on revisions and things

[deadandred]

So you finally finished, huh? Took ya long enough. Yeah, yeah, I know, not much compared to seventy years, but? I'd like to see Steve sooner, rather than later.

Now it looks like all we gotta do is wait. Never really was much good at that, and I can see you aren't either, but it's what we're stuck with. So just be patient.

Comments

[strictmachine]

Patient, huh? I'll believe it when I see it.

[runbeforeyouwalk]

Personally, I could have waited a little longer. Another seventy years, say...

[deadandred]

Hey, I said I wasn't much good at it.

[deadandred]

Yeah, really looking forward to seein' you too, sweetheart.

[liveanotherday]

I suppose I should encourage this one to stop balking and send me after you already. At this point, it's just ridiculous.

[strictmachine]

That's why I'm timing it, see? I'm giving you twelve hours before you're ready to crack skulls together.

[runbeforeyouwalk]

Oh, I know. Everyone does. [ SARCASM? WHAT SARCASM? ]

[deadandred]

That long? You got a lotta faith in me.

[thespidergirl]

[ pokes his arm ] Coooool, is this real?

[deadandred]

So do you let 'em down quick or let them dangle? 'Cause I'm not all that impressed, yet.

[deadandred]

If you don't, I will. Or I'll make sure this gal will.

[strictmachine]

Well, a few people have to, right?

[deadandred]

[--Yeah, he's gotten used to people doing that, so it barely gets a pause.]

It is, yeah.

[withoutaworld]

[ Facepalm. ] Anya, you can't just ask people things like that!

[thespidergirl]

Why not? He's got a metal arm, how can people not ask?

[thespidergirl]

That's awesome. Where'd you get it? Does it have any special properties? Who are you, anyway?

[deadandred]

[A lopsided grin.] Guess so, though it's a bit silly of 'em.

[liveanotherday]

It'll happen. I won't say I don't believe Rogers and Stark can't handle the situation... eventually, but I would like to see it done with a minimum of collateral damage. They don't have the greatest track record on that front. [ Especially Stark. Any version of him. Her. Whatever. :| ]

[strictmachine]

[ she slaps his shoulder fondly. ] Don't sell yourself short, pal. It's not like I trust just anyone, you know?

[deadandred]

[A beat, while he considers this.] Yeah, they're not exactly subtle. I'll keep an eye on 'em if I can, if I get there.

[Though whether he means keep an eye on them as potential enemies or potential allies is -- up for debate, right now.]

[runbeforeyouwalk]

Really? That's funny, because I seem to remember an argument with your sister about whether you were allowed to flirt with me. You must've been at least a little impressed...

[deadandred]

Russia, and yeah, it does.

I'm -- Bucky Barnes. Who're you, kid?

[withoutaworld]

Because it's, you know, personal? And maybe kind of traumatic?

[deadandred]

True enough, but I'm not -- exactly gonna be the most trustworthy of guys when I get there, if this gal has her way.

[deadandred]

I prefer redheads, doll, sorry. [Not that he wouldn't, eventually, but still.]
