[Hey there, new friend. Guess who made you a present and then totally forgot to deliver it until just now! It's late, but Charlie's all fired up from exploring cool tunnel stuff and it's not like he can sleep anyway, so he's hoping Bucky is up too. By now, Charlie knows that Bucky is not much for small talk, so Charlie just links a video he recorded for him back when he was at the school.]

@username; video

[advanced]

[He doesn't often use video, but this is an exception. He's not sleeping, he rarely sleeps if he can help it, and so the link comes through at once. It's-- amazing. Not so much the playing, though he's obviously a good pianist, but that Charlie thought of him enough to go to this much effort for him.

He's smiling at his end of the video link, expression soft in a way it very seldom is.]

I'd applaud, but I can't.

[One handed clapping is just silly.]

...Thank you.

[mightyratslayer]

[Video? Whaaat? That's unexpected, and Charlie appreciates it. He likes seeing people when he talks to them. When he turns his own video on, he's smiling, too.]

'Course, man. Music's good for the soul, especially music from home.

[He hasn't forgotten what Watson said a few days back. Charlie is helping!]

You doing alright?

[advanced]

Yeah.

[The smile is already fading, but it leaves behind something more peaceful than his usual scowl.]

I'm with the others now, that's as safe as I can make things.

[mightyratslayer]

Natasha and Clint, right? Nice, nice. It's sweet that you got friends here. They're pretty cool.

[It's probably not all that sweet, but it's good that there are people who know how to handle him. That is the sweet part.]

I've been doing recon stuff for Natasha. I mean, I'm helping her. She's not my boss or anything.

[advanced]

What are you helping her with?

[He likes Charlie well enough, but he doesn't think the man is particularly perceptive, what recon could he be doing for Natasha?]

[mightyratslayer]

Like, exploring the town and stuff for that guide she put together. You know, looking for cards and checking out doors and other suspicious crap like that. I found a couple of doors on the south side of the residential area, but no dice on opening 'em. [He shrugs, a little bummed about his failures there. He's been trying really hard but doesn't have a lot to show for it just yet.]

Me and Charles and Quark are in the Pass now. Gonna check out some kind of pit thing that Hange told us about. We got a little turned around and ended up going north instead of south, so whoops, but we found this weird snow wall that kind of came apart when we messed with it. I figure there might be something behind it, y'know? We're gonna dig at it some more tomorrow.

[advanced]

[Oh no, that's where they're heading as well. He might need to break away from everyone when they reach the pass, because he knows there's a lot of people around those areas.]

Be careful you don't get trapped by falling snow or caught out overnight.

[Not that he's concerned.]

Let me know if you find anything.

[mightyratslayer]

Yeah, don't worry, man. We'll be careful. Same goes to you, huh? Especially with only having one hand and all. But, uhh, yeah! You keep me updated too.

[Thumbs up, Bucky! They are bros now.]

And get some sleep, okay?

[advanced]

[He's not going to get some sleep, he rarely sleeps, but he's not about to say that now.

In fact, he doesn't say anything. That sounded like a goodbye to him, so he'll just hang up because actually saying goodbye is for other people.]
