Did you get a basket?

Did you make me a gift basket? That's sweet.
Someone stole it.

[technologist]

What? No.

text > action!!

[technologist]

I'm coming over.

[ Which he follows through on in approximately 30 seconds, so knock knock. When she opens the door, he's standing there with a basket in hand, filled with some very strange gifts. ]

action!!!

[hacker]

[ Rifling automatically through his basket uninvited, Skye grabs the water bottle out of the basket before she even steps aside to let him into her room. She leans her back against the door, making way for him as she unscrews the cap and sniffs the inside of the bottle as if she'd know what poison would smell like if it were coated (she wouldn't). ]

Okay, weird. [ She screws the lid back on, letting go of the door so it can click shut behind them as she follows Fitz into the main area of her hotel room. One of these days, they should really just knock the walls down between them and have an eternal sleepover. ] Where'd you find this?

I need to talk to you. Is this okay or do you want someone else with you and to do this in person?

So now you care about what's convenient for me. Wow. That's sweet.

Re: PRIVATE; ENCRYPTED | POST THREAD.

[ingrantitude]

Don't push me.

[You caught him at a bad time Skye.]

Case of mistaken identity. What was I supposed to do let you paint me as some kind of terrifying villain right off the bat?

[I care Skye because...

Because you should have been able to come to me.

You should have been able to come to me and I should have been able to keep you safe but I couldn't.

The very least a person could do who cared...would be to hold that person still.

Out of nowhere he thinks of Agent 33 and wonders what she's doing. The way she'd looked at him (I don't know what to do) rings in his chest.

He rubs his eyes.]

We're drawn together. What can I say it's bad luck on both our parts. Can you talk or not?

[ It's hard—damn near impossible, even—not to dig her heels in and bicker on every point. It doesn't take much paint. Villain is the label that kidnapping earns him. Twice. But she stays focused to make this as short an interaction as possible, instead. Prioritizes. May would be proud. ]

Fine. Talk.

Skye? Everything okay?

[hacker]

Well we're still stuck in a hotel that no one can escape. So that really depends on your definition of ok.
Run into Barton yet?

[starspangled]

Clint? No, I haven't run into him yet.

[Which is a little funny because of the 'stuck in a hotel' thing.]

I couldn't help but notice your conversation with someone. I just wanted to check on you.

a trace didn't work
or i should say it did but it was routed to an area below us and i couldn't find anything past the basement stairs
whatever this thing is its slightly smarter than me
slightly

text, encrypted;

[hacker]

Could have told you that.
I tried to trace the extra access point on the subnet once before. The origin point kinda pings around between the basement and this space below the courtyard. Probably some kind of sub basement.

[vdova]

which means they're doing a terrible job of hiding the fact that something is there
you've been here awhile, is there any time that they probably aren't watching us?

[ Obviously so they can go dig in the courtyard. ]
