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.

"Cold and outside" could be a lot of things.

Do you remember anything about whoever was with you?

[constellates]

there were footprints in the snow
bigger than mine
that is all

[frostythehitman]

Footprints in the snow, huh? That's vague enough that I think even I remember something like that.

I don't know what to tell you, you're going to have to remember some more before you can know for sure. But shooting might help--I definitely got a bunch of memories out of doing it.

[constellates]

you got a bunch ?
more military ?

[frostythehitman]

I think so. I remember enough about this gun that I could put it together in my sleep. I did some googling and turns out it's an old German police gun from the WW2 era.

[constellates]

!! german ?
ww2 ?
so it is like the comics you got ?

[frostythehitman]

No way, not even a little. Those are dumb and goofy, nothing like what WW2 was actually like.

[ Which is mostly assumption, he doesn't really remember enough of the war to know much about it firsthand, but he knows enough history to know it didn't involve anything as silly as a guy wearing a sweater with "IZAN" written on it in huge letters. ]

[constellates]

did the other james just like guns a lot ?
it is a funny
i do not know the exact word
something that you did not expect to happen but is very close
???
parallel ?

["coincidence" is what she's looking for]

[frostythehitman]

Is that what we're going with now? "Other" versions of ourselves?

No, I think he actually was in WW2. I remember keeping watch for Nazis in a forest. I think the comics are just some bad joke they wanted to prank me with somehow.

I don't know what word you're looking for, though. Deja vu, maybe? Coincidence?

[constellates]

i do not know how to say it
others use words like reincarnation
alternate universe
but i do not know what is true
so other is easier ?

i do not know if bad joke is right
but maybe it would be easier ?

and google says coincidence
i think that is more right

[frostythehitman]

I like "other" too. The other words sound like some mystical fantasy novel junk when we have no idea what this really is.

The comics have to be a bad joke. Nowhere in the history books or documentaries does it say anything about WW2 being funny book material. I'm still not convinced Retrospec didn't make those in the first place, anyway.

[gnasher]

guess i'll show up.

[gnasher]

if your album sucks, though, i'm gonna tell you to work harder and faster.

[frostythehitman]

Harder and faster is all my music is already.

[gnasher]

"all"? i don't believe that.

[frostythehitman]

Well obviously it's also got substance and depth to the lyrics.

But the music, the sound? That's "harder and faster" all the way.

[constellates]

would not be unhappy if it was a fantasy novel
sounds fun !
but other might be safer to say
the other james
bucky ?

do you think retrospec would make those for you ?
why

[frostythehitman]

Other Bucky works, if we really are going to go with "other" versions of ourselves.

I don't know if they would, but I can't figure out why they'd exist otherwise. There's no record of these books or this publishing company ever existing, so what else could it be?

[complementing]

look, it's coming along so well! Kiyomitsu-kun is amazing

Attached Image

I can't tell because the original picture doesn't show her legs but Kiyomitsu-kun thinks there might be an opening in the front that exposes my legs and I might need some red tights???

can I look through yours and borrow a pair?

[frostythehitman]

[ what is this, whAT IS HAPPENING TO HIM RIGHT NOW ]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, or who this number is. You've got the wrong guy.

But if you really need a pair of red tights, I do have one.

[complementing]

...oh my god I'm really sorry

um thanks for the offer but I'm gonna check with my friend

she probably has tights that actually fit me

I um

don't know if I could fit into anything of yours

[Or would want to???? Wearing some teenage boy's tights would be really weird????]

[frostythehitman]

Okay.

But my offer stands in case your friend doesn't have anything. Mine spandex, they're one size fits all. And I also just got them mailed to me the other day, I haven't worn them yet. I didn't even want them, so really you'd be doing me a favor.

[complementing]

spandex tights from Retrospec???

will the weirdness never cease

[frostythehitman]

[ ...well then. He had a hunch that this person was also on Retrospec, but he didn't want to make any assumptions.

At least now he knows for sure. ]

It's part of a whole outfit. I'm wearing the rest of it, but the red tights are stupid and I am not putting them on. So if you need to borrow them for some outfit or whatever, it's no skin off my nose. I basically got 'em for free.

[complementing]

[This text comes a few hours later. She can't believe she's doing this.]

so...

I asked my friend

several friends in fact

and they didn't have the right shade of red tights

could send me a picture to see if yours are okay?
