[ When the feed kicks in it mostly zeros in on the dog in Bucky's arms. Crepe's tail is thumping happily away to herself and it would be a normal picture if not for the icing in her fur or the way she's licking her lips. Bucky looks torn between finding the entire thing hilarious and breaking down because what. ]

Uh. So did anyone else wake up to discover their house was pretty much made of cake? [ The camera swings round to the front door and the suspiciously chewed and dog shaped hole in what used to be wood. ] I like something sweet as much as the next fella, but I don't really wanna live in it. [ He's not six anymore, he knows that's not feasible. ] And I'm not sure I actually wanna be eaten out of house and home. [ As if sensing the meaning of his words, Crepe licks his chin. ]

Is everyone having this problem?

See, and it's just weird being in a place where 'death' isn't a given in situations like that.

[yourbestguysgun]

You're telling me. But hey, I'm kinda glad for it too.

[fe_male]

Kinda takes some of the sharpness out of the equation though.

[yourbestguysgun]

Only if you're the one dyin'.

[fe_male]

Well I mean, if your friends are dying, but they're not gonna actually die, that's sort of similar.

[yourbestguysgun]

I don't know if grief works like that.

[fe_male]

Probably not. I tend to avoid it at all costs.

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah. [ Usually he would rib Tony about his lack of emotional maturity. But Bucky hates it as much as the other guy might, so. ]

So what y'been working on?

[fe_male]

Mostly been playing with instantaneous deposition and sublimation changes. Did reprogram some engine bugs to try and see if there was a physiological difference in being cursed or not but that's shown less and therefore been less interesting. You?

[yourbestguysgun]

[ That's a whole lot of words Bucky doesn't really get when they're strung together, so he sounds faintly vacant. ]

Workin' with the squad.

[fe_male]

[ don't worry that's not abnormal when talking to him ]

What squad?

[yourbestguysgun]

The Police. Steve's running the show now.

[fe_male]

Oh that one. Yeah that makes sense. Glad you guys are good with vigilantes. [ because hah if you weren't. ]

[yourbestguysgun]

Don't worry, if anyone thought about arrestin' you it wouldn't be me. Your house talks. Can't deal with that.

[fe_male]

I'm glad to know my evil league of creations are what will keep me safe when the man starts to abuse his power.

[yourbestguysgun]

Well, from me anyhow. Not sure about the rest of the guys.

[fe_male]

Who are the others?

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Rattling off a list of names because the Mun is not sure ]

So watch out, yeah?

[fe_male]

[ it's okay i forgot there was one at all ]

I'll be sure to sic my evil inventions only on you, totally. [ 'thanks' ]

[yourbestguysgun]

Oh boy, am I lucky.

[fe_male]

Compromise - you can see the cool new not evil stuff early too, how's that?

[yourbestguysgun]

Only if I get to test out the really neat stuff too. [ Because Tony's genius may leave him feeling a little lost, but half the stuff is interesting. ]

[fe_male]

Implying I make anything that isn't.
