[ He's holding up a sugar dispenser, that's all the video feed consists of, Bucky's hand as he turns it around, watching the yellow grains turn over and over. ] Sand. [ Captain obvious, but he seems to figure there's something off about it. ] That's the third thing today that's had sand in it an' it's early hours yet.

[ And it is, he's in the diner pretty early, probably pleased that he doesn't take anything in his coffee. Hopefully it didn't have sand in it, but it looks so far, so good. Bucky needs that.

Because this is at least distracting, so what the hell. ] Anyone got any ideas?

I was thinkin' it was a weird hansel an' gretel thing. Only it went wrong.

[boutant]

I'm not sure what they'd be doing in my shoes.

Besides, isn't that bread crumbs?

[yourbestguysgun]

Hence the wrongness.

[ Oh look, it's in his wallet too. ] Whatever it is, it's freaking weird.

[boutant]

Maybe the City's falling apart.

[ Pause. ]

I really hope that's not it.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ :| ] Let's not jinx it.

[boutant]

Sorry.

[yourbestguysgun]

Hey, nah. I just know who to blame when the floor gives out.

[boutant]

At least I know how to fix that sort of thing.

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah? So we come to you.

[boutant]

I'll need supplies and people to do the heavy lifting.

[yourbestguysgun]

That's pretty much Steve's job.

[boutant]

You're not going to help?

[yourbestguysgun]

No, I mean it's literary his job. 'Course I will

[boutant]

[ But the important question: will they have their shirts off while they do that heavy lifting? ]

As long as you don't mind a girl bossing you around.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Something could be arranged. ]

Nah, gettin' all worked up like that s'never been my style. Besides, you dames know what you're doing, who m'I to argue.

[boutant]

[ Excellent. ]

Just checking.

[yourbestguysgun]

We'll be at your service when you need us.

[boutant]

Hopefully the sand issue won't be that bad.

[yourbestguysgun]

Well, we could all live in huts, I guess.

[boutant]

It's warm enough.

[yourbestguysgun]

Wouldn't have t'clean up.

[boutant]

Speak for yourself. I have a cat.

[yourbestguysgun]

I wanted to attach a sweeper thing to Crepe, but she's gettin' real lazy.

[boutant]

She'd probably try and chew it off anyway. Pancake's so short that he just barrels through some of the larger piles.
