2nd Arrow ~ [Dictated/Action] ~ Backdated to the afternoon of the 19th

[compromisedarrow]

So, uh...

[Getting used to speaking over the magic book was something Clint has taken in his stride.]

Apart from sitting around and doing nothing, is there anything to do? I'm, uh, not one for reading, and there's only so much training a man can do before that gets mundane.

Guess I'm just used to always being active. Suggestions would be welcome.

[Either way, Agent Clint Barton is walking down to the shooting range with a flight case in his hand containing his compound bow and quiver of new arrows. He figures it wouldn't be a good idea to be wandering around with them out in the open, not after his arrival. Someone might think to take revenge.]

((OOC: Open over the journal, action in person, either going to the shooting range or at the range.))

[formersocialite]

There's a range where you could practice with your arrows. But someone has probably already told you that, yeah?

Re: dictated;

[compromisedarrow]

Found out for myself. I went wandering.

[formersocialite]

That's often the best way to discover things for yourself.

[compromisedarrow]

I can't sit still for too long. I'm in danger of thinking too much.

[formersocialite]

A wise idea. I can't sit idle myself, I always like doing something. Be it horse riding or going to the range.

[stalkershiki]

You could get a job in the town? It's not a choice that most people tend to make, but it's a great way to meet new people and just... have something to do!

[compromisedarrow]

Well it depends. [Are there any jobs for a trained assassin?] I have a pretty particular skillset. One I'd rather not show off.

[compromisedarrow]

Well, you wouldn't want me thinking. Might make more trouble than I already have.

[formersocialite]

You mean you've got into trouble already today? Or is this because of what happened after your arrival?

[stalkershiki]

Hey, that's not a problem! I mean, I had no skills at all before I started working, and I still found a job! Well, no skills that I could use for any open jobs, anyway.

[compromisedarrow]

I dunno. I think I pissed off a group of people somehow. Probably after the stunt in the lobby.

[compromisedarrow]

So, what kinda jobs are up around here?

[formersocialite]

Well, you did have an arrow pointed in their direction. [A beat.] If you just explain, I'm sure they'd understand.

[stalkershiki]

Well, I work at the WildKat! It's the coffee shop in town, and it's based off of a place from my home world! But there's also other shops and places in town that are pretty similar, if you're interested~

[compromisedarrow]

I'll look into it.

Uh... Apparently, Tony Stark founded a sorta police force while he was here. Is that still going?

[compromisedarrow]

Maybe. They seem like the types to blow things outta proportion, though.

[formersocialite]

This place sets people on edge most of the time. Only takes one little thing to annoy them.

[compromisedarrow]

Yeah, I got that.

[A sigh]

This place makes where I'm from seem simple.

[formersocialite]

Defending a city is much more simple than here?

[compromisedarrow]

Well, yeah. You know what you have to do.

[formersocialite]

I see. So, are you a super hero or something? Or more like an agent.

[compromisedarrow]

[A snort of laughter, there.]

I'm not a superhero. I've worked with them, and there is no way I'd ever be considered one.

[formersocialite]

[That prompts an eyebrow raise.]

Then what would you or do you consider yourself as?

[compromisedarrow]

Someone who gets the job done.

[formersocialite]

Quite the admirable trait in some ways.

[stalkershiki]

Tony Stark? Tony Stark... uh... oh! Wow, I haven't heard that name for a while... I... don't know. I haven't really heard anything about it... really, since he left, and that was ages ago. Maybe you could start it back up again, though! It'd probably be a good idea to have one of those around!

[compromisedarrow]

Maybe, but if Stark couldn't keep it running, I don't think I'd have much luck.

[stalkershiki]

Well, he also left, so it wasn't like he couldn't keep it running while he was here or something, you know?

[She feels like she also remembers him having done something bad and then voluntarily disbanding the Peace Patrol, but... well, she never knew him that well, and she's pretty foggy on the details, so... yep! Not really going to bother saying that part!]

[compromisedarrow]

Depends on the job.

[compromisedarrow]

Yeah, well, I'm not one for giving out orders. [Only following them. If Coulson or Fury show up, he'll pitch the idea.]

[formersocialite]

Is it classified?

[compromisedarrow]

Mostly.

[A pause.]

Listen, I'd like to ask a favour.

[formersocialite]

What is it?

[She's a little bit curious now.]

[compromisedarrow]

You heard what I said over the journal when I got here, yeah?

Can you keep it to yourself?

[formersocialite]

Yes, I remember what you said.

I can, of course. Don't worry about that.

[stalkershiki]

I guess that's understandable. Giving out orders is really stressful and everything, anyway!
