Who: Bucky & You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Heron
When: 11/2

[ Hello, fleet! Today you get a message from someone who's been more than a little absent the past month. Some people may be more aware of it than others, but he's finally crawling out of the woodwork.

Waking up has been more than a little disorienting, because he didn't recall falling asleep, or when. It makes him uneasy, a solid weight sitting in his gut. The last time he couldn't remember things, it wasn't so great for the fleet. ]

What year is it?

Not sure how long I was out..Is everyone okay?

[ Kara thought about texting back but she thought that Winter might want to see a fresh, happy face to help ground him, so she waves and smiles ]

It's still 2016, if we're calling it that in space. You were out for awhile but it's November of the same year!

[ Oh, Kara. Talk about a sight for sore eyes. Pardon how terrible he looks, but he is relieved to see that she's in one piece.

God, he needs a shave. ]

It's only November? [ God, it feels like so much longer. His limbs ache like coming out of cryo. Guess that's what a month of disuse gets him. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Yep! November 2nd. Looks like you got a head start on No Shave November, Winter.

[outstandingbalance]

About a month.

You missed a little excitement. Nothing catastrophic.

Have a nice nap?

[reconstitution]

..No Shave November?

[ What even.. He shakes his head. You young people and your weird trends. ]

I'm glad it wasn't longer. [ There's a pause before he looks back at her, all business. ]

Everyone's okay, right? Nothing bad happened?

Re: video

[takingkarabusiness]

I think everyone's okay, for the most part. Nothing big and bad happened. But you missed Halloween, which is a shame.

[reconstitution]

Not long, then. Doesn't make it any better.

What sort of excitement?



I feel gross.

[reconstitution]

Alright, good. [ He shrugs a shoulder a bit stiffly. ]

Not much of a celebrator anyway. Did you have fun, at least?

video

[takingkarabusiness]

It was fun, if a little revealing. But it was great to see everyone's costumes.

video

[reconstitution]

Everyone dressed up? ..Do you have pictures? I'd like to see.

[ Please tell him Steve dressed as something ridiculous.. That would make his day. ]

video

[takingkarabusiness]

I think we got some. Also you missed the karaoke.

video

[reconstitution]

I'm sure that was a sight.

video

[takingkarabusiness]

It was really fun. We should all do it again some time.

video

[reconstitution]

The fleet could probably do with some regular, positive entertainment.

video

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah.

We're in a new system... It's weird but nothing terrible so far. Not as fun as the last few places though.

winter!!!!!!!!

um i don't know what year it is but i didn't before but you have only been out like a few weeks everything is fine and the situation is green nothing to report

[Please don't still think she's a loser, she missed you buddy. She's too excited about him being back at all to be self conscious at the moment.]

[reconstitution]

Good to hear from you, Wrath.

As long as everything is green. Sorry I disappeared on you. Didn't mean to.

[reconstitution]

We should be getting ready to leave before much longer if it is the beginning of the month..

The planet. Followed an SOS here. When we got here there was a shockwave that played hell with our comms for a while.

Eventually found the source. Shipwreck. No bodies other than robots. The place was a ghost ship.

Also, Halloween party.

[There it is. All caught up.]

Nothing that won't wait while you take a shower if you want to know more.

video

[takingkarabusiness]

That's what I was thinking, too. We'll see how it goes.

[reconstitution]

Sounds like a familiar situation. I wonder if it's as much of a ghost ship as we're made to believe.

Halloween party sounds interesting. Tell me more.


Not moving quite yet. Working the stiffness out.

[reconstitution]

..It's good to see you, Kara.

[outstandingbalance]

One of many, many questions it raises.

The party was good. Costumes. Dancing. Drinks. Karaoke.

You should ask Steve about some of the girls' costumes. He has opinions.

[reconstitution]

What other questions are being asked?

Oh, I'm sure he does.

[outstandingbalance]

If it's a trap.

[Natasha's instincts still say trap, but that is very possibly paranoia talking.

Healthy paranoia, but paranoia.]

He must have offered half of us his coat.
