12th Trick Shot ~ [Dictated]

[compromisedarrow]

So, lemme ask a question. How many of you people with fancy powers found yourself suddenly unable to do something when out in the Dead Zone?

[Yeah. He heard.]

My point is I bet most of you don't know squat about fighting without your technology, or your powers. That's where I come in.

My offer for archery lessons is still open. Can't get any more low-tech than that. Lemme know if you're interested.

I'll be at the shooting range every day from 7am. I'll be the guy with the bow.

[Code Blair/Evac Filter]

My name's Clint Barton. I've been hearing stuff going on about evac plans, and I want in. I can hold my own.

[And, after his conversation with Carolina, another filter goes up.]

[Natasha Romanoff]

We need to talk. Meet me somewhere?

Comments

[whistles_the_blues]

I'd be interested in learning, not that it would help if I ended up in the Dead Zone anyways.

[compromisedarrow]

Yeah, well, that's the point in learning. Unless you're like a robot or something and can't actually go out there.

[whistles_the_blues]

...That would be the case exactly. I can't go out there.

Barton

[originalcopy]

Talk to York when he gets back.

The Freelancers have plans for evacuations if shit happens.

Church

[compromisedarrow]

I thought that was the point of the filter, y'know? Leave a message at the beep kinda deal.

Barton

[originalcopy]

Yeah well, things are a bit... fucked up right now.

Which is exactly what we didn't need with all the shit going on.

York might have his hands full at the moment. I don't know how close he's going to be monitoring the journals.

Oh and filter to my full name: Leonard Church.
I'm having filter issues.

Clint Barton

[youfallback]

[Oh hey she remembers talking to you a few times back in the day.]

That's not needed, I'll be re-designing the plans myself.

Agent Carolina

[compromisedarrow]

So you're saying you don't need the man-power? I'm not really a blueprint kinda guy, but if you need anything... Let's say I've got experience in the saving people business.

[A brief pause.]

Welcome back.

[heloise]

How difficult is it?

[compromisedarrow]

Well, not everyone's gonna be good at it. Relies mostly on upper body strength. But I'd say I'm a pretty good teacher. You can always give it a try.

Clint Barton

[well_assembled]

Tower? Lobby, fifteen.

Natasha Romanoff

[compromisedarrow]

Roger. I'll be there.

[Short and terse, that's Clint Barton's tone at the moment. Something's up]

[schrodingersghost]

I don't know if I'll be any good at archery. I kind of sucked at it when we did it for PhysEd. But after this last expedition? I have to do something.

[compromisedarrow]

How many lessons did you do?

Filter

[encryptedlock]

[True enough to Church's words earlier, York sounds tired when he finally gets to this (riding with the giraffes yay).]

It's best to start off with your own floor first, make sure you have a plan to evac and get to know any kids or anyone else who might have difficulty. I think Phoebe Halliwel is the current one in charge of Code Blair.

Filter

[youfallback]

I'm taking care of it.

Filter

[compromisedarrow]

[Finally. Someone who's willing to help.]

I'm going to be talking with one of my... friends. [Yes. Friends. He considers Natasha a friend now.] See if we can do something a bit more.

I'll have a word with Phoebe, see if we can do something without stepping on Carolina's toes.

Dat filter

[kungfuwitch]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Clint. My name's Phoebe Halliwell. I'm afraid things are a little disorganized right now but I've been working on revamping it.

Phoebe Halliwell

[compromisedarrow]

Well, looks like only one person's gonna bite my head off. That's a plus.

I'm gonna talk with one of my friends. See if we can sort something out that won't get in Carolina's way. She's kinda... disowned me.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Archery lessons? Hmm... They sound interesting and I got nothing better to do. Sign me up!

[compromisedarrow]

Alright. C'mon down to the shooting range whenever, and we'll get you started.

Barton

[wizard_redfive]

Using the expedition's recent trauma to gain more students? Tsk, tsk, Barton. I thought I knew you better.

[She's joking, of course, and it shows in her voice. The humor is mixed with a certain level of fatigue though.]

Dairine

[compromisedarrow]

If you guys want to be unprotected the next alien attack comes around...

[That's quipped back just as humourously...

Except not really. It's a point, too.]

[Clint]

[rose_of_battle]

My Grandpa trained me in his style--before we really even knew what my powers were, but I'll be honest:

I wouldn't mind learning another long-distance way of fighting.

Sheena

[compromisedarrow]

Well, Archery is kinda the de facto in distance fighting.
