002. Voice

[untilitkillsyou]

Alright so, kidnapped. Here in a place called The City. I got all of that and oddly I think it's all settling alright in my mind now.

What I want to know is what do we do here? I figure one would get a little stir crazy sitting around. Kinda wish there were others from back home here. Guess I'm just needing a distraction and not taking this as well as I thought. I don't know.

Clint? Is that you?

[He recognizes the voice.]

Are you cursed?

[untilitkillsyou]

Oh no. Sorry my name is Jason.

[punchedhitler]

Oh. Excuse me, you sound exactly like someone I know.

[untilitkillsyou]

You must know the guy I look like here then.

[punchedhitler]

Clint Barton.

[untilitkillsyou]

Yeah that would be him. It was a bit weird meeting him, but they say we all got a doppelganger out there.

[punchedhitler]

Here it's more common than not.

You're supposed to live. Survive, actually, is a better word for it. Get a job, find a place to live, make some friends, try not to lose your sanity from the curses.

[untilitkillsyou]

Sounds easy enough. There a police force here?

Maybe I'll find some little restaurant thing.

[thenormalsquint]

Yep. They could use a few new bodies in there, as I know Justin can. He needs a break before he works himself to death. Are you a cop?

Though, scratch that question if you're looking for a restaurant gig.

NYPD Homicide.

Who also happened to live in the back of a restaurant I bought, and on my down time did short order cook gig. When it was open. Nostalgia from my ball playing days, used to go there all the time.

What a mix. You'll probably find that here easy only because very rarely does anybody stay dead here long enough to need Homicide to be involved. Call coming back the next day alive yet not quite alive a not so welcome perk of this place.

Okay that's a bit interesting. Looks like this is a vacation from Homicide.

Yeah never planned on becoming a cop. I was a ball player, played in the minors for the Yankees and got called to the majors.

Get a job, meet some people, things like that. Makes it all a bit more bearable to at least have a life here.

[untilitkillsyou]

I'll have to get right on that. Thanks for the tips.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

What did you expect?

[untilitkillsyou]

Not quite sure didn't know if there were specific things one had to do around here. I mean being abducted doesn't scream freedom to do what you want.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Would you say this is the usual kind of abduction?

[skintoskin]

Hello again.

You can do whatever you want. Find a place to stay, get a job to pay for it, make friends and whatever. Eat, drink, get laid...

[untilitkillsyou]

The get laid thing may end up waiting. Still getting used to being here and my woman isn't. Might take a bit to get out of that mindset.

And hello again. How you been?

[skintoskin]

Eh. About the same as I was the last time we talked.

So, your 'woman'?

[pratful]

[ another poor unfortunate soul. Oh, how Arthur weeps for the corruption of the wicked! Now if only he could figure out where this wickedness was coming form so he could stop it at once. ]

There's not much, admittedly. You work from what I've seen. [ all work and nothing but work. Arthur's life has turned decidedly dull in the last few months. ]

[untilitkillsyou]

Well from what I hear Homicide detective won't be much use around here.

[pratful]

Homicide? I see no reason why it wouldn't. [ if that's what he think it is of course. It's not a term he's heard used before but considering the origins... ]

[latenightfondue]

Anything y'like, pal, if they got it.

Me, personally, I like to work, same as back home. What d'you do 'fore y'got here?

[ Video ]

[untilitkillsyou]

Bit of a mixed bag really. Homicide detective, that owned a restaurant and did short order cook duties when I needed to think and didn't have a case.

[ Video ]

[latenightfondue]

Detective, huh? You're in luck, 'cause it ain't long ago I heard there's a need for people to join up on the force, and there's a café wanting staff.
