[ hua cheng is wondering what the fuck the bumper cars are, actually. his arms are crossed, tanhua leaning against his leg as they survey the scene before them.
now that bucky is no longer bunking today, his head tilts slightly towards him, but doesn't turn. ]
Feel like your efforts were successful? [ he was visiting orion so he didn't see the end result. ]
We'll find out. I saw that they were trying a few things on their side, before I left to speak with Orion, but luckily information seemed to be coming a little more freely than the last one.
[ they'll see how it goes! he does glance over at him after a beat. ]
Orion's not much of a party person, beneath the surface that all of the staff have built up. So it was quiet. Much needed after my explosive arrival, though.
[ hm, too bad. hc, clueless as to why; me, laughing about qr bait ]
Well, ideally repairs are in your future, since we're in the last week.
Kim Dokja was given no choice but to use a... light beam of some kind from a device he was given during the execution. It went out of his control and I was effectively obliterated.
It's fine, though. That was the fourth time that's happened to me.
[ his "exploding into x (2 nickels)" is not 100% accurate but still apt ]
Oh. That. I thought you meant you showing up in the dream suite with the staff and everybody else. ...you didn't explode anything there, did you?
[ bucky does not even react to that being the 4th time, because that sure does sound like comics bullshit, alright. sometimes you just keep dying in the same way. ]
At this point, just having a functional arm period would be an upgrade.
No, luckily not. Things have been fairly fine today and yesterday, save for, you know, the dying part. Used to that though.
[ :handshake: in weird fucking bullshit deaths and dying and antics. anything inspired by wuxia also has this in common with comics. ]
Afraid I can't do much for you without my powers. If we get them here at the end of everything, when we reunite with the living, Harrow and I together could likely do something to get you a flesh and bone one back if nothing else.
[ nods at the blase death attitude. i hate them. ]
Nah. I'm used to the metal now, and it's actually a big part of my fighting technique now. Plus, [ with a sly grin ] I can hide all sorts of weaponry in there.
Well it's not like I just have a store of arms and I choose every morning which one I'm going to use that day. I just use whatever I've got, with whatever perks it comes with, until I run it into the ground.

[ he shrugs. he might look a lil bruised, but he's in one piece. He's not wearing the arm right now, though. ]
Kind of hard to tell. The fight wasn't the point. I wasn't keeping that close an eye on the real matter at hand.
no subject
[ they'll see how it goes! he does glance over at him after a beat. ]
Where's your arm gone?
no subject
[ as for the arm, he pauses a moment, then shrugs with his one shoulder. ]
In the condition it's in, it's not worth wearing unless I need to.

[ our MARM!!!! ]
At this point, it'll probably have to be a full-on replacement.

Shame. Perhaps an upgrade, then.

Oh, that's fair enough. A metal arm is excellent defense and offense, already, but the surprise attack certainly lends... a kind of flair.
no subject
at least as far as this game goes, he can't be too mad at the guy. Bucky would've killed unpossessed too, if he'd survived long enough to do so. ]
And I've had a lot of different arm models--lots of different kinds of flair.
no subject
I can respect that. [ he taps on one of his silver bracers. silver vibes. ] Flair for different occasions, and different needs.

Then I get a new one with new perks.
