[The video feed clicks on, except at first, the image is upside down and you're getting a pretty decent view of a blue jacket before the camera's righted and held back at an angle where you can actually see who's holding the thing.

Bucky's still wearing his Howling Commandos uniform and looks a little worse for wear, if only because he was just in a firefight that went badly after you know. He fell off of a very fast moving train and into a frozen river, but the Barge has healed any injuries and he's just ready to get going on this. He can worry about the rest of it (being dead) later. So he just smiles at the camera, and there's a touch of the familiar cockiness in the expression, even if he's more or less trying to be professional. This is a job, after all.]

This is Sergeant James Barnes, formerly with the 107th Infantry. U.S. Army. Most people call me Bucky. I've been on assignment with the Howling Commandos for the last couple months, but I guess someone decided I'd be better off transferring here for as long as this Admiral guy thinks I'll be useful. [It's a joke, see? Also Bucky really, really does not know what to think of him or this place in general, because this is really not what he thought the afterlife would look like at all.]

So if anyone's got some advice on what to expect for the new guy, I'd appreciate it. [Really, he's got a lot of questions he wants to ask, but he'll leave it at that for now.]

[Hey if you didn't lie, this wouldn't be a problem. Just saying.]

And what brings a dame like you to a place like this? [I'm so sorry Natasha. :C]

[Nope lying is her lifeblood.]

'Dame?' [Hoo boy. :c] You are sixty years behind, aren't you?

[Then no complaining when it blows up in your face. :v]

That's what they're telling me.

[FINE :C]

You don't hide it well.

Didn't realize I had to.

I guess you don't.

Anyway, I had a deal to make. [Nope. :c]

You mind if I ask what for?

Big business deal back home. Don't want it falling through. [She sounds dry instead of bland and dull this time; nope, you can't ask James.]

What about you?

[I can do whatever I want. :C

He shrugs a little, saying it kind of frankly even if it's still a weird thing to think about.] I guess I died.

[She had a brief moment of THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN DIED but it doesn't touch her face, and she realizes he must mean the ice and basically fuck you Admiral, seriously buddy.]

Good deal.

[He's still completely oblivious, having no reason to take what she's saying at less than face value.]

That's why I took it.

[Well, that's why she's so good at this. Be believable. :c]

What happened?

I fell off a train. [It's easier to be flippant about it. :v]

[Oh yeah super easy. She gets that. But it isn't so easy to listen to.] Must've been a really crappy train.

We were running a mission, things kinda went south. [And actually not even sure if they got Zola or not at the end of the day. He'd assumed, because they'd won and Steve said he'd stopped Schmidt but. Probably should double check he didn't die for nothing.]

Sounds like. What kind of mission did the 'Howling Commandos' go on? [It's kind of ingrained in her to get all the information s he possibly can, and he seems to be int he mood to explain.]

[Sort of. A lot of their specific stuff was varying levels of classified, and while the war's very clearly over, Bucky's a good soldier, and he doesn't like the idea of just handing out sensitive information to strangers.]

Hunting down Nazis, mostly. Disassembling HYDRA bases.

[Ah, HYDRA. She is very interested in finding out how much James knew about that. That she's getting out of here eventually is a bygone conclusion: that she's getting out with important information is a little more up in the air.]

HYDRA?

The Nazi's deep science division. [And that's all he really wants to say on the subject. You'll have to wait to get more out of him. :c]

[She has a wide array of interrogation tactics. :\]

And they called it HYDRA? But I guess they weren't worried about arrogance.
