khsdjah Hello there, Singularity! I'm Jae, and I play the movie-version of Captain Steve Grant Rogers, aka Captain America. I'm incredibly excited to be playing with you all, and I hope you'll be patient with my inevitable fail as I figure out my way around everything!!

Accompanying me on this grand adventure are

¶ HALLIE, playing Clint Barton aka Hawkeye, the company's resident SMALL MAN
Can be a very funny or very tiresome Tour COMPANION, depending on how this kind of thing grabs you. Since the Rules allow him to make JOKES, he will excuse uncouth behavior in a variety of comical ways. Physically he may be stunted or not at all handsome, although he usually dresses flamboyantly. If you can avoid smacking him, you will come to tolerate if not love him. He will contrive, in some way, to play a major part in SAVING THE WORLD.
¶ MIR playing Tony Stark aka I-am-Soulbonder-Man, the UNPLEASANT STRANGER
A Tour COMPANION whom no one likes or trusts. Usually the Stranger is male and neither young nor old. He can be either sly and ingratiating or gruff and taciturn, and sets everyone's back up and teeth on edge. His hair will be dark. In some cases he is a dispossessed or long-lost KING, embittered by his past, in which case you will have misjudged him. A fairly sure rule of thumb is to look at the Stranger's hair. If it is greasy, he has to be a SPY. If it is simply "unkempt" or "greying," or both, he is on the side of GOOD.
¶ SAMMO, playing Bruce "I'm sorry I'm so sorry" Banner aka the Hulk, our WOODSMAN
WOODSMEN live in the WOODS, and can be either Human or Other. They seldom join the Tour, but are often met in the course of it. Frequently they are hostile and suspicious to begin with. You may have to work hard to get them on the side of the Tour. Mostly they simply want to go on living privately.... Tourists are advised to be very polite to Woodsmen, however extraordinary they might look.
¶ AMMAY playing Thor aka........ Thor. The LONG-LOST KING
These are Kings who have been hidden or mislaid, generally soon after birth. They are normally rather young and will be using the Tour to acquire both experience as rulers and various items of Royal regalia (SWORD, SCEPTER, RING, CUP, et cetera) which have been lost at least as long as they have. There is obviously a bit of overlap between long-lost Kings and MISSING HEIRS, but you can generally tell the difference when you see one: a Missing Heir is almost inhumanly naive.

....Which I suppose makes Steve the resident VIRGIN
In much demand, for various reasons. For SACRIFICE on an ALTAR to a bad GOD. The virgin must be young, good-looking, and wearing white.... Occasionally used for tempting UNICORNS. The mode of attraction whereby a Unicorn is brought to lay its head in the lap of a young girl is probably no longer effective.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE. OH GOD PLEASE DON'T KILL US.

GREETINGS, USERS.

Hi, I'm Carolyn. I'm on the app team (you shoulda heard the high-pitched squealing noises I was making), and I play Kevin Flynn here, and Alex (

spacebased), an OC.

Welcome aboard!

There were many high-pitched squealing noises on this end when acceptances happened ngl. @-@

NICE TO MEET YOU.

I, uh. Decided a while back that Cap was Flynn's favorite superhero. He talked Tron into going as Cap for Halloween. /cough

But if you don't like fourth wall stuff it can retroactively not have happened.

LSDJF OH GOD NO I AM SO TOTALLY GOOD WITH FOURTHWALLING YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Headcanon says the original run of Captain America was the one that got written in movie continuity. u__u

TRON IS PROBABLY GOING TO FOLLOW HIM AROUND. The programs don't really get the concept of fiction, and all these fictional people appearing on the station don't help with that. They just think Flynn knows everybody. XD

The 60s run is the one where they find him in a block of ice and Namor gets pissed or something, idk, and then Cap's all mopey about Bucky dying because he doesn't realize he's in a comic book and no one stays dead. Silver Age.

aka, right about when Flynn would have been reading.

But yeah, that's pretty obviously the story arc they were drawing from.

YES! I actually just got the first Silver Age trade yesterday.

I read 1-100- a friend found them for me online. I can't wait until I get my hands on Winter Soldier sdkljfsdf

It actually took me a few years to realise Obadiah was played by Jeff Bridges.

BUT HELLO CAROLYN IT'S GREAT TO MEET YOU.

Tony is free to be all "UNCLE OBI D8<" if you want. Flynn's already been mistaken for Jeff Bridges enough that he put on a suit and went as him for Halloween.

NICE TO MEET YOU TOO

UNCLE OBI YOU GREW HAIR

AMAZING HAIR OKAY

Flynn will know who Stane is, too, and not be flattered.

i'm really glad it was high-pitched noises and not groans of disgust.

BUT YES NICE TO MEET YOU!

EXCEPT HAWKEYE I HATE HIM D8<

Nah, we coo'. I'm the biggest Marvel fan on staff, but everybody was pleased to see you guys go through with your reserves.

OH. OK THEN.... /quietly leaves

ah, i'm so glad! we were definitely really excited about it.

AND STAY OUT

♥

GREETINGS!

sldafdsafadfkl hopefully good noises though we've been known to make a number of them ourselves. And thank you!

Well, all the dogs in the neighborhood came running, but I like dogs, so I guess that's good....

Thor is my favorite of the latest crop of Marvel adaptations; Branagh's got the right sensibility to be directing four-color stuff. Though that is the fastest Hero's Journey ever.

Same! I could go on about how Thor wouldn't have actually worked as well or been as successful if it wasn't for the direction and acting and pretty much everything about it. And while I'm saddened that he won't be back for the sequel at least they're keeping up the trend of having unusual directors for action movies.

It's like what... three days tops?

He does most of it overnight. GOSH THOR QUIT FUCKING AROUND YOU HAVE WORLDS TO SAVE.

...is it bad that I'm making a mental list of people on Sacrosanct who can pick up Mjolnir? (It's like four names long. Place is full of douchebags.)
