Video;; Old Man Yells At Cloud

WHO: Bucky (Winter) & You!
WHERE: Inescapable Hell Boxes, ig
WHAT: Video & Action to Cohorts
WHEN: Now
WARNINGS: Bucky Barnes has a potty mouth

[ When the video feed opens up, it's a face that hasn't been around for an entire month. He's unshaven, trying to keep the scowl off his face because it's not anybody's fault this shit always seems to happen to him, but here we are. Winter starts off just scratching at his beard to collect his thoughts. ]

Alright. First thing's first.. What the fuck is going on?

[ Thoughts scattered to the wind. All semblance of control of this situation gone. Good job, Barnes. A+. He huffs, looks off toward the room he's in for a moment, and regains focus. ]

Someone want to fill me in on the current situation? Can't say that I've got a passion for waking up in strange places with no memory of it happening.

No, that's exactly what I'd expect. It's not really new either, is it?

[They've both been through so much. This isn't the worst of it, either, but it's not good either.

It forces them to deal with it alone.]

You're awake now. That's what counts. You'll catch up quick.

Wish I could say that it was.

[ It's an old hat for both of them, even before the fleet, isn't it? They deal with shit as it happens and play the waiting game while something happens. ]

Just a day that ends in 'y', isn't it..

Hey... You okay?

[For values of okay. She knows he won't be happy or comfortable. But is he stable? Or is he on high alert.

Because she imagines she knows the answer.]

I don't really know how to answer that.

[ So, not great. ]

I wish you weren't over there while I'm stuck over here.

[He knows that, but she wants to say it. She's missed him so much it aches.]

Doesn't seem fair.

Wish you weren't, either. I could really use your company right about now.

[ He just wants a Nat-shaped hug. ]

[She feels this too, honestly.]

I'm always here to talk, at least. If you want to talk.

...Nat, I swear I'm seeing things.

Tell me about it?

The first time I saw it was back at the hospital, but I chalked it up to being out of it..

But now something has changed you mind. What is it?

Started fucking talking to it. Here. Not out there.

James... Who were you talking to?

[ He shakes his head. ]

I don't know. Can never get a good look at 'em.

Then what are they? Tell me whatever you know?

A figure in a cloak. Looks ragged, talks in echoes.

[ Which is really what's getting him caught on the fact that it might be in his head- parroting his words back at him. ]

I don't understand. You saw him on the ship?

[The. Not his. His ship was still the Heron in her mind, or Vanquish though that's more their ship, or her ship.]
