Bucky Barnes || OTA

[reconstitution]

A;; Ebrion
[ The Heron is mostly put together again after the shitstorm that was Lato'li, but it doesn't hurt to get extra supplies to do repairs and get her back to normal. The parts vary in use, and for now, Bucky wanders around and window shops, keeping places in mind as he moves on. There's time, so he doesn't need to settle for something that looks like it might break after a while. It's cold, so there aren't a lot of other people around ]

B;; Duotera
[ With new planets come new cities, and Duotera has a few of them to offer with the normal bells and whistles. Lots of shopping and restaurants, and a bit of people watching. Or maybe he's making a delivery for someone on the planet. He does have a soft spot for those little old ladies. ]

C;; Philias
[ When he's not exploring the cities or shopping for supplies, Bucky can be found sitting on the beach. Watching the waves make their way up the beach, people watching, or his face stuck in a book. Come say hi or bother him, he probably won't mind too much. Just ignore that suspicious face. ]

D;; Wildcard!
[ Hit me up with anything else and throw in a starter. ]

[spacebro]

[Mon-El wanted to scout out what Philias was like at least near the poles. He didn't want to plan a beaching outing with Kara if it was going to be too rough. Granted, they're both pretty tough so a little heat wasn't going to be a problem. He's walking over the sand when he spots a glistening metal arm and takes notice of the person attached to it.

They haven't talked much and their exchanges haven't been the friendlest you could say, but they're both in relationships now. And it's totally not weird he slept with his girlfriend that one time so sure.]

Must be a small world. A small three worlds. Hi.

[reconstitution]

[ Nope, totally not weird at all, especially if nobody brings it up. Natasha is her own woman, her past affairs aren't threatening to him. He glances up from his book when he hears someone drawing nearer, turning his head to watch Mon-El come nearer. ]

Who knew people would want to sit in the sun? [ He nods. ] Hey.

[spacebro]

[He will happily not bring it up. It can stay nice and down from now on. Definitely easier that way on everyone.]

Being inside cramped ships in the inky black cold of space is pretty great, but sometimes a change of pace is good. You came to read? [Nodding to the book he interrupted.]

[reconstitution]

I like the beach. [ It's a simple enough thing that he feels the need to defend. A warm, sandy beach has always been a peaceful place for him. He doesn't feel the need to do anything at all when one is present. ]

It's mostly quiet. Not a lot of people.

[spacebro]

Right, so then I would be...making it louder now? [Should he keep moving? Bothering Kara's handsome friend and Natasha's boyfriend probably isn't the best move. But getting to know him better could be good? Maybe?]

[reconstitution]

Louder, but not intolerable. Yet.

[ He glances up at Mon-el, raising an eyebrow, waiting to see if he's going to move on or sit down. ]

[spacebro]

That was an invitation to stay? [You can see where he wouldn't be sure, right?]

[reconstitution]

You can stay.

[spacebro]

Okay, great. [He settles himself down on the sand.] Sooo... I don't know much about you other than you have good taste in friends. [Thinking of Kara and Natasha even if she is more than a friend to him.] So, what do you do back home? Or for fun?

[reconstitution]

Home is a little complicated. Currently, I'm on the lam and not doing much. Cryostasis will do that.

Reading is something I've come to enjoy here. [ He shrugs. ] Boring, maybe, but I can use boring.

[spacebro]

Okay, I like reading, but being on the lam sounds exciting, but less if you're frozen for it. [How do you just move on to reading from that?] How did that happen?

[reconstitution]

It was my choice. My mind's a dangerous place- or it was. I don't know if what Charles did here will have any impact back home.

[ It's definitely something to think about.. He's not certain. ]

[spacebro]

I thought things from here generally didn't go back home with us, but that sounds kind of negative under the circumstances, so I'll just say hopefully? What kind of thing did this Charles person do? [Curious and maybe a little cautious.]

[reconstitution]

How familiar are you with brainwashing? [ Which is a pretty heavy statement to start with, but here they are. ]

[spacebro]

[Just some light beach chat!

He pauses because it does sound intense, but he can handle that. He just looks more serious than he had.]

I've never had it done to me [would he know if he had though?] or done it to anyone, but I'm familiar with the concept.

[crowkiller]

[Yeah, this beach is reel great time. The sand, the surf, it's all swell. It's about to get even better, because this elf is kinda drunk and not paying attention. That shore was you and your book he just tripped over just now.

He's flat in the sand and spits some out of his mouth, muttering something in Antivan (Spanish???) as he pulls himself from the ground. And then he see this gorgeous man that he just made a fool of himself with. Hm. Awkward.]

Well, this is one way to meet.

[hi.]

[reconstitution]

[ Somehow, he manages to keep a grip on the book, but his place is entirely lost, now. He's having difficulty parsing together how this guy got close enough to trip over him without him noticing the proximity. It's not like him to be that distracted. Bucky doesn't do much but close his book and watch the clearly inebriated guy pull himself back up again. He would have offered to help, but he was interrupted and isn't feeling particularly jealous.

Frowning at the guy, he raises an eyebrow. ]

Trip over many people?

[crowkiller]

[This isn't his finest work, but let's be honest; him on the ground is not a new for him. He sits on his knees in the sand. He is beside the other man as he brushes the sand off of himself, and then whatever he might have thrown onto the other.]

Only the gorgeous ones.

[w i n k.]

[reconstitution]

[ People don't normally hang around the scowly guy, and he brushes Zevran's hands away when the guy tries to remove the sand on him. It's sand, it'll brush off. Also don't touch strangers, dude. ]

...Uh-huh.

[ Oh my GOD don't wink!! It only serves to make him feel awkward. What is this? How flirt with people? File not found. ]

[crowkiller]

[He is use to scowling. It reminds him of Sten! This guy is certainly built like the Qunari. Maybe he is one. When his hands get brushed away he thinks for a moment that maybe he is being too forward............oh well. He never not that memo about not touching people he didn't know.]

No disagreement? Well, that's a step in the right direction then.

[He grins as he makes himself comfortable. Yeah he isn't leaving. The hand that was brushed away extends back to him.] My name is Zevran, what should I call you?

[reconstitution]

It wasn't an agreement. [ The reply is quick, and while he doesn't necessarily agree, he doesn't disagree? He knows he's not terrible to look at, but Natasha has a bias. Also, he absolutely doesn't like people touching him unless he knows them. At least he hasn't punched yet? ]

[ Bucky looks to Zevran's face, then his hand briefly before extending to shake his hand. Might as well, right? Yep. That's definitely a metal hand you're shaking. ] Barnes.

[crowkiller]

But you didn't tell me to leave either, Barnes.

[Zevran smiles as he repeats his name. His fingers curl around cool metal ones. How strange, he thinks for a moment. He wonders if this is just armor or if this man has another reason for it. Oh well, it would nothing to make him seem less attractive.]

How are you enjoying this new system?

[He plots himself down int he sand next to him now.]

sorry this is so late, i am A+ at tagging

[reconstitution]

I didn't. [ He takes his hand back after they're through, looking back to the waves. ]

Anything with a view like this is a good planet. The past few have been shit.

ME TOO npnpnp

[crowkiller]

Ah yes, the cannibals were not so pleasant.

[He stares at the waves as well. A smile starts to play across his lips.]

Almost as pretty as home. [He glances over to the other man.] Have you been in yet?
