Characters: Stephen, Peter, Bucky, and Steph
Location: The area that once contained building 279
Date: Morning 265
Summary: This building is pining for the fjords
Warnings: Mass confusion

[279: THIS BUILDING DOES NOT EXIST.

This looks like any place in Norfinbury that doesn't have anything there: just empty snow and rubble. When a person tries to traverse it, they will realize that they've gone around the area instead of through it after they have gone around.]

[Stephen scrambles to his feet as soon as he's hit the ground, heart thumping -- it's stupid; it's still just the two of them out here, but the unexpected direction has made his adrenaline kick in. He doesn't look back toward where the building should be, but keeps his attention trained on Bucky in return.]

You tell me!

[advanced]

I meant to push you, I thought that's what I was doing.

[That's at least proof, if nothing else, that this building really is doing something to repel them.]

[thewarningafter]

Yeah, well.

[He's suddenly jumpier than he was a moment ago, standing out of arm's reach. The memory of other hands on him, pulling him where he didn't want to go -- no. No, don't dwell, don't let his mind land on that.]

Psychological barrier. We're not going to get anywhere with the nanites active.

[advanced]

Yeah.

[He doesn't particularly like it either, taking a half step back away from the area they can't get into.]

Might be worth asking the Admin about.

[And by that, he means Stephen asking the Admin.]

[thewarningafter]

Sure. Yeah. I'll, uh, get on it.

[He just wants to leave at this point.]

I'm -- going. North. Have something I need to do.

[advanced]

Fine.

[And that's it, a sudden termination to their brief period of working together. Bucky turns deliberately south and starts to walk away.]

[thewarningafter]

[Stephen won't stop him -- indeed, he turns the other way and does the same.]
