1st Arrow ~ [Action/Accidental Dictation

[compromisedarrow]

[A groan filters through the journals as a man sits up in the lobby floor, holding his head.

It was the silence that got him first. No sounds of battle. Odd.

Which is why he's opening his eyes and looking around, before instantly drawing his last arrow and notching it.]

What the hell-?!

[A pause.]

Captain? Stark? Thor? Someone report?

[A pause.]

Damn. This is Agent Barton, calling any SHIELD Operatives in the vicinity of... Fancy Lobby. Someone please respond?

[Despite sounding urgent, the man's voice is oddly calm. Anyone wandering into the lobby will get an arrow aimed right at them. What do?]

((OOC: As open as an open thing. Possible Avengers Spoilers in the comments. Enjoy!))

Comments

[valuedstrength]

[Guess who is wandering in right when he mentions Stark and Thor? This guy. He is actually on his way to work as usual. Lucky for him he always walks into the best stuff.]

You know Howard Stark? [His surprise by that is quickly dismissed by the fact he's got a weapon out in a busy lobby. Steve frowns and makes no other moves for now. He's confident he can get out of the way if need be and doesn't want to spook this guy.]

You should put that down before someone mistakes you for an enemy.

[compromisedarrow]

[Clint pauses for a second, eyeing Steve. He wasn't wearing that stuff ten minutes ago...

He lowers the bow.]

Cap... [A pause] Howard Stark? No. Tony. Y'know? He's got the fancy metal suit, bad sense of humour.

[ Dictated ]

[loves_osaka]

I don't know who any of those guys are but I can tell that ya just arrived somewhere you don't know where. And if the lobby is new to ya then that means that you yerself must be new.

dictated

[compromisedarrow]

[Okay, that voice didn't come from his transceiver.]

Who's there? I'd recommend coming out before I have to find you.

[Again, his tone is calm. He hasn't noticed the journal before his feet yet...]

[Dictated]

[is0latedthinker]

[He's never heard of any of these people or whatever this shield organization he's talking about is, but someone is better than nobody in his book.]

Hello? Are you alright?

[Dictated]

[compromisedarrow]

I will be when disembodied voices stop talking to me.

[Action]

[tres_iqus]

[You have a bow. He has giant guns. Now what?]

Warning; lower your weapon.

[Action]

[compromisedarrow]

[Okay, who the hell was this guy. Clint's not lowering his bow, though.]

Nuh-uh. You lower your weapon, and I'll see about not hurting you.

[accidentalrebellion]

[Guess who else is in the vicinity of Fancy Lobby today? It's this girl, fresh from one of her many jaunts out in the woods. (And thus fully equipped with her own bow and quiver of arrows.) Really, as far as Paradisa goes, it had been a relatively normal day.

... Until, out of the corner of her eye, she spots something being aimed at her. She stops dead in her tracks.]

[compromisedarrow]

I wouldn't move...

[Clint doesn't like aiming at girls, but...]

Just tell me where I am, and how I got here, and everything'll be fine.

Action!

[chubbycreampuff]

[ Kirby had been getting used to his human body. He was just wandering around aimlessly when he noticed the stranger. He kind of stood still as the arrow pointed at him, raising his hands a little in a panic. ]

P-Poyo?!

Action!

[compromisedarrow]

[A slight pause, but the bow's still aimed right at the kid.]

Just relax. I won't hurt you if you tell me where I am, and how I got here.

[blue_sniper]

[So guess who's also walking through the lobby right when Clint is there. and he's suitably unimpressed by him threatening to shoot arrows at people.]

You know, you might shoot someone's eye out with that.

[compromisedarrow]

[Staring now. This guy looks familiar.

From the Captain America files... Clint actually lowers the bow slightly.]

You... You're James Buchanan Barnes, right?

[sixguns]

[Noah hates the bloody castle, but Carson lives there, and he'd been ordered asked to come up for a look-over. Things were still healing, and though Noah had decided weeks ago he was ready to go out and terrorize the world, Carson's more careful. Besides, he's grown to like the bloke.

[Enter the daft bugger standing in the lobby, aiming an arrow at him.

[First reaction, pull his gun--but he stands down. One does this when there's a weapon pointed at their head.

[Stare.]

Put it away.

[Not a request.]

[compromisedarrow]

Not an option.

[Not yet.]

Tell me where I am and how I got here.

JUST saw the movie last night i'm so excite.

[psych0p0mps]

[Welp, Aradia sort of took a nap after the Doctor's wedding and it did that thing where a nap turns into a full night's sleep... so she's late getting back to Alleyne's camping trip, and comes running through the lobby on her way out.

Only to come face to face with an arrow. She stops and holds up her hands, but more in a "stop that" way than an "I surrender" way.]

Whoa, put that down. You're gonna hurt someone.

:3

[compromisedarrow]

[Calm and steady as she goes.]

Only if I don't get answers. Who are you, where am I, and how did I get here.

Action

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine manages to walk into the lobby right near the beginning of Barton's transmission, so she hears most of it. Another newcomer, calling for his partners. Stark sounds kind of familiar, and she certainly knows Thor... in a sense. Probably not the same Thor though.

Then suddenly the man is aiming at her. Oh. Great.

Dairine scowls but doesn’t look the least bit intimidated.]

You really don't want to be doing that.

Action

[compromisedarrow]

And you don't really want to be telling me what to do.

[His hand tenses on the bow slightly.]

Lets do this the easy way; Who are you, where am I, and how did I get here?

[fanstheflame]

[where Gale's from, only Peacekeepers talk like that ... but he's never heard of anything called Shield. he wanders down from his room, since he still feels weird meeting people for the first time over the journal.

when the arrow gets pointed at his head, he'll just ... raise his hands]

Take it easy. Nobody here's going to hurt you. ... Trust me, I was flipping out pretty hard when I got here, too, and I'm still in one piece.

[compromisedarrow]

[Clint keeps his aim steady.]

Then we'll keep this simple; Who are you, where am I, and how did I get here?

Action!

[ruined_jaw]

[Jono was on his way into town, a guitar strapped to his back, when he happens across the new guy. He didn't really know any of the Avengers personally, but the bow and arrow are a dead giveaway.]

Stand down, Hawkeye. You're not in Kansas any more. The Avengers aren't here, save for Captain America. You're in a place called Paradisa, a pocket dimension that pulls people from their home worlds, and take things from 'em as an entry fee. Need a medic? You look like you just came from a fight.

[He offers a hand to pull the archer up. Despite having an arrow pointed at him, Jono doesn't look terribly worried.

Action - Clint's already up on his feet, btw.

[compromisedarrow]

[Hawkeye. Okay, we're getting somewhere. Clint backs off, keeping an eye on the guy.]

How d'you know me?

[Nope, not lowering the bow.]

And I'd stay where you are, if I were you.

action~

[formersocialite]

[Vivian is on her way back from the shooting range and still has her gun on her but it's tucked away in her jacket. Upon entering the lobby, she spots a man with a bow and arrow; not the strangest thing she has seen but worth taking a look.]

I'm pretty certain that target practice isn't allowed indoors.

Re: action~

[compromisedarrow]

[And Barton rounds on the newcomer, aiming straight between her eyes.]

Pretty sure I don't care. Next time you kidnap someone, take their weapons first.

action!

[korianders]

You should not walk around with a weapon ready.

action!

[compromisedarrow]

People shouldn't kidnap other people. It's not nice.

[Training the weapon on the newcomer now.]

dictated

[waterproofed]

What kind of a name is Thor?

dictated

[compromisedarrow]

The name of someone I wouldn't want to mess with.

[He's had the rundown, and the run-ins, with the castle and a few of it's residents by now.]

Yes. Yes, I did say later. I lied.

[fishy_go_byebye]

[Del cocked her head sideways when the arrow got pointed towards her face]

You're very young to be eating lembas.

LIAR! B|

[compromisedarrow]

[Arrow held steady, right between the eyes.]

...What?

[Action]

[schrodingersghost]

[ Danny eyes him warily. That sounded like a government code name. He'd had bad experiences with government code names and goons.]

Shield?

[Action]

[compromisedarrow]

[Okay, so Barton's not exactly aiming at random people any more, but...

His hand still clenches the bow.]

Yeah. You know it?
