oom + dual ep: a door from wakanda

[from_the_outside]

OOM: The morning after this:

During his first morning as a free man, Bucky speaks with Steve, makes an important call, and does his best to express his gratitude to T'Challa before heading to the lab for a consultation. And then...

"Did you mean what you said last night? About wanting to find a place for a drink, or to go dancing."

 

Featuring NPC versions of: King T'Challa, Princess Shuri, Okoye, Natasha Romanoff, and Steve Rogers (written prior to Steve's return to the bar).

---

The first figure to step through the door and into the Bar proper is a familiar one – tall, a little scruffy, shaggy brown hair, neatly pinned sleeve where his left arm would be – though the lightness in his eyes and in the way he carries himself is something new.

So is the woman whose hand he holds as he guides her through the door. She's tall and slim, dressed casually in light pants and a white tank top, and the look on her face is one of such comical surprise it's nearly dismay.

"Holy shit," says Sharon Carter. "You were not kidding."


Tinytag: Sharon Carter

OOC: After months of OOMs leading up to this point, here we are as Bucky and Sharon enter the bar together! Two pups, two muns, two wildly different timezones. Ask for either one or both. Slowtime is, as always, welcome, especially as we head into a holiday weekend in the States. Ping Lorna or Aspen if you have any questions!

"Bar?" he requests, and as she'd done before for Wei Wuxian, the bar produces a glossy picture of a West African dwarf goat.

Bucky passes it over. "Basically like that. There are a couple different breeds in the ones I look after, I think, but most are like this. White and brown and black."

[strongerthanyouknow]

Well. That is definitely a goat.

Not that Sara would know in the slightest what made it any different from any other goat.

"I guess it's good you've managed not to have your stampede yet. Just think of the chaos that might cause in here."

[from_the_outside]

"They're very cute," Sharon assures her.

And admittedly mostly too lazy to stampede. "But not great at soccer."

[nerves_of_ice]

“No, the kids are better at that,” he agrees.

[strongerthanyouknow]

Yeah. They're cute alright.

"How many kids do you two have?"

[from_the_outside]

It takes a second for the misapprehension to sink in, before Sharon blinks in awkward surprise.

"Not ours," she clarifies, quickly. "Local kids."

[nerves_of_ice]

For his part, Bucky seems relaxed about the misapprehension. “Village kids,” he agrees, easily. “I coach sometimes.”

[strongerthanyouknow]

"Ah." Sara rolls it off easily.

"And the goats try to get in on their games, too?"

[from_the_outside]

"It's more that the kids try to get the goats to play," Sharon explains.

"It sort of works, but I don't think the goats have really grasped the rules."

[nerves_of_ice]

"Which is a problem when they're supposed to be refereeing."

He appears to be perfectly serious.
