muse is getting antsy

[gymnastics]

Okay, mun. Listen.

It has been literal months since I've seen any action, and I get it, people get busy, and the newbies in that headspace of yours are pretty okay, but I'm bored. They're only good company to a point, and then I just want to start getting out, all right?

I don't blame you, and I'm not mad, just...

There's only so much a girl can do in that cramped little space you call your brain.

All I'm asking for is a chance to stretch my legs.

There's a saying. It goes something like, "be careful what you wish for."

[gymnastics]

Almost anything she could cook up right now would be better than sitting on my hands all day.

[kneecaptain]

It's your funeral.

[gymnastics]

She already sent me to one of those game...things a while ago. Can't get a whole lot worse than that.

[kneecaptain]

Maybe yours is one of the nice ones.

[gymnastics]

...I dunno. Her choice in game was fairly cruel, in my opinion. It could have been more unpleasant than she made it, but probably not much.

Nice is pretty relative when it comes to muns, it seems like.

[kneecaptain]

Nice is relative when it comes to everybody.

[gymnastics]

Fair enough.

[...except cap. shannon is still pretty convinced steve is forever the nicest person, hands down.]

[kneecaptain]

So what do you think? Are you nice?

[gymnastics]

I like to think I am. But some people might tell you otherwise.

[kneecaptain]

Okay. I'm not.

[gymnastics]

Matter of opinion.

[what, she thought he was pretty nice when she was working with him to do the whole "save cap and also the universe" thing. but she has read the avengers archives records on bucky.

there are some. pretty not-nice things to be found there.]

[kneecaptain]

I figure mine's gotta count double.

[gymnastics]

That's fair.

Two-to-one, in favor of "not-nice".

[so she's amused. just a little.]

[kneecaptain]

I'm not sure how many other people I wanna poll.

[gymnastics]

I guess that depends on the results you think you'd get.

[withnopowers]

That's what I keep saying. Ask me if they listen.

Oh, by the way: Bucky is totally nice.

[gymnastics]

I'm going to guess the answer's "no, they don't."

Thank you. Two-to-two.

[withnopowers]

Score one for Agent Carter. Um - Agent America?

[Grin!] Now we just need Eli and he's completely outvoted.

[kneecaptain]

It was one of those "man on the street" specials on the news two weeks ago.

So I figure I've got a good idea.

[gymnastics]

Heh, no, I'm no agent. Just go with Shannon.

Patriot? [whoa, even more blasts from the past!]

[gymnastics]

Ah, the "former soviet spy" bit.

"Can we trust him?" "What's he up to now?"

Am I close?

[withnopowers]

Will do.

Yeah. Bucky helped him through some tough stuff, once.

[gymnastics]

[that gets a little grin out of her, and she nods.] Yeah, he's definitely a better guy than he gives himself credit for.

[withnopowers]

Oh, completely. I guess that's part of what makes him a good guy, though.
