How does everyone deal with loss? How much of an impact is it meant to have?

Similar. Unrelated. Is anyone familiar with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? I would like to know more.


[ Action >> Iskaulit ]

[ If you happen to be on the Iskaulit at any time in the wee hours of the morning, between two and six, you may run into Winter utilizing the gym. There aren't really posted hours, and that's usually when no one else is around.

The poor sandbags that he helped Jim hang all those months ago are getting a beating. Winter's focus is zeroed in on the same worn spot, but apparently something gives. Winter reels his left arm back, a high metallic whine the only warning before he lands a blow. It's enough force that not only does it knock the sandbag from its hook, but it goes flying across the room like it's nothing.

Emotional? Who's emotional? Nobody here. Mind your business! ]


[ Action >> Heron ]

[ Winter may have been restless before, but without Jim, this is something new entirely. Crew have been coming and going regularly over the past few months, but this is different. The Atroma decided that he should be captain? Over someone who would probably be more capable at it. He sees what you did there. You just couldn't pass up the chance to not have to change names in the roster, huh?

He's trying to wrap his head around it. Sure, he led teams on missions as the Winter Soldier, but that was different. He wasn't really calling the shots. Being Captain is new and scary and leaves room for so much to go wrong.

If anyone wants to bother him, or happens to be visiting, he is more than likely roaming the halls trying to burn off the nervous energy. He's comfortable with the ship, but now he wants to know it inside and out. As if he hadn't already done that. Honestly, he is distraught without Jim and doesn't know how to handle it. It's not as if he can talk to Natasha about it, either. Or Steve.

The message is more than clear- don't get attached. ]

I'm sorry.

[Does he mean just now, like people went home? Or are these people that died or went away before? She considers over which one it could be, and decides ultimately it doesn't matter.]

Loss carves big holes in you. It's very horrid. But they fill in again over time.
flickerflash: (how about a no)

[Katie finds a lot of people like talking to her. Maybe the 'counsellor' augment isn't so farfetched after all.]

You need to be careful then because you don't want to fall apart. Don't make any sudden moves!

People can help plug them up for you, though. Just for a little while. They're not good enough to fill them, but they can still help.

[She lies because she has to. She tries never to be hurtful about it.]

Because everyone's different. But sometimes it's nice to let them try anyway, even if they can't stay properly for you because they don't fit.
flickerflash: (eh them's the breaks)

All my points are valid! [...no, they're really not. But in this case, well.]

Do you know people that might help here?
flickerflash: (do you promise?)

[personal profile] flickerflash 2016-04-04 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you should go and spend time with them until you feel better! Or until they get on your nerves. Whichever comes first.

Oh! Did you get made Captain?

[Well... that'll be a distraction in itself.]
flickerflash: (is this yours)

[personal profile] flickerflash 2016-04-07 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't you want to be Captain? You could always say no.

I suppose you've only got one way to find out.
