one ✪ video
[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.]

[And he's focused on the other, more Spangly part]
Barnes, right. Bucky Barnes. No wonder Cap was basically having kittens over you.
[Not like he stalks Steve's conversations when bored. Nope.]
[video]
You a friend of his?
[video]
Teammate, apparently. Otherwise a grudging and often amused acquaintance. Someone has to keep his ass from freaking out and killing everything that beeps at him.
[video]
Nice of you. You got a name?
[video]
He'll take bikinis and give you quality tv]
I consider it my civic duty. [He only pauses for a quick second, already knowing from the other two of the Blast from the Past gang that there was a pretty damn high chance he'd known Howard personally]
Tony. ... Stark. And before you ask, yeah. That Stark. Apparently there's a resemblance.
[video]
Apparently. Steve mentioned you. [See look, he didn't immediately jump to conclusions and say how awesome your dad was.]
[video]
I have a reputation. I'm kind of a big deal in the future. Richest man alive, smartest person on the planet, man of the future...
And a National goddamn Hero.
[He does appreciate that, Bucky :C ]

You don't get buildings with your name on them and billions of dollars to toss around by being modest.
