[ well. here we are at the titty typhoon. it is time to unwind after that trial. Bucky is pouring himself a drink when he spots Rui and raises an eyebrow, holding up the bottle of vodka. Want some? ]

[becomingpotatoes]

[So many people encourage Rui to drink, haha. He shakes his head, not in the mood for trying to make a bit]

Sorry, no. Although, frankly, I'm beginning to understand the temptation of indulging in this.

[Is this the sort of day that makes others want to drink? He's sure it is]

[frostythehitman]

Yeah. If there was ever a time to drink, it'd be now.

[ puts the bottle down and drinks from his own glass ]

[becomingpotatoes]

I certainly witnessed plenty of people coming here just to pass the time. That I still don't get.

[All of you and your recreational drinking]

[frostythehitman]

[ shrugs ] Lots of reasons to drink. To loosen up, to be social, to numb yourself, to forget things...

[becomingpotatoes]

That started reasonable enough and took such a depressing turn.

[frostythehitman]

Yeah, that's usually how drinking goes.

[ gazing at the vantablack stall in a matching cape for some reason. he looks to be deep in thought. ]

[becomingpotatoes]

[Rui has arrived, and as usual, he's not subtle with his arrival because his immediate move is to tease]

Ah, here's Bucky in his natural habitat.

[Nice cape, dude, did you get it in this stall?]

[frostythehitman]

Is it?

[becomingpotatoes]

You look like you chose to wear all black to blend easily around here.

[frostythehitman]

...no. I mean, I typically wear black, but I'm not trying to blend in. Just looking at what's on offer.

[becomingpotatoes]

Alright, let's take a look...

[Everything is so black and drab around here, thinks Rui. Where's the color? This is kind of an eyesore]

Is anything actually catching your eye around here?

[frostythehitman]

[ grunts ]

I keep getting distracted by the not-gun bananas.

w3, monday

[ it's another wonderful day we're having here on reality tv when a trapdoor opens up and drops the both of them into a memory jet. ]

[becomingpotatoes]

[It feels odd to see Bucky as a teenager. What's up with the mask and the sidekick costume? And the actual superhero costume someone else is wearing. This is so out of a superhero story, he thinks, but...it's real, and the guy he has known for a month is part of it.

Or was]

...question. How long had you been part of this...team by this point?

[There's tension in the scene, he can tell. Resentment. Maybe Bucky was new? Hadn't gotten time to prove himself? And apparently still didn't prove himself, that didn't go well]

[frostythehitman]

[ haha surprise! the grumpy grandpa used to run around in hotpants and bright red tights. we all get up to wild things in our youths, don't we? ]

With Captain America? About a year. With the others? A few months.

[becomingpotatoes]

You're being treated very rudely, even though you're the upperclassman here.

[What happened to the respect to the senpai...this is not right...]

[frostythehitman]

[ laughs ]

Namor's an asshole, but he wasn't wrong then. At the time I was just some punk-ass kid in tights. When you don't have superpowers like everyone else, you have to make up for it with skill and good judgement. I had the skill, but I didn't have the judgement yet.

[ arguably, he still doesn't and has never had good judgement. but let's be nice and give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to combat specifically. ]

[becomingpotatoes]

Were you able to show them you could have the good judgment needed for times like these?

[Maybe yes, since you didn't die mobbed by a mook crowd before this moment here and now, perhaps?]

[becomingpotatoes]

[Woah! A twink has appeared! Probably at the mental health place]

Ah, are you still deathly afraid of me?

[frostythehitman]

[ groansighs. ] No. Thankfully. [ downs an emotional support jello cup ]

[becomingpotatoes]

Ah, so it was a curse. And here I thought you were having flashbacks to that day I bested you at fighting, in front of everyone.

[As if]

[frostythehitman]

[ huffs a sarcastic laugh ]

Oh yeah, you really clobbered me, all right.

[becomingpotatoes]

What's this place for, anyway? I had come here before but it seems pointless.

[Surely it's not just for the jellos, is it...]
