That was a close one Banner [Bruce says to himself as he turns the video on and directs the comm at the fountain that is inches away from him. The video isn’t completely steady as Bruce shifts with a nervous energy.

He turns the video around to show his face. It’s pale, and he is making an effort to breathe slowly. He doesn't think the other guy would do any good at getting answers from people.]

Is it customary to almost be dumped into a fountain or was this arranged just for me?

I almost fell in. Missed by an inch.

Re: video:

[alwaysangered]

An inch makes all the difference when it comes to remaining dry.

My name is Bruce.

[bettercallit]

It happens a lot.

[ Clint appears out of no where, no one really questions it when he does this, and even if it doesn't show that much he's pleased to see him. ]

Clint [Bruce turns to meet him with a relieved look. His shoulders relax a fraction.]

Does it act like a magnet when people arrive?

[latenightfondue]

Seen a good few people land themselves in the thing, you're one'a the lucky ones, pal.

Re: [ Video ]

[alwaysangered]

What were the odds I would have landed in it?

[warmachine]

Pretty sure that's customary.

[alwaysangered]

I think I would prefer a sandy beach.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, no, you're not that special, I'm afraid.

[alwaysangered]

[There is a soft laugh.]

That would be the first time I've heard that in awhile.

You are not the first.

Re: video;

[alwaysangered]

It must be boring now if it is a regular occurrence.

[hexuality]

I walked in. Not nearly as dramatic, I think.

Re: voice;

[alwaysangered]

If you prefer dramatic entrances, my apologies that it is too late to swap.

Second time I came here, I cracked my head on it.

You all right?

Re: video;

[alwaysangered]

Did you suffer any concussion or memory lost?

[Apologies but he is a Doctor and his instinct is to double check.]

I've no broken brains or strained an muscles.

[binarysky]

Around here? Pretty customary, yeah.

[alwaysangered]

That is a relief. I don't want to make a complete fool of myself.

[punchedhitler]

Bruce? Is that you?

[alwaysangered]

Steve [Bruce face warms up a little at the sight of the Captain.]

Is this a mission I didn't know about?

Consider yourself [ INTERRUPTED BY SOME HISSING and his own cursing...pause...clears his throat... ] --consider yourself lucky. There's no harpies today.

Re: [ audio ]

[alwaysangered]

Harpies, as in the legends?

Are you injured?

[likeabreath]

The fountain is a soft landing.

[alwaysangered]

I agree that it would be better than solid concrete.

[video]

[killerthighs]

[Oh sweet Jesus another person she knows well.]

I would have preferred the fountain than a jungle gym.

[Natasha. Bruce is careful to keep his expression gentle for her. He doesn't want to spook her.]

I hope you didn't land on any kids.

[skintoskin]

I got dropped in the fountain when I arrived. Soaked to the bone and fuckin' pissed.

[alwaysangered]

Anyone in their sane mind would be the same. I'll keep an eagle out any more fountains.

[signatures]

Maybe they thought you were due for a bath.

[alwaysangered]

Whoever they are, didn't leave me any soap.

[mightbeconcussed]

Sort of par for the course here. Most of the time people actually get dumped in. No missing.

[alwaysangered]

Does it only happen when people arrive or when people walk too close to the fountain?

[godofabs]

I am suspecting that it has become somewhat of a jest between the deities to throw many in that fountain.

[alwaysangered]

Do gods usually joke about this kind of thing Thor?

[intheblanks]

Is it customary for you to be almost dumped into fountains?

[alwaysangered]

((ooc: sorry for the lateness, rl decided to kick me last well))

No it has only happened once before at college.
