[Warden Filtered + (Reluctantly) Kozak]

[Directly following this lovely little misunderstanding and this conversation, Bucky is making a post to the network to let you all know what, exactly, is going on. He doesn't love having to explain himself - you guys aren't his superiors, and he doesn't want this to turn into a let's all gang up on the crazy kid fiasco, but he's been around long enough to know people like explanations, and he wants to make sure the record's straight before this turns into a witch hunt or something.

So basically, be prepared for an unapologetic, I know what I'm doing and this is not up for discussion warden in the responses.]

This probably isn't news to anyone, but about an hour or so ago, my inmate - Ben - attacked Kozak in a hallway. I just want to make it clear that I talked with him, and this isn't gonna happen again. [Hopefully. :\] Ben's kinda unstable, port shook him up pretty badly, and he thought Kozak was a kind of monster that would attack and kill him if he didn't get at him first. Anything that doesn't look like a baseline human has potential to set him off, so I'd stay on your toes.

I'm not sending him to Zero. After what happened, it'd just make the situation worse, and I'm really not interested in having a repeat incident as soon as he gets out again. And if anyone starts using this as a reason to try and antagonize him, I really don't think you're gonna like what happens.

[Bucky is hanging out in his dorm room, which has a couple professional Quidditch team posters on the wall, plus at least one New York Yankees pennant since he's too young to like the Dodgers, and is sort of a typical level of messy for a teenage boy's dorm room. He's sitting at his desk tossing a baseball back and forth into a new mitt, trying to break it in.]

Alright, I've gotta couple questions. First, if anyone missed the notice, my brother's cat is missing, and if any of you assholes kidnapped her, we're gonna have a problem. Her name's Grace, she's black and has an orange collar. If anyone's seen her, let me know. [And god help you if you did take her because that cat is like Jeff's daughter and he will be pissed. :|]

Second, does anyone have a spare copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? I can't figure out what happened to my copy and we've got that paper next week. [Really he would not be shocked if it got eaten during class the other day, but whatever, it's a book.]

And if anyone's up for tossing a ball around, I wanna break in this glove by next week's game.

[ooc: Bucky is a senior in Cockrel, a Chaser on the Quidditch team and a shortstop on the baseball team. He's kind of one of the popular kids, but doesn't take crap from bullies and especially looks out for Steve and his twin brother, Jefferson, who is kind of a freak don't try to deny it. He's not the best student, but he shows up for class and does his work most of the time, he just likes sports better.]

So my inmate, Ben - he's the kid that looks like Dean and's been running around introducing himself as X5-493 - needs a job. Neither of us are particularly picky in where he ends up so long as it'll keep him occupied and get him working with other people. He's never really had a "normal" life, and I think giving him something to do and making him keep a schedule'd be good for him. He follows directions and I think he'd be a decent fit wherever you guys would need him, honestly.

The one thing I just wanna put out there so everyone's aware, he can be a little unstable. Before he got here, he used to nab people, tattoo them, arm them, and then release them into a forest, where he'd hunt them down and kill them by breaking their necks. I completely understand why that's not exactly a "gee, I really want this kid on my shift in the dining hall", but I figure the more people know what to look for, and the more people who're keeping an eye on him, the easier it'll be to contain a situation if we have to. And I really think giving him something to focus on for at least part of the day that gets him interacting with other people learning a skill might cut down on the free time he'd have he might otherwise be using to cause trouble.

And I understand discretion's kinda a complicated thing here, what with the floods and whatever kinda suspending free will sometimes? But I'd really appreciate it if you don't let him know how much I filled you in on this. Believe me, it'll be better for all of us in the long run.

[Bucky sounds a little more level than he did in his last post, back to his normal, not oh god I suddenly have superpowers self, and he sounds more vaguely amused/annoyed by the flood than anything else.]

I guess as far as first floods go, that coulda been a lot worse. [And that's all he really wants to say on the subject for right now, if that's cool with the rest of you.]

[Private to Ben]

Hey, kid. I've got your file. [And he's thumbed through it a little and holy shit, your life :|] You got anywhere you wanna meet up and talk? [He figures you're likely to agree to whatever he asks you to do, right off the bat, but he wants to give him the option to pick where he'd like to sit down and talk about stuff.]

[Private to Steve]

I think your friend Nicole has a crush on me.

[Yesterday morning, Bucky woke up feeling... great, really. Better than great. Until he started realizing something was definitely very extremely wrong, which started to sink in when grabbing stuff snapped it in half or pulled stuff off the wall, and see and smell things way sharper than he'd been able to before, and there was a very horrifying couple minutes where he was pretty sure he was losing his mind.

So, after calming down enough to pick up his communicator - incredibly gingerly, worried he was going to destroy that, too - he scrolls through the few posts that have already gone up, and then flips on the video feed, looking vaguely annoyed. Someone who knows him well might notice he's actually pretty damn unsettled, but he's doing a good job of putting up a front for the Barge at large.]

Is anyone missing some superpowers they've usually got? Because I think I know what happened to 'em.

[ooc: Bucky's swapped species with Ben, which means he's got all the powers and abilities of an X5. If anyone wants to run into him wandering around the ship, tag in with a time and place and he can totally be there!]

[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.]
