Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp has come back to check on a few things, and both of the people he was looking for are out, so he decided to wait and see if they show up. This brings him to the breakroom, He has moved to get himself some coffee, and can be heard to cough and sputter a bit "Dang it, they still make horrid coffee here. He brings his flask out to fix the coffee a bit, He comes walking out from behind the counter taking another sip of coffee "Better."

Quake has posed:
Skye was working from the "office" today. She didn't know where her desk was.. still! Out there was a confused set of working mates who hadn't met her, and are wondering how she does it, because apparently she gets paid, but nobody is certain what for!

She sits at a table, logged in, and lives in her own world. For now, she hasn't even acknowledged she has company.

Typical Skye.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Clint Barton was just entering the Break Room, walking along the counter, his attention focused on his half-broken Starkphone 5. That done, he returns the phone to his pocket. Grabbing two cups of coffee at the counter - one for Skye and one for himself - he then proceeds toward her and.... bumps into someone, the coffee not spilling.

"Sorry," he says. He tries to see into whom he bumped, but can't see anyone around. That is because he's looking at eye level. Upon checking what was in his way, he then notices Chimp. Geese Louise, it looks like a chimpanze. Clint closes his eyes, shaking his head.

"Man, there was something wrong with the mushrooms," he grumbles. He must be hallucinating.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks up at Hawkeye, and says "Hey watch where your going archer." He says of the man, as he balances not to spill his own coffee. He sighs a bit "Your not seeing things I am real, and I am looking for a few of your bosses who seem to be out right now." He will step aside, and says "Name's Detective Chimp." He does introduce himself.

Quake has posed:
Without looking up from her laptop, Skye tells, "Fury's out on assignment. Coulson is incognito. And I'm not supposed to tell you who's getting promoted."

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Clint looks down - stares! - at Chimp, maybe a few seconds more than politeness would dictate. It is a chimp, no, actually, it /is/ Chimp.

"Oh, hi, sorry!" he says, blinking. Yes, he is talking to a talking chimp. "I'm Clint."

Hearing Skye about Fury and Coulson, he walks to her table, offering Chimp to join them.

"Well, nice to meet you, Detective," he says, "Want to join us for coffee?"

Clint then reaches the table, and places one of the coffees by her hand, not really expecting her to get her eyes off the computer. He can't wait to see her face once she sees Chimp.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp hmms and nods his head a bit to this and says "Well with them away, hopefully someone will realize Peggy is about and put her to helping, a waste of talent not having her help run things." He will comment. "So, your both field agents, how long you been with the company?"

Quake has posed:
*sniff.. sniff..*

Oh god, it's fresh.. mmmmm

Skye peeks up to thank someone.. sorry Clint, she doesn't know yet who has brought her a fresh cup yet.. and blinks.

"O-kay.." A chimp. Drinking out of the usual cups in the break room. This is one hell of a Halloween prank, or he's real. "Long enough. Clint is longer. And maybe. What do you know about her?"

She goes for real.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Clint takes the time to drink some of his coffee, still not so sure about the sanity of talking to a chimpanze. He'll get over it, he's seen so many weird things over the years. Well, so far, Skye doesn't seem to find it overly unusual, so maybe he should just play along and get over it.

"Yup, I've been around for a while and never saw you before, Mr. Chimp. You know Peggy?"
He's still trying his best to not /stare/ at Chimp, but that too will pass soon enough.

Ninjak has posed:
    It was at that time that the new recruit, fresh from MI-6, comes strutting in. Colin King seems to demand attention just by his bearing alone. Shoulders squared and back, chest out, tall and lean, with a perfectly fitted three piece suit. It's a fashionable, but also professional looking thing, in a dark slate grey, with the only tell towards ostentatiousness being the royal purple silk shirt that he wears with a dark blue-grey tie.

    Stopping for a moment, Colin blinks a few times as blue eyes dart about looking for the nearest coffee machine. That's when his eyes fall on the assembled spies.

    And a chimp.

    "Right then," He says, his voice sounding light, chipper and posh. "I was just looking to have myself a cup of tea. Please, for the love of all that is good, tell me that you have real coffee cups here, and not those styrofoam abominations that seem so popular?"

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp seems a bit used to people staring, not overly bothered by it at least. "I knew Peggy before you two were born, came looking for Nick and found Peggy, good to see she is back about, was a tough break when she disappeared." It seems the chimp may have some age on him. He looks over to the Brit "Ok cups, coffee is sludge." He comments on it

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
"Paper cups," Clint comment, studying the new guy. Never seen him before. The archer might be already thinking of /breaking/ the newest agent. There's something about the guy that says he's not your basic agent. The archer has instincts about these things.

"Why don't you bring the pot, and join us?" he asks Colin.

He then turns back to Chimp, "And how /old/ are you exactly?" he asks him. "Sorry for askin', but y'know, it's hard to say."

Quake has posed:
sigh

Her hopes were dimmed with the statement of 'sludge'. Oh well, she taking it regardless.

"Wait a minute, you know Peggy from before?" That would mean.. "How old are you?"

Colin wanders in, dressed up in a dress suit. He probably doesn't want to be her Agent in Training, based on the suit alone. "There are real mugs in the cupboard. I'm Skye."

Ninjak has posed:
"Ah. Thanks for the heads up, mate," Colin replies to the talkative chimpanzee, giving an appreciative upnod. "Coffee is always sludge. It does the trick when the trick is needed, though."

At Clint's invitation, Colin's eyebrows tick up for a moment. He hadn't expected such, but it wasn't necessarily unwelcome. Giving a nod of recognition, Colin moves to take up a mug from the cupboard at Skye's suggestion, then grabs both a pot of black coffee, along with another of just hot water. These he takes over to the table where the others are seated, and claims a seat of his own. However, it seems that the others have questions for the chimp. Understandable. But Colin isn't the type to interrupt.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp smirks a bit and says "I'm in my mid 70s, but if you could not guess, I am a bit of a special case." He offers with a chuckle he does hold out his cup for a refill stopping it before full so he can top it off with his flask again. "I'm one of specialists they call in for the odd stuff, getting about the time a year should be an uptake of it.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Coffee, yes, Clint needs more coffee. He nods at Colin as he reaches for the pot, and help himself with a second cup, quickly studying the new guy from a closer point of view.

"Thanks," he says, "I'm Clint... and you are? Clearly new and not from around."

OK, was Chimp adding booze to his coffee? Seriously? That added to Chimp's comment about odd stuff, makes Clint chuckling. "Odd stuff? I'd say, I've seen my share for the day already!"

Quake has posed:
"Welcome to SHIELD." Skye turns to the new guy, Colin, "Run! Fast as you can. Get out nooooow!"

Very inappropriate, as she laughs as she says it.

Ninjak has posed:
"Odd stuff," Colin muses with a nod, and a glance at the Detective's direction. "Yes, I can see how that tracks. You look rather sprightly for a chap in his seventies, though, for what it's worth."

"Colin," He replies to Clint, flashing a smile that is all gleaming white teeth and twinkling blue eyes, though it's clearly only skin deep. "Colin King. Formerly in the service of Queen and Country via Her Majesty's Secret Service, MI6."

Skye's warning has Colin's smile break wider, and he shrugs one shoulder. "I'm only on loan, mum. I'm a noncommittal kind of guy. Easy come, easy go, as they say. So running may be in my future, but not quite yet. We'll see how our cards are dealt together."

A pause.

"Charmed to meet you all."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp nods and says "Detective Chimp.' He offers for his name to the new one and says "Even if you run, you end up coming back trust me on that one. To good a resource to cut yourself off from it totally, at least if you plan on doing anything in the field you were doing here. He will sip his special coffee, and adds "But often you do find decent people here at least.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
If Colin's BBC Newsworld accent makes Clint wince, he doesn't show it. "So, you're a former Queen's King, I see. MI6? Nice. They know their shit over there, and have a long tradition in the /business/. You've got any specialty?" Yup, Clint is curious, you're never too careful in this game.

Upon hearing Chimp, he can't but comment."Decent? More than decent," Clint grins at that. He could name a few that aren't quite that decent, but it's not his place to mention anyone.

"But you are right, sir," he replies with a nod at Chimp. Why does he have to call him sir, is a mystery, but it comes instinctively. Funny.

Quake has posed:
"They never trust me when I tell them to go out now." Skye shrugs and grins. "I wonder why."

"I am in the data retrieval section of SHIELD." Amongst other things. "Most of the time they think I'm the guy who gets their passwords out for them. Don't mistake me for that guy."

Data retrieval was a kinder version of "hacker".

Ninjak has posed:
"Decent people seems to be a very protean turn of phrase when speaking of spooks and intelligence operatives such as our kind," Colin replies to Chimp with a wry grin. "We exist too often in the murkiest of the shades of grey."

Colin pours his own mug full of the hot water, and from within his suit jacket, withdraws a small wooden box, which he opens to retrieve a teabag. This he dips into the mug to let it steep as they converse.

Clint's question to his espionage pedigree does give Colin a moment's pause as he considers. These will be his new co-workers, after all, and if he's to join them in the field, they're going to know his classifications, anyway. With a crease in his brow, he replies, "I'm the most recent of the Crown's illustrious Ninja Programme. Agent Ninja K."

Colin turns his attention back to Skye and offers a more sincere smile than he had held previously and gives a faint nod of his head. "Data retrieval is one of my specialty skills, as well. I work a lot with tech, in general."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks over and says "Well good to know a couple of people to come to with computer issues, I can use one, but get much past surfing the web, I go to someone who knows better. If you see anything that goes bump in the night that should not go bump, you can send word for me, and will try to come help as quick as I can.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Now, NOW! A ninja! Ninja programme? Oh, this is something that obviously intrigues the archer. Clint finishes his second cup of coffee, then pushes his chair, a clear indication of his departure.

"Tell you what, Colin," he says, "I have to check something at R&R. But later, or another day, I'd like to talk more about the ninja thing." He too, has to mention some things at times. "I used to... hrm, be more than excellent with a katana and all that jazz. Maybe we could try a round or two, some day? It's been a while, but I'm sure I could make a more than /decent/ opponent."

He than stands, and nods around, "Chimp, Colin," he smiles at Skye, "I gotta go. We'll meet soon again, I'm sure."

Quake has posed:
"Mostly I surf around the darkweb. Unless Fury has someone for me to do. I've taken the last year to recuperate." Her undercover job, followed by being kidnapped.. then there was a little bit of getting her powers under control.. shh, not everybody knew that yet.

"So you are a human detective, and you are a ninjaking computers guy?"

Ninjak has posed:
"It's always nice to have someone to call when you're out of your depth. My voodoo connection hasn't been answering when I ring her lately, so I just might take you up on that, mate," Colin remarks to Chimp, before turning his attention to Clint. The offer for a round or two does seem to light something up in his eyes, and he gives a nod of his head, as he stands from his own seat. "I always fancy a good row with a skilled partner. It's hard to find people to keep up. I'd be more than happy. Help you knock a bit of the old rust off, while we're at it."

As Clint leaves, Colin turns his attention back to the others, though his left eye seems to have an electronic light blue glow held over his pupil, likely from a contact HUD.

"I'm an infiltration and... wetwork specialist, at heart. The infiltration part is where the computers come in. I'm more about bypassing security than anything else. So if you need help with that, I'm your guy. If you need to have sniffers and plant worms or viruses, and things of that sort, I suggest more capable hands."

"But alas, it seems that I've got an important, if last minute, appointment to attend to. It's been a pleasure. I'm certain we'll meet again very soon. Cheers!"

    And with that, Colin takes his mug of tea and heads towards the door.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks over and nods as the archer and then the ninja leave. He looks back to Skye, and says "Nope, I'm an honest to goodness Chimpanzee that had an encounter with magic, and can now talk to anything that lives, and doesn't age." He offers to her. "Sadly, I think I need to follow the others, got to go have a chat with a falcon about what he has seen coming and going around the empire state building."
