[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.]

There's a lot to tell. The Barge is a unique working environment, to say the very least, and it's subject to some - unusual conditions.

People call them 'floods' although nothing tangible actually enters the ship.

You do get used to it, after a while. Though I know that's not much consolation now.

...I...apologise for barging into your conversation to go off at Castiel. [She smiles tightly.] Not very professional of me.

[A pause. She's not sure what she would have done with commiserations on her own death, but she wouldn't have wanted the fact brushing over entirely, either.]
I'm...sorry about the circumstances of your coming here.

I've seen a lot of other guys die in a lot worse ways, and far as I know, they're not here. [It could have been worse. It could have been a lot worse, even if falling had been terrifying.]
But thanks.

[Another quick, tight smile.]
Well...welcome to the Barge, again. I see you're joining a friend here [which is....either a very good thing or an EXTREMELY BAD THING], but if you ever need any help or have any questions for someone who's been on board a while, my cabin is 8-2.
