Seems like there's been a lot going on during the couple of months since I got here - good things. New ideas, beginnings. I've also had the pleasure of talking to several of you who've been here for awhile yourselves. Most have talked about Keeliai like it's home now.

[Steve smiles at that word, but there's something almost sad about it. 'Home' will always be a complicated subject for him.]

I just celebrated my first birthday here, but I think it might take a bit longer to feel that way to me. I do have an idea that I think might help. I wanted to talk to those of you who've opened businesses here, get some advice. I have an idea for something, and a heck of a partner, but I haven't exactly amassed a fortune. [Where's a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist when you need one. He sighs, but when the little bird nearby starts to sing, his spirits are lifted again.] As much as going in debt goes against my better judgment, it's an option I'm willing to consider to get the ball rolling. The question is, is there any place that even gives loans to Foreigners?

Until then, if anyone needs some one-on-one training, I've got the time for it. Unless you'd rather be trained by the three-time YMCA welterweight boxing champ.

[He knows you used to pull your punches, Barnes. Steve doubts that he will the next time. His smile turns a little bit sly before he ends the feed.]

For loans, check with Aroyan at the Merchants' Guild - he gave my my loan to start up the Golden Koi. He's pretty fair, and willing to help us Foreigners out.

I don't know if I have a lot of advice I could give, but I'm willing to try.

Where do I get a deep fryer?

[ bucky grouches

and that's just the first of all the things he needs to talk to you about, you little shit ]

Dumb question, but what's welterweight boxing?

Home is such a complicated term...but it's good to hear some citizens feel comfortable in the city. If you are opening a business maybe contacting the Merchants' Guild it's worth trying.

And happy late birthday. Who's your singing friend? I can't say I've seen birds like those before.

Thanks, I might just do that.

The Golden Koi?

Fried food does taste a lot better than boiled. What're we frying?

That thing singing at you.

It just shat on me.

There's no such thing as a dumb question. Are you familiar with boxing at all?

[Oh. Oh no. Must not smile. Steve quickly lifts his hand to his mouth and pretends to clear his throat.]

You mean Sam? [That's right, he named it.] I'm sure it was an accident.

[ YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE, STEVE. ]

You named the thing I'm going to fry? It waited until I was right there before it let go.

[ And whaddya know, Sam starts singing again. ]

You're the second person to recommend that, so I'm thinking it must be a good place to start.

Thanks. And I call him Sam. He's just been hanging around the last day or so. Birds generally don't have horns where I'm from either.

Speaking of, where're you from?

Don't you think you're overreacting? Why would he have anything against you? He's just a little bird.

[It even flies to Steve's finger. Make room, Sleeping Beauty, the newest Disney Princess has arrived.]

It has a lot of shit for a little bird.

[ YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, HE'S TALKING ABOUT YOU. Tbh the newest Disney Princess is definitely prettier than all the others. ]

Did you just volunteer me to beat people up?

I might have fed him a lot of leftover pancakes - you didn't want them, right?

[No he didn't. They're right where Bucky left them, complete with his little "eat and die (unless you're steve)" note.]

Train them. There's a difference. No one's going to come to a gym after you've already knocked their teeth out.

No, you didn't.

[ The look Bucky gives Steve strongly suggests that he's on to him -- also because he'd just finished up the pancakes that even Steve hadn't touched.

He pauses, taking in Steve's chipper mood, quietly noting that he hasn't seen him this pleased before. ] Do you need me to come down?

[ Since they're partners and all. He doesn't want Steve to be the one doing all the heavy lifting. ]

Edited 2016-07-11 01:16 (UTC)

Sure.

[And this is why he looks so pleased. He might be starting fresh in a strange world, but hasn't he done that before? At least this time he has Bucky with him, and that's something even his own world hasn't given him yet.]

And I promise, I won't let Sam - well, you know.

So that's why you were asking about the Dojo.

What's 'welterweight'?

[ the stupid bird is chirruping like he's taunting bucky through the camera, and bucky gives the bird a look

the bird looks back beadily ]

Are you really sure we can't eat it?

[ But he's already moving; he's out of the frame here and there, getting ready, and it's clear from the screen that he's on his way to meeting Steve. This is still weird, really weird, but Bucky doesn't care. Steve is here, and Steve is the one thing keeping Bucky from really going off the rails, and that has to be enough. ]

Not at all.

Happy birthday! What sort of cake do you prefer? What're you gonna do for business?

If they honour their name they should be able to give you a few tips at least.

[Poe gives him a friendly smile, it comes easily to him.]

Sam's a beautiful thing but I might be a little biased when it comes to anything related to the sky, pilot and all.

I'm from Yavin IV, it's one of Yavi's moons, but I'm human. Name's Poe Dameron, pleasure to meet you.

[He's just singing, Bucky. Birds do that. Or at least that's what Steve would say.]

He wouldn't even make a good mouthful for you.

[He knows not the intense rivalry that has started up between man and beast...bird. Steve waits for him, familiar enough with the city by now to recognize where Bucky was and know about how long it'll take him to reach him.]

[ That is a demon bird that Bucky will deep fry once you look away, Steve. What kind of a bird had horns, anyway?

He meets up with him in minutes, hands in his pockets, and blithely ignoring the bird, who seems to have made his home on Steve's shoulder. ]

Where are we going?

It was. It made me think that it might be possible.

It's a weight class in boxing, between 140 and 147 pounds.

Thanks. And don't worry about a cake, there wouldn't be one big enough to hold all the candles anyway.

I was thinking about a boxing gym. We had one in my old neighborhood.
