Its been about four weeks. Though I guess I should say Earth weeks. Twenty-seven days since we started turning up. Two since it started happening again.

[Which begs the question, when does it stop? Seventy-two beds on this area of the station. Are they planning to keep going after that?]

Viveca is the name of the AI that spoke to us all then. Some of you may have spoken to her already. She went missing though, a couple of days after we arrived. There was a power cut, she said something about an emergency mode, and then she was gone.

We got a delivery right before that though. Clothes, toiletries, books, food. A bunch of stuff showed up and got split out.

That was when there were twenty-seven of us. Looks like we've about doubled since then. So if you new folks needs something, ask. There's probably someone here who can help.

Speaking of, we're stuck relying on those drops to get fresh food. So don't hog it. There's kids here who need it too.

A guy I know. He cooks up huge batches of food at a time. If you're hungry, check the fridge. Nine times out of ten, he's left something in there you can have.

[And if not, giving Sam a look will probably be more than enough to get him to make something new.]

You've also all probably noticed that you can't get in to the Northern Wing. Its been like that since we first got here, and we've got no idea what's on the other side. It's classified, apparently. Messing with whatever's on the other side would affect us all, so I wouldn't suggest trying to break through.

Don't know about you guys, but I don't plan on getting tossed out an airlock if I can help it.

[And that's it. No sign off. No goodbye. No anything. Sorry?]

[ooc: Feel free to threadjack as much as you like! Bucky's using this post as an information exchange.]

They may know how to avenge and save, but they sure don't know how to clean up after themselves. Gotta make the aftermath someone else's problem.

You told Sam you're from 2018.

If you want to talk, I'll be in the Sunlight room. Otherwise, we ain't doing this here.

[On open comms, that is.]

[ does erik want to take up that offer? he's not sure. he's raring for a fight, but it's too early for one. and he knows bucky has some kind of connection to wakanda.

he clenches his ring. what's the point of being this cautious? what could anyone do to him that hasn't been done? he's already ablaze. ]

Talk about what?

Whatever hangups you've got with the Avengers. Or me.

[ a low snort. ]

my beef ain't personal. just because you fight aliens doesn't mean you lot ever stick around long enough to rebuild. But hey, that's why you're the Avengers right?

Not exactly part of the job.

I'm not an Avenger. But they do what they can. And the way I see it, if they weren't there, things would be a hundred times worse.

Not saying they're perfect, and that they haven't made mistakes. But they've done the best with what they've got.

[ geez. how sad do you have to be to believe that spiel. but then erik supposes the winter soldier's lot is a sad one. like he said, his problems aren't personal. but the avengers do have faults and erik is never one to look away.

he's never been that blind and he refuses to start now. ]

you should throw them a party with your non-existent cooking skills.

You really must hate them if you want them subjected to 40's cooking.

The avengers blew up two african cities and I'm a black man in america.

I think I'm allowed a healthy dose of skepticism.

[He can't really say much about Johannesburg. All he knows about it is what was on the news. However-]

Lagos wasn't on then. If they hadn't been there, even more people would've died.

[...so much for keeping this off the network.]

Maybe.

But then they should have stayed and helped. There's more to life than battles and avenging. If you're gonna play hero, play it all the way. Don't half-ass it with fancy battles.

They made mistakes. And nothing they do now is going to undo that.

But things have changed since then. If Cap reforms the Avengers, they'll make a difference where it counts.

[ hm. going on a limb, erik's guessing that's not steve. ]

Seeing is believing and all that.

I'd say you've got a while to wait, seeing as you're from 2018. But as long as he's here, he ain't gonna sit back and do nothing.

You'll see what he's capable of soon enough.
