[OOC] "Okay, This Looks Bad."

[Blue Demon]

Timelines:

#3, the Present, Clint and Nat (they know the 10Rs are still active) learn about a new plot; something involving Tony now that he's out. They decide to head it off. Also Red Room.

#2, the assignment in the past = Red Room stuff.

#1, Clint's assignment to assassinate Nat. She's working with Ivan Petrovich (AKA Anton Vanko, the man who worked with Howard in the 50s). Ivan/Vanko gets away, and Nat defects to SHIELD.

Sorry this took so long! I got caught up in adulting today. Bleh!

[Blue Demon]

It's cool. I helped out at my g-parents. Went comic book shopping. Snagged a few issues of Secret Avengers, Silver Surfer and Black Widow (Noto's run). Of course they were out of the back issue bin, so I got some really random issues. But back-issues are so hard to resist! And I did lazy things like watch TV.

Ha.

Plus, whatever wait I endured was far worth it because you just blew my post out of the water. XD

[El Taco Taco]

I really need to get back into regularly reading comics. I sort of stopped when I was in my last quarter in school and it's just gone on the backburner since then. Gotta get my shit together.

Also:


You flatter me, srsly

@El Taco Taco

Disclaimer:
I feel I need to get this out here. Lately, I guess I've either a)overestimated my skill or b)suckered in people far better than me. Which means they get bored with me when I don't deliver the same quantity/quality. If you think you might want to abandon ship, please do it before I get invested. Thanks.

@El Taco Taco

Stopped... reading... comics?

[El Taco Taco]

What? Pft, you're great. I'm not going anywhere, nerd.

Haha! I mean, I've read some titles--I've read a lot of Saga, just finished volume 2 of Sex Criminals--I'm just not current on my usual selection. Admittedly, I've filled that time with like...so many vidya gaems

[Blue Demon]

You've been officially warned. ^{Now if you stop answering my PMs I'll come after you with a pitch fork. Because I swear, it's common courtesy!}

Anyways... I've never got into Saga. And well, Sex Criminals, I never got past the title. XD

What sort of video games do you play? I just finished Arkham Knight to the 99% I still need to fight Slade... but yeah. And I need a new game, and nothing looks good. :\

[El Taco Taco]

Haha! Sometimes I poof for a lil bit, but it's usually just adulting and real life being obnoxious and getting in the way. I always come back, and I'm usually able to post hiatus notices.

Saga is awesome, ahhhh. It's so surreal and compelling and I adore it. Sex Criminals is hysterical. Zdarsky and Fraction are a perfect artist/writer team, it's stupid

Mostly RPGs--I just replayed Baldur's Gate and I'm finishing up a modded megaquest before I beat Shadows of Amn. Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic (I'm in eternal Bioware hell), Borderlands, Neko Atsume (COLLECT ALL THE FUCKIN CATS D8<). Husbandito and I got back into Diablo 3 again, now that it's not fucking awful anymore. We did an all Crusader party and it was GLORIOUS *_*

[Blue Demon]

Poofers, I get. But when people are still active and talking to other people and NOT to me. That's what annoys me. Just a "na, I'm done" is fine. But no. Silence. D:

I read Fables, all the way up to the last issue. I still need to get my hands on it one day to finish the story. Just 1 issue. :( Why library. Why. Though talking about my library. They've finally gotten in vol 2 of Noto's Widow run. But not Vol 1. Which means I don't get to read it in order. Sad day.

Do you play D3 on the PC? (Because I totally do. lol.)

[El Taco Taco]

Oh, no bro, that ain't me! I try hard to reply to people in order--sometimes I get muddled or have to do another post first because inspo, but I do make the effort. Plus I'm like, so obnoxious in OOC. At the very least I'll spam you with puns and silly things.

I really need to pop over to my library, librarian friend assures me they have a wide selection. -to do list-

PC master race. My thingthing is DATWOWTSI#1706, but I'm admittedly not online much. I've got a Crusader, Monk and Wizard (who has equipment from like...Patch 1, so it's all hilariously butt)

[Blue Demon]

RandomPerson#1264
I have many characters. I have a Crusader (50 something), Wizard (Nearly 70 dang it!), and a Monk (70). I'm currently working up a demon hunter. I have a hardcore Barbarian, but she's a level 50 something.

I haven't been online in a while. I should do that....I'm terrible. :D

El Taco Taco

Do please. As much as you want. I love OOC chatter with people. In case you haven't noticed yet. XD

And I'm gonna head off to bed. Your reply is set as #2 on my list for tomorrow.

[El Taco Taco]

I literally hadn't played in two years haha, I am the worst.

ooc 4lyfe

I'm off too, gotta go do adulting tomorrow and finally get a fucking job and take an old Navy buddy wedding dress shopting slash day drinking. I'll be around tomorrow evening for suresies

[Blue Demon]

and finally get a fucking job

@El Taco Taco

Good luck with that. I haven't found anything. :( Except a stinking part time job where I get 8-12 hours a week. Which sucks.

And now you're #1 on my list of replies. I've got the post 58% brainstormed. So it might be a while still.

[El Taco Taco]

Yeah, I'm mostly looking for receptionist jobs, since my field basically requires a masters and it'll be a few years before I can go to grad school. I keep getting the, "wow your resume is so impressive, but you're over qualified" bullshit. Ugh.

[Blue Demon]

Gotta love being over qualified. It sucks man.

[El Taco Taco]

Right? Like, shouldn't that be preferable? It means I can master their shitty, 80s and 90s Era software and make things easier. I trained on and operated 60s equipment in the Navy for fucks sake, I'm pretty sure I can handle whatever programs they're using. Ughhhhhhhhh. It's all goddamn butts. I'm disabled, and I literally can't go back to retail, as it triggers my depressive episodes, but I have student loans and it's looking more and more like I need to sell my soul again. Butts butts butts.

/bitching and whining

[Blue Demon]

Retail sucks. (The gaping soul sucking job I'm working is retail) But it also sucks that it's not even a fall back.

But I understand your pain. I'm only getting 8-12 hours a week at my job (part time) and I can't find another part time job or a different one. :\ Yay for loosing money radically.

[El Taco Taco]

It's so soul crushing. Bipolar + introvert just doesn't mesh well. I can't keep my energy up enough to deal with monstrous volumes of people and I end up crashing. Which sucks, because I adore meeting new people and I'm hella sociable, I just need quieter environments. :/

Dude that suuuuucks. It makes it so hard to get a new or second job with shite hours like that. Best of luck, mate. I'm with a temp agency but they have yet to place me anywhere with a living wage. Ugh. Hopefully I can get a job in Seattle for that 15/hr minimum goodness.

[Blue Demon]

Seattle

@El Taco Taco

Man, what are the odds. There's a security guard place in N.Seattle that is pretty much always hiring. It's minimum wage. And at night. You work alone. But you can get as many hours as you need. It's called North West Security services. I worked there for a small while (until I figured out that I wasn't making money commuting. Sadly, that was my last steady job. *Shakes fist*)

[El Taco Taco]

Oh yeah, I always see those job postings! Small interwebs indeed! I live in Kitsap and I took the Stabberton Bremerton Ferry to Seattle for school every day for 3 years. Not sure if Im willing to do it for a night shift, haha!
I'm waiting to hear back from UW for an advising job that I think (knock on wood) that I'm a shoe in for, so fingers crossed there.
