[It's not the same as before where he'd woken up with a light breeze on his skin causing his too-long hair to dance across his forehead, and the sweet, dry smell of fruit trees. No, it's blue light and too much wind. There's nothing normal about that. The communication device strapped to his hand is cold. Bucky's used to not remembering things, but the long hall and unfamiliar faces tell him something's off. There's a million explanations going through his mind and none of them make any sense except one and he doesn't want to think about that.

Bucky goes through the motions. Steels himself while he's checked out. Signs the contract. Lets someone take him to his room and then walks the halls. Now back in his room, he clicks on the MID. His face is half-hidden and voice low. He wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't necessary. He's combed every inch of this goddamn ship and he can't find Steve anywhere.]

I'm looking for someone. Tall. Blond. Loves America.

[It's risky to put it out there. He doesn't know these people and trust isn't something he gives easily. But he needs to find someone he remembers. Someone from Wonderland. Someone from back home. Everything is muddled and this place looks like something his mind has made up.]

His name's Steve.

[There's a brief pause.]

If someone could tell me what the hell's going on here, I'd appreciate it.

[The feed cuts off.]

[ooc: this bucky is a crau from another game. he thinks that he never left his previous game world and that it is during an 'event'. i'm so sorry if he confuses anyone.]

Pleasure, Rey.

[He'd promised to be friendlier. To put effort into forming new relationships and he'd give that his all. Bucky doesn't know if he'll be successful, especially not in a place like this - not with everything that's going on.]

Are you alright?

[oh boy does she want to lie. rey isn't good at letting her emotions through. it had never been a good idea on jakku, and it hadn't done much to help her here. she's having flashbacks of breaking down in front of han about his death. she isn't about to repeat that debacle.
except rey isn't good at lying, only deflecting.]

How is this happening?

You must know the other Bucky.

[It's the only explanation that makes any sense to him. He suddenly feels guilty about making a post when so many people are mistaking him for someone else.]

I don't know. Not really sure what's happening myself.

[she wants to say that there's only one bucky to know--but clearly that is no longer the case. her mind can't wrap itself around this information. but she has to try. she cares about bucky and even if this isn't the bucky she knows, he's still kind of a part of her friend, right? it's what she tells herself, at least.]

Yeah. Nobody does I guess.

Sorry for the trouble, Rey.

[A part of him says not to apologize, he doesn't hold responsibility for this. It's not something else he should carry on his shoulders, but he does feel guilty. He doesn't like that he's hurting people just by being himself.]

[she takes a deep breath. she knows it isn't his fault, that would be ridiculous. nobody can choose who they are. after a few moments, she shakes her head.]

No, no it's alright. This is just--strange.

I'd understand if you don't want me around. That'd it'd be too weird.

no
no that's stupid
let's just try this again

i'm rey

I’m James Barnes. Call me Bucky.
Nice to meet you.

yeah nice to meet you too
can i just
call you james?

[Bucky, though he’s not trying to complicate things further, can’t let this place take away who he’s fought so hard to remember. Himself.]

It’s Bucky, please.

[He sighs.]

Why don’t you give me a nickname of your own? It’ll just be ours.

[knowing what she does about his counterpart, she gets it. and she feels guilty for asking in the first place. but his suggestion is fair, she thinks.]

never been good at that kind of thing
but i can try to find one

[He feels bad for asking. It should be simple to take on his own name, something other than Bucky, but it's too much too soon here.]

as long as it's not jimmy, i'm sure it'll be fine.

i don't think i could ever call anyone jimmy
so don't worry about that
