Network Prompts
ONE: A LONG WALK HOME
You wake up at 6AM when lockdown ends, cold and tired, like you've been walking miles in the snow. But that's normal, isn't it? What isn't normal is your surroundings. You're in a new building, maybe one you've never seen before, or one you know is far, far away from where you were the night before when you fell asleep. If you were traveling with someone, you notice, also, that you are alone. There's no telling where your traveling companion could be.
When you check the network, you notice that @ADMIN has left a message.
Surveillance encountered an error shortly after 8PM last night and was out of order until shortly after 6AM. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Whether or not you're confused or concerned about the message, maybe a post to the network will help you re-orient yourself.
TWO: GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE...
Seems you've found a rather valuable commodity. Something like alcohol, tea, coffee, cigarettes, or perhaps even something medical. Whatever you've found, you have no real interest in it, yourself. But you know that there's a market for it, and you see the opportunity to turn this into a win-win situation. You're not physically around anyone that you know of, so you propose a network-wide trade. And whoever makes the sweetest deal can be the proud owner of their craved luxury.
Action Prompts
THREE: A SYMPHONY OF SOUND
You and your traveling companion thought that the house you decided to stop in for the night seemed normal enough. But lockdown hits, as it does every night, and things start to get strange. Soft sounds of crying; children crying, parents crying, screaming for their own safety. Maybe it's just the sound of the wind rushing so hard through the rubble you fear the ceiling will collapse. Maybe it's your own voice whispering to you to do awful things. Whatever the noise is, it's too much for you to fall asleep, coming to eerie crescendos and ebbing in volume at entirely irregular intervals. Looks like you and whoever you're with are in for a long night.
FOUR: IN DUE TIME
After a grueling day of travel, you and your companion finally come across safe shelter. And it seems to be a nice house, too, with a working fireplace and everything. The only strange part is that you aren't alone--but the other people in the house don't seem to be aware of you. In fact, they don't seem to be aware of anything; they're frozen in time, unmoving, unblinking, not even breathing. They can be touched, but they can't be moved. No matter how hard you try, they're rooted to the spot. They seem to be like you, weighed down with heavy winter wear and backpacks, not like the nondescript shadowy people that wander the town.
Oh well. They're probably harmless, and it isn't like you have time to find a different place to stay.

It's also complete nonsense.
Of all the people Bucky might hurt, Steve was the most likely. He was the target, the last one, if anyone might trigger a residual return to the Soldier then it would be him. And if the Soldier did come out, then Steve would be his primary focus.
He didn't even dignify that statement with a reply. He just stared at Steve with cold, hard eyes.]

You could've let me drown. That's what the Winter Soldier would've done. The Winter Soldier would've finished the job. You pulled me out of the water.
...You know me, Buck. I'm not your enemy.
[Unclear at the end there if he's telling, or pleading. Little of column A, little of column B.]
no subject
[It comes out as a shout. It's unintentional, he had only meant to say it firmly as a warning, but somehow it rips from him loud and fierce. He doesn't want to hear what the Winter Soldier would or would not have done, because Steve has no idea. He doesn't understand.
His every muscle is taut as if ready for a fight.
I'm with you 'til the end of the line, pal.]
Just because I didn't kill you last time, it doesn't mean I won't next time. You can't trust me.
~how about I do, anyway~
...I do trust you.
[Seriously did you just try to tell Steve Rogers he 'can't' do something, you should know better.]
no subject
[His name, so familiar and easy, slips out without thought. He's closer to Bucky than the Soldier, he's been working that way for months now, but it's an imperfect transition.]
So you sure as hell shouldn't either.
