log 002, accidental video

[thestarspangledman]

[Well hello there, Barge. Have you ever wanted to watch a super-soldier beat the hell out of a punching bag? Because that's where Steve is, in the gym, intent and focused and scowling at the bag like it's his worst enemy. He takes a slight break to grab a quick drink of water, and then he's back to hitting at the bag. He's clearly been at it for some time, the bag is looking ...somewhat the worse for wear, to say the least, though at least he hasn't knocked it completely off its chain yet.]

[After another pause for water, he finally looks over and sees the comm, then picks it up with a slightly surprised blink.]

Oh, uh. Sorry. I didn't exactly mean to show this.

[A pause.] But if anyone wants to spar, or needs me for anything -- you all know where to find me now, I guess.

You can try and beat me up too if you want.

video; handwave?

[thestarspangledman]

Alright, that works.

[thestarspangledman]

[A soft laugh.] I don't want to break anything.

[video] and then i woke up to 3427645764 em tags and everything was beautiful

[thestarspangledman]

[Yeah, Tony? That annoyance isn't exactly going anywhere. He bristles a little when he sees who it is, turning back to his water bottle again for a moment.]

Fine. Don't buy it, it's still true. And yes, I know what robots are. [He's never actually seen too many in real life, but he does know.]

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm tougher than that I think.

[peektuttut]

[And Tim's mouth is twitching up in the corner, just a little.] Maybe I can teach you a couple things, while we're at it.

[thestarspangledman]

I'm sure you are, but even so. [He'll probably pull his punches anyway.]

[captain_jtkirk]

Try me. If you break something I'll make you stop. Scout's honor.

[thestarspangledman]

Maybe. I'm sure there's a lot I've missed out on.

[thestarspangledman]

If you say so. [So he'll be getting in a jab or two in earnest, still unsure whether or not he should be pulling his punches.]

[thestarspangledman]

Whenever you're up for it, then.

[peektuttut]

Martial arts has come a long way since the forties. When are you up for it?

[thestarspangledman]

Whenever you like. I don't have much to do here, yet.

[peektuttut]

Me neither, unfortunately. I could swing by in five.

[thestarspangledman]

That's fine with me.

[captain_jtkirk]

Tomorrow work for you?

[thestarspangledman]

Sure, that sounds just fine.

[video]

[aggravating]

Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is to someone who's not you? Because it is.

[He raises his eyebrows at that. He's well-versed in ignoring annoyance directed towards him, at least]

Beeping cardboard boxes don't count as robots.

[thestarspangledman]

Lots of people are born on the Fourth of July.

Doesn't mean I don't know what they are.

Spammmm?

[peektuttut]

Cool. [And Tim will take just enough time to change into sweats before taking the stairs up to the gym. He's probably more excited than he should be, but the constant worry of having to pull his punches can get annoying. So he's waving when he comes in.]

Hey. [He's also like 5'9 and wears his clothes a size or two bigger than he needs, so...Tim's pretty good at looking like a shrimp.]

[gotgreenmagic]

[Shego's resilient, to say the least, though far from invulnerable - and almost too willing to take a few bruises and/or hairline fractures in the interest of a good match. She blocks a couple jabs, takes another in the side and - yeah, definitely felt that. But all she does is grin through the pain and lifts her hands, green energy wreathing her arms to the elbow.]

Better.

[Aaand she lunges in, back to trading blows.]

video; sure

[hungryanhorny]

See you there.

assume/spam/idk what else?

[captain_jtkirk]

See you then.

[video]

[aggravating]

[You are talking to the basic father of robotics, okay.

And talking about robots has him missing his lab really, really badly.]

Somehow, I really doubt that. [His robots aren't his grandpa's robots]

Like, I really doubt that.

I doubt that to the point where I take offense on JARVIS' behalf.

[thestarspangledman]

[And Steve is somewhat relaxed, giving him a little nod as he sizes Tim up. Sure, he looks like a shrimp, but -- Steve is definitely one to know that shrimps can be a lot tougher than they look.]

Hello.
