Voice testing. Homeless for a good long while I'm afraid.

I can see that subtlety isn't your strong suit, mundane. It's kinda tacky actually.

And didn't you say you're weren't gonna touch me with a ten foot poll until at least a year's gone by? You're a couple months too early. Or even a better idea, wait until the next movie comes out.

It's not the worst user name I've seen, Buck.

[Steve's really not sure how he should react. That movie announcement hadn't been easy for him and his mundane to deal with but the idea of Bucky being alive and eventually being able to come home...

And he's not sure after what happened, Bucky would want to see him again.]

Why was your mundane going to wait a few months?

[fallentowinter]

I guess it isn't completely bad but I was hoping for something a bit classier than that. Annd...gerbils, Steve?

[Bucky's just glad he's got a second chance at things. Even if he's pretty sure it's going to get even worse before it gets better.]

Something about too many people playing in the same playground and not wanting to step on anyone else's toes. The mundane's weird like that.

[He can't help grinning at the comment about the user name or at having Bucky around again.] I was Doctor Erskine's lab gerbil. It's better than some of the names I was called over the years.

You're not going to step on anyone's toes and there really isn't that man of - uh - you? - [No matter how much he tries to get used to that, it still sounds strange.] - around. At least, I haven't seen that many.

[fallentowinter]

[There's a returning smile on Bucky's face. Ha! Admit it, some of them were funny, and you know it!

I guess. There's like...a couple of you I think. A couple of Stark's kid. And even more of Natasha. Could be fun! Did you ever talk to yourself?

[like_a_gerbil]

Some of them were. [And they were better than getting beat up in alleys.]

You mean when I'm not sketching? [Pausing, the grin turns sheepish.] I have a couple times. Talked to a dame that was me in another reality, but usually Peggy talks to the Caps that show up.

I've seen three or four Natashas. Tonys seem to talk to me more. [He flushes slightly when he remembers his mundane's comments about Steve being 'catnip' for Tonys.] And not many of you.

Shortest ten foot pole I've ever seen. [ sup, soldier. welcome to the land of the frequently annoyed. ]

[fallentowinter]

According to mundane it's one of those stretch-as-you-like poles. [Sup. He'll just make himself comfortable then.

[widows]

Convenient. [ for them, like it always is. ]

[fallentowinter]

Pretty sure mundanes are all about convenience. To them. [There's no other way.]

hdu you use that icon with that tag. too mean.

[widows]

You catch on quick. That'll help.

[bucky_barnes]

[Points at username.] You wanna talk about a complete lack of originality? You could be stuck with my mun.

[fallentowinter]

That's just being direct. There's a certain charm in that. Mine is doing this oh-look-how-subtly-poetic-this-is and it's not quite working.
