[ A solemn looking man with a serious expression appears on the screen, an impressive fountain in the distance behind him, and the sounds of rushing water carrying over the feed. He's wearing a white turtleneck jumper with a suede coat, brown hair looking flat and dark circles ring his eyes. ]

There goes the search for Cap. [ He sounds defeated, which rarely happens, but he says it with a sarcastic tone, masking the weight he carries with him for so far failing to find Steve in the wreckage.

He fiddles around with the device as he looks directly at it, now, rather than at the surroundings around him. ] So, anyone out there gonna fill me in on what the hell's goin' on 'round here or do I gotta figure it out for myself?

[ With a shrug. ] Can't a guy not feel it anymore?

[ action ]

[latenightfondue]

Sure. [ But he still thinks it's weird, okay? Because other than work there is only that and coffee. ]

So, you gonna point me in the right direction for some place to wait out this nightmare weekend or what?
