+1 (more) Assassin

[sinistral]

Hello TRPeeps, I'm Cat and I'm bringing you yet another Bucky Barnes from the MCU. He was in Drift Fleet through its endgame, so he's well aware of this planet-hopping, double-existing, shenanigans-filled existence (and is predictably less than thrilled by it). He's spent about a year traveling the universe with another ex-Fleeter when he was pulled back because apparently that's his lot in life.

This particular Bucky is closer to the Winter Soldier than he is to Bucky Barnes, to the point that he won't go by the names James, Bucky or Barnes; he will in fact call himself nameless, or offer up Soldier if a designation is needed. Please feel free to give him shit about it.

I can be found on plurk at sometimesamuse for plotting or general shenanigans. Over the next day or so I'll figure out if he's getting a calibrations post of his own or not and am very open to plotting/ideas/pie. Always pie.

PIE!!!

I mean HI! Oh yes, I'm Aya, I play Cal Kestis from SW Jedi: Fallen Order, this guy here from Destiny 2, and just recently, Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 series.

All the Buckys. This won't be awkward at all. Should be fun! Look forward to playing with you. :D

[sinistral]

P I E!!!

Ahem. Yes. It's good to meet you and I'm looking forward to confusion and shenanigans both. If it makes things easier, this is the one who won't reply when someone shouts "Bucky!"

Hello Cat!

I'm Michalle and I play Cloud Strife from FF7 Advent Children Complete.

Winter Soldier will be neat to see around. More people to ask about the previous stuff if it ever comes up. Cloud has met Sansa and learned a bit from her already.

And welcome!

[sinistral]

Hi!

I do admit to having a soft spot in my heart for Cloud, it'll be fun to see him around. Certainly feel free to ask about previous goings-on (especially if Sansa is being evasive). Looking forward to it!

[backoff]

Aww! I kind of grew a voice for him after playing remake, but I've always been about his character development for a long while. I'll definitely do so when/if it comes around. Looking forward to interacting with Soldier!

[sinistral]

Ugh, I don't know when I'll actually get to play the remake but I've watched it (and told myself I don't have time to bring back either Sephiroth or Zack right now). I'm really happy with what they did with it tbh, it was a nice reimaging of everything. BUT YES! Looking forward to shenanigans.

[backoff]

I'll be going back to my hard mode tomorrow, I took a break due to work stress mostly. (When you have time you should consider one of them) Imagine the reactions to either of them. I can talk about the remake for hours because I loved everything about it.

Shenanigans is always welcomed and good!

[beholding_archivist]

Why, hello there~

I'm Zet and I play Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archives podcast. Who has so far briefly met the other two Buckies. He's bound to have questions.

[sinistral]

Hi!

I'll admit to being canon blind, but certainly anyone with questions is welcome to harass make polite inquiries. Honestly I'm looking forward to some measure of confusion and figuring things out, so this will be fun!

[beholding_archivist]

Well, podcasts are a beast of their own, but getting to know unfamiliar canons is part of the fun.

Small word of warning, tho~ Magnus is a horror podcast, so pretty much every interaction with Jon can lead to weird/creepy/triggery stuff. So if you want me to avoid certain things or specific types of body horror, just let my know. Jon has a permission post with some further things and... Yeah. He's a bit of a fear-devouring eldritch monster and not happy about it?

[sinistral]

It's been recommended to me several times and is on my list of "things to dive into after graduation" because what is time even.

Ah, thanks for the heads up! I'm not squicked out by much but I'll definitely give your post a drive by just to make sure. Communication, common sense, we're all adults here, etc., etc.

[in_extremis]

Hello! I am Bear and I have 616 Tony here, who is going to be very intrigued by a) Buckyyyyy (he is pre-Civil War and doesn't know his Bucky comes back) b) a third Buckyyyy (what does it mean what does it all mean) and c) Sansa's Buckyyyy (he's all she talks about)

Tony his good for morally ambiguous shenanigans under the guise of 'helping people' and important arm upkeep. Let me know the dumbest crap you want to get into and I will be there.

[sinistral]

Hahaha I've been lowkey stalking Tony and Sansa's interactions not even gonna lie (Cerie is the reason I'm here, she finally wore me down) so I am very excited by a) a Tony who doesn't know that Bucky killed (an incarnation of) his parents, b) do you even want to know what it means do you DO YOU and c) look platonic life partnership is a thing that can happen for weird (mostly) former assassins who don't consider themselves proper people.

I am all for morally dubious shenanigans and important arm upkeep. I am especially in support of dumb crap and getting into trouble because they can't not do the dumb crap things. I am admittedly still catching up on what's going on in the game in general right now but dumb crap is definitely a requirement.

[in_extremis]

Don't judge me too harshly, sometimes I can write competently and in English.
Does...does Bucky know he killed a Tony's parents?

Ask me anything about anything! I might not have an answer but I can sure make one up.

[sinistral]

Look English is totally a lying liar who lies. I before E except after C and oh wait there are all these other exceptions I'm going to spring on you JUST TO BE A DICK.

I have honestly played a little fast and loose with that fact, tbh, for the comfort of other players and the fact that it never directly came up in DF. He's from between TWS and CW so some of the memories are back but not all of the memories are back, which gives a little wiggle room in there.

OKAY BUT where does a super soldier go to get a drink around here because it seems like he's gonna need one.

[in_extremis]

ohohoh we'll see what happens then. It hasn't come up with either of the other two or Steve, it might be them you'll have to ask if they're comfortable with his murders

I can actually answer that one! It's not even a lie. The robot man Cayde is starting a bar and it's supposed to be the coolest place in town, next to the big hole in the ground and a light that sometimes flashes. The competition is stiff.

[sinistral]

C L E A R L Y the bevy of Buckys are going to have to have a meeting and I'm doing to have to dig through all my old DF stuff too because I'm pretty sure it never came up but I could be forgetting too, it's been a year. We'll just avoid mentioning it until then, I mean, what could possibly go wrong???

Flashy light hole in the ground bar sounds like the place to be. And also a place for stupid, bad decisions, which is even better!

[sinistral]

FYI in going back through old threads/plans, Buck was going to regain the memories about the Starks, among other bits and pieces, in a canon update that I never actually did because DF announced its endgame. I'm going to approach it as him not having regained the memory yet as that's the closest to what he was when DF ended and gives the most options in terms of regaining memories/potential canon update later on.

[in_extremis]

most excellent, a most fucked up Bucky

[theladyofwinterfell]

Welcome home, Soldier. Prepare for hugs and happy tears before Sansa calms down appropriately.

[sinistral]

Prepare for questions! Like, what is this baby? Why is this baby?

[theladyofwinterfell]

Oh Sansa is very proud of her baby, she will happily answer questions. I MADE HIM AND NAMED HIM FOR YOU DO YOU LIKE HIM

[sinistral]

HE'S SO SMALL

[theladyofwinterfell]

THEY START OUT THAT WAY

[sinistral]

LIES

[doubled_speed]

Oh no... Tommy needs a new scruffy nickname.

[sinistral]

I mean, "hey you" works...

[doubled_speed]

Nah. Tommy is a nickname fiend in this game. It was never intended, but it's a thing.

And he tends to call all Buckys some variation of scruffy.

[sinistral]

Everyone has their quirks! Which is always interesting to see how they develop.

Too bad Bucky wouldn't understand Scruff McGruff and the whole "say no to crime" thing...

[doubled_speed]

...

That could happen. That could SO happen.

[sinistral]

I mean, I live for hideous things!

[doubled_speed]

Tommy would insist the only hideous thing here is Bucky's attitude.

[sinistral]

And his haircut

[doubled_speed]

That's a given
