[network] @username; text; night 164 [open]

[advanced]

[It's all over.

He's almost glad that he has John and his grief to focus on right now, because otherwise his paranoia would be burning a hole through his head. His username is out there, linked with his real name, linked even with photographs. They're public, anyone can see them, so many people already have. He has to do something about this, stop people from coming after him. Not that he doesn't deserve their anger, or their revenge, but it will just lead to more people getting hurt.

There's only one thing to do.

He can feel fear twisting in his gut as he picks up the tablet and sends out probably one of the shortest messages that's been broadcast.]

My name is Bucky Barnes. I'm not safe to be around. Stay away from me.

Comments

[advanced]

Other people shared my name. Username too.

No point lying any more.

[majorlazer]

but if people didn't you'd keep going like you weren't dangerous? Cool cool

at least the others around don't pretend they're good guys

[advanced]

I never pretended that.

I just tried to stay away, now people might hunt for me, I had to warn them.

[majorlazer]

what have you done

Why do you think anyone will hunt you?

[advanced]

I killed two people, I beat two others nearly to death.

[majorlazer]

considering what you're saying now....


......why?

[advanced]

That's not your business. All you need to know is to stay away.

[majorlazer]

oh, you're one of those guys

[The ones that think their secrets are all-important. There are a few of you around town.

Zach's got it, honestly. This Bucky guy is just being kind of a drama queen.]

well, you enjoy your life of loneliness, Bucky Barnes. I'm sure that's not going to end badly at all.

[advanced]

[This was a knee jerk reaction, and probably an absolutely terrible decision in retrospect, but frightened people make dumb calls.

He doesn't bother to respond again, just hanging up.]
