How the futz is anyone supposed to make a living in this place??

[godwins]

First, you got to fabricate some references.

[quivers]

You mean LIE?

[godwins]

I'd call it a "thinking upward"

Shows that you're committed to the job.

[quivers]

Uh huh, sure.

Is that what you did?

[godwins]

It's how I made money back in the Depression

[nanamari]

Still awake, soldier?

[ Some people have gone back to sleep in the pods, and it's a little more difficult to keep track of people in the city. Call her paranoid. ]

[quivers]

Anddddd you're gonna use that same strategy here?

[godwins]

No, I just enlisted. Seemed simpler.

[godwins]

Yes ma'am. I've been pinching myself regularly, just to keep sure.

[quivers]

What you too?? That's apparently been everyone's go to.

I guess it makes sense, being soldier boy and all but

[ Alas, later Bucky would understand. ]

Never think of the vigilante life?

[godwins]

How do you mean?

[ He's sort of unfamiliar with the concept. Explain, Kate. ]

[quivers]

What, vigilantes? You know - superheroes?

[ Actually, come to think of it, what were superheroes pre-Cap? ]

[godwins]

Tourists?

[nanamari]

Keep up the good work.

How are you doing?

[quivers]

??

People who dress up in costume and save the world?
No? Too soon?

[godwins]

That's what they call the people who wear costumes with no powers.
Tourists

[godwins]

[ He's lonely, what with everyone he really knows missing or changed somehow, but like hell is he going to admit to that. ]

Just swell, ma'am. And yourself?

[nanamari]

Bored out of my skull. Do you want to come by and keep an old woman company for a while? I'll make you something to eat.

[godwins]

Sure. I'm not picky.

What time were you thinking?

[ He'd lived on Army food, after all. ]

[nanamari]

You can come by now if you like. I'm in House #6.

[godwins]

Roger.

[quivers]

What?

I'm no tourist, sir.

[godwins]

And I'm no sir

It isn't my word. I heard it from the Liberty Legion.

[quivers]

You picked up a word from somewhere with a title as tacky as Liberty Legion?

[godwins]

Nothing wrong with the Liberty Legion. Miss America? The Patriot? You ever heard of them?

I'll give you the Whizzer, though, that guy needed to work on the callsign.

[ Ed's Note: the 21st century reprise was named the Liberteens, which is probably worse. ]

[quivers]

Those names were really part of that Legion thing?
Damn, I need to get back on the books with my supe history.

But yes, actually.

Miss America happens to be my bff.
Patriot? Just that ex we don't talk about.

[godwins]

Absolutely. I put the team together, I would know. Handled mostly fifth-column bozos during the war.

I don't know what bff means

dec 24 / secret santa delivery!!

[punshots]

[ Prompto may not be familiar with Christmas, but he is with giving gifts and as Bucky is a friend, he does not want to let him down! So left on his doorstep, Bucky will find a package on Christmas Eve containing several items.

The first is...a choice sweater. It's hideous and totally decked out and snug as hell and Prompto loves it so much he bought one for himself, too. Along with the sweater there is a dozen fresh cookies (from a nearby bakery, because gods forbid Prompto bake) and a several cups of instant noodles, which is about the only food he knows how to make. Finally, there's a pretty sweet swiss army knife with a card wishing Bucky a Happy Christmas and encouraging him to not cut himself accidentally.

Enjoy, dude. ]

gift;

[nanamari]

[ Ana leaves a gift-wrapped box on his doorstep. Inside, he'll find a thermal layer for underneath his uniform, a santa hat, a tin filled with homemade cookies, and a couple of pulpy adventure novels from Wyver. ]

action | christmas

[poolhall_killer]

[At some point during the holiday, Bucky will receive a wrapped box containing a large scarf and a pair of socks. There's a note attached to it:]

I hope this serves you well in the coming months. Have a good holiday. - V

So, I know I haven't checked in on you since the memory thing, sorry about that. I've been sort of settling in.
But I'm having a birthday party next week and I'd like you to come, if you're not busy?

It's just a casual thing, no one has to do cake or presents or anything. It's just food and drinks and some people I happen to like.

[godwins]

Roger that. Last time I went to a birthday with cake it turned out crummy.

How old are you turning?

[krasnaya_vdova]

Yeah, I have some bad history with birthdays, so I'm trying to keep it low key.

Twenty on the 21st. So I'm putting something together for Friday night.

[godwins]

Well, here's hoping your twenty turns out better than mine.

Consider me RSVPed.

[krasnaya_vdova]

Let's hope considering I think you were in the middle of a war. Though with a line like that, sounds like you need a better birthday yourself.

Glad to hear it. It should be fun. :)

[godwins]

I'm twenty now, is what I mean.

[ He'd had his birthday a few weeks before waking up in one of those pods. ]
