[ the video feed comes to life with a young woman slumped against the counter of what looks like brooklyn's finest water bar. behind her is a blue sign that says 'the HYDRAtion station', but the lights on HYDRA seem to be broken because they're currently not lit up.

she looks vaguely unamused, ribbons of red energy swirling idly around her finger tips as they drum against the counter. ]

I'm taking suggestions for a new name for this... water bar. [ she gestures back to the sign, red energy following the motion like the tail of a comet, her thick vaguely eastern european accent not thick enough to disguise her disdain. ] English is not my native language, I'm afraid my puns will not do it justice.

I'm not so great at puns. The best I've got is "Water's Up"

Why are you trying to rename it?

[whatchoice]

I don't like hydras. Too many heads.

[ she does write down water's up though, gonna start a list. ]

[angele]

Have you actually fought a hydra in real life? Like actually asking because with all these other worlds it could actually happen.

artsy up there's on the right track, but don't be afraid to explore alternative pun options. you have a whole world of watery synonyms to work with!

H2Over here, as an example

[whatchoice]

[ another suggestion she scribbles down. ]

H2Over what though?

hydration station is a terrible name, anyway

[ not that dorothy has any good suggestions. ]

I am glad I'm not alone.

Hello! English isn't my native language either, but I submitted paperwork to rename the establishment I was first employed at to something less about wordplay. "Vkusno! Shaved Ice" is a far cry from "Icy Balls Shaved Ice." Don't feel limited by what came before!

[whatchoice]

Tasty is certainly less vulgar that snow balls.

[ no, she's not even saying icy balls. ]

Why does it have to be in English?

[whatchoice]

[ BECAUSE SOKOVIAN IS A MADE UP LANGUAGE ]

The rest of the signs are. The price of globalisation.

Did you just break that sign?

[ He sees that magic she's playing with. He hasn't been here five minutes and already he's surrounded by Downworlders. ]

I hope you have a reason better than how much that name sucked. You can't just use your powers to damage property. The hell are you thinking?

[whatchoice]

[ all it takes is a flare of red in her eyes for the lights to briefly reignite before they shut off again. f u, jace. ]

I don't remember asking for a lecture.

[ oh for fucks-- you can't see the look of utter disdain but you can probably imagine it. ]

Now that is just in bad taste. Sounds like one of those ridiculous school house rock videos with that terrible aftertaste of terrorist organization. Good call on the renaming idea, though I really don't see why it has to be English. Or a pun for that matter.

[ oh.

it's tony.

for joy.

no, come on, wanda, give him the benefit of the doubt, at least he is on TEAM HYDRA SUCKS ]

I learned English from Conjunction Junction.

What about "Aquaintance Station" or "Wet Bar".

Though that last one might give people the wrong impression...

[whatchoice]

What impression would it give?

[sorry she's just...looking slightly confused.]

What the quiznak is a water bar?

[whatchoice]

[ wanda gestures to the taps. ]

It is a bar for various types of water. [ it is fairly obvious wanda herself thinks it's stupid as heck. ] Water, which generally only has one flavor.

[ hydra. the beast slain in hercules' second labour. it seems as though she's slain it much in the same fashion. ]

Water Bar.

Pretty straight forward.

[whatchoice]

And yet not very fun.

Huh. You know, I'm not really sure. You could make a killing on Tatooine, though.

[whatchoice]

Why's that? I don't know what Tatooine is.
