Who: Bucky!Cap Barnes
Action: Throughout the Marsiva holding area
When: Feb 15-17-ish
[Bucky is new. He's new, and confused, and he figures the best way to get answers is to go find them. For better or worse, there's not a whole lot of space in which to find them, since he's limited to the same holding area as the rest of the passengers, but on the plus side, given that everyone else is confined to the same area, he's more likely to run into said passengers. When he spots someone who looks like they might be amenable to talking, he's very likely to approach.
For the most part, the faces are not familiar; he wanders the living area and the kitchen (where he's likely to stop and get some coffee, thank God that seems to exist here). He pokes his head into the bathroom and gym, too, and of course actually makes use of the former to take a shower on a regular basis. The gym he doesn't so much use as inspect and note; he's still too wary of where he is for anything resembling recreation, and thanks to the serum, he doesn't actually need to do much in the way of regular training to keep himself up. Maybe later.
Mostly, what will strike people is the fact that his face looks like the Bucky Barnes already on board, if you've managed to get a good look at that, but his hair is cropped short and his face is clean-shaven and his left arm is definitely not metal. All he's got to wear is the dark blue STRIKE uniform (sans helmet and shield) that looks - to some people, probably - like it should belong on Steve Rogers instead.]

And the mass kidnapping thing isn't that bad, besides the "being-held-against-our-wills" thing. At least the company's nice.
no subject
[Bucky snorts a small laugh.] I dunno. Seems like more of a recent thing to me. [He doesn't exactly consider the Howling Commandos a superhero team, but he also can't deny that Steve wasn't kind of a superhero.] Not everyone's gotta be super to do something about a problem.
[He cocks a half-smile.] Seems okay, so far. Honestly, everyone seems to be getting along, which is impressive. [If not possibly deceptive.] Unless they screen for that kinda thing.
no subject
And I don't think there's any screening... I think most people are just tired. Probably not any better...
[ she sips from her cup ]
no subject
[He frowns, though.] I know what that's like. When you've been stuck someplace long enough that you don't think it's worth getting out.
I'm guessing that's what they'd be counting on. Too bad I'm fresh-faced and bushy-tailed.
no subject
But hey, if you come up with a plan, I'll back you up.
no subject
Just the kidnapping vibe? [he asks wryly, but it's more to poke fun at their situation than anything, because sometimes that's just what you've gotta do.]
I'll keep that in mind, though - I mean. I appreciate it.
[He does frown a little, though, because,] I'm guessing some people might not, though. There've got to be people who'd rather be here.

[He doesn't like to, but he can.
He sighs.] What's it like when everyone's not all crammed on top of each other?
no subject
Periodically we anchor at a planet, help them out for awhile, and then move on.
no subject
A lotta places need help we can give, then?

no subject
[What are their lives, really.]
Although I guess it might be nice not to be all holed up in one place. I can really see that going badly after too long.
no subject
And cabin fever is real.
no subject
You think it's for something else?
no subject
And I don't know. Maybe it's not 'for' anything, besides personal entertainment. Maybe it's for energy or amassing some sort of army. I haven't figured it out yet.
no subject
[Bucky chuckles a little, despite himself.] That might be as good an indication as any.
[But then he blows out an unhappy breath.] I don't like kidnappers in the first place. Kidnappers that lie about their intentions, I like even lower on that list, and it was already a low bar.
I'm guessing there's a good chance they monitor our phones - or whatever they're called?
no subject
The kidnappers are shitty but the company isn't so bad, at least.
no subject
Guess that's more descriptive for these things than phones, [he murmurs. After all, a phone is something you call people with, not something you surf the web with and play games on. (He's old-fashioned, okay.)
He cocks a half-grin.] That does seem to be true, at least. Haven't met any bad company, yet, and the present company seems pretty decent. [He raises his coffee mug to her.]
