Figuring out this Earth thing
He's been shopping, so he actually has clothes to put in his closet at home. He now has a closet too, albeit temporarily, though he's hoping he'll be able to get a room at Avengers mansion before Aunt Sersi shows up again. He has a hunch that might be awkward, though he's sure he's going to meet her again sooner or later. While he's not a member yet, and doesn't have a room, they have told him people will be about eventually, and told him to make himself comfortable - within reason.

He's stolen a few more of those cookies - this Earth food thing is good, when its not Anya cooking. He had even tried the creme brulee. He's pretty sure he shouldn't have to apply greater-than-human strength in order to bite into something intended as food. He was also pretty sure that sharing some of his father's enhanced senses was temporarily a very, very bad thing.

Other than that though, its been pretty comfortable. He's found the lounge and found the TV remote, and managed to ditch the shirt somewhere along the way - on that, he had to agree with his cousin and Aunt Sersi, humans were weird. Right now, he's just looking through the options humans have for mass entertainment. Seems as good a way as any to learn the culture.

Anya had just walked in the front door after arriving at the Mansion directly from school. Pepper and her father had banned her from the office during finals week much to her displeasure, but Dad hadn't banned her from the lab. So she came straight to the mansion and cut through the rec room to grab a snack before hiding away in the lab.

Oh hello. What did we have here? A wonderful shirtless specimen of manhood. Maybe the lab could wait a little longer.

"Hi."

	He glances her way, sitting up on the couch. "Oh, hey. Anya, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-22 06:32 am UTC (link)
	She caught herself staring at muscles moving smoothly under skin. "Uh...yeah." Get with it. This isn't the first incredibly hot guy you've seen. "Anything good on?" she asked, nodding toward the television. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-22 06:33 am UTC (link)
	He doesn't seem to mind the staring, maybe, just maybe even flexing, just slightly, in the process of reaching for the remote to offer it to her. "I honestly have no idea. I've never watched television before. I'm using it to try and help me learn human culture." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Television is the last thing you should be using to learn about human culture. It's far from accurate or real." She flopped down in a nearby chair. One that had a perfect view. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-22 06:37 am UTC (link)
	He considers that a few moments, then turns the television off. "Well, its entertainment, sure. But I figured there might be some useful information there. But ok, if you were trying to explain humans, where would you start?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-22 06:50 am UTC (link)
	"We're hard to explain. There's so many different types from all walks of life. If you want to learn about humans and their quirks, you go out and watch them and take someone along who can answer questions."

	"I've heard that about humans. They confuse most of the galaxy. That's a good idea though... how do you feel about being taken out people watching? I could bribe you with dinner or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-22 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Or something. She liked the sound of that or something and could find a few things...Bad brain! "You don't have to bribe me, but dinner would be nice. I love to people watch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 01:21 am UTC (link)
	Sammy dragged in from her last final, drained but glad it was over. Now she just had dinner with her folks tonight to rehash the semester. And talk about Mikel. She paused in the doorway to see who was in the lounge, shook her head over the pretty, pretty body on display, and headed for the stairs to put things away and get into the shower.

	cosmic_son 2009-05-23 01:33 am UTC (link)
	He glances up from the television. He does have some of his father's senses, after all... and a lot of television still isn't making much sense. "Oh, hey Sam." he calls, as she's turning towards the stairs. "Can I help you with any of those books?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 01:48 am UTC (link)
	She turned back and smiled. "Naw, thanks anyway. You're busy rotting your brain there. Hate to interrupt your education." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-23 01:51 am UTC (link)
	He turns the tv off and sits up. "If people idly refer to it as rotting my brains, it can't be much of an education, and without someone to explain, half of it makes no sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"Depends on what you watch. I haven't had time for more than a movie here and there in the last couple of years." She motioned for him to stay where he was comfortable. "I'm just going up to my room to throw these around and talk mean to them before I get in the shower. Everybody play nice with you today?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-23 02:12 am UTC (link)
	"Its been very quiet, for the most part. Anya came by, then headed for her lab. As for what I watch... a little of everything. Sports, news, food, whatever was on. It was intended to be, like you said, education. I'm trying to not end up messing anything up before I go too far afield." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 02:30 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, you will. We all do. It can't be helped. As for the quiet, that could change in a second, and I know my seconds very well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've done ok working my way into various cultures so far, though everyone who's been here says Earth is very... unique. I appreciate the vote of support though, or, I guess, at least empathizing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-23 03:48 am UTC (link)
	Once again, he's too perceptive for his own good. Or maybe her own good. An ear perks, and he looks towards the doorway. Not a footfall pattern and weight he recognizes. "Come on in, I don't bite. I'm Iason." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-05-23 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"Sorry," she says as she pads her way in and stops not too far off. She's decided to not look directly at him to avoid embarrassing herself. "I'm just kind of new here and didn't want to disturb anyone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-23 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"Please, disturb me. I'm just trying to figure out some 'Earth' things, and as much as it seems like television should be helpful, its probably not. I know just enough to figure that out. And for what its worth, I'm new here too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-05-23 04:01 am UTC (link)
	"So dimensionally displaced or alien?" Now she's looking right at him. Before she hadn't really let herself. Man he's pretty. Better keep it as possible friend though since she wants to get used to this reality not start trying her hand at dating right away. He's probably not her type anyways.

	"Other, Eternal, mostly. Living part time in Olympia sort of prepares you for a little of Earth, but not really. And the Shi'ar, Skrulls, Kree... and so on, each have their own things. And they all think Earth is weird." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-05-23 04:10 am UTC (link)
	Now she hops over the back of a chair to sit comfortably. "Why is Earth weird? On my Earth while I was with the Avengers we hadn't encountered aliens for about six years. Four years since my parents let me join." She reaches up to fiddle with her bangs. This is a nervous action since she misses home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Honestly? That's part of what I'm trying to figure out. It may partly just be its diversity of beings they've seen... mostly the super heroes from here. As well as figuring out how one planet keeps having such a big role in galactic affairs and intra-empire wars when only a handful of its beings even have warp travel yet."
