['Interior design' wasn't exactly something they taught in the Red Room, Tony. Bucky can pick out a sniper's nest, but a sniper's nest doesn't usually have a couch or a TV or artwork on the walls or drapes. At least the artwork was easy enough to decide on - Steve's sketches in simple frames throughout the apartment. Everything else... Well, Bucky only inherited Steve's apartment back home, and kept it mostly the way it was. Before, he lived in safehouses, bouncing from place to place.

He dips his mop in the bucket again and leans on the stick, raising an eyebrow slightly at Tony's mess of wires.] Is that going to be biometric entry? Retinal scans are tighter. Easier to duplicate a fingerprint. [Security systems, though, he knows - maybe not how to build one, but definitely how to break into one.]

If you build a projector, we still have to install a screen. Easier to just buy a flat-screen like everyone else in the city. Also, what the hell is a floating shelf?

[ well maybe the sniper should. come on, it is all about angles and optimal vision in this as well. though Tony perhaps has managed to pick up bits and pieces over the years by paying attention to whatever was chosen by the interior designers that he paid. that and basic common sense in what colours went with what.

there is a scoff of laughter as he digs back into the wires. ] Do you think me a fool, Mr Barnes! Yeah no, it's actually-- going to be triplicate. Because of alternates and all, I don't know how solid retinal scans are either honestly. So retinal, biochemical, and good old vocal passwords.

[ there is some quiet, the sound of shifting wires before, laughing softly:] Think I could convince Steve his is to sing the national anthem?

[ he wouldn't do that... but maybe he would. maybe. ]

And not installing a flat screen, we are not like everyone else. There will be a descending projector. With the potential for holographic display and 3D interaction. And I am going to pretend you didn't ask me that.

[To be fair, Bucky hasn't owned a home... ever in his life. Even when he technically had Steve's apartment in Brooklyn, he didn't change anything about it, because it was Steve's. He's never had to think about things like this.]

Vocal passwords? Really? [That just sounds like a recipe for- yes. Tony muses getting Steve to sing the national anthem, and Bucky rolls his eyes.] He'd probably find another way inside. Remind me to poke holes in your security as soon as you've got it set up.

Holographic- isn't that a little much? This is an apartment, not like- Avengers HQ or anything like that.

[ Bucky can be forgiven for not having impeccable interior design skills, if only because that would be seriously unfair if he did. Shooting Bucky a smile, Tony goes back to working, still laughing a little bit.]

Hey now, at this point we are running out of good ways to add security to a place. I mean, we can also add a number code? But... I dunno, do we eventually reach overkill? [ Is there such a thing as too much security? Tony doesn't really think so. ]

Yeah, I fully expect the two of you to find at least four ways inside by the end of day honestly, but then I will fix it. Maybe I should make you sing the national anthem too...

[ The latter is muttered as he winces and stabs his thumb with a piece of wire. When he looks up to raise a brow at Bucky, his has his thumb in his mouth and looks more than a little ridiculous. ] Uh huh, you want other Barnes crawling around in your shit? I mean, not that I think he would, but still.

Can't have too much security. Voices can be mimicked, though. [And fingerprints can be obtained if you cut a guy's fingers off. Retinal scans are the way to go here, though it does leave the issue of doubles. Are they genetically as similar as clones? It's an interesting question.]

I ain't singing anything. And I doubt you can build security I can't bust, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. [He snorts at the mention of the other Barnes, though.] Unlike some of you guys, me and the other Barnes aren't clones of each other. Have you seen the guy? His eyes are grey, and he's got at least four inches on me. Anyway, I ain't worried about that. Our paths don't cross all that much.
