[This is all Thor's idea. Bucky likes Thor, surprisingly, but he didn't agree until this was turned into a wager. If these blind dates go badly, Thor owes him a steak dinner and a good whiskey, so it's worth it.

He hasn't been told the names of any of his dates, just given days, times, and places to show up, so tonight is a bit of a mystery. Holding up his end of the bargain, Bucky has dressed up a bit in dark-wash jeans and a nice button-up with the top two buttons undone, though he's still wearing motorcycle boots, because this is about as dressy as he gets on his own. He's clean-shaven and his hair is sort of styled, at least. Nobody can say he's not earning this steak dinner he's pretty sure he has coming.

He's not really expecting any of this to work out.

Bucky strolls up to the classy little restaurant he's been told to stand in front of, tucking his bike keys into his pocket with his wallet, brown eyes scanning the crowd with just a hint of nerves. It's starting to dawn on him, he's never really done this before, a date night with someone new. With Natasha, they were old lovers, familiar and comfortable already. With Gretchen... well, wars didn't allow for this kind of thing. Jesus. Here goes nothing.]

[Tonight, it's a small pub downtown, known for upscale bar food and artisan beer - and their Quarantine-famous trivia night, happening tonight in about half an hour. Again, Bucky has given no one room to say he didn't try; he looks decent and well-groomed, freshly shaved and wearing jeans, boots, a v-neck t-shirt in heathered blue, with a casual blazer left unbuttoned. Inside the place is a little crowded, but nothing too crazy.

He's already snagged a table for them both, and a spot in the trivia competition. They'll probably lose, it's no doubt a lot of Riverview trivia and non-Earth questions, but it's a good enough icebreaker for a first date, right?

Perched on a stool, watching the door for whoever might be his date tonight, he starts wondering if it'd be a good idea to go ahead and order a pitcher for the table. It might ease his- well, he refuses to call them nerves. He's a grown-ass man. It doesn't mean anything that he hasn't done this much before. And besides, is he really expecting much from this? No. He's absolutely not. Whatever happens is going to happen.]

[His third time and location is evening, when the sun is just starting to set, and a three-level riverboat docked by the city, all lit up with strings of lights, the sounds of drinking, conversation, and music filtering out over the water. It's the Quarantine's newest minor attraction, a floating bar with live music that does a round down the river every night. It's an interesting place, at least, and it boasts specialty liquors and cocktails from all over the multiverse, along with a modest menu of food.

Bucky is actually wearing slacks tonight, along with a nice button-up with threads of silver that compliment the silver of his left arm, bared up to the elbow by his sleeves rolled up. Standing on the lower deck, he leans against the railing, watching the people boarding - couples, groups of friends looking for a good time. He keeps an eye out for anyone by themselves, wondering who Thor has set him up with this time. Possibly someone familiar, possibly not. Their social circles overlap quite a bit simply because of Avenging, but it's not necessarily someone he knows this time.

Again he wonders why he agreed to this, wonders how the night will go. At least no one can say he didn't try to get out there after this, right?]
