Seriously? She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. Nonetheless, after all she's been dealing with, it's nice to be innocently teased for a change. ]

Very serious. Oh-so-serious. The most serious. That's me. Serious.

Super serious.

So. Serious.

[ She grins faintly. Does she want to string him along some more? Aw, hell. Why not? ]

If Natasha were still here, you could ask her. We used to be prostitutes together a lot.

Re: video:

[charring]

Okay. [Charlie's opinion, stemming from years of being lied to and deceived, is that actions speak louder. But she'll play nice and smile a bit.]

Thanks for that. Your word, I mean.

[agentx13]

[She looks faintly guilty, but there's something insincere about it. After all, he's just as bad as she is, if not worse.]

They can be fixed. Don't worry.

[agentx13]

We don't know how far out the barrier is since no one has been able to reach it yet. I'm assuming it's curved because that would be the most logical design for it.

[plaidsamurai]

Still lost. Why do you have bent forks an' stuff?

[captain_jtkirk]

What exactly is SHIELD?

video;

[enchangement]

She's a pilot now.

What you mean, what you want to know, is not what she did for a living.

What you want to know is how applications become practical.

Best a story told in person.

[manofiron]

[ He can't resist grinning as she takes it and runs with it. This is so much better than doom and gloom. At least until she mentions her little extracurricular activity with Natasha. Then he just groans, a tiny little noise that suggests that she might be killing him here. ]

And now that mental image is going to be with me the rest of the day. Maybe even the whole week. I'm going to get nothing done. My productivity is going to be at an all-time low and it's all going to be your fault.

Just so you know.

[ Wait what's this about his hair? His face practically spasms with sudden outright terror. Is this place going to make his hair fall out? ]

Ah, no. I have yet to make any one's acquaintance here by that name. I've heard of him though from the others.
