[For a guy who just got kidnapped by aliens, Bruce is looking remarkably calm. He's quiet, too, and doesn't exactly carry himself with any sort of confidence. More to himself than to anyone else;]

As if the invasion wasn't enough. Though somehow, I think these guys are different. I just hope they're not Loki's allies, too.

[Then he pauses, glancing around the ship, which he's still standing in.] I'm going to see what I can figure out about this technology....maybe I can get things working again. If anyone I know is out there, please let me know you're all right.

For anyone else who might be listening...can you tell me anything about this place? Where is it, and who's in charge? I'd like to speak to them. At least, if they can understand English. If not, I guess I'll have to pick up another language.

((ooc: he's wearing the same outfit he is in the icon, cauuuse that's his canon point basically. :3))

I think I'm from a little bit ahead of you, then -- assuming you were on the way to Stark Tower right after the whole um, alien invasion was sorted out.

[She's had a couple months to watch Manhattan rebuild itself and the news media continue to freak out over what exactly happened. It still doesn't make it easier to process, even as she stands on an alien world and absently tucks a strand of escaped hair behind one ear.]

The local hospital could absolutely use your help, [she assures, steady and serious on this ground.] There was an organized attack a few days ago, and the locals took the worst of the casualties. There are... well, there are a lot of people and not enough int he way of medical staff.

[tiptoeing]

I was. [after thinking for a moment] Are any of us from the same point in time around here? I've heard a few mentions of time discrepancies. [Which he's still sort of trying to process, because lol TIME TRAVEL PHYSICS. But he'll work that out later.]

And I'll be there as soon as I can, then.

[pepperspray]

It's... complicated. [She reiterates this with a small smile.] I'm really getting tired of having no good answers, so if you geniuses want to come up with some for me, I'd appreciate it.

Tony's here -- he's been hard to catch up with recently, which doesn't surprise me given all the material he has to work with. Captain Rogers as well, and Jane Foster, the astrophysicist and Thor's, um, companion.

[Somehow the asgardian and 'girlfriend' just sound weird stuck beside each other.]

No sign of Thor himself -- I guess if he was here, we'd be closer to having a way out. On the up side, no sign of Loki either, at least not since I've arrived.

[Bruce would like to avoid thinking about things like companions or girlfriends in general, please.]

I'm working on that one already. And I'm glad to have some familiar faces, at least. The next time you see Tony, would you please let him know I'm here? I'd like to help him, if I can.

[And Tony is the one he felt closest to, but he can't say that.]

[pepperspray]

Absolutely. He's going to be thrilled that you're here. [Pepper delivers this prediction with a fond little smile directed at the absent Stark. A Tony with a science bro is a good thing for all involved.]

Although if you want to contact him directly, these communicators can do filtered calls or posts to others on the network. Have you gotten accomodations settled yet?

[tiptoeing]

[Bruce looks a little embarrassed at that first part.]

Thanks, that's good to know. And no, I haven't. Do you have any suggestions?

[pepperspray]

Well, there's a housing area called the 'Flop' where a lot of new arrivals stay until they figure out other accomodations. It's communal and a little tight-packed, so, um, it might not be exactly what you're looking for.

[HULK SMASH in the middle of a crowded dorm is not likely to endear the locals to the ship arrivals any, after all.]

Other than that, there are a lot of empty apartments that can be reclaimed -- Jane and I, and ostensibly Tony, are sharing one. I'm not sure where Captain Rogers is staying. They're private and can be as close or as far from the centres of activity as you like, but it does mean having to do some scrounging for furnishings, and potentially trading for things like a generator if you want power.

[tiptoeing]

[a bit awkwardly] I'd rather not have to share with anyone, if I can avoid it.

Things like nice furnishings and power aren't particularly important to me. I've lived without them before.

[pepperspray]

More than understandable. In that case, just find some place you like and claim it as your own. The number of people in the city is in the low thousands, so there's a lot of abandoned infrastructure.

[tiptoeing]

I will, thanks. I'll let you know when I find a place.
