[counterstep]

how many people need a primer on survivalism for this mission?
general headcount and identifications would be useful, so others can keep an eye out for you also, once we're in.

( to be helped, of course. )

gathering some info on this already, so I'll edit a bit later to add a basic guide below.

...you know someone who anticipates everywhere to be as cold as Siberia??? they need to get out more, if that's the case

Aurora said teamwork is necessary and that the labyrinth will make sure everyone is working together
this is an extension of that

[mockingbirdy]

I know someone named Barnes who is a particular expert in snow based operations.

[counterstep]

oddly specific but okay

definitely not me but probably another version given the number of people who keep mistaking me for someone else

[mockingbirdy]

Yes but he was amazingly useful when I needed to extract some files from Siberia though.

Well, I'm sure you're great like him then. I'm Bobbi.

[counterstep]

yeah I'd imagine so since most people don't know how to handle the wasteland that is Siberia, regardless of season

James
which I'm sure you already know

[mockingbirdy]

[Technically but she has never actually called Bucky that.]

James.

I'd offer to team but but if you're anything like what I expect our skill set probably overlaps quiet a bit and we could help people more from splitting up.

[counterstep]

( it's what he gives people he doesn't know. )

or use the nickname if you're pressed

( never stops people from being overly familiar anyway. )

that's the game plan
I don't intend to stick with experienced parties for very long

between tracking and survivalism, things are pretty stacked against the average person succeeding

[mockingbirdy]

Tracking is pretty good from SHIELD training but I'm more of a safehouse with a bed kind of girl.

[counterstep]

yeah I'm pretty sure most people prefer being safely indoors with a bed

I don't hate the outdoors, but sleeping on the ground is rarely pleasant when it's outside
on account of all the small creatures that like getting up in your business when you're trying to get some shut eye

[mockingbirdy]

Sounds like my ex.

[Which one? Probably all of them.]

[counterstep]

I meant the insects but I'm assuming you'd probably call them that also, in this case

[mockingbirdy]

Last I checked it was rude to call British people that but you're not wrong.

[counterstep]

technically rude to call anyone an insect, really

[mockingbirdy]

What about Ant-man. Or the Wasp?

[counterstep]

last I checked, they're still people
they just work with insects

[mockingbirdy]

Maybe. Could be aliens.

[counterstep]

Lang? and alien?

yeah he wishes

[mockingbirdy]

[She was thinking about Hank literally being one but hey. That works.]

I don't know Scott very well so I can't speak to it.

[counterstep]

what, then Pym?? he's retired, as far as I know

[mockingbirdy]

Dead, but still a jerk.

[counterstep]

never met him so I'll have to take your word for it

[mockingbirdy]

My words always good for it, promise.

[counterstep]

how do we know each other?

[mockingbirdy]

Are you asking how I know the version of you in my world?

[counterstep]

yes
