Hi, City.

I know I came in a few weeks ago, but it's been a long haul from home, and I've been getting used to things around here. How long does it usually take to get used to things around here, anyway? Everytime I feel even a little more settled, a curse comes along and the feeling goes away.

But at least I'm pretty sure I have this Network thing worked out. It's not too much different from my radio transmitter at home. Howard would probably love to see this thing, that's for sure.

But I do have a question, and it's going to sound strange, but...does metal around here work the way it does back in your world?

I suppose?

[punchedhitler]

You suppose that metal works the same way?

[bedsidemanners.livejournal.com]

It's not something I go out of my way to test.

[punchedhitler]

Well, thanks anyway.

[orangetoughguy]

What?

[punchedhitler]

Something's wrong - and don't get me wrong, because it is my shield and I'm really grateful for you finding it - but something's not...right with it.

[orangetoughguy]

What's it not doing?

I suppose the better question would be how does your metal work where you come from.

[punchedhitler]

It's a specific metal, I guess. Have you heard of Vibranium?

[signatures]

No. But I'm not particularly science-orientated, either.

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

What kinda metal are we talkin' about here?

[punchedhitler]

It's called Vibranium.

[ruthless-hunter.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it. Lemme guess, it's suppossed to vibrate?

[had_not_lived]

Metal?

[punchedhitler]

Sure. Like a shield. Or maybe a piece of a car.

[had_not_lived]

There aren't all that many cars, and I don't have one-- or a shield, either. But I've never noticed anything strange about smaller things...

I've been here for over a year...I guess it's nearer to two years now, and I'm still finding ways to be freaked out and surprised by this place.

I don't think you can get used to everything, especially not all at once. It takes time.

...metal? You mean like the material metal? I think it works the same here...haven't seen any big differences, why?

[punchedhitler]

Well, I guess that's what we have an abundance of.

[Pause]

Just my shield seems different.

Oh, he is going to flip when he realizes this is Captain America.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Think of the positives, right?

...Different how, exactly, if you don't mind me asking.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Sorry to say, the curses are more or less incessant.

[punchedhitler]

That's what I hear. I don't know if they're easy to get used to.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

They... aren't. You either become flexible and forgiving or... you might break.

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware metal could behave differently.

[punchedhitler]

I didn't think so, either.

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

So, in my case, I suppose that's a 'yes, it does'.
