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. ]

[ but it isn't done -- not yet, and not for her. she can appreciate the way he wants to shut it down within the conversation, however. it's the painful past for him. and yet peggy can't shake the feeling that she could change it if she tried. save him, even if she can't save steve.

not that steve needed her saving in the end. peggy swallows hard, and then swallows a mouthful of ersatz whiskey. ]


« I'm sorry. »

[ for bringing it up? or for letting it happen? who knows. ]

[ suddenly prim and suddenly stiff. peggy nods. ]

« No, I suppose it doesn't. Words are only words, after all. »

A-alright, Winter. I'll not pursue it. [ and she shakes away the language, falling back upon her native tongue. it's a hesitantly given promise. she's never good at keeping these kinds of vows.

not in the longest term, at least. ]

But if you ever change your mind and wish to...pursue it, first. [ she raises her glass. ] You know where to find me.
