[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.]

he won't listen to me.

[Bucky isn't this Steve's Bucky, the one that was here first is. He gets the feeling, very distinctly, that if it came down to choosing, the other would take priority. He's not sure how he feels about that, but it's hard to be upset when there's a Steve back in Wonderland that would do the same for him.]

i'm not the bucky he knows. i might come with you. where are you going?

[ there's something sad in that, knowing this bucky has the same memories of the man, the same fierce adoration and commitment, but his existence is made a moot point simply by there being another. how jealous had v5 of miray been of v7 when he'd told her about alva's future with her? being the same person, in mind, hardly makes you receptive of the same benefits. or sorrows. ]

anywhere that's not here. somewhere we can figure out where we are and how they got us here so we can use it to get back home. if the tech exists here, it'll exist somewhere else too. that's just how progress works.

you know how to fly a space ship?

no.

[Bucky's experience wasn't limited when it came to Earth crafts, but a space ship? Yeah, he's not sure if that's the same. He's no defeatist, though, so he's willing to give it a shot.]

point me in the right direction and i'll see if i can. when are you leaving?

soon as i can get my people together and moving. meet me at the flight deck in 20.

[ that should be enough time. he knows where alva is, and collecting val shouldn't be much of a problem. they all know to move their asses when the houses are involved. there's a moment of pause, before a second transmission is sent through. ]

i'm trusting you right now because i know the other bucky iteration's a good man and i'm hoping that part's in you too. betray that, and you're not just hurting me, but you're hurting the people i call family too.

if that happens, so fucking help me, i'll rip that metal bat fused onto your shoulder straight off your body and shove it so far up your ass if comes out your mouth if it's the last thing i do. got it?

[Bucky’s head is a mess. He doesn’t know where he is or what’s going on, but he does know one thing. He can’t go anywhere without Steve and a few others. If any say they can’t go, he won’t either.]

yeah, I get all that. I’m not going to do anything to hurt or betray you and yours.
But if you’re going tonight, I can’t come.

[He can’t leave without Steve. Not if there’s a chance that this is his best friend.]

[ he figures it's something to do with steve. andyr doesn't want steve staying here either, nor does he want to leave him, but. house family comes first, always. ]

can't risk waiting. sorry.
good luck.

tell steve i said im sorry

at least talk to him and tell him face to face that you're sorry.

[It might seem shitty of him, but Bucky thinks talking to Steve will help.]

maybe

[ which means no. he can't risk having to fight steve over it. ]

[That feels like a no but Bucky's not surprised. Steve's stubborn and if he gets going, well.. Andyr probably knows by now.]

think about it?

i will

[ he already knows he won't change his mind, but he'll dwell on it. maybe hate himself for it for the rest of his life. but all in all, it's what's safe for the lot of them, and that makes it the final decision. ]
