[personal profile] antivillain
[Several things have become instantly clear about Clint—to himself, to his daemon, and quite possibly, in a moment, to whoever receives the transmission. First: he prefers thinking as a team activity. Second: he thrives (and secretly likes) when it challenges him. Third: he likes getting outside intended boundaries. Bonus fourth for those with the inside knowledge to recognize the daemon's smoky female voice: he misses his old partner.

The transmission begins as Voice, and has two of them. First, Clint:]


Will you just transmit what I tell you to?

[Second: the daemon.]

{ The point of this is to communicate with others. No one's going to know what you're saying. }

Let me worry about that, will you? It's a different point.

{ Okay, okay. Which do you want to start with. }

Text.

{ Fine. }

[Transmission switches abruptly to Text. Which scrolls itself out with almost reluctant and/or sarcastic slowness.]

9.24-24.9.22 / 9 / 9.9-9-24.24-22

[Everything not banter is a S.H.I.E.L.D. recognition tactic. This one: standard alphanumeric conversion (9-14 / 1 / 2-1-20-5) expressed in Roman numerals (IX-XIV / I / II-I-XX-V transcribed I.X-X.I.V / I / I.I-I-X.X-V) themselves alphanumerically converted (9.24-24.9.22 / 9 / 9.9-9-24.24-22), whose translation was a falconry reference re: restraint. Simultaneously a status update, an identification, and a request for extraction.

Probably in response to non-transmitted exchange, feed switches back to Voice]


Ври, да помни.

[Said by him. A commandment of Fury's in Nat's language. Lie, but remember.]

Video now, please.

{ Yes, sir. }

Don't call me that.

{ Yes, armcandy. }

Ugh.

[Video activates in time to catch the end of Clint rolling his eyes. He adjusts to look down the barrel, out at whoever may be receiving, and offer the slightest of not-really-happy smiles.]

'We defy augury.'

[A temporospatial reference in hopes of synchronization/orientation, for whoever might recognize it; and yeah, a bit of cheek, even if you don't. That one's for Coulson.

… who, multidimensions notwithstanding, 's not going to be answering … … …

Shake it off, man.

Though the feed remains video, the female voice remains off-camera—since she is the camera:]


{ So the idea is that anyone who can possibly understand any of that will present themselves back as countersign—? }

Could you not share our secrets?

{ You haven't confided any yet. Except some of what you said when you were still half conscious, and then in denial, and then angry, which— }

O-kay. Sign off, computer.

{ Not a computer. }

Sign off, ma'am.

{ Not a ma'am. }

Sign off, dammit.

[Novad signs off.]

[That is when Kristen realizes Feverd has pulled rank and comes on looking pretty sheepish.]

This is nothing new right?

Does anyone else feel like they are adrift in spite of things?

[Kristen hems for a minute but does offer more.]

I mean I'm not a fighter, I'm just a file clerk.

[The little falcon has taken matters into her own hands upon seeing her young charge's condition so the voice is from the bird over the stumbling retro dressed young woman in a torn dress and broken glasses.]

Pardon the interruption but my name is Feverd and I just came upon my change Kristen Kringle upon her arrival in quite the state. We're in the process of arriving into the city proper but she will need medical care (her wounds do not appear serious but won't take chances since she mentioned the squardroom being shot up and someone pushing her out of the path of bullets) and replacement glasses for someone who is near sighted, their are badly broken.

ETA is about 25 or so minutes.

Thank you kindly.
