[He looks slightly nervous. He still... doesn't do this talking thing well, and he doesn't really see the point of introducing himself to everyone. Making himself known to the entire network... showing his face on a recorded device... he's not supposed to, and it's just a bad idea for an assassin but...

But Steve said he should, so... well. He is.]

...hello.

[He swallows, his gaze flickering off to the side, where, unseen to the camera, Steve is nodding and giving him a thumbs up.]

I'm... Bucky.

[He hesitates when he says it, because... it's the first time he's said it. That he can remember.]

I was told I've been here before, but I don't remember.

[He frowns.]

So I'm sorry. If you knew me before. I don't remember you.

[He glances over to the side again, shifts, shakes his head. He's done, he doesn't want to do this anymore.]

That's it.

[He nods once, but doesn't look convinced. He's forgotten so many things.

Or been made to forget.

It doesn't really matter. He can't remember. That's what matters.]

[snipers]

[ ah, she sees that look, bucky! and she's trying to be as understanding as she can. ]

I'm sure they won't mind if you asked, if you were ever curious about something.

[wipedclean]

[Well he knows Steve would tell him anything he asked, but the problem is that he doesn't know what to ask. He can't just ask him to tell him everything... there's too much he's forgotten.]

I know.

[snipers]

So if you can, just take it one day at a time. [ that's sssorta what she's doing, even if she's aware that their circumstances are totally different. it's still something to keep in mind. ] This place is so overwhelming, so it's important not to work yourself up about every little thing.

[wipedclean]

[It's... good advice, honestly. He's just not sure how capable he is of taking it.

Still, he nods. She's being... thoughtful. Nice.]

I... I'll try.

[snipers]

[ she nods, because that's all anyone can ask of him. ]

Are you hungry? I can see if there's something in the kitchen I can make for everyone.

[ yukari this isn't your house you don't need to act like the hostess. ]

[wipedclean]

[His brow furrows and he tilts his head.]

If you want.

[He's not... particularly hungry, but he'll eat.]

[snipers]

[ another nod. it's something to do, a little normalcy in this world of Crazy they've all been dropped into. ]

Hey, it's no problem. [ she just hopes she won't... burn it... ] I'll find Junpei, make sure he's not doing anything stupid, and get started. You can join us if you want, if you're not doing anything else.

[wipedclean]

Okay.

[Maybe he will go to the kitchen, he's not... doing anything right now. And hell, he is good with knives. He might as well put that to use.]
