[open And we keep waiting to be seen, right?
who: Illya Kuryakin & you
what: just a general catch-all
when: End of April and beginning of May
where: around the city shopping, gym
warnings: will add if needed
1; around
Illya doesn’t get out much.
It’s not being in a strange place, in a strange world full of strange people with futuristic technology. Or… rather, even though he has to admit that’s kind of getting under the skin, it’s not just that. He’s just used to keeping to himself, to doing things on his own and only relying on his boss to give him his orders and trust Illya will know what to do.
In here it’s different. In here he doesn’t have to hide, doesn’t have to keep in the shadows and become a shadow himself. In here he can get out and try to be a normal person. Or at least do his best to look like one, since the most people know about him is a fake name and his claims that he was a rowboat champion before he ended up in this place.
So there’s probably something… calming, in just doing normal things. Grocery shopping, checking out nearby libraries, just stopping at a park and watching the animals go by. It may seem boring to most people, but to Illya is kind of refreshing to be able to do all of this without a weight on his shoulders. He figures it will get boring eventually, but for now he enjoys his newfound freedom.
Enjoying it so much he doesn’t even notice the orange firefly circling him.
2; gym
It does get boring eventually, even with all the shenanigans going around.
Illya is used to physical exertion, to being active and working out as much as he can, as much as he’s healthy. Back home he needed his body to be in peak condition, to be able to fulfill every mission as fast as efficiently as possible. Most of them ended up with him running away or towards something, after all. But in here his job, while more interesting than what he had assumed when it had been assigned to him, doesn’t require much more than a inquisitive mind and knowing where to look, what questions to ask.
He really misses the exertion. So after asking around and getting some advice he’s finally decided to join a nearby gym.
He can be seen running himself ragged on the treadmill, doing weights or basically using every single machine he can find his hands on. Yay technology. Obviously not all on the same day, he’s stubborn but not suicidal… but someone should probably tell him to slow down.

[Illya actually scoffs, looking at the front. Look, he… actually doesn’t mind being in the future temporarily. He’s enjoying all the technology around: he’s always needed to stay up to date with the latest technology developments because of his job, and it eventually became kind of a hobby.
But he definitely not enjoying the way people look at him when they realize he’s from the past.]
What’s your friend’s name? Maybe I know him.
no subject
Steve Rogers. There are two, long story, mine's the older one.
no subject
Captain America? [He asks with a raised eyebrow.] Tony Stark told me a little bit about him.
no subject
He's just Steve, at the moment. Which Tony, though, drunk or sober? The sober one's from my timeline, too.
no subject
But drunk, I guess. Very drunk. He still... [He hesitates for a second, but decides to get over it. Whoever this Tony person is, he's obviously a big deal in some way or another. Illya never stood a chance.] He won me at chess.
Kept calling me Russian Steve.
no subject
Yeah, that... sounds like the other Tony. I'm sure he's still brilliant, but he can be frustrating.
no subject
[He repeats that with a hint of amusement because… yeah. That’s a way to put it.] He did seem brilliant, but also annoying. And he seemed to think he was very important.
But how can the same person be here twice? Is it… one of those things where there’s more than one world?
no subject
Normally people don't meet themselves from other timelines, but I guess my universe is special.
no subject
I have only known one Tony, but if there are two of them and you have to put up with them both you have my condolences.
no subject
no subject
He's so... [He hesitates. Eventually:] American.
no subject
The comment makes him smirk, though. Bucky is American himself, but... well.] I know what you mean.
