awakened to cheers after years on the faultline

WHO: THE AVENGERS
WHERE: The new Avengers Embassy, at Stark Tower (the one that's not the Porter building)
WHEN: Tuesday, Sept. 25th afternoon to evening
WARNINGS: Probably nothing?
SUMMARY: Max Lord introduces the newest member of the Avengers to the team: Black Panther! Everyone, get to know each other, this is for mingling of all sorts.
FORMAT: Quick.


[ It's not exactly a meeting; they can discuss pertinent issues (as always, Max has a whole agenda of topics to bring to the table) another time, because today, what Max wants to talk to the Avengers about is short and sweet. It's something to celebrate! Within their brand new Headquarters Max Lord stood in a brown suit and a checkered tie, a table laid out with food and drinks running the length of the wall to his side. ]

Now, I know we have a lot of Avengers business to discuss, especially since some of us were gone for most of the month. But that's not what we're here today for. But of course if you want to talk shop later I won't stop you.

I'd like to present you all with the newest addition to our team: please welcome Black Panther to the Avengers. I think we can all agree we had a few [ Er. ] holes to fill... and this is our guy. In fact, I think a few of you know each other already.

( I put up a few working subthreads but feel free to make your own! This is for mingling and working out fun team dynamics, do and talk about absolutely whatever you want to. c: )

Man, what did those sandwiches ever do to you? [That said, he steals one right from under Clint's hand and pops it into his mouth.]

[trickshot]

They said Spider-man was a lame hero. I was just protecting your honor, here.

_{( But that maneuver does earn Spidey a glare, albeit a halfhearted one. )}

[incywincyhero]

[Spidey clasps his hands by his cheek, pitching his voice falsetto.] Oh, Clint, my hero!

[In normal tones:] Anyway. How've you been, Br'er Hawkeye? We haven't had a lot of time to talk lately.

[trickshot]

_{( The glare becomes a smirk, and then his face relaxes. )}

Can't complain, I think. Which is a hard position to be in, if you're me.

[incywincyhero]

So what you're saying is that you're complaining about not having anything to complain about. Only you, Clint.

[trickshot]

One of my many talents, I know. Try not to be too jealous.

[incywincyhero]

It'll take a supreme act of willpower, but I think I can manage.

[trickshot]

You'll be better off.

_{( He takes a breath, huffs. )}

So, what'd you think? Buying into all this Embassy and PR stuff?

[incywincyhero]

Kinda? I'm still waiting for the other shoe to fall, but it looks like it's working well so far.

[trickshot]

I dunno. I don't like it.

[incywincyhero]

What don't you like about it? Other than, you know, everything.
