[If Nate sounds tired and cranky, it's because he is. Still injured from the mission, having the psychic feedback of everyone grumpy about the whole exploding spaceship thing bouncing around his head - yeah. Not a happy camper here. Which is probably also why he sounds a bit defensive.]

Look, at least nobody died, alright?

[Filtered to Raiden and Nikolas Kamarov | Video]

[...Yeah, he looks about as tired as he sounds. Sorry, new roomies.]

Hi. I'm Nathan. Don't touch my stuff. That goes double for the coffee - and if you do, I'll know.

Hey, there are a lot of people who can't fly who think jumping from perfectly functional planes is a great way to spend their free time. Done it myself a few times - granted, the catch is that you usually want a 'chute for that.

If you didn't have one... well, you sure you don't have a bit of luck knack along with the kinetic charge?

[solitaire]

I got luck in spades, homme.

Jus' not always sure what kind it is.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

[Nate snorts] Fair. Seems more good than bad, lately, though.

[solitaire]

_{( He pauses, pulling a face. Being here has helped put a lot about his life into perspective, but he still wasn't exactly happy, at home. )}

Guess y'could see it that way. Better than most people's, anyway.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Better than mine, I think, but I'm pretty sure the shit luck's genetic, there. [Because HIS FAMILY seriously]

[solitaire]

Maybe just' species-wide luck. Horrible all 'round.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Dunno. Sounds like space isn't much better, really. [From what little he's hear from Gamora, anyway]

[solitaire]

If we say everythin' sucks, it kinda means we're givin' up.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Earth still has plenty of things to like about it - this one a little less so, but still.

[solitaire]

If they had better wine I'd stop complainin'.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I'll remember that if I ever need to bribe you.

[solitaire]

What makes y'think you can afford ta?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Well. Get in your good favor, maybe?

[solitaire]

Not an easy thing, homme.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Don't I know it.

[solitaire]

Though, since we're talkin' about it, bourbon'd be better than wine.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Noted, and agreed. Though I'd settle for a decent beer around here.

[solitaire]

Few a' the taverns ain't so bad, for that.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Good enough to take the edge off the world, maybe. I haven't found a place that serves something worth appreciating on it's own merit.

[Charles Xavier taught him about beer. He has Opinions.]

[solitaire]

This is why everyone should be like me. I nick some a' the decent stuff when they send us back an' forth.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

That's my plan for the next mission. Coffee came first.

[Coffee always comes first]

[solitaire]

...nice priorities.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Sleep gets harder the older you get, I've found. [Okay, and all the years of vigilance and nightmares have worn their way into him by now]

[solitaire]

Really? 'Cause I didn't think it was easy, ta begin with.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Not going to argue with you, there. Product of the lives we've lived, I guess.
