i couldn't think of a consistent naming scheme this time
WHO: James/Bucky + YOU!
WHERE: around town!
WHEN: between 8/7 and 8/17
WHAT: new arm who dis (aka: James has a brand new arm to fit his brand new shoulder! Please come watch him get used to it and do such things as, scale a tree like a squirrel, accidentally set off EMPs, blind people with his chrome shoulder.)
WARNINGS: none, other than like. maybe some excessive violence to inanimate objects?
A. somebody please bring a frisbee to this so i can get some regains
[ Now that he's got a new arm, James is trying it out in the wild. So it's easy to pass him by on the street, or the park, or maybe even near the university, wearing a t-shirt or just a tank top, and stretching his arm and shoulder out in a variety of ways. Tricep, bicep, deltoid, he's stretching them all out like he's getting ready for a wrestling match. Except he's not.
Maybe you catch him throwing darts. He brought a few from home (the metal kind, because James Barnes does not mess around) and now he's using the left arm to toss them at the trees (while also trying to avoid any people who might cross between him and the trees), sinking them deep into the bark. Then he collects them again, and goes again. His aim is remarkably good. But darts get boring very quickly--there's only so much you can do with them.
Or maybe you catch him a little bit after, when he's gotten bored of darts but has nothing else to do. And for lack of anything else, he just starts....climbing a tree. The tallest one around. By straight up hooking his metal fingers deep into the tree and crawling up like a squirrel--albeit much more slowly. ]
B. broken - seether ft. amy lee
[ He still isn't sure how it works, though. Oh sure, he's got the basics down, the moving it around and what have you. But he doesn't realize it can do anything else. So maybe you drop your phone and he leans down to pick it up. Maybe you're in line behind him at the vending machine. Maybe James wants to adjust the air conditioning a little in the room. Who knows what he's doing and when, and near who!
But something is definitely about to short circuit and break. ]
C. all that glitters isgold chrome
[ Something James did not foresee with this arm is how shiny it is. It is blindingly shiny. He spent about half the day walking outside nearly blinding himself before he finally gave up and bought himself a pair of sunglasses.
But that doesn't help everyone else he passes on the street who's now being subjected to the terrifyingly bright glow of sunlight emanating from his arm. People might start going blind. The shine reflecting off his shoulder is probably roasting a bird or two alive in the trees. The only respite from the glow is the red star painted on the deltoid. Godspeed, poor passers-by.
Meanwhile, James is beginning to sweat more and more as he realizes that hey, actually, metal heats up! Kind of a lot, in the sun! He takes a break on a park bench, guzzling a bottle of water like a dying man in the desert. He might start dripping sweat soon. ]

B - James, no
-whirrrrrrr the vending machine starts to possibly overload, causing every one of the dispensers to start spinning. Chunk, thunk, piff, a rain of snack cakes, chip bags, and cookie packs start to fall from every selection, overloading the vending slot below. Better move fast before it gets too clogged to open.
"...What the hell?" It's exactly the kind of unlucky chaos that seems to follow James everywhere.
no subject
As he steps back, he stumbles into Togusa. Jesus Christ, that man is everywhere.
"I swear, I didn't do anything." He really hopes mysteriously breaking a vending machine isn't some kind of punishable crime.
no subject
A deep groan, "I really hope this isn't something else in the city going wrong." Togusa starts to move around the machine, looking for its plug.
"You already put your money in?" he asks, absently, still paying full attention to the machine, in case it sparks again.
no subject
Or...he shocked it? He's not quite sure, really--he definitely felt a jolt of electricity there, but it didn't hurt.
A
And a poorly dressed young man with sunglasses soon comes running over after it.]
no subject
Is this yours?
no subject
I'm not going to be in top shape for Ultimate Frisbee without it. Now hand it over, dude!
no subject
Once he gets that squared away and actually throws it, though, it flies fast and hard and true, targeted right for Kurt's chest. Think fast! ]
no subject
Sheesh, what's the big deal man! [He grumbles as he tries to recover.]
no subject
Your frisbee can't be that ultimate if that was all it took to knock you down.
no subject
N-no, that just means that it's... just that ultimate! But hey man, that was totally whack of you! Can't just let a bro have his disc like a normal person?
no subject
no subject
no subject
Bros don't let bros suck at their own game.
[ He's about to leave it there, but then he decides on a whim--eh, why not? He opens his arms wide, ready to catch a throw. ]
So are you gonna practice, or are you too chicken?
no subject
[With that, he throws the frisbee right towards James! It might not be the strongest throw, but it'll do the trick.]
Shouldn't you be practicing the accordion?
no subject
Do you think practicing the accordion is the only thing I do?
[ He tosses the frisbee again, letting it curve this time--at first it appears to be veering far off to the right, but then at the last second turns left to head straight for Kurt. ]
no subject
...To be honest, I kinda imagined you practicing it 24/7. ...But hey, that wasn't so bad. [He says, as he tries to imitate that move. Except that it doesn't curve, it just keeps sailing to the far right.]
no subject
[ James lurches to the side and runs after the frisbee. He manages to nab it just before it lands on the ground and moves as if he's going to go straight from catching the frisbee to launching it again in one smooth motion. But at the last second, he pauses. He takes a look around, and after a minute...
He tosses it completely the wrong way. The frisbee flies in a straight line away from Kurt entirely, flying smack into a tree and then rebounding only to fly right towards Kurt's face this time. ]
no subject
With aim like that, you could have fooled me! Don't quit your- whoa! [He then notices the frisbee heading right for his face and tries to duck, though it still nails him in the forehead.] Not cool!
no subject
What was that you were saying about quitting?
no subject
That... that you should quit being a jerk, that's what! How did you even do that?!
no subject
Muscle memory. [ in his left arm, anyway. ] What can I say, I'm just good at frisbee math.
no subject
no subject
Besides, the longer you avoid math in your frisbee, the more you're gonna keep sucking at it.
