When the body had stopped rolling, Vimes looked around the square. People were watching from the coaches. The crowds were silent.

There were a lot of things he could say. ‘Son of a bitch!’ would have been a good one. Or he could say, ‘Welcome to civilization!’ He could have said, ‘Laugh this one off!’ He might have said, ‘Fetch!’

But he didn’t, because if he had said any of those things then he’d have known that what he had just done was murder.

Transcalar Investment Vehicles and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD

So, at last year’s London Film Festival, I went to see some experimental short films and Transcalar Investment Vehicles was one of them, but unfortunately the version of the film they had at the festival wasn’t the correct final version.

And she never quite says *how.* But sometimes Skye or Coulson will think about doing something May would disapprove of – just think it – and Agent Spot or Agent Wags will give them this look like they *know.* And that’s enough.

(also Agents Spot & Buddy are the best fetchers, and sometimes if Coulson and Fitz have been especially good they will gently suggest that they all play with the tennis ball together.)

(look MAYBE I am picturing a whole family of dog agents with carefully selected personalities to keep track of everyone. MAYBE. Skye’s is a golden retriever who likes hugs. Fitz gets a border collie who helps him find files. Coulson gets the most serious, tenacious corgi ever. Agent Wags is a Jack Russell; he needs the extra energy because he is in charge of Simmons and Trip and Bobbi and Lance put together, although really it’s mostly Lance.)
