002 | Phil Coulson | [Video]

[He's pointing his wrist at the giant box in the center of town.]

Anyone want to tell me what the heck I'm looking at. I think I heard "old Norse" and that just begs the question of whether we have anyone who can read old Norse. I'm afraid I don't speak any dead languages, myself, and this isn't anything I've seen before.

Ah, but will you? I'm a busy man, pal.

[He's clearly lying in bed with a lollipop sticking out of the corner of his mouth, and what appears to be a whole airline of paper planes scattered around him.]

My time's not cheap.

[theshield_agent]

[Luckily Phil is practically immune to this kind of bullshit due to the questionable company he keeps.]

Anything you want that I can get. Candy, alcohol... you name it.

[hung_garian]

Wow. Sounds like you're kinda desperate for a translator, huh?

[theshield_agent]

You're holding out for sexual favors, aren't you?

[hung_garian]

Well, honey, if you're offering...

[The sarcasm, it burns.]

I haven't taken too close a look at it, but since it hasn't turned out to be a bomb yet, maybe I can fit some light reading in between elevenses and brunch.

[theshield_agent]

[He snorts.] Well, I didn't mean from me. No one would hold out for that.

If you can take a look, I can round up something for you--within reason.

[hung_garian]

Don't sweat it. I was kidding - and believe it or not, I don't actually need your help getting laid.

[He rolls his eyes.]

I'll check it out.

[theshield_agent]

I meant the legitimate offers of food, not--never mind.

And I appreciate it. Thank you.

[hung_garian]

Yeah, yeah. I'll get back to you if it says anything other than 'made in China'.

[theshield_agent]

Tell me if it says that, too. I don't think I can resist the lure of that kind of anachronism.

[hung_garian]

Well, it's common knowledge that there's nothing more tempting than a minor historical quirk. Laters, boss.

[ooc: wanna handwave the actual report, since iirc it's just graffiti?]

[theshield_agent]

[ooc: Totally fine with that.]
