[ So here's Bucky, with his pale face and dark hair, treating this thing like it's a walkie-talkie and not a laptop. ]

Awhile back— it must've been months ago— someone told me the UE was mixing up people's minds. Erasing them. Filling them up with lies and propaganda.

The person who told me that is gone, now. A lot of people are gone now. So I wanna know if anyone else had intel on this.

[ He pauses, and presses his lips together. He looks like he's gonna say something for a while, before he says it. ]

Yeah, if you need to know, I want to stop 'em. [ He smiles when he says that last bit, white as something out of the reels. ]

Oh man, they totally were! What were they thinking?

( She shakes her head, incredulous.

... They might have wanted the fight, just as he says. Well, they must have, or else why be that dumb? Still! )

[kneecaptain]

Like I said, they were asking for it.

… But that's not how Major Phillips saw it.

[whatsupcroc]

( She groans, either sympathetic or understanding of how it is to be caught out by authority figures who saw things in a distinctly different light than you did. )

How bad did it get laid on you?

[kneecaptain]

They shipped me out of the country.

[whatsupcroc]

... Okay, that's definitely -- big. Um. Where to?

[kneecaptain]

England.

But we might be getting into classified territory.

[whatsupcroc]

Awwh, man!

( She thinks that's a little silly, really, regardless of how serious or factual he's being. )

Does that even have to apply across worlds? Phooey!

[kneecaptain]

Loose lips sink ships.

[whatsupcroc]

So do torpedoes!

[kneecaptain]

This is all way off-topic.

[whatsupcroc]

Hey, this time it wasn't just my fault!

[kneecaptain]

Wasn't blaming anybody.

[whatsupcroc]

Just pointing out we're both equal parties to this terrible tangent train.

( Heh. )

[kneecaptain]

That's not on topic either, y'know.

[whatsupcroc]

It's beginning to be a habit!

[kneecaptain]

Maybe there's stuff you don't wanna talk about.

[whatsupcroc]

I think everyone has stuff like that. You, me, anyone who replied here, Transports, Initiative, and Exiles alike. Who shares everything about themselves?

[kneecaptain]

Well. You know. People on the youtube.

[whatsupcroc]

People on what?

[kneecaptain]

It's a—

You don't have youtube?

[ he is mostly impressed with himself for knowing what youtube is ]

[whatsupcroc]

Never even heard of it. What's it supposed to be?

[kneecaptain]

It's… it's videos. On the internet. People take pictures of everything.

[ You can tell he finds this a bit bewildering and vulgar. ]

[whatsupcroc]

The internet must get really weird after the 90's... that'd take forever to load!

[kneecaptain]

Not really. Unless you've got a crappy phone.

[ Hmmm. ]

You're from the 90s?

[whatsupcroc]

You mean those phones people kept trying to tell me are so cool? Gabriel gave me his, when he was here.

( She shrugs. )

Yeah, I'm pulled from 1997.
