Alright, so, [Bucky's still in his room, which looks the same as normal Bucky's room, but Bucky himself looks about a decade younger, and for the first time literally in his entire time on board isn't wearing some kind of military uniform. It's been swapped out for a buttoned down plaid shirt with a t-shirt underneath, jeans and sneakers, and he looks a little out of place in the pretty spartan, clearly military room he's hanging out in.] Either this flood's just switched all our rooms around - Stiles, this one might be yours? - or we traded memories or something, so I guess no one knows who we're dealing with anymore. Might be a good idea to start swapping stories so we know what we've got. I'll go first: I'm Bucky Barnes, I'm seventeen, and I'm from Beacon Hills, California. I'm here as a warden, and my best friend Steve Rogers and I were trying to get a lacrosse league going here, which I'm pretty sure we're still up for doing if anyone's interested. It's not like the CES went anywhere, right? Although I guess I'm gonna need to borrow a stick until my room gets back to normal. Or I guess if you're crashing in it, lemme know. There should be a lot of comics and stuff on the floor. [Don't judge, he was looking for something and didn't get around to tidying up before the flood hit.] So, who do you think you're supposed to be?

Yep, that is...definitely my room. Lacrosse sounds interesting. I take it you play back home?

You can come by and get the lacrosse stick. Actually we should probably just swap rooms.

[lastrat]

You're not really doing this, are you?

[Judgey vampire is judgey.]

[imfollowinghim]

[Likewise, attention from a cute princess is pretty much making dealing with your occasional uppityness okay.] I'll see what I can do. Give me a sec.

[imfollowinghim]

That's just mean, guess what I want now.

[imfollowinghim]

So does that mean you'll let me take you to dinner now? [Is he kidding? He might be. But he also might not be.]

[imfollowinghim]

Yeah, I totally snuck in here just to mess with you guys, you caught me. How'd you guys sleep in these things? [He means the exceptionally uncomfortable looking bunkbeds.]

[imfollowinghim]

Yeah, Steve's team captain. You'd like it, I promise. [And now he's just going to look mock disappointed, because God, Stiles, way to ruin his day!!] And here I was just about to try on your uniform.

[imfollowinghim]

I didn't say you had to play along.

[lydiascreams]

[Lydia nods expectantly at his promise. But a second has gone by and no dresses appeared in her room. She's also impatient.]

Tell me what he says.

[voluntaryapnea]

[Stiles smirks at him.]

Go for it. Tell me more about lacrosse.

[imfollowinghim]

It's kinda like if hockey and basketball got turned into one sport? But way different at the same time. Basically, you have a stick with a net on the end you use to carry the ball, and you beat the crap out of anyone who tries to get it away from you. Sort of.

[punched_hitler]

I know.

It's the only way I'm gonna make it through this, I'm pretty sure.

[So, you know. Thanks.]

private

[imfollowinghim]

That's the only way you've made it through a couple things. [Him too though, so at least we're even.]

[imfollowinghim]

Hang on, I'm asking. [And a minute or two later, he turns the comm back on and holds up a dress, in the colors you specified, which hopefully looks like something you'd actually wear willingly.] This okay?

[lydiascreams]

[At the sight of the dress, she smiles brightly and nods.]

That is perfect! Would you bring it to my room so I don't have to walk around so-- indecently?

[She still has the coat on but her legs are very much exposed.]

[lastrat]

Yes, and I don't have to listen to you fill up the network either, yet here we both are.

[semifreakingnormal]

[He just shrugs.] Oh, they weren't so bad. Sometimes you just get used to sleeping on the ground.

[And then they're perfect because you're not in danger of being swallowed whole by them.]

[druidism]

Sorry, sweetie, I'm not about to get arrested here of all places.

But I'll let you take me out on your birthday.

[imfollowinghim]

Sure. Where's your room? And for the record, I think you look fine.

[imfollowinghim]

Now I'm gonna have to hold you to that.

[druidism]

You'd better.

[imfollowinghim]

Yeah, well, I'm still really, really camping's still kind of a novelty. So, want me to snoop on Stiles for you? [100% kidding. 100%]

[warisart]

Don't you have to be good at lacrosse before you can get a league together? Or is that where the trying part comes in?

[But Ben is teasing, grinning broad and cheerful.]

I'm supposed to be Hercules.

[imfollowinghim]

That might be more on you than me.

[semifreakingnormal]

What? No! You shouldn't--

[Oh. That was a joke. Scott drops his head and laughs.]
