Audio | UN: d.johnson | During mission

[morethan084]

[The volcano has erupted and all hell has broken loose. Unsure of where everyone is, she speaks frantically to the network.]

I can get up there!

[She shouts, both in real life and into everyone’s earpieces. Hopefully they can hear her.]

One tiny little problem with that is I’d probably burn to death.

[OOC: Instead of just throwing the suggestion in the event log, I figured this might be a good way to ICly figure things out? This is the info I got from the mods in regards to Daisy’s powers when it comes to orb retrieval.]

[Shit. This is—

Incredibly risky.]

How many people can you lift at once?

voice; un: romanoff

[deaddrop]

Can't say I'm a fan of any plan that involves people burning to death.

[oiorpata]

Don't sound so annoyed about it.

[malta]

[ nothing is worse than his crushing loneliness so both, but he prefers the heat. ]

Still here, so I could say none and you'd have to concede. One time I dove out of a hot air balloon to grab Nicky off a roof, that was fun.

[morethan084]

Neither am I. But I’ve got nothing else and—

[Is it her business to share what they can do? Who knows, but maybe Daisy needs the reassurance as much as Natasha.]

They can come back from it.

[She’d love for literally none of this to happen.]

If you’ve got another idea I’m all ears.

[morethan084]

I’m not—!

[Joe and Andy might find this fun, but Daisy doesn’t. She cares about them, and there was a time where none of them had their powers. What if that somehow happened during the retrieval?]

I don’t want you to get hurt. Or worse.

[construing]

I caught a bus one time so… 〈 quick calculation, 〉 a lot.

Please don't tell me you're thinking of taking up the entire team.

〈 the capacity is there, the willingness is not. she already peeled one guy off the side of the mountain. 〉

[morethan084]

[Despite the seriousness of the situation, Daisy finds herself laughing. Which doesn’t help the stomach wound she got a few days ago.]

No. Just two.

[morethan084]

[Daisy frowns at the mention of Nicky’s name, feeling sudden guilt for not having even thought about how Joe might be handling all of this.]

You’re not doing this as some kind of self sacrifice, right?

[construing]

Two, I can do.〈 which two volunteered publicly so she does not ask. instead, 〉 Where do we meet up?

[morethan084]

[Her stomach is in knots over this, but despite that she manages to keep her heart rate even.]

Somewhere close by, don’t want to risk over or undershooting you. If something happens, I’ll catch you.

[She’d love for someone to come up with a better idea now.]

[OOC: I’ll make a suggestion on the event log tomorrow with all of this. <3 I’m excited!]

[deaddrop]

That depends what the full list of our resources looks like. I'm not going to shrug off a couple immortals on that list, but I'd like to call that a last case option.

[At this point, Natasha figures it's all their business.]

What I wouldn't give for a drone about now.

[But Sam is gone, and Natasha didn't bring Redwing with them in a choice that was more emotional than practical.]

Yelena and I both have grappling hooks. That might be a way they could grab the orb from further off. They'd just have to survive the fumes.

[morethan084]

[Daisy thinks about redwing as well, and Sam, but she has to push that all to the back of her mind for now. Their time to grab the orb is very limited,]

That could work. In fact, the further away we can all be while retrieving this stupid thing, the better.

[oiorpata]

[ it's not totally fun, but it's about finding the fun in it! ]

[ she considers locking the conversation, but she doesn't want anyone else to come at her over injury concerns either. ]

I know. [ she does know that daisy is coming at this from a place that really cares. but the arguments about it aren't going to change her mind. ] And I can't tell you I won't get hurt. We probably will. But it'll be a lot more temporary for us than most other people here. You jumping up the side of the volcano is dangerous too and I'm not about to stop you.

❤️

[construing]

10-4.

〈 gwen leaves the conversation there. anything else that needs saying can wait until they're face-to-mask. 〉

[deaddrop]

I still don’t like it, but it that’s the direction it goes we can give them some extra tools.

[malta]

I appreciate the level of drama you assign to me, and it's not incorrect, but the mission requires us to retrieve the orb so that is my focus. Not self-sacrifice.

[ a long pause. ] I just really want to be inside a volcano.

[ HE JUST THINKS IT'S NEAT. ]

[morethan084]

[She’ll seek him out once this is over, but he’s right. They have to focus on the orb right now.]

You might just get your wish.

[morethan084]

Trust me, neither do I. But unless someone else has a better idea, and I really hope someone does, this might be our best shot.

[laviny]

[Time for sister stupidity over the network.]

You can’t just volunteer my stuff to people without asking me first.

[malta]

Going to make Samwise Gamgee so proud.

[morethan084]

[Daisy looks towards the ashy sky, blinking back the tears that threaten to spill over from the overwhelming stress.]

I know. I just—

[That she can’t stop Andy either. Especially when no one else has come forward so far with a better solution. But it’s not just that, it’s the stupid feelings she has towards Andy that she desperately wishes she could rid herself of. Especially when she knows that nothing will ever happen between them. Shouldn’t happen.]

I can’t lose you.

[morethan084]

[Joe pls.]

I don’t know how you sit through those movies.

[malta]

A group of a friends on adventures where kindness is a gift overrides my fidgeting.

[ but only barely. ]

[deaddrop]

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of suggestions.

[She wishes she did. She wishes they had the resources they ought to have had. Not that it was a knock against anyone here, but Natasha knows there are a lot of powerful people who would have been very helpful to have with them right now.

People who are currently, hopefully, still back on the station.]

And I know we're running short on time.

[Every minute makes a difference when the volcano is actively erupting underneath them.]
