Video/Action- First Pirate Transmission

Who: Panem!Bucky
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Bridge of the Wonderduck
When: Now

[The video opens with a view of Bucky's face, hair short, face scruffy and a steel determination in his expression as though challenging the very fleet to suddenly do something and prove all his paranoid assumptions correct.]

The last time I was on a show for other's entertainment, we were made to fight and kill each other until only one person was left. Supposedly that's not the case here. Yet.

I assume some of you have been making attempts to learn more about this place and the people behind it.

[A pause. 'What do you know' was on the tip of his tongue, but he was the offworlder now. He didn't hold a single damn card in his hand he knew it too well. He hated it. He'd have to change that.]

What do we know?

[Anyone on the ship itself for any reason will find Bucky at the comms station, waiting for responses and seeing exactly how far the system would allow him to hack until the firewalls caught him. Sometimes you had to test the strength of the bars when you were in a cage.]

Comments

[He went to look through the bag Winter indicated and inspected everything in it, testing the weight of the knives, how sharp the edges seemed, how they felt in his hands. The gun got a similar appraisal and he was pleased to see some things were universal, this gun didn't seem to load or work any differently than the ones he was used to using. He also inspected the bullets, though mostly to see what kind they were and if they were made of traditional stuff. No hollow-points or exploding caps which was both good and bad. Easy and efficient, there was something to that for sure.]

It's more than enough. I've had to improvise more than once. Used a snake t kill a guy once.
[He says it distractedly, far more comfortable talking to this version than he ought to be, and instantly regrets the comment. Kid. He'd killed a kid with a snake. Fourteen, only three years younger than him at the time. District 7. Darnell. He should be twenty-three now.

He bit the inside of his bottom lip as he put everything back and slung the bag over his shoulder. As he faced Winter, he tried for a smile.]

Thanks. I'll bring the bag back once I'm more settled. I appreciate that you were willing to help.

[ He wants to unpack that comment, but it's probably better left unsaid until they're more comfortable with one another. There's something to be said about not mentioning shit until later on. Walls are still up, and it's difficult to know where they stand with one another.

Winter shrugs a shoulder. ] Not concerned about it, keep it if it's useful to you. They're easy enough to come by. I know what it's like first getting here with nothing. Whatever helps put you at ease- I've been collecting for a while, so I won't miss them.

[hollowvictor]

[Bucky nods, he's not going to turn down a useful tool if it's offered. Already everything in him was screaming he needed to collect and preserve everything. This was an arena, a mission with everything at stake, nothing new. He needed to keep that in mind no matter how many friendly faces there might be.]

Alright. [He paused.] It might not mean much to you, but if you need me for anything, just call. I don't know what that might be, but just in case. [He couldn't help the offer. Their walls were both still firmly in place and likely would be for some time, and there likely wasn't a whole lot Bucky could offer Winter that he couldn't get from someone else...but it's what instinct demanded. Offering help, a possibility of working on something, it was the only other comfort he had right now besides the weapon in hand.]
