[ The video turns on when paws stamp on it and the feed blurs when blue cotton and brown fuzzy felt drag along it. The voice sounds kind of softer than it would before. Bucky's voice - but quieter. Muffled maybe. ] Crepe, Crepe.

[ She's got something caught in her teeth, a bear by the looks of it, and she pulls it up to the couch and nuzzles at it with her noise. Paws pin it down and she lays her head on its stomach. ]

Okay, that's better. Now, stop dragging me 'round the place, okay kid?



(( ooc: actual teddy bear bucky barnes. because a-babies vs. x-babies made my heart giddy and I couldn't resist. ))

That's a dog, not a kid. And you're a teddy bear, so how can you talk?

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Crepe raises her head at the device, but Bucky can't exactly move himself so he just calls out in a small, teddy-ish voice. ]

She's kind of like a kid - never listens. And I'm not usually a teddy bear.

[bitingly]

What are you usually, then?

[yourbestguysgun]

Uh, a guy. [ Crepe moves to chew on his ear with a growl. ] Crepe, sweetie, don't do that.

[bitingly]

Did you get turned into a teddy bear?

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah. Well, it's a curse. [ It feels strange. He doesn't feel his limbs, he can't feel his hands or feet. He knows who he is, he knows how he's supposed to feel.

But his body is made entirely of stuffing. ] I'll be back to normal tomorrow, I guess.

[bitingly]

Did a witch curse you? Witches aren't real. And I think they only turn people into toads, not teddy bears.

[yourbestguysgun]

Maybe she was a good witch.

[ Bucky has no idea who he's talking to right now, but he imagines that scaring a child would not be the greatest thing. He likes kids, especially ones with active imaginations. ]

[bettercallit]

[ He's got over the fact he clearly hasn't seen everything yet, even if he has seen some pretty weird things, but this is unnerving. ]

You're looking kinda cute and cuddle there, Barnes.

[ Video ]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Crepe hears Clint's voice and picks Bucky up by the ears, wagging her tail. ]

Don't excite her.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

If that's what she calls excitement, you need to get her out more.

[ But it's obvious he's trying not to laugh at this development. ]

[ Video ]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Crepe drags him off the couch with ease, coming to snuffle against the phone, which means Bucky's soft little bear voice is louder. ]

If she chews my ear off, I'm coming after you.

[ Grr. :C ]

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Shaking in my boots. [ Okay, now he's outright chuckling.

Leaning into the screen, he puts on the voice he uses in secret (usually) that he saves for dogs. ] You're not gonna chew his ear off, are you, Crepe? No, 'course you're not, you're a good girl.

[ Tail thumping against the coffee table leg. ]

She thinks I'm her puppy. [ Sad panda Bucky. ] I've already been dragged under the couch.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Hope you vacuum under there, 'cause if it's anything like mine, that's an experience that'll stick with you.

[ He taps at the screen when a wet nose pushes up against it, which clearly just makes her wag her tail harder. ] If you ask me, she knows you're off limits. She would've ripped you open by now.

[ Video ]

[yourbestguysgun]

I don't know, I can't see myself. [ He is a bear who can't move, Clint. Christ. ]

M'trying not to think about that bit, buddy.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ If he weren't enjoying this, Bucky, he might be sorry about it. ]

You do have a little something there. [ He's pointing at his own neck to show where, not that it'll be that much help. ] If I hear a rip, I'll know what's going on. No one else around?

[bitingly]

Witches aren't real, though.

( This one does not scare easily. )

[yourbestguysgun]

Talking bears aren't real either.

[ And yet. ]

[ Video ]

[yourbestguysgun]

Steve's at work. [ And doesn't know yet. ] It's just me and Crepe. I fell asleep on the sofa.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

That's one way to wake up.

[ Credit to him, he sounds a bit more sympathetic now. ] Need me to swing by, put you up somewhere too high for her to reach?

[ Video ]

[yourbestguysgun]

She'd probably spent the time crying.

[ And even as a bear, Crepe's pretty much his baby. ] Besides, I can't hit you like this. [ NO TRUST, CLINT. ]

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Could bring Fury over, let them have a play date while you wait out the curse.

[ Not that he wants your company or anything, Bucky. ]

[punchedhitler]

[Steve hears this - and then sees it, and heads home in a hurry. Because holy moly]

Bucky? Bucky?

[He spots Crepe opening her mouth, about to chew at a left arm, and snatches the bear from her]

No, sweetheart, no.

NO HIS ARM OMG. /laughing-crying

[yourbestguysgun]

Hi.

[ He doesn't have a mouth but he can still talk. It would be hilarious if he didn't feel slightly damp and also made of fuzzy soft insides. ]
