Who: Bucky!Cap Barnes
Broadcast: Private to Natasha Romanoff
Action: Bishop, planetside on Lyndia
When: Shortly after the last shuffle (for video & Bishop), anytime during their stopover in the Bix system
[Video: Private to Natasha Romanoff]
Hey, so when's a good time for a fight and a drink?
[Action: Bishop]
[Bucky's new on the Bishop, but it's not like he's never been here before. Anyone who's been here for a week or two might have seen him coming and going from Steve Rogers' room. In fact, now that he's on board, that appears to be where he's headed now, with an armful of clothes and a strange, circular red, white, and blue shield tucked under one arm.
Actually, since his hands are full, he very politely(?) kicks at the hatch to Steve's cabin once he gets there.
Later, he can be found walking the ship, familiarizing himself with the bridge, bathroom, and kitchen - where he's also digging for the coffee grounds and means to make it into actual coffee, because that's really important. Seriously. Coffee is magic.]
[Action: Planetside]
[Bucky also takes the opportunity to stretch his legs on Lyndia. In fact, he takes the opportunity to spend some time outside, because no matter how much the natives of this world warn him, it seems fine to him. Not even a sniffle. So he ends up earning some extra cash, running errands and ferrying supplies from the surface, including hacking away at vines, gutting old wooden buildings, and maybe even seeing if he can't track down said reptilian beast.
Bucky spends his significant earnings largely on food and clothing, because a) he wants to eat things that are not gel and b) he wants to wear things that are not jumpsuits. He is also willing to share the riches with friends, should they run into him.]

Can't guarantee I'll try it twice, though.
no subject
It's surprisingly good. You have the sweet from the pineapple, the spice and acid from the tomato sauce, and then you get some bacon or ham on there for the salt. If we get a chance, I'll make you try some.
no subject
But it doesn't sound bad. I'd try it.

It's, uh, 2014, where I'm from. But I was born in 1917. I took a plane down in 1945, only when I crashed, everything iced over, and I guess I was too stubborn to die - I mean. Mostly 'cause of some shit I got pumped full of, during the war. Kept me alive, just asleep. For about sixty-seven years, 'till somebody found the plane and realized I wasn't dead.
[It's a weird-ass story, and he tries to tell it with as little embellishment as possible.]
no subject
Basically a proof of concept for cryogenics, huh.
no subject
'Course, they tried to pull one over on me when I woke up, like I couldn't handle it. Probably not the smartest move.
[He waves his hand around a little, indicating their situation.] 'Least the Atroma are honest. I think.
no subject
What'd you do?
no subject
Yeah, it really is, [he murmurs.] For one thing, they don't make bras the same way anymore.
Honestly, I tried to get the hell out of there. Thought they might be the Nazis, actually, pretending I'd been recovered by friendlies. It... took a long time to convince me otherwise, even after I got outside. That was even more foreign, you know? Everything was even more off, but still just enough the same to make a guy feel like he's looking in a funhouse mirror.
It's better when everything's kinda... well, for lack of a better word, alien.
no subject
And I get that. It's weird when stuff is almost the same, but different in major ways.
no subject
[Bucky grins a little.] Look, you never know when that kinda thing is gonna come in handy.
But yeah - exactly. I mean, part of me doesn't want to get too comfortable with all this, either, right? People still disappear. Two of 'em left right off the Bishop, right before I transferred over.
no subject
People always disappear. No one is in your life forever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't appreciate the moments you have.
no subject
[His boyfriend now, he guesses; it makes his expression go fond.]
We're not gonna try to get out of here - not like we would if we didn't have a reason for staying.
But we both know we're not the ones holding that switch, either way.
Doesn't mean I have to like it, though.
no subject
Your best friend is here?
no subject
Yeah - [he sort of comes up short, looking sheepish.] Twice over, kinda. One... from my world. And one from some other universe where things happened differently.
It's - complicated, to say the least. [He blows out a breath.] It's weird, you know? One thing in your life changes... and everything just snowballs out from there. The one from the other universe... he's me. Just if something that happened to my best friend happened to his, instead. If that makes sense.
no subject
There's a version of my sister who's from another Earth. She's a version of Laurel... if I were dead and she went rogue. It doesn't get less weird to think about.
no subject
It is fuckin' weird.
D'you two manage to get along?
no subject
[ she says it soberly, but somehow also lightly ]
no subject
no subject
no subject
Only he didn't.
[Which - ] Shit. Not to say - sorry. That's a shitty thing to say, isn't it.
I just - I know what it's like. To lose your family.
no subject
no subject
That's what it feels like to me, anyway. I failed him, he died - and then he turns up not dead, decades later.
no subject
That's still real.
no subject
Bucky makes a sound that's somewhere between a sigh and a snort. No. It's not the same. He barely remembers who I am - or who he is. And I don't know if he wants to pick back up where we left off.
[He blows out a breath then, looking apologetic.] Sorry. Ain't your problem to fix.
