Hey. I've been here for a little while and I'll be the first to admit, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I know they've got me living down in Shantytown for now but I've got to get a job if I'm gonna keep surviving out here and I guess this is a combination job application and general "explain this place because I wanna get out of it."

( Bucky isn't the sort to complain about accommodations and he doesn't care about being in Shantytown over anywhere else - he can sleep anywhere - but he definitely cares about having a job. He's not the kinda guy to sit idle and he definitely doesn't want to make a living stealing and living hand-to-mouth like he had to in Romania. He had a good thing going in New York and now it looks like it's been ripped away from him. It wouldn't be the first time - the Blip is not something anyone can forget - but it's the first time he's living it. )

Anyone got any advice or am I flying solo?

Natasha? Didn't expect to see you here. I figured the job would be easier than getting out. Making a jailbreak is always a pain in the ass.

[iwasrussian]

So you do remember me. Wasn't sure if you would.

But yeah, there are plenty of people doing what they can to get out. [ Clint being one of them. ] I can help with getting you out of Shantytown if you want, though. I have a place at the Tower if you want it. Second floor.

Probably be nicer than where I am now but I don't wanna impose. If you're offering it and you don't mind, I'll take the place.

As far as getting out of here...I'm willing to join a team effort.

[iwasrussian]

I'm over on Chicory now, so it's empty. You wouldn't be imposing. Do you want to meet me over there and I can show it to you and give you the keys?

[ostavil]

Yeah, that sounds great. I can head over now and meet you so you don't have to wait on me so long? Hate to keep you from what is probably a busy schedule.

[iwasrussian]

I am about as free as you are these days. I'll see you there in fifteen minutes.

( As long as his stride is and as fast as he can move, it doesn't take Bucky long to get over to Chicory to meet Natasha. She's easy to spot, too, with all that red hair and he tosses her a quick wave. )

Long time no see, Romanoff.

[iwasrussian]

[ She approaches casually with a big smile and gives him a nod. ]

Hey, stranger. Decided to cut the hair, eh? Looks good. Bet it's easier to manage.

[ Natasha is teasing of course. She hasn't seen him without the mane, so she can't resist the playful comment. ]

[ostavil]

Yeah. It was getting hard to handle, you know? Always on your neck, gotta use half a bottle of shampoo to wash it...it was just time to change.

I bet I look less homeless with a haircut too. You'd have to be the judge of that, though.
