Rooms

[In an elegant script, the original Italian of the Dantean verse.

An English translation follows:]

As when an entering tempest rends
The brooding heat, and nought its course can stay,
That through the forest its dividing way
Tears open, and tramples down, and strips, and bends,
And levels. The wild things in the woods that be
Cower down. The herdsmen from its trumpets flee.
With clouds of dust to trace its course it goes,
Superb, and leaving ruin. Such sound arose.
And he that held me loosened mine eyes, and said,
"Look back, and see what foam the black waves bear."

[Public, as John B.]

[Several cursor blinks. John is not great at the whole small talk thing.] So. Door travel? How does that work?

[Jim G./John B.]

Sir.

[Across a page of her journal are some random scribbles and doodles from a bored Ginny. Among them are random Weird Sisters lyrics, a homework to-do list, a stick figure doodle of a Quidditch game, and random geometric shapes. Around a doodle of a Pygmy Puff is the question:] Has anyone seen Arnold?

[Hogwarts]

[And the more serious question:] Has anyone considered the possibility of Volde [she started writing it but quickly crossed it out and further completely blacked out the name] the Dark Lord being brought here as a student?

[See Pepper he listens.]

[Locked to Carol Danvers, Jessica Drew, Wanda Maximoff]

Hey. I saw the post awhile back about the mansion and that you had a training simulation room of some kind. I'd be interested in learning how it works, if that's okay. And if you needed any repairs or updates, I might not be as good as Tony in that field, but I have basic knowledge.

[Locked to Thor]

[Not sure how to start.] Hi Thor. How are you?

[Locked to Natasha R]

I heard you took a SHIELD hiatus.

[Locked to Jane Foster]

Hello Dr. Foster, how are you today?

[Locked to Selina Kyle]

I'm attempting to speak to at least six people right now. Be proud.

[Locked - Carol D]

You free for lunch this week, Carol?

[Locked - Natasha R]

Checking in to see how things are.

[Bucky B]

Mr. Barnes.

[Max M]

Happy Hour?

[After this.]

[Locked to Sharon C]
I'm staying at the Tower tonight.

[Locked to Selina K]
Ma'am.

[After this, it took Carol longer to arrive at the boardwalk--still in a timely manner--than it did to actually get ready. Air Force cap, hair in ponytail, and standard workout gear, and she was doing some light stretching as she waited for the Captain's arrival. The cap would only help disguise her identity a little, but a little was better than nothing. People would know her face, since she didn't bother to hide it. More so Steve's than hers, but.

Running was not her usual mode of exercise, but it wasn't about what was or wasn't normal for her. She yawned and straightened, glancing around for his arrival.]
