Gumball Wishes and Taxicab Dreams

[On today's episode of the Drift Fleet:

The cargo holds are full of mysterious crates! The crews are filling beyond capacity with new faces! Official alerts are informing the passengers that they are signed to contracts that they've never agreed to! They are docking at the dazzling FS Starlight, but are flat broke!

What are they going to do!? Stay tuned to find out!


...Meaning, this is a kickoff mingle for you all to enjoy the beginning of the latest plot setting. This is a convenient place to start threads relating to the first week of the event-- meeting new crewmembers, reacting to the mysterious cargo, arriving on the station and discovering that you're all broke, etc.

Tag around, start whatever you'd like, have fun. And, as always, feel free to make your own posts and mingles from here on in, as this will be the only mod-posted one for this event!]

Idiot. It's my job.

[ To look after you. ]

You had plenty worries o' your own, last I checked. And... you know, it was-- [a helpless little shrug, he gestures the length of his body.] Easier, I guess. The Hell did I have to complain about, body like mine?

[So he just pushed himself to the end of every edge. It didn't catch up with him until they pulled him out of the ice, from a tomb he'd have not objected overmuch to remaining in at least at the time. Now, knowing Bucky's out there in the wind, he's a little more resistant to the idea. Getting to that point of self awareness wasn't easy.]

Look-- you never fell down in lookin' after me. You. [His voice pitches, it breaks a bit. He fusses with the arm a moment longer.] You're my best friend, Jim. How could you?

[ The silence acts as acknowledgement of their shared grief, and then Jim leans into his space, unwilling to move even when Steve steps away to fetch the plates to set them back. ]

Yeah, pal. I hear ya.

[Steve finishes tuning up the various bits of the arm as best he can, puts the plates back together in silence and starts hunting around for a cloth to wipe the grease and the red hydraulic fluid from his hands.]
