A little fun for the unplugged among us. Name one thing from your Matrix and other people can say if they heard of it in theirs. Maybe find a little common ground.

I'll start: New York City.

[ Kree on Earth, abort mission.

Fake Earth ??? Whatever. ]

You've met them?

[alsohawkeye]

Dated one for a while.

[retrofire]

Yeah, me too. Got the scars to prove it.

[ Which sounds a little... nah, gonna let it stand. ]

You ever been off Earth?

[alsohawkeye]

They're a little freaky, huh?

Yeah, some friends of mine needed to get out of dodge for a while so we all flew around in his ship chasing this crew that had attacked us and just kind of messing around, to be honest. Space diners and Dazzler concerts on the moon and angry squid beings ruining beach trips, etc.

[retrofire]

If you consider tearing your rib cage out while you're still using it freaky, yeah

And seriously? Because I think I missed out on the "spring break" portion of space. Must've been in different zip codes.

[alsohawkeye]

Wow, okay, no. Definitely not what I meant. You were just dating a crazy murderer, apparently.

Too bad, you probably would've liked it.

[retrofire]

An extremely hot crazy murderer.

And sure, maybe. Sounds like it'd get a little boring for someone who isn't playing Space Tourist.

[alsohawkeye]

It's really not fair how many crazy murderers are extremely hot.

We did some sight-seeing but it was mostly a lot of chasing skrulls and getting chased by monsters and stuff.

[retrofire]

Tell me about it.

So does the name Xandar ring a bell?

[alsohawkeye]

Heard of it, haven't been. Nova Corps, right?

[retrofire]

Yeah, Nova Corps. Total nerds. Not all bad, though.

So does that mean we're from the same one?

[alsohawkeye]

Possible? But there are a lot of people here whose versions are similar to mine but not the same. STARK & Rogers & co. We'd have to compare numbers to be sure.

I'd rather hear more about your murderous girlfriend ripping out ribcages.

[retrofire]

You know Natasha?

And I bet you would. Attempted ripping out rib cages, for the record. My rib cage is still firmly intact.

[alsohawkeye]

Yeah, I've worked with her some. Training. There is a different Natasha in mine.

Some days I'm even glad to hear it.

[ex_spins462]

Tell me about her sometime.

[alsohawkeye]

Sure, if you want. I didn't know her that well personally, we'd only met a few times. But she was famous and we have mutual friends.


Well, one. One mutual friend, maybe one and a half.

[ex_spins462]

Half?

[retrofire]

No point in crunching numbers. She's my Natasha.

My matrix's Natasha? Whatever you know what I'm getting at

[alsohawkeye]

They really like pulling from that one lately, it seems like.

[retrofire]

No point in digging elsewhere when you've already struck gold
