JAMES (BUCKY) BARNES

Hey, this is James. Text me if you need me. Or leave me a message if you want, but I'm probably not going to listen to it because, seriously, this is 2017 and no one uses voicemail any more.

yeah 'midnight blue' maybe
i didn't even notice tbh
i thought your hair was black this whole time

[digthefuzz]

[More vibes, please.]

nah only in certain lighting or when the dye wears off
but now it's for real, true blue baby!
or should i say, wild blue!

[frostythehitman]

wait like
blue raspberry blue?
when did that happen

[digthefuzz]

well like a dark blue
but not midnight!
and it happened, like, a while ago

[frostythehitman]

i'm having trouble buying that your whole superhero name is based off your hair color when i didn't even notice it changing
also

[A text comes to you in the late afternoon of February 3rd. The sender's name has been encrypted and errors out and there are no signs of who the message belongs to. Clicking on the profile of this Retrospec user brings up a picture of the Retrospec symbol.]

How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts.

You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is John Egbert. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at the edge of the woods and we'll go from there.

You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?

[No other messages will be sent from this account at this time.]

[ooc: Hello! You've been sorted into group 3. Your event log will go up at 9pm EST along with all of the other logs. We encourage you to read the main event log as well for more information about your recruiter and this note. In the meantime, head over to this thread on the latest mod post to meet your teammates. Thank you!]

[digthefuzz]

it might look blacker when my image inducer's on? i dunno
hey no way!
i've read some comics and teenagers use boy a lot
so that's gotta be it!
i'm a hip teen in all lifetimes
(until i turn 20 i guess)

1/2

[frostythehitman]

kurt i'm gonna level with you
i worked with plenty of teen heroes
and NONE of us called ourselves 'boy'

[frostythehitman]

[ it takes him another few moments before he catches kurt's implication-- ]

wait
are you saying you're using that image inducer thing EVERY TIME i see you?

[digthefuzz]

maybe you're just not remembering them all!
and uh yeah kinda
it has one setting that looks just like a normal version of me
so it's easy for hiding my pointy ears and tails and stuff
pretty convenient if i do say so!

[sup!! baren harassed the npc for listings of where everyone in the event is assigned to group-wise and where they're going. so that means group 3 is being assaulted with unwanted texts for reasons that will become clear almost immediately.

however in exchange, he does attach the aforementioned helpful list to the text before he sends his actual message.]

hey
remember how we agreed that our sisters are better than literally anything else on this planet

i have a cousin
her name's mimori togo
she's also pretty much the best thing in the world
look out for her?
not for me
but because she doesn't deserve any bad shit they might throw at her

[ooc: if you need to drop this thread/ignore this text due to event workload, i totally understand and feel free!]

[frostythehitman]

[ He hates that Baren is tugging on his heartstrings like this, and hates that he's being sO BLATANT ABOUT IT

But he'd be lying if he said it wasn't working. God dammit. ]

okay fine
i'll keep an eye out
but did you seriously have to text every single person in our group with this

[frostythehitman]

wait
since when did you have pointy ears

[ HOW??? HAS HE MISSED THIS MUCH INFORMATION, KURT???? oh my god

or at least i think he did, i can't remember him ever finding out about this before jfie;ahg ]

[digthefuzz]

[I can't remember for sure!! It might have come up during the con fight?]

since, like, around the time of the con
but i used to just hide them beneath my hair
it's cool tho, the image inducer takes care of everything

[crudest]

[HE'LL PULL OUT EVERY STOP FOR MIMI]

not every single person in your group
just the ones i know

[or spoke with

even once]

[frostythehitman]

[ James had never considered that image inducer as something that could maintain an image, rather than being used for a disguise.

He can't help but think that if he wore it, he could probably make it look like he still has his left arm. ]

that's a hell of a convenient gift retrospec gave you

[frostythehitman]

so
everyone
apparently
because our phones are getting lit up over here thanks to you

[crudest]

it was admittedly more than i expected
i need to get out less

[digthefuzz]

dude tell me about it!
once i figured out how to work it, i was totes in business!
i still can't believe it even lets me disguise as me!

guess the other me had to look 'normal' too

[frostythehitman]

yeah
you really do
i see your face in public WAY too much as it is

[frostythehitman]

if past you had to look normal you wouldn't have the dorito suit

[digthefuzz]

hey now you never know!
it might be fashion

[crudest]

<font face="courier'>don't worry after this i fully plan on going into hiding becoming an enigma a creature of modern myth</font>

[frostythehitman]

here's hoping

[frostythehitman]

well
is it?
