[Not everyone makes a big show with their arrival here. Hell, some people would like very much for their arrival, and subsequent tenure, to be as uneventful as possible.

Case in point: One Dr. Robert Bruce Banner.

You may see Banner around town, at the library, a cafe, maybe even his own farm (which is currently not being used as a farm), reading hefty looking books, taking notes about various things.

But regardless of what you find him doing, the most notable thing about him is how unremarkable he seems, coming across as a quiet, shy man who's just trying to keep out of trouble.

Of course, trouble tends to be drawn to him, but Bruce is hoping it'll hold off for at least a little while...]

Comments

library!

[whisted]

[Honestly, the library is still a bit mind-blowing. The fact that anyone can just use it whenever they want is more boggling still.

Of course, it also means that books aren't always on shelves while a person drifts through the stacks. And that means puffing up the courage to approach the most obvious potential culprits: those with large books and a distracted air.]

Sorry. [That's how you greet people, right?] Do-- you have the Feynman?

[True, Horatio is currently carrying a book on beekeeping and another on ornamental flowers, but surely Lectures on Physics has a universal appeal.]

[smartestonethereis]

Feynman?

[He looks through his pile of books.]

Here, I don't really need it right now, anyway.

[whisted]

[The victorious flicker of a smile is brief, barely there before it's gone again.]

I'll-- be quick, sir. Promise.

[Heck, he'll even find a table to copy on where the man can keep an eye and make sure he doesn't wander off with the book.]

[smartestonethereis]

Oh, take all the time with it that you need.

[whisted]

--really?

[There's just no getting used to people being accommodating, apparently.]
