Debrief 001 | [Action/Voice] | Déjà vu?

[Coulson wakes up, trees to his left and right and a path right in front of him. A short distance down the path and to the right he can see a house, actually he can see a few houses from where he is. Everything seems familiar.

The sensation of familiarity is disquieting at first, until everything comes back.

Well... that explains a lot.

Coulson looks around and spots his journal, but sadly there are no clothes this time. So he's stuck in the usual new feather garb of white pants. After being in dark suits for most of his life, he's not sure he likes those pants. With the nice new scar on his chest and back, he's not sure he likes the fact he's shirtless. Also, there is a chill in the air which makes being shirtless very uncomfortable.

Using the mountains and the river, both to his left, he manages to orient himself. With this knowledge he heads towards town center to visit the clothing shop and get dressed. You may run into him a he heads to the clothing shop. Feel free to notice the fresh looking scar almost directly over his heart (but not actually) and the bigger one on his back. Coulson may greet you, but mainly he's focusing on getting to the clothing shop. Unless things happen.]

((ooc; Location is over by House 4, just a short distance up the path leading towards the farmlands.))

[After getting clothes and after whatever adventures happen while he was getting clothing, Coulson puts together a first new post to the Luceti community.]

Greetings Luceti.

My name is Phil Coulson. I have been here before a few months back before... leaving and it seems I have returned.

As far as I know I don't have any unfinished business from before, but If I did have some with you please remind me.

I have probably missed a lot, but is there anyone whose willing to give me a brief summary of things I've missed? I'd be grateful.

[Small pause.]

I think that's all... No wait, Rogue, do you still need help at the item shop? Sorry for leaving you in the lurch.

[The most loaded question ever.

Coulson refrains from raising an eyebrow at the unsubtle change in conversation. He doesn't comment on it.]

Oh? What is it?

[Coulson didn't realize some of his stuff would be left behind. From what he heard, very little was left behind when someone left.]

Aye. That is another correct phrase.

[There's a sound of something crashing on the floor on the background and Loki has to turn away from his journal for a moment so he can yell at his dog.]

Thori! You are not a good dog!

[He returns a couple of minutes later.]

I am back.

I don't. It's just annoying after the first five dozen times.

So, what sort of work do you do, Phil?

[Aye? Everything points to the person being a young teen, except the language. That language is not in a style you normally hear from teens. He sounds rather like Thor actually...

Coulson is intrigued now.]

So I see. Everything alright? Did Thori break anything?

[Loki thinks he's actually a very hip talker. He knows all those awesome Midgardian teenage exclamations.]

Thori always has a tendency to break something. But I'm training him to be a good dog.

[Once Coulson gets the full story of everything that's happened, he is going to sit down and have a long talk with Clint about degree of blame in incidents of mind control. SHIELD has regulations about it, including mandatory counseling by a head agent. Clint's getting it even if SHIELD isn't here.

Phil takes the chair and sits down, careful to avoid jostling his wings which are tightly folded against his back. The ache is less if they are like that. Also they tend to react to his emotional state more than he liked. Which is another reason to keep them tightly folded.

Thank you.

[He raises an eyebrow at Clint.]

Normally? I'd be thrilled. Especially if it meant you handed in your paperwork on the correct form, not on napkins or post-its and done in the correct ink instead of the glitter purple gel pen you got from who knows where. [Only a few of the ways Hawkeye has turned in paperwork.] However, seeing as this is not home, the usual reactions need not apply.

Please, sit down. [This is obviously not an order. Coulson is going to get their new working, casual, whatever relationship sorted right now. There is no SHIELD here, so things must change accordingly.]

[The dog is a him. With a name like Thori, Coulson would have assumed the dog was female. Huh.]

I'm sure he'll become a good dog then.

Where did you get the name from? It's not one I've heard before.

[At least not a dog. It almost sounds like one of those modern names parents give their kids out of misguided kindness. Or pure child abuse. He isn't sure which it is really. Considering the root of the name is 'Thor' he wouldn't be surprised if, after what happened in New York, people named girls 'Thori' or 'Thorina' in tribute. ...Sometimes, he despairs for the human race.]

To be fair Sir, the napkins was only once and I was doped up on some pretty heavy drugs at that point. You're lucky I didn't try writing the report in blood on the bedsheet.

[That had not been his finest moment.

He sits down when prompted, back ramrod straight, gaze straight ahead and his wings folded tightly against his back.]

Sir?

Thori's name? It is a most unique name that only befits a dog like him.

[Loki does not answer questions for free, stranger.]

Speaking of names, what is your name?

...Yes, I could see how that would be annoying. [Multiple version of the same thing, basically stating you are horrible for choosing the career you worked hard to be good at? Very annoying.]

Mainly paperwork for a large government-sanctioned organization called SHIELD. [Everything in that sentence is true, yet none of it truly explains what he does. Consider him a simple paper-pusher at your ow peril.]

It certainly is unique...

[Smart Kid.]

I'm Phil Coulson. And you are?

I try to give my pets most unique names.

[Of course he is.]

Hello Phil Coulson. My name is Loki.

You have a point. Glad you didn't do that since bedsheets are hard to file.

[That mission is in Phil's file of 'Top Twenty-five most FUBAR Missions'.

Right then. This painfully formal Clint was setting Coulson's already frayed nerves on edge. Coming back to life (back to Luceti) isn't easy but it doesn't matter because everyone he cares about has been hurt while he was gone. And so he must do everything to help them.

Clint formality almost hurts, but if it's what he needs right now then that's what he'll give him. Coulson makes himself sit straighter, even as it pulls uncomfortably.]

I believe you were going to tell me about what has happened. Specifically the zombie incident.

You have succeeded.

[Oh...

Well, at least now Coulson knows why his speech is a bit off.

Keeping in mind the key fact that people from different universe are here Coulson reign in the immediate urge to snark. Also, he's already talked to his world's Loki. He doubts it's that Loki playing with him. Not enough icy snark.]

Nice to meet you, Loki. You are much more pleasant than your larger counterpart.

[Lupin frowned in thought at the casual admission. SHIELD...hadn't he heard that somewhere?

No matter.]

Paperwork, huh? [With that carefree way of prying out information? Though, Lupin had to admit, he hadn't been trying very hard to keep it secret.]

We'll work it out as we come to it.

[Luke nods at the wince. It'd been really, really bad.]

Right, well look at me. I don't want to overload you with business on the first day. How are you settling in, Phil?

I'm sure you would have found a way, sir.

[He nods slowly, pulling together his thoughts on what had happened into some kind of logical report.]

We were drafted around 4am on the 25th. An hour to get to the transporters. We were taken to suppress an invasion by the Cultists in Vaskoth compound. There were draftees from other compounds there too. The Malnosso had amassed a significant force. We had to arm ourselves from the Vaskoth armoury. Couldn't take any of our own weapons.

Early on the 26th we received reports about the cultists displayed strange symptoms and later that day some of our own started taking sick with the same illness. Within twelve hours of infection, they'd lost their minds. They were faster, stronger and angry. Driven by rage and hunger, they'd attack anyone who opposed them. The doctors worked out that it was spread by blood, saliva.

I... cut myself on an arrow. Had a scare until Adele gave me the all clear.

[Some of the most tense moments of his life, waiting to find out whether he was going to turn into one of those creatures or not.]

He is named after my brother, Thor. But I am sure a sharp Midgardian like you has been able to discover such a thing already, yes?

[Oh, but Loki can snark as well.]

Aye! But...it can also be a trick. I could also pretend to be a lovable pre-teen Loki while I am actually a tall, brooding man who likes to invade Manhattan accompanied by a race of aliens.

[You might want to remember eventually Lupin.]

Oh yes. SHIELD produces a lot of paperwork. Governments tend to like paperwork. And my boss doesn't like to do his, so I end up doing it a lot of time as well as my own.

[Fury has a love-hate relationship with paperwork. It's mostly hate.]

That's the best course of action.

[Phil gives Luke a smile. Hey, at least the information about the farm is interesting and not causing him stress. Unlike nearly every other bit of information he's had yet.]

I don't mind. I'm settling back in just fine. Catching up with people I know, the usual.

I had my suspicions.

[At least it's friendly-ish snark.]

Oh if you were that Loki, I'm sure there would have been some sort of subtle comment about our last interaction. But I suppose the idea isn't impossible.

[Of course, if it was a trick the best idea is not draw attention to it. Which you did. So the possibility of this being big Loki just being a dick is low. Either that or the best use of reverse-reverse psychology ever.]

Aaahh~~

[He knows that he should remember, except ~~his mundane is lazy~~ for the fact that he often just didn't care about the details of the different worlds if they were too similar to his own. They simply didn't strike him as 'special']

What kind of organization is SHIELD, anyway? Is it anything like the NSA, or does it have more in common with the ICPO?

[Your loss Lupin. Your loss.

Coulson thinks a moment, comparing what he knows about the NSA and the ICPO to SHIELD.]

It's a mix of both of those. We are loosely associated with America but mainly work worldwide.

Perhaps more like the ICPO overall.

[Lupin snorted, agitated.]

Goddamn Americans getting their fingers in every pie~ That happens on your Earth too? [Not that he particularly cares, but he's a little tired of how obnoxious some people from the States can get to be.]

[...There are not enough swear words in Coulson's vocabulary to properly capture his internal reaction to everything Clint has said so far.

Externally he is calm, like always. The only thing giving away that this information is disturbing and distressing to him is the slightest shifting of his wings.]

And Captain Rogers got infected. Then was shot by his best friend, Bucky Barnes.

[Phil breathes in. Somehow he thinks things are so much worse than just that. Everyone is too subdued. The close call Clint had along with everything else makes his gut clench in a rising tide of guilt, fear, and concern. For a moment he closes his eyes.]

I am relieved you were not infected.

[It's moment of bare honesty before he opens his eyes and pierces Clint with a knowing look.]

What else happened?

[There has more to the story than Clint is telling. It'll probably be distressing but he needs to know.]
