[Video] Tuesday: Week 71

[tiptoeing]

[Hi network, remember this guy? Well he’s back. Again. He’s a combination of embarrassed and nervous about the whole situation, but what else is new? He has some lingering bruises from being trapped by rubble, but is otherwise all right.]

Well this is a little bit awkward. Third time’s a charm, I guess? Though this time wasn't exactly like the others...I haven’t been in a pod. [He pauses for a minute, fiddling with his hands out of habit.]

I don’t know how many of you I know are still here, but I hope I can be of some use to you all, regardless. Particularly if you haven’t gotten the ship up and running yet; I remember that being an issue. And if there’s any chance I can still help out at the hospital, I wouldn’t mind multitasking.

...Thanks, by the way, to those of you who helped me get out of the ship. I appreciate it.

I don't know you.

[That's not a bad thing, mind. It's only a fact.]

What is your name?

[tiptoeing]

I don't know you either, if that helps. [There's some humor to his tone, despite everything.]

Dr. Bruce Banner. You may have met some friends of mine already, depending on how long you've been here.

[girlworthfighting]

Fa Mulan. And I've been here...I will need to think. Needless to say, it has been some time.

[tiptoeing]

We must have missed each other the last few times I've been here. If the names Tony Stark or Thor ring a bell, we were friends before we all turned up here. And Pepper Potts I knew of, at least.

[girlworthfighting]

I know Lady Potts, and Thor. Tony Stark's name is familiar to me but we have never really interacted. His interests and expertise lie very far from mine.

[tiptoeing]

I have the feeling mine do too, then, but you never know. What are your interests and expertise? [He genuinely wants to know, even if it's something he's not familiar with. All kinds of skills are useful here.]

[girlworthfighting]

Combat, mostly. Survival. I once served the ruler of my land as a soldier, and when my time in the army was done I traveled as an adventurer.

Here I follow the Sheriff and work for her offices, mainly because it's the only way I can see left to be allowed to do what I always have. Protect people, and fight in the name of honor, and the greater good.

[tiptoeing]

[Bruce smiles faintly at that.] Fighting for the greater good and protecting people are something we're both familiar with, though we're not soldiers in any sense of the word. So we're not that different. I'm not particularly good at combat, but I know a thing or two about survival.

[girlworthfighting]

You mentioned Thor. Have you fought alongside him? You do not seem Asgardian.

[tiptoeing]

[That gets a laugh from him.] No, no I'm not Asgardian. But I'm not exactly human, either. And yes, we've fought together. It's kind of a long story.

[girlworthfighting]

Most tales of battle often are. Perhaps I'll get to hear it at some point.

[tiptoeing]

I'm sure you have plenty of exciting tales yourself. But I'd be happy to tell it.

[girlworthfighting]

Well, you're here now. For better or worse, as the saying goes. I'm sure we'll at some point cross paths.
