entranceway | ( video ) ; 1st quake

[A woman appears on the screen, mid-twenties, roughly 5'6'', a naturally tan-ish skin tone. She's dressed in her SHIELD uniform (since that's what she was last in at home), which may or may not make her stand out more; she doesn't know the rules here. Her accent is American -- mostly midwestern(ish) -- when she speaks: ]

This is either the coolest SHIELD base ... or the worst day ever. Not sure which. [That's muttered more to herself as she glances tentatively around her before fixing her eyes back on the screen.]

Right. Enter one confused Daisy Johnson, hi. [And there's a small wave from her.] If anyone feels like telling me where I am and-slash-or why I'm here, that would be awesome and I would appreciate it. I feel like asking if there's a way back home is going to produce zero results since I came here without knowledge or consent, but bonus points if you have one of those for me too. Or, you know, other tips for a newbie here.

[A pause of a couple of seconds before she adds something on: ] Aaaand if there's any of my SHIELD team here? Check in, please.

[With that, she ends the video.]

so what are you supposed to be catgirl
halloween was like
last year dude

[Alex hits all the important points. Like you do.]

or maybe I'm just early for Halloween. :D

it WOULD make a pretty cool costume, but nah it's just my work uniform.

the hell kind of work are you in
that's either the best job ever or the worst
probably the worst now that i think about it

You're not wrong. Government work is pretty dull. I think they give us these outfits to feel like we're cooler than we are.

I mean, it works, not gonna lie. I do feel like a badass tbh.

[And that's how to explain SHIELD to someone not in it. It's not like she's actually gonna say "yeah we deal with alien threats, intelligence, and counter-terrorism stuff".]

government
seriously
with that fucking jumpsuit

[Kralie speak for "okay that sounds fake but okay"]

weeeeell to be fair, I didn't say paper pusher or intern with a shitty desk tucked away in an equally shitty corner.

so what are you
we're all stuck here with no way out so you might as well

I ... gather intelligence.

[closer. close enough.]

gee can't you vague that up for me some

intelligence on things that go ~bump in the night~

[maybe she won't be taken seriously.]

[Unfortunately she's talking to someone who has firsthand experience with said things. Or one thing in particular, notably.]

jesus you have a whole government thing devoted to that
well next time you see your higher-ups
you can tell them there doing a shit job

Our agency kind of imploded last year - long story - but yeah. Having more hands on deck would make it run more smoothly. I'll pass the message along if I ever get out of here.

good luck with that
you already got that memo probably
