OVERFLOW — closed / bucky barnes.

( she laughs, a sound that's muffled by the wind whipping around them, and grips tightly to the hand in hers as they trudge forward into the white. the gear the natha had been kind enough to bequeath unto the passengers was certainly doing its part; at least, her feet hadn't frozen clean off with each step into the thick drifts of snow. she's glad for that, if anything. )

I think the closest I've gotten to experience is a snowglobe I got and then immediately broke.

( she doesn't sound too sad about it. the snowglobe had been pretty ugly. )

Foster family number six ended pretty quick after that. Maybe this is my karmic reward.

[lednikovyy]

For breaking a snowglobe?

[ He shakes his head and almost snorts in disbelief. ]

Nah, if there was any karma in the world, neither of us would be here.

[ She'd be somewhere a hell of a lot better if that's the worst she's got and he'd be somewhere even worse if he was anywhere at all. That he's got any sort of second chance at all in life basically disproves karma in his eyes. ]

[evite]

Oh, no — ( that's just round one ) — for, I don't know, almost letting my mom sacrifice the majority population of Earth to fuel her victim complex?

( it's still weird to talk about jianying as her mom. she can really only do it under cover of sarcasm, where the words don't feel quite as real. )

The snowglobe's just topical. Because... ( vague gesturing at their surroundings ) I mean, obviously.

[lednikovyy]

Oh, yeah, obviously.

[ He tries not to ask, because he's got a lot of stuff he doesn't want to answer questions about. He really does try, but-- ]

Okay, I'm sorry, but what exactly did your mom do?

[ And if he has to pause is steps to ask the question, eyebrows furrowed, then he just does. ]

[evite]

It's a long story.

( which isn't to say that she won't tell it. it's just that the phrase tends to be an opportunity for people who don't really care to say 'oh no, that's okay' and back out of the conversation. a long story tends to be an emotional one, and daisy knows all too well that most people just don't give a shit about other people's emotions.

but bucky, for whatever reason, seems to actually want to know. he stops, he looks at her, and there's a bit of confusion evident in his face — but there's patience, too, as he waits for her to elaborate. so, she does. )

She tried to declare war. Or, no, she did technically declare war but the war sort of... stopped, I guess, when she died.

( how do you cliff notes somebody as fucked up as jiaying? )

Have you ever heard of Inhumans?

[lednikovyy]

[ These days, Bucky's a lot more comfortable listening than talking. He used to like people a lot. He thinks he still does, but he's not exactly looking to share his own story. ]

No. I've been living under a rock for a while.

[ Seventy years, give or take. ]

Missed some things when I was out of the loop. Is that something I should have heard of?

[ He doesn't remember another war, but who knows what kind of weird shit has been covered up? Weird shit like Bucky himself, for example. ]
