[ when bucky dozes off, he finds himself standing in a slightly fuzzy, completely blank space, and... he's not alone!

aquila's there. they've got a plum blossom corsage wrapped around their wrist, but otherwise look the same as normal, and they give a little wave. ]

Barnes. Trying to be friendlier, now?

[frostythehitman]

What gave you that impression?

[ i mean. yes, he is, but WHY ARE YOU COMMENTING ON IT ]

[guestservices]

[ you can't see their face, but you might have the feeling they raised an eyebrow. ]

Is it wrong?

[frostythehitman]

...not necessarily.

[guestservices]

Great start. Could start with a "hey, how are you", next. Really sell it.

[frostythehitman]

Alright, then, fine. Hey, how are you?

[guestservices]

Pretty good, now.

[

they sound

terribly amused. at least it's just in kind of the shitty playful way. ] You?

[frostythehitman]

Well, I'm dead again, so. [ kind of self-evident, tbh. ]

..."now"?

[guestservices]

Oh, yeah, your company, just cheered me right up.

[ cheerfully, and probably full of bullshit, but that's okay. ]

And yeah! Hey, being dead's not that bad.

[frostythehitman]

[ okay, ya got him. he huffs a sarcastic little laugh. ]

Yeah? You been dead before?

[guestservices]

Might be dead now.

[ they shrug. ]

[frostythehitman]

...for real?

[guestservices]

Maybe!

[ they hold out their hands and wiggle their fingers. ] Go on, touch.

[frostythehitman]

[ t

touches? ]

[guestservices]

[ even through the gloves, their hands are very cold. ]

[frostythehitman]

...huh. Okay.

You could just be made of ice or something, though. If we're both dead, wouldn't we both be cold? [ instead of, y'know, a severe enough temperature difference that Bucky can feel their coldness in particular ]

[guestservices]

What am I, a table decoration?

[ snort. they pull their hands back. ] My dead's a little different, probably. How's being dead suiting you?

[frostythehitman]

[ shrugs a little ] Nothing new.

[guestservices]

Making the most of it, maybe?

[frostythehitman]

I don't know if I'm "making" anything. But so far it's better than the last time.

[guestservices]

Maybe. Maybe, you could try making something?

[frostythehitman]

Making something? What, like arts and crafts?

[guestservices]

Sure. Or, Iunno. Spruce up the house a little bit? Make it yours.

[frostythehitman]

Why?

[ he is so deeply confused by this concept ]

[guestservices]

Beeecaaause you're there, so you might as well make the best of it and not just sulk around?
