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.

It sure as hell hasn't.

I think it's the company we keep.

[He says this in a tone of voice that says he doesn't think either of them would trade it for the world, though.]

[reconstitution]

Could be we were born under a bad star or some shit like that. Having seen more than my fair share of us, only conclusion I can make is that James Buchanan Barnes doesn't ever get it easy.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

[Bucky snorts a little, but,] Well, that's morose.

But maybe not inaccurate.

[He shrugs a little.] No use complaining, either way, right?

[Not that other!Bucky was, just... well, maybe he's lamenting that fact.]

If we don't got it easy, I guess at least we know what to expect.

[reconstitution]

A shitty time and a best friend who would move an ocean for us if he could?

[ Hey, there's that silver lining! ]

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Pretty much.

It could be worse.

[reconstitution]

God, don't jinx us.

...But yeah, you're right. It can always be worse. At the very least, we don't have to worry about HYDRA's bullshit here.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Yeah, yeah.

[But, admittedly, you never know who's listening, and he knows it.]

At least. [He looks - and sounds - both guilty and sympathetic.] God, part of me doesn't ever want to go home, but part of me can't just... leave them in power, the way they still are there.

[reconstitution]

If this is anything like back in the fleet where time doesn't really go on without you, there'll be plenty of asses for you to kick.

[ He understands the need to stay and the pull of going home, and he doesn't blame Bucky for it, either. ]

[stillgotmyleftarm]

It seems like there always are, [he agrees.]

Honestly, if they stay back home, it's a little bit of a relief. Although also kinda weird.

[He hasn't gone this long without something - or someone - to fight since he was deployed.]

I wonder if we could get some kinda sparring thing up and running. You think people'd go for it?
