So a guy with a metal arm walks onto a spaceship—

[sinistral]

—stop me if you've heard this one.

Hello lovely people, I'm Cat and I'm bringing you one previously brainwashed former assassin from that canon with a million movies the MCU. Bucky here is from the end of The Winter Soldier which means that he's in the process of overcoming his programming and regaining his memories and discovering who he is outside of what he was made into. It also means he pretty much isn't going to recognize any of his canonmates so.

Fun times.

I've also been informed that he's been here before in various versions which means he's really going to be confused if people remember him because he will have no memory of the Fleet or any of its doings so.

Even more fun times.

I've cleaned up his journal to include proper informational and permission posts for anyone who is not canon familiar but I'm also happy to talk over What Having A Resident Assassin Means To You with anyone who might be interested. I'd also offer to talk over What Having A Robot Arm Means To You but it looks like there's practically a club for it here so this'll be a blast.

I'll be a little slow to do much over the next two days while I help my sister move into her new house (yay!) so I'm probably not going to make a "wake up" post or anything but I'm happy to talk out meeting with anyone else who would have been in the hospitality suites this week and I can't wait to see where Bucky will end up for his first assignment. I do welcome and and all plotting comments here or at sometimesamuse if you want to figure things out. Or if you just want to shitpost memes I'm cool with that too, go wild. I'm honestly just thrilled to be here.

Welcome!! i can't wait to thread. everyone is going to be very confused.

[sinistral]

I love confusion tbh, this is gonna be great

[postocular]

Hey, Cat! Welcome to the Fleet! I'm Frames (one of the Bucky's of Fleet's past, sorry about all the confusion you're going to get, pal) and I play Carl Grimes from The Walking Dead and Dorian Pavus of Dragon Age: Inquisition fame!

[sinistral]

Hi and thank you!! And haha never apologize, Bucky's going to hate it but I am living for making his life difficult and I am all for this. Great to meet you!

[postocular]

I haven't been able to thread off a Bucky in a whiiiile, so this is very fun for me! I was in the Fleet with my Buck for a little over 3 years and the Captain of the Heron for the longest time, so have fun with all that baggage, friendo~



Anyway, I look forward to our CR, because I'm definitely going to be throwing both my boys at you!

[sinistral]

Yes!!! Can't wait, this will be a blast!

[passingthrough]

There's kind of an assassin club too though it was mostly ladies with Kitty, Sara, and Natasha. Who knew boys could even be assassins?

Speaking of Kitty (kind of) I play Kitty Pryde from X-Men Age of Apocalypse and a million years of CRAU. I'm Haunt. Hi, welcome! I'm having this conversation backwards.

[sinistral]

Boys totally get to be assassins too! Equal opportunity laws and all of that~

Hello and hi! I'm looking forward to all kinds of fun here, this is going to be great. And backwards conversations are a blast too!

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, boy. Hi, Cat!

I'm Saro, and I play Natasha in the Fleet. She was in a serious romantic relationship with the last Bucky, so that's a thing. She knows how things go in the Fleet, so she's not going to be surprised that this Bucky isn't the same guy, and she won't have any expectations of him, but her inclination will definitely to be concerned to see him back.

Welcome to Drift Fleet!

[sinistral]

Oh boy this is going to be fun. But drama brings in ratings and it's all about the ratings, right? Seriously though I'm looking forward to threading with everyone and I hope I'll be able to do justice to the character and make him as enjoyable as past versions.

Thanks for the welcome!!

[outstandingbalance]

Exactly! I look forward to getting to play with him.

[abracafcku]

Welcome to the Fleet! I'm Kaze and I play Taako, an elven wizard from The Adventure Zone. He didn't know Bucky but robot arms are hilarious to him for reasons. I hope you have fun in the game!

[sinistral]

Hi and thank you!!! Please do give him the hardest time, I encourage it 100%. I'm looking forward to playing with you!

[abracafcku]

Oh, that's Taako's specialty, dooon't worry haha. Looking forward to seeing you around!

[padadin]

Hooray! Welcome, welcome! Hope you have fun here with us!

[sinistral]

Thank you for suggesting it in the first place! Looking forward to getting these two idiots talking, mwahaha.

[unbearablynaive]

Hello hello! I'm Anarin, I play this poor traumatized android and also a Destiny OC. Looking forward to having you in the game!

Did you want to keep the TDM thread as game canon or start fresh?

[sinistral]

Hello! I am definitely enjoying your poor traumatized android and I'll have to fling Buck at your other character too, this will be a blast.

As far as the TDM, I'm fine with either one! I'll totally continue the thread if you're digging it as a first meeting, otherwise we can do a different thing.

[unbearablynaive]

First meeting sounds good! Hopefully he won't scare the man off too badly, haha.

[sinistral]

Well they're not fighting, that's always a good sign...

[goldenglasses]

Hell yeah! Vash is always pumped to get more people into the cool metal arm club! Welcome to DriftFleet! I hope you have a great time!

[sinistral]

Metal arm club is the best club, hands down. Get it? Hands? Hahaha ha haa...

Okay yes I'll show myself out.

[goldenglasses]

Noooo! Come back! I thought it was very Punny!

[sinistral]

Flings self into your waiting arms~

[goldenglasses]

With arms wide open, under some star's light. Welcome to this place!

[sinistral]

♥!

[coinstability]

Welcome to the game, Cat! I'm Essie and I play Thor from the MCU, and Connor from Detroit. Looks like Connor and Bucky will be shipmates so looking forward to playing with you!

[sinistral]

Hi Essie! I'm excited to meet you. Shipmates should be awesome, I'm really looking forward to it! (And to harassing Thor of course).
