the return of the revenge of just rp it.

[musedactyl]

how to play.

1. Drop a comment with one or more of your muses. It can be empty if you want me to make a scenario, or you can toss one at me. Prompts are boss. (a word, song, lyric, picture, phrase, a meme prompt, anything). Specify if there's something you do or don't want, otherwise I could throw anything at you: AUs, shippiness, awfulness. You've been warned, son.
1b. If you want to continue a verse we started in another thread somewhere, specify it in the comment or subject line. I'd be down for revisiting any of those.

2. In the subject line, you can specify any of my muses you might want to play with (including OCs, who have their own list), or you can ask me to pick someone. No muses are off-limits except for those that have no icon uploaded on the list. Otherwise, I'll pick or randomize someone.
2b. Muses I would really love to play right now, in case you are having a hard time choosing: Hawke, Hannibal Lecter, Selina Kyle, Fox Mulder, Cigarette Smoking Man, Serafina, Pepper Potts, Lois Lane, Jacen Solo.

3. just rp with me. if something jives really well, maybe we can continue it in another one of these later, sort of like a super casual verse. if it doesn't, it doesn't.

[ Sensing he's on the ropes and trying to slip being pinned down, Skye takes another approach to cracking him open. ]

Me too.

[ She lowers her chin, leaning against the side of his desk and folding her arms over her chest. Lilting piano fills the silence that she leaves. ]

I went by to see Fitz, but he … [ Her lips purse, and she shakes her head. ]

[refurbished]

[ it works, and he glances over now, concern for his team overriding his own attempts to shut her out ] It's important that you haven't given up trying.

[hacker]

You know me. [ She shrugged one shoulder. ] I suck at leaving things alone. [ Like him. She doesn't corner him quite yet, though. ] Simmons isn't coming back, is she?

[refurbished]

Never say never. [ how's that for a non answer for you today ]

[hacker]

And you?

[ She nodded to him. ]

Am I gonna have to take up sleepwalking for a chance at a one-on-one now?

[ Stupid director stuff. ]

[refurbished]

I'll always have time for my team. But since we're both here now, if you need to talk...

[hacker]

Well, since you asked ... [ Be ready to be put on blast, Coulson. As she paints this totally ambiguous picture of A Friend, she moves through his office, nosing around the stuff on display nonchalantly. ]

I'm having trouble with this friend. It's got me pretty worried, you know, 'cause it's like he's withdrawn a lot. Pulled away from the rest of us. Acts weird when we do get the chance to talk to him, like he's still the same guy we always knew, but he's dealing with something heavy. I don't know how to get him to let us take some of the weight.

[ She takes a seat at his desk, staring up at him expectantly. ]

What do you think?

[refurbished]

[ blasted :'|

he leans back in his chair, fingers twined together as he lets her call him out, expression not altering beyond the slightest shift behind his eyes. still, there's a little humor in his tone as fesses up. ] I'm thinking my objectivity might be a little compromised in this case.

[hacker]

So don't be objective. [ She sat forward, rallying by dropping the thin veil that had masked her intensity. ] Be honest with me, Coulson. I'm worried about you. Should I be?

[refurbished]

[ he doesn't answer with a yes or no, which is probably telling. ] I have the situation under control. What you might see as withdrawing is just... risk management.

[hacker]

May doesn't think you do.

[ Not to pull the classic lean on the other parent's opinion for back-up thing, but ... ]

She won't tell me anything. You're both keeping me out, and that means something's going on. I'm not stupid, okay, I know how you guys work.

[refurbished]

This isn't a question of keeping you out, Skye. It's not about trust or clearance levels.

I don't need you worrying about something that's out of your hands. Not when you have a job to focus on.

Yeah, which would be great, if I were getting anywhere. That writing is the deadest of dead ends. It's not a map of any place on Earth my computer can decode. Not a cipher. I've even started checking it against focal points of ancient art, A.C. It's nowhere.
