[Video - 01]

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?

Sometimes. Sometimes curses'll send people out and about, too.

Physicist, huh? I know a few people who might be excited about having another one in the City.

[Dryly] This gets better and better.

Oh? [He raises an eyebrow] What names should I look out for?

[mintjulep]

You can usually tell if there's a curse by checking the network. If you're not already cursed, anyway.

Pavel Chekov and Marie Delacroix. I think they're working over at Stark's City Solutions.

So curse days will be a stay in and lock your doors day.

Stark, as in in Tony Stark?

[Surely there couldn't be other Starks out with pretentious business names.]

[mintjulep]

Usually. Depends on the curse.

That'd be the one, yeah. You know him?

[alwaysangered]

Are there any curses that you have enjoyed?

Yeah, he's a [pause.] Friend.

Don't know if I'd say I enjoyed it, but the one with the Christmas music wasn't bad. There was just a lot of it.
