Settling In [OTA Catch-all]

Who: Bucky Barnes AKA Soldat, and OPEN
Where: Each prompt will have a car listed
When: Jelly 2 - 5
What: Getting settled in, working out chores, discovering movies
Warnings: Amiable disassociation, possible discussion of trauma, probably swearing :P


I. Sleep Schedules - Sleeper car, specifically 4:A

Generally, to foil nightmare-laden nights and to split up their day, Soldat used to sleep twice a day: once right after lunch, and once after midnight. They don't know if that will work here, but they're definitely going to try it.

Walk into the cabin to clean it or to get to your things, and you might find a supersoldier bolting awake, with a metal arm held up between you and them, or a supersoldier sitting curled on one of the bottom bunks with a notebook on their knees, hastily writing something down and looking hunted.


II. Hi, Red Team - Kitchen car

So Soldat has swapped their cleaning chores for Otoha's cooking chores, and here they are, showing up bright and early on their second day to the kitchen car, looking uncertain of their welcome but absolutely ready to work. "I did a lot of the cooking," they say earnestly, "back at my last place. Traded with one of your guys."

And they'll dive in with all apparent happiness when given ingredients, a new recipe (they've never worked with avocados before), and tools. Might even kind of quietly hum to themselves now and then, when they forget they're not surrounded by strangers.


III. Sadly, No Muppets - Cinema car

The first thing Soldat looked up when creeping into the cinema car to investigate was a movie, or show, or set of movies, or something that Misty had told them about. They look vaguely confused when they find something... similar... but with a slightly off name. The Moppet Show? The remaining inbox conversations on their tablet says "Muppet" but... maybe it's a different universe thing?

Either way, find them taking up some time here and there when the cinema car is otherwise unoccupied, watching wacky puppet shenanigans and being at turns delighted, annoyed, and confused. "I'm not sure if that is supposed to be funny or not," they muse aloud, frowning at a puppet rabbit flailing over a puppet wolf's joke act going badly, while a pair of puppet old ladies in a balcony heckle them both. (Seems like it's supposed to be, but I don't get it. Yes. Was that agreement with us or with the show? No.)


IV. Common Train Passtime - Gym car

A lot of people on this train seem to like spending time in the gym car. Well, Soldat isn't necessarily one of them, but they also can't lose their edge, either, not if there are missions where people need help. So they stop by once a day, looking kind of shy and keeping out of the way until there's room, then settling into a routine of hitting dummies and dancing around against invisible opponents.

It's clear from their motions that they're used to having a knife, or multiple knives. (They miss their knives so bad.)

Anyone wanting to spar, or wanting to critique, or wanting help themselves-- Soldat's there. They try to keep to themselves unless asked, though, knowing that their role as a teacher in Beacon was familiar and accepted, but it probably isn't here.


V. Wildcard

Soldat can be found poking around pretty much anywhere but the medical cars. Feel free to run into them wherever, I can work with it!

"Just trust me on this," Cassie says. "The production was a mess. There were about three or four different suits involved who each wanted it to be something different. It was bad enough that Dad insists on approving the final cut of every film he's on now."

"Trust me, there are better bad movies to choose from," Cassie says. "The fun kind of bad."

"Will do," Cassie says. "I actually like to have public movie nights. Have done a couple of showings of Dad's movies. I'm thinking of having another one soon."

"I'll announce the next one," Cassie says. "I'll just have to think of a movie to pick."

Cassie chuckles, then transitions into a mock evil laugh.

"Oh, I know a lot of what that looks like."
