Early August Stuff
Who: Cortana and ...you? (+ closed stuff for Bucky and Yelena)
When: Early August
Where: Around town
Summary: Cortana goes overboard fighting and antagonizing entities, eats shit and nearly dies as a result.
Warnings: Violence, rude gestures and offensive language, killing and dissecting monsters, Cortana nearly dying, probably more, will warn in thread
A)
(Those cars that are mysteriously tailing people around town? Yeah, they're doing a really bad job of escaping notice.
If they're trying to scare her, it's not working. She was built by a monstrously corrupt organization, she knows an entity badly mimicking surveillance tactics in an attempt to farm fear.
...Still doesn't mean she likes any of this.
Friends, and really anyone who knows her, might not be surprised to find her approaching, throwing rocks at, or--probably the most common option--casually flipping the bird at the cars. Yes, really. Sometimes she sticks her tongue out too. It might even be possible to catch her blowing a raspberry at a car as it's peeling away.)
B) For Yelena
(Look, taunting the drivers of the black cars is all well and good but knowing the entities this is probably harmful in a way that goes beyond just making people paranoid.
Also she wants to know what exactly is going on.)
Hey Yelena. (She may or may not have been the friend Cortana was originally looking for, but Cortana isn't interested in waiting around and Yelena is, she knows, good with electronics... and also murder, which, let's face it, is likely to be happening here.)
You wanna see if we can catch the driver of one of those cars that have been following people around? I'll shoot out the tires, you stop them from leaving on foot?
C) For Winter
(It's something she's always wanted, to just be able to spend time with the people she cares about without worrying about upcoming battles or the fate of the galaxy. That she can have that here is something she is eternally grateful for, even with the horrors of the entities constantly plaguing them.
For someone whose mind is constantly going a mile a minute even with cognitive limiters, Winter's often low key activity preferences might seem like some kind of exotic torture, but while it is true that inactivity is agonizing, this isn't quite that. Also, again, she's just grateful for the opportunity.
The memories will help, perhaps, the next time she has to face the terrors inherent to living in this world. Fortunately that shouldn't be for a while, and for now she can lounge around breaking records for the most inactive smart AI as she enjoys the company of one of her closest friends.
At least, she thinks it won't be for a while...)
