[olduvai]

[ what's up, poly? now that the pirate shenanigans are over, you're very much welcome to the usual sight of our dear fountain bringing in another one of those new arrivals, the side of their face just barely in view of the screen.

or are they new, is the question (yes they are).

the man who appears on the screen is probably a familiar face to a lot of people, but there are notable differences: he looks just a bit younger for one, his face covered with facial hair, his hair cut shorter, blood all over his face and uniform (mostly his, yes, but they've healed, so don't worry), and he's seems less - angry. more hardened, really. less 'i don't have time for this bullshit', and more 'i don't really need this right now' - if you catch my drift.

plus, he's carrying an assault rifle in one hand. that's not something that the good old country doctor does, is it? ]

Could do with a better welcoming committee.

[ charming, isn't he?

but really, no one answered his question when he started asking around, but that might have something to do with the fact that he looks less than friendly in his standard uniform. anyway, he's been duly informed that asking through a 'network' will give him his answers, so here he is. ]

How about we start with the question where the hell am I, and then we'll go from there? If there are any devil dogs around, oorah. [ he says it with a deadpan expression, then cuts the feed. ]

[He has only this to say: Fascinating.]

oorah?

[Focusing on the important things.]

permavideo bc spock is a little shit and he needs more karl face in his life

[olduvai]

Marine. Don't worry about it.

[ since you don't know it, and he's not at all inclined to explain.

immediately chucking spock off as ~civilian~ ]

permatext WOW RUDE

[logistical]

It is an outdated expression.

[There's no longer a Marine Corps. Suck it up, bro.]

There is no welcoming committee.

Bones? [ Pausing for a long moment where he takes in fewer wrinkles, shorter hair and an assault rifle, Jim rubs his eyes. ] Oh God, it turned you into a crazy person too, didn't it. First Spock and his Ahoys, now you've gone militant.

[ Sighing, snatching up his keys. ]

Calm your ass down, soldier boy, I'm coming to pick you up.

[ faintly amused: ]

Never been called that. [ reaper is something his friends in the squad call him all the time, his callsign. grimm is for standard for strangers. john is for his sister. 'bones' is new. ]

Rub your eyes again.

[hischair]

I'll call you a few more interesting things when I get there, smartass. [ WOW, BONES, UR SO RUDE. ] Stay where you are, if you start dancing all around the place doing maneuvers or whatever it is you think is so great you need to dress the part, I'll put you in the brig when we get back to the ship.

For like an hour, but you won't get a bathroom break.

[ He really, really wishes he'd seen this movie. If only because it would have been time better spent than running for his life. ]

It's the City. [ And Stiles is the best welcoming committee you can ever find, so. ]

( video )

[olduvai]

[ trust me, it's incredibly stressful with karl urban's face in every frame. ]

Helpful.

[ that's cute, kid. real cute. ]

A little more specificity would add a nice touch.

( video ) the teenage brigade at your service!

[affectioning]

[ Scott will slide in here, try to not piss off this guy any further, this guy who clearly isn't Dr. McCoy. ]

That's what it's called. The name of the city is the City.

( video )

[studmuffin]

[ never going to be loved by karl urban's face. ]

That's as specific as I can get it? Because that's what it's called.

We are nowhere near hell and, as far as One knows, there is only one devil currently in the City.

[olduvai]

Not what I meant.

[ devil dogs is a marine thing that he tried to use as a not-very-subtle code, but he should have figured that there are going to be people popping up with little understanding of the term. ]

No where near hell, huh? Where are we then?

video;

[indecent_butterfly]

[Some just know a more literal version of the term is all.]

Not Ones hell in any case. And the City. Terrible name but it does describe it rather well.

[trenchknives]

I'd say 'welcome', but most people don't like to be welcomed. You military?

[He's pretty damn sure, but hey, different time periods, different worlds, who knows?]

Video

[olduvai]

Yes, sir. United States Marine Corps. [ if that means anything. ]

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

No kiddin'? Somethin' I've heard of, for once. Army, myself. Well, y'know, back at home.

[Praise Jesus, there's more eye candy in the City for her to stare at. No, Angela, control your hormones, this man is covered in blood and cranky and probably even more uptight than Bones is. There's also the gun. You'll never get this one to go on vacation.]

Sorry, we're a little out on welcoming people past "You're here, you're screwed, too bad." It's exhausting.

[olduvai]

Old news at this point.

[ he's really talking about his life, but he could be talking about the fact that angela's late to the party. ]

Would've been useful for your newcomers.

[She takes it as it's meant towards her, so R-U-D-E Wannabe Bones.]

Yes, but it's still a waste of time if they came in on a curse day where zombies sheep were running around.

[valentineluke]

Nice piece. The make isn't quite familiar, though. What is it?

[olduvai]

Modified G36C. Heckler & Koch.

[valentineluke]

I do know it! Impressive modification.

[makingastatement]

Devil dogs? Not yet.

Don't give the powers-that-be too many ideas.

[olduvai]

[ a crooked smile. this response comes after he's properly showered and had gotten a clean set of clothes thanks to jim kirk. ]

Didn't mean it literally. That's a nickname for a Marine.

video;

[makingastatement]

[ Of course he knew that not at all. ]

Nicknames don't count for much around here. You've got people from here, some from over there in outer space or something-- and a bunch of nuts that'll take anything literally.

[ His tone changes from something closer to a lecture to curiosity. ]

You American?
