bibbety and I will be more than happy to add in a prompt for you!
[i: Sparring partners; CLOSED to Ivar Ragnarsson]
[Bucky spends a lot of his time out in the abandoned city, even sleeping there some nights when the feel of people all around him becomes a bit too much to handle. He's doing better than he was when he arrived here, he's even spoken to Steve fairly courteously once, but he's got a long way to go and he still prefers to do it alone.
Which is why he's out in the city training himself, running between buildings, jumping and vaulting various debris fields, and occasionally testing his acrobatic skills with flips and kicks off one surface to catch hold of another. What he's not expecting, after jumping one particularly large gap between rooftops, is to land by a man on the ground.
At first he thinks it's someone hurt, until he recognises the man that fought him when he was recently arrived and remembers how he couldn't use his legs. It's pretty impressive that he got up this far, let alone out here to the abandoned city in the first place.]
You okay?
[He was just going to go, but maybe Ivar really is hurt and can't get down.]
[ii: Meals on wheels; CLOSED to Dick Grayson]
[There have been a couple of times while Bucky has been skulking around the city that he's seen the man he doused in yoghurt, still patrolling in that costume. He knows his name now, made sure to look it up based on the usernames and the apartment - Dick Grayson. Not that he plans on using it, he just likes to have all the information, it can be the difference between life and death.
But what he doesn't realise is that he's the one that's been spotted tonight by Dick, as he slips out into the abandoned city and turns into one of the nearby ruins. A sleeping bag and rucksack are already stashed there, along with a surprising array of weapons. He slides into his sleeping bag, sat up against the wall, completely unaware that he's not alone... for now.]
[iii: Magic and Mayhem; CLOSED to Stephen Strange]
[Bucky has very few things that he would count as personal possessions. His weapons, clothes, and sleeping bag were all just tools that could pass in and out of his ownership without him caring that much. Though he would never like to be unarmed, he could always find more weapons if he lost these.
But he had a book that was precious to him. Just a tattered little notebook which was a quarter full of news clippings of all the various Avengers, some information both bought and stolen from the Smithsonian gift shop, and several choppy paragraphs in his own handwriting. Notes on information he's found out, memories that have resurfaced, that sort of thing.
He's sitting on the rooftop of one of the buildings in the main city, riffling through the book, when a sudden gust of wind catches it and sends it out of his hands and over the side to land at either at the feet of, or directly on the head of, the poor unsuspecting person walking by.
Sorry, Stephen.]
[iv: Dance lessons; CLOSED to Ellie]
[The flower festival isn't exactly Bucky's natural habitat, but he keeps finding himself drawn to the dance lessons and performances in the various open park areas. He doesn't really remember dancing himself, it's definitely not something the Soldier has ever done even though he has the dexterity for it, but it feels familiar.
So even though spending so much time in the crowds goes against a lot of his instincts, Bucky keeps finding himself back in the throng.
It's where he is that morning, sat with his back against a tree to make it slightly harder to sneak up on him from behind, intently watching a couple perform an exhibition piece in the style of swing dancing. These are the ones he likes the best, the ones that feel the most oddly familiar, and he has an almost peaceful expression as he watches.]
[v: Running into you; CLOSED to Tony Stark]
[Bucky spends a lot of his time either hiding, skulking in the shadows, or moving at a carefully steady pace through crowds so as not to attract attention. But sometimes he just needs to blow off steam, sometimes he just needs to burn through the excess energy that the bastardised serum gives him.
Which is why he's running.
He's at least chosen a time when he doesn't think anyone else will be near the outskirts of the city, and he's running down side streets and back alleys rather than the main streets, but he is pushing himself all out. Running faster than a normal human could, vaulting trash cans and practically skidding around corners.
It's probably lucky he hasn't crashed into anyone before now...]
[vi: Festival Fun; CLOSED to Suigetsu Houzuki]
[This festival, much like the last festival, is a good place to gather free food. The stall vendors are often so busy that they don't notice a little something here or there going missing, and lots of people end up buying food that they can't finish and just abandon. Which is why one suspicious hobo type is now casually wandering the picnic area, stooping as if to tie his shoe every so often when he's really stealing leftovers.
Don't mind him...]
[vii: A serious talk; CLOSED to Clark Kent]
[See the comments for starter.]
[viii: Kites and trees; SEMI-OPEN to anyone plotted with on the CR meme]
[Bucky has spent most of the flower festival skirting the main events, on the fringes of the crowds, or watching from a distance. But some things keep drawing him in deeper, like leftovers at the picnic area, or dance contests, or the smell of food.
To anyone wandering, he can be found in the following places:
i) staring into the window of a bakery as if the pies on display have the answer to life.
ii) up a tree in the park, watching a dance demonstration like a skulking creeper
iii) flying a kite that he got pressured into buying, sitting on the grass in a relatively secluded area. If this kite accidentally drops and wraps around your character, more's the pity.]
[ix: Football; CLOSED to Jonathan Kent]
[Bucky doesn't look like someone who's in the park to play a nice game of football... for one, he doesn't actually have a football. He's also skulking under the trees, wearing a long hoodie and gloves despite the warm weather, and is looking around at everyone entering the park as if they might be a threat to him.
But he said he wanted to do this, so he's here.
Even after he got the message from Clark that said he had somewhere else to be that morning, he was sorry, but hopefully Bucky could still have fun with Jonathan. Which was why Bucky was skulking out of place, waiting for a kid and hoping that said kid brought a football with him. Or they might be kind of scuppered.]

no subject
Is it the people?
-- That's a dumb question, of fucking course it's the people. The only televisions she's seen are in the common rooms. Ellie chews on her lip, and digs her tablet out of her bag.
It's still a pretty big assumption to make, but she's sure she's right. Sure enough to take a chance.]
What if it was on something like this? Better? We could just... hang out here where nobody knows where we are. Because I'm just about like... the worst at describing plots. Trust me, I'd just confuse the fuck out of myself and then talk in a circle for an hour.
no subject
He glances down at the tablet, still a little surprised that those could be used for things other than gathering information on a target. He's never tried to watch a movie on one before, but it makes sense now that she's said it.]
--I suppose if you're that bad at describing plots.
[He could try it.
Maybe not here and maybe not now, but sometime where they could sit and be hidden.]
no subject
Trust me. Completely terrible. I tried to tell a friend about this book I read once? She ended up thinking Lord of the Rings was about apes on like... Saturn. Don't ask me how.
no subject
[He's read The Hobbit, but the other books came out after the war, and therefore after he had ever stood a chance of reading them.]
Saturn has rings. Sounds plausible.
[Is he teasing? Maybe.]
no subject
And then just bursts out laughing.]
Stop the fucking presses, Mark, was that a joke? Holy shit, dude, you're going to give me a heart attack!
no subject
So what is Lord of the Rings about?
no subject
[A sage nod.]
And these guys called, uh... rabbits? No, wait, hobbits. And a volcano, and--
[one long-winded, terribly convoluted explanation later,]
-- Fucking Ents. Talking trees would scare the shit outta me.
[Somehow that is definitely the conclusion of her rambling. Don't ask how she arrived at that point as her final one, just accept it.]
no subject
I'll make sure to warn you if I come across any, then.
[Though, to be quite honest, he'd probably be pretty freaked out by talking trees as well.]
no subject
See? Knew I liked you for a reason.
[Now it's her turn to tease him a bit.]
You can have my back on all matters of tree related atrocities. You gotta shake on it, though. Otherwise it doesn't count.
[She sticks hers out with utter solemnity.]
no subject
Deal.
[Not that he knows what he's getting out of it.]
In return, you never bring that cotton candy near me again.
no subject
You fucker, it's not that bad!
[It's definitely That Bad. But this is clearly a Joke and therefore the best thing ever so just excuse her while she giggles.]
Fine. Hotdogs next time.
no subject
Next time.
[He's sat here with her for too long, he's starting to feel that itch between his shoulderblades like he's being watched. He needs to get going.]
no subject
Try to have some fun, huh pal? And take care of yourself.
[She doesn't follow him to his feet or anything like that, but she does give him a cheery wave to send him on his way.]
no subject
He just slips away into the background.]
