[Video | January 1st, Afternoon]

Good afternoon, Luceti. Eugene, here, and I hope you're all keeping warm out there. I know many of you are probably still recovering from the solstice celebration earlier this month, or festivities that might preoccupy you during the end of a year and the beginning of the next, but I am in need of a favor from a few of you.

[His smile is hopeful, a little nervous, but not tremendously so. That nervousness does prompt him to lick his lips to wet them, giving a semi-glance offscreen for a moment before continuing.]

I, uh, will need whoever's helping Tasha out with her café to contact me as soon as possible. Nothing's gone wrong, but I think it's a good idea I get to know you all better. I don't think I've met you all just yet. But we can work on fixing that.

Anyway, business is open as usual, if you need a warm drink to keep you from freezing. Drop by, I'd love to have the company! As always, listeners...

[Now his smile is genuine, feeling a little bit of embarrassment since technically the audience was watchers instead of listeners, but old habits die hard.]

Don't do anything crazy, out there. Just kidding-- stay safe.

I wasn't. But... there was, um. A version of her in my world, too. So she was someone I looked up to, as well as a friend.

[That's probably why it was kind of a long time coming- that friendship. He'd been doubly-intimidated by her for so long.]
selfhelp: ([billy] are you breaking up with me?)

Hah... that's not fair to you guys, is it? I'll... get over it. If the last couple of months have taught me anything, it's that avoiding what upsets me just makes me feel worse in the long run.

[He's just. Gonna avoid the implications of what that epiphany means in regards to his magic, because nope, nope, nope.]

And I wouldn't call her the same- no one is, not really. But until I got here, I'd never actually met her. But a big name like the Black Widow gets around, you know?
selfhelp: ([billy] but cap said...)

Trust me when I say that's the understatement of the century.

[Admittedly he hadn't seen her in action in her universe, but he'd seen enough here to get a good idea.]
selfhelp: ([billy] we do like him. sorta.)

...All I can really think of is something gun-related, and I seriously suck at using those.

[Well, okay, his experience is absurdly minimal. But his training session with a bow and arrow didn't give him much hope for his long-range weaponry skills.]
selfhelp: ([billy] yeah okay whatever.)

...I feel like I've heard that before, recently...

[Well, it's not like it'll hurt anyone. Hopefully.]

Alright, I'll bite. Shoot off some rounds at the battle dome, maybe? Maybe she'd like that.
selfhelp: ([billy] things are pretty okay atm.)

Sounds good. Just say the word and I'll be there.

[Or he'll try, anyway. He does occasionally have a life.]
