This is Hood.

[ The sounds are unmistakable; the clinking of glasses, soft rock music, muted chatter. Hood's on a bar, be it for the booze or for the memories, he ain't telling. It's a little bit of both, really. At least in there he can pretend the crazy world he's been dumped into exists at all. As long as he doesn't walk out again there's nothing to worry, right? ]

Someone fucked up. [ There's a hint of irritation in his voice. ] They wanted a hero, they got me. I'm honored, really, but I sort of quit that life. [ Being a cop and being a hero aren't exactly the same, but that's as close as he's ever going to get. ]

I get it, though. No going back, at least not willingly. Fine. [ A pause; that whiskey isn't going to drink itself. ]

Just... you go your way, I go mine. Got it.

Good.

[ As if he would wait for an actual reply, pffft. ]

Straight to the point, huh?

[The name "Hood" reminds her of the name Oliver was given when he first became a vigilante. Now he was the Green Arrow.]

[heroforhobby]

Yeah, for a place looking for heroes it seems like they make a lot of mistakes.

[latro]

Only one chance to make a first impression, right?

[ He's going for the worst possible, too. ]

audio foreverrrrrr

[latro]

Do they now?

[ There's a bit of interest in his voice. ]

Don't tell me they've brought criminals over here.

[ Criminals... like him. ]

[heroforhobby]

I was thinking more like regular people or kids. Interesting you bring up criminals. [Scratches his chin idly.]

[latro]

Regular people or kids? That's ridiculous.

[ A beat. ]

I wouldn't put it past the people in charge.

[lightinside]

I guess so.

[Not the impression she would go for herself.]

But why that kind of first impression? I'm curious.

[latro]

[ Well she's more of a functional human being than him, so... ]

The "stay the fuck away from me" impression.

[heroforhobby]

I haven't met any that I know are villains yet, but I wouldn't be surprised. Seen a few of kids, though, that's weird.

[latro]

Kids

[ His disgust is almost palpable. Who takes kids from their homes? Their worlds? ]

Well, whatever. I don't care about any of this.

[santouryuu]

That's a lotta words for something that's no one's business but yours anyway.

[hello did somebody order one (1) rude pirate]

[snoobs]

[ Her accent is distinctly Indian, rather thick: ]

They don't seem to enforce it on anyone here, it seems.

[ Not that she doesn't have her doubts that one day they will try. ]

[heroforhobby]

[Eyebrow lift.]

Sounded like you did just care.

[garrick]

[ Somewhat bemused by the entire post.]

I didn't realise you could quit being a hero.

[morethan084]

Hood? Like Robin Hood?

[What? It was too easy.]

No one says you have to be a hero, but you'll find out it's kind of hard to be a villain around here too. Or even just a vigilante.

[Which is where Daisy put herself a lot of the time.]

[latro]

I can not care and be bothered by it.

[latro]

Just making things as clear as possible.

[latro]

And you believe them? Good luck with that.

[latro]

Surprise.

[latro]

Hood like Lucas Hood.

[ But he sounds slightly amused, because that's the actual first time someone tells him that one. It doesn't really apply to him, not exactly. ]

Talking from experience?

text; anonymous

[nastygram]

dude is this like you publicly stating your intent to go off grid

[morethan084]

You go by your last name?

[It wasn't that weird. She often called Jemma and Leo Fitz and Simmons.]

Maybe.

[That's a yes.]

Were you some kind of super hero back home?

[latro]

so?

[latro]

Sometimes.

[ Depending who he is at the moment. ]

Maybe, huh? Didn't think I would ever meet a vigilante.

[ As for the last question, all she gets is a snort and a scoff. ]

[morethan084]

Who says I'm a vigilante?

[So he could be a little shit too? Good to know.]
