[Video] A little trouble-making never hurt anyone

[kore_npc]

[A young blond woman appears in the video. He face is tense and she speaks with a thick French accent.]

Salut. I am curious to know why these "SHIELD" people think they are in charge here. 'Ave they brought us here? And what is it that they don't want us to know about their Doctor Banner and his "condition"?

Jus' a thought before we all go trusting them with our lives. For supposedly being spies, they 'ave a lot of public conversations.

[Sharon smiles into the feed as she responds.] We're trapped here just as you are and trying to get out. And you're right. We shouldn't presume to take charge. Would you like to organize some people to do what needs to be done to survive crisis situations? How much experience do you have?

[As for the rest, Banner can decide whether to reveal his secret or not. As Sharon sees it, it isn't any of this girl's business. As for their public conversations, she'll leave that one alone for now as well. Obviously, there's only so much they can keep private without it being picked up on anyway, thanks to the cameras.]

[kore_npc]

[In French.] Would you like to go fuck yourself?

You cannot have all that much experience at your age, yourself, so perhaps you should stop lying. Either you are hiding things from us or you know no more than we do.

[Sharon's smile remains in place as she answers in kind.] I would, but I'm far too busy.

I've seen alien invasions, civil wars, lived in a prison camp, and been part of covert ops for most of my life. I'm older than I look. Have you ever seen what a madbomb does to people? Seen a race war in Harlem? How many people have you shot and killed to keep other people safe? Because I've seen and done all that and more in order to keep people safe. Don't suppose that I'm stupid just because your own world is limited. If you can't do anything to help, then how about you wait while other people try to work something out?

[kore_npc]

[She gives an indulgent smile.]

Oh, my apologies. I am jus' a silly little girl, right?

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. I won't hold it against you. [Sharon matches the indulgent smile with one of her own, her face sliding into a vague mask of impassivity despite her mounting rage and questions about the girl. Who the hell did she think she was, and was she intentionally trying to stir up shit? How far would she let it go before- Well, what reprimanding and disciplinary power did she really have here?]

I'm guessing you know my name, but I don't know yours.

[kore_npc]

My name is Suzette and I forgive you for assuming that I am stupid just because I am prettier than you are. I am sure your obvious personality flaws are there to overcompensate for your low self-esteem.

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

And I look forward to your comedy show. With your attitude, I'm sure you'll be there all week. Unless you want to give up far too easily at that, too.

[onteamdyson]

Woah. Spy conspiracy? .... ConSPYracy.

[Another ten points for Sherlock on the Bruce hiding something thing. Nice. So much for trust around here. Time to be suspicious as fuck.]

Pretty sure if anyone should be in charge, it should be me. This place needs a mayor, I nominate myself.

[kore_npc]

I would almost prefer you over ze other woman. Almost.

[onteamdyson]

Almost? Ouch. Would have thought I'd win that vote by a landslide. Hey, I'm curious about something, too. Who the hell are you and were you by the fountain that day?

[She could have been. There were quite a few blondes at the time. Probably just missed her.]

[kore_npc]

Yes, I woke up there with everyone else.

[onteamdyson]

And since waking up you've been spying... on the spies. Well don't you just sound like the most sweet and trustworthy human being! Anyone else you wanna start some rumours about while you're at it? Kurt? Veronica? The two separated-at-birth, Russian twins?! Because I'm sure everyone's gonna believe you and break up into catty little circles of hate instead of trying to find a way out together. Nice. Real admirable, there, blondie.

[kore_npc]

For all we know, you're working with them. I 'ave noticed that you live with several of them.

[She smiles.]

And if you would like me to teach you how to do your makeup, I would be happy to.

[onteamdyson]

I try to avoid working as much as possible. And when I do work? It's freelance. I'm an army of one, sistah.

[ ..................................................... Oh, bitch. You did not. Kenzi smiles right back.]

And if you would like me to show you where you can shove it, I'd be more than glad to help you out.

[greenisnteasy]

That's okay. If you ever develop a medical condition, I won't go making a post about it on the network. Doctor/patient confidentiality being what it is, I'm obliged to say 'no hard feelings.'

[His grin is bright. Too bright.]

Thanks for your concern. It's greatly appreciated. Maybe if you're so worried about what effect my personal medical problems might have on you, you could come talk to me about them.

[kore_npc]

Maybe you should explain why other people are concerned about what it can do. Is it contagious?

[greenisnteasy]

Try not to drink my blood, and you should be fine. [Haha, right? Because no one here does that.]

It does what most medical conditions do: make people talk about the patient in sad, hushed whispers when he isn't around to hear so as not to offend him by bringing it up to his face.

[kore_npc]

I am not a vampire, though I can't help wondering if you are hiding something similar. Werewolf, perhaps?

[greenisnteasy]

[Damn. What the hell have these people been saying about him? How does SHIELD keep any secrets?]

Creative, but no dice.

If anyone's the danger right now, it's you, generating suspicion and planting seeds of doubt like a real pro. Just woke up and felt like doing a little pot-stirring today, did we?

[beenunmade]

[ PRIVATE TO FRECKLES Bruce ]

You're a fuckin' werewolf? 'n you didn't fucking tell me. Freckles, 'm ashamed. I thought we were friends.

[greenisnteasy]

Sorry, Clint, sorry. I didn't want to jeopardize our friendship. I mean, what if you're allergic to dogs?

[beenunmade]

I am really disappointed in you, Doctor Freckles. Really...Phil's the one allergic to dogs. I'm allergic to pineapple and bitchy french women.

[greenisnteasy]

Oh, right.

I'm also a werepineapple.

And... French. I know that one's probably a deal breaker.

[kore_npc]

Perhaps I am simply a better spy than your friends.

[greenisnteasy]

Oh, that's a great opening line. You should introduce yourself with that one. A great way to get people to trust you, too.

Especially when you're coming in here trying to disrupt the main stabilizing force, or just break down relationships in general. That's really healthy.

[kore_npc]

Perhaps I don't believe that you are the stabilizing force.

[greenisnteasy]

You're certainly not fostering the creation of one, either.

[beenunmade]

Might have something to do with being more organized than y'all. [ Clint shrugs. Oopsy. ]

Banner's condition? Other than possible skin cancer cos all them damn freckles, I got no idea. You should look into Coulson's "condition", lady.

[kore_npc]

For a spy, you are a bad liar.

[beenunmade]

I'm not paid to lie.

[kore_npc]

No, you are paid to kill people, aren't you? That's much more trustworthy.

[beenunmade]

You'd think people would have much more respect for a dude that can kill someone in ten ways with an eraser. [ He shrugs. ] 've got nuthin' to hide, baby doll. Ya can call me an open book to anything pertainin' to myself as far as I know...we're fuckin' stuck with each other regardless.
