( ...Yes, and how many years can some people exist, before they're allowed to be free )

I am alive.

I'm wandering around after lockdown and I'm freezing to death and it completely sucks, but I'm back in the chapel and I'll make it to safety before lockdown.

[ Billy knows, from the grimace on his face, that this isn't quite right somhow, but he doesn't actually know what's wrong with it. ]

-I'm just wanting to let everyone know, since I'm missing some major drama. Wow, guys, what is happening?

( ooc note )

[Enough is enough. Ecks literally copies and pastes the text of an earlier network post.]

"To the converted; remember that name that they gave you, because it's what they did to you, they converted you from what you were. It might have been them controlling your thoughts and actions, but it was your hands that got blood on them, and that comes with guilt and blame. That's good, it proves you're human, proves you're not what they tried to make you, because you do care about the pain that was inflicted.

It doesn't make you a monster, and it doesn't make you irredeemable.

Trust me, I've lived this. There are still good parts of you, the parts of you back now that you lost, and that's enough to fight for. We lack the right to give up and take the easy way out, the only way to erase even some of that blood is to fight back. So fight."

[ Billy appears in the camera's frame looking somewhat grave and holding a black SD card in one hand. Wherever he is, he's been careful to frame it so that there's nothing particularly identifying about his location. ]

If you're paying attention to the publicly available data, you already know this, but - I may've found something related to our mysterious Russians. There was a bunker out here in the residential area with some bodies that probably starved to death. I cleansed it as best I could with salt and made a food offering for the ghosts.

[ Leaving out the part about the toys. It's too sad to talk about. ]

They repaid me with something written in Russian. Any takers for a translation? 'Cause a semester of high school Spanish and like ten words of Hebrew isn't doing it.

[ The video cuts off for a moment before cutting back in, apparently some time later. Billy's wearing an expression that's trying to be cheerful, but it doesn't reach the coldness in his eyes. ]

-Anyway. Maybe we should lighten the mood a little. It'd be nice if there were someone around here that was good at telling jokes, but I guess we'll have to make due, right? Hit me with your best joke. Or your worst one - bad jokes are always a lot funnier.

I'll start: Why did the anomaly spit the clown back out? [ A pause. ] Because he tasted funny.

[He wakes up with a startled shout, barely noticing his surroundings until he's clawed his way out of what looks horrifically like a body bag. What the hell happened to him? He remembers battle, he remembers people dying all around him in a way that the propaganda and news reels never mentioned, and then all of a sudden he's here. And he's down an arm.

He feels sick when he looks at the stump. He must have been out for such a long time, his hair is so long. But that doesn't tell him where he is and why he's dressed this way, or why it looks like it's snowing outside, or why he has a backpack full of what looks like junk next to him. He fumbles with some of it, clumsy one handed, and manages to do something that makes the smooth thing in his hand perk up into life. He very nearly drops it again, but hope springs in him. Is this some kind of wireless? New StarkTech?

What the hell, he's got nothing to lose by speaking into it. If he makes a fool of himself, then there'll only be himself around to hear it. Everyone will get a close up of Bucky's lower face, because he's holding it close as he can like a proper phone.]

This is an emergency distress call from Sergeant James Barnes of the 107th, US Armed Forces. If anyone can hear me, please send a return transmission.

[He's really trying not to panic here.]
