day 0, afternoon

[robopriest]

Hey, if it isn't my over-worked friend.

[Says the priest, walking up - he's got something in his hand, it looks like, but its small enough not to be seen. He's got his goodie bag over his shoulder, and he waves with his free hand.]

I was looking for you. I actually have something. A little gift, from me to you. Want to know what it is?

[frostythehitman]

[ He raises an eyebrow. Bucky has always been too curious for his own damn good, even to his own detriment. ]

Well when you put it like that, of course I do.

[robopriest]

Here. Catch.

[Just tosses it over!]

[It's the little bottle of alcohol from the goodie bag.]

I thought you needed it more than me.

[frostythehitman]

[ He catches the bottle and once he takes a look and processes what exactly it is he's holding, he can't help but bark out a laugh. ]

You know, you're not the first person to tell me that.

w0, day 4

[robopriest]

Ah.

[Someone is out sitting on a bench - its Hansa, drinking from a water bottle. He lifts it up as if in cheers when he sees Bucky.]

Nothing like fighting a bear to get your spirits up. [Huffs!] How was your day?

[frostythehitman]

Well, I didn't fight a bear.

You seem to be in pretty high spirits for someone who did, though.

[robopriest]

Oh, but you fought something?

[He laughs.]

Of course I'm in high spirits. I haven't fought a bear since I was a kid. It's kind of nostalgic.

[is he]

[is he being serious]

w1, wednesday

[frostythehitman]

[ Vezda is just chillin' in his PJs in the weird new pod thing when he spots Hansa returning from their little shower area fully clothed. Like he's coming back from a stroll outside and not the shower. ]

Why do you do that?

[robopriest]

Hm?

[Well, its been interesting having Bucky - excuse him, Vezda - as a roommate. Cater at least could accept the "weirdo" part of him, but this man? He's nosy, for sure. Hansa stops in place, grinning over at the other man.]

Do what? You really have to be specific.

[frostythehitman]

[ Look. He's not nosy, per se, and COULD very well leave the man alone to his business. But that's less fun. ]

Come out of the shower fully dressed every time! You know the modesty police aren't around, right?

w2, sunday

[frostythehitman]

[ He approaches Hansa along the bridge after the execution. ]

Well. At least we didn't have any nasty surprises this time.

[ aside from the crocodile. ]

[robopriest]

True. I'm glad for that.

[He does NOT want a repeat of Jeanne. Hansa lets out a sigh, though. It's hard to feel any kind of happiness over this.]

How are you holding up?

[frostythehitman]

Me?

[ The question takes him aback a little because like. He's cool as a cucumber right now. At least compared to last week. ]

I'm just peachy. Or, as peachy as can be when everyone keeps murdering each other.

[ so, y'know. peachy. ]

w3, sunday

[frostythehitman]

[ so whenever Vezda gets the chance to catch Hansa after that wild ass mess, he'll just. quietly slide over the tiny bottle of vodka to him. yeah, remember that thing?? it's still here, unopened and full! ]

Here. You probably need that more than I do, at this point.

[robopriest]

...You really kept it?

[He's honestly surprised, looking from the bottle to Vezda as he picks it up.]

Wow, and here I thought all this chaos would get you to drink it.

[frostythehitman]

[ shrugs ]

The pub last week made it unnecessary. And then I stocked up.

[ he nods at the bottle ]

I've got more where that came from, too.

week 4, wednesday morning

[robopriest]

[Well, aren't these bubbles troublesome? Hansa is grumbling as he tries to avoid them, twisting out of the way of them, before he suddenly turns - right into you!]

Oh! Oh, sorry, I-

[And then a bubble pops against you - and a memory suddenly appears, featuring a boy with a characteristic mole under his left eye that might seem familiar...]

[And when that's done, Hansa just lets out a groan.]

...Really?

[frostythehitman]

...Well that's a hell of a conversation starter.

Is this what you were talking about when you mentioned fighting a bear?

[robopriest]

[He shrugs - apparently he's not really that upset about this memory?]

Yeah. I had to fight them to survive as a kid.

week 4 post trial

[robopriest]

[...............]

[He had a feeling this would happen.]

[He almost has a thought to avoid speaking to Bucky, but...he deserves it, he thinks. Especially after everything, after a long and pointless trial that led them nowhere.]

[Hansa approaches the cell, his expression serious as he looks at the man, silent for a moment, before he heaves a sigh.]

...I'm sorry we put you into this situation.

[frostythehitman]

[ Vezda gives him a Look, because like, yeah, Hansa and his bf did raise a huge stink about his injuries being suspicious, and even if those were cleared, it brought the spotlight on him long enough to make him the prime suspect.

But also like. He's about to die. He's trapped behind a barrier and will continue to be until he's dead. He can't do anything about it, and even if he could, it wouldn't change anything, and--

He doesn't want to spend his last night being mad at a friend. ]

Eh, it was bound to happen at some point or another. You know enough ways to kill a person, you'll get blamed for it sooner or later, right?

[robopriest]

If that was true, I would be in the spotlight many times over. Though vampires and such things aren't really "people".

[He shrugs his shoulders back.]

But either way...the evidence with your arm convinced me that it wasn't you. I'm just sorry that people latched onto it since we had nothing else. You really didn't deserve that.

week 7 friday

[robopriest]

[Hello, fellow cyborg! Don't mind this cyborg in gym clothes walking up, his mouth open wide in a grin.]

Well, well, well. Vezda! Or should I say...Bucky?

[frostythehitman]

[ Well, damn. He can't deny that he missed his name--the real one. He can't help but grin a little. ]

Bucky's fine.

What's with the outfit?

[robopriest]

Great to hear it.

[And a shrug.]

Oh, you know, became a teenager again, ran a relay race in high school, you know how it is.
