[The woman who appears on the feed might be familiar to a few people. She's sitting at a table or a desk and facing the camera, composed, but a little worse for wear. She looks tired.]

You sure know how to make a girl feel at home. [Not that she's faced frost giants or dark elves before, but dropped into the middle of a fight she wasn't expecting and wasn't prepared for? One that probably should be left to gods and super soldiers? That is familiar. The last two days haven't been boring] Is that normal?

[Natasha taps the table in front of her twice, drawing a slow breath as she considers how she's going to play this. If putting her face on the network is a mistake, then she's already made it.]

I think I'm ready for the welcoming committee now.

When you say it that way, it sounds like they come in another flavor. Are there better ones?

[plutonicideals]

Sometimes. They're a lot rarer, though...

[outstandingbalance]

Mind if I ask what kind of things happen in those?

[plutonicideals]

The last boring-but-good one, we got to run around a giant alien space station.

[outstandingbalance]

That doesn't sound boring. [Though compared to giants...]

Maybe a little boring.

[plutonicideals]

It's only boring in the sense that nothing's trying to kill us.

[outstandingbalance]

That's one standard of boring. I guess the most useful one round here.

[plutonicideals]

I think it's a good kind of boring. I am perfectly okay with that kind of nothing happening.

[outstandingbalance]

Makes sense. Sometimes there's no such thing as the good kind of exciting.
