[open] old familiar places
WHO: Bucky Barnes + Open
WHEN: January
WHAT: Re-Arrival
WHERE: Streets and then the inn
WARNINGS: TBD
Bucky has seen a lot of shit in his time and when he'd come to Gazin the first time, he'd gone to the inn and cased the place as best he could. Now, returning, he knows a little more than most. He still doesn't understand why he keeps getting chosen to come here. Is there some hole in the universe, some tear he keeps stumbling into across the street from the fruit stand? Is he here because he needs to hide from the world and Wakanda isn't a good enough place? He has no idea why this place keeps calling to him, keeps drawing him in. He has no idea why it seems to want him to return for a second time.
He pats himself down and realizes this time it's at least given him knives to work with. No guns, but he's not shocked. This is a place of horses and blacksmiths and guns are hundreds of years into the future. He's used to being the throwback but in Gazin, he's from the future. He feels like some kind of exhibition at the Stark Expo or some shit and that's so long ago it's a distant, distant memory. It's one only recently returned to him, too, and he smiles at what his idea of the future had been back then. Little did he know.
Just as before, he makes his way along the main road and toward the inn. This is the center of this little town and the place to get the most information. He knows a little more than last time about the layout but he doesn't know which people are still here, which have changed, and which are new like he'd been the last time he came into town. He still takes a table that's a little shadowed so he can watch rather than be seen but at least he knows what he's about this time.

Oh. She knows that quote! Thanks to her time in the City. She huffs a soft laugh at it, torn between giving him a hug and not wanting to make him uncomfortable. It’s enough that he’s HERE, that he knows her. “Yes I do,” she retorts, teasing. “And I am very glad to see you.”
no subject
"You been doing all right since I was here last time?" he asks, wanting to know just how much things have changed since he left and come back. He doesn't know how time passes, exactly, and wants to get a gauge for it. How better to do that than to talk to someone he knows?
no subject
“All right enough,” she replies. She always is. Even when she isn’t. “There was an odd... occurrence a few months ago. But other than that, it’s been pretty much the same.”
no subject
Bucky's life has become a series of odd occurrences, considering the crowd he runs with and the fact that Earth has become a hotbed for other civilizations to just invade. Still, he doesn't know what odd in Gazin would count as and he's eager to hear Cassandra's answer. Is it something he or Steve could have helped?
