Bucky/Soldat | MCU | Purple team, occasionally slipping to Blue

I. Pre-Mission Prep

As everyone gets their things together (and Soldat does, too) Soldat can be found moving around between people on Purple and Red team with their usual Arms band on, and passing out the usual wrapped bundles of food: a quarter loaf of lembas, a few baked pies full of meat and/or vegetables (they ask if you are a vegetarian before offering the right bundle), six homemade granola bars, six fruit bars (think fig newtons), and six cookies.

"If you need more, you can always find me," they assure anyone who looks dubious, though they're more likely to be dubious about being handed a wrapped bundle of anything pre-mission than specifically over how much is in the bag.


II. The Inn

Oh this is amazing. Soldat takes a quick tour of the inn, being very polite and friend, then offers to help in the kitchen, since they clearly have a lot of people to feed.

Going forward, at least a couple hours of each say when they're not far afield will be spent in the kitchen, tablet up with music playing (often to the delight and/or annoyance to the local kitchen staff), as they bounce around making huge meals for anyone coming by.


III. Field Hand

Soldat stays close by for now, focusing on dealing with debris, hauling heavy things, and simple fixes like mending fences and roofs and such. They're not doing a lot of hunting for the first day or three, but can be found directing people to support side beams while they heave up the formerly load-bearing chunks and haul them out of wreckage, or wheeling heavy carts of stone to recobble roads, or using their shiny metal arm to shoo wildlife away from the flocks. They also keep whipping out snacks and sharing them with locals while they much.

They look the happiest they've been in a while. This is good, honest work, and they don't even have to kill anything to do it. Anybody coming by gets waved over. "Got a minute to hold this for me?"


IV. For the Birds

It's not technically Soldat's job to look after dralite babies, but the innkeeper sent them out into the nearby woods to collect some herbs, and somehow they wound up with one of the hatchlings clinging to their neck, cheeping ferociously. They don't have their home-made earplugs from Beacon anymore, but they do have headphones, so they have those on and playing very loudly as they trek through the forest looking for the right nest.

Help a guy out? He doesn't know what he's doing, here.


IV. Guard Duty

Finally a group of farmers and Voidtreckers are making a trek to some further fields, and Soldat can't in good conscience let them go alone. So he makes up a big batch of pasta back in the inn to leave behind, makes sure their current projects are wrapped up, and settle in for the trek with their rifle at the ready when they all clear out.

"You coming along, too?" they ask another Voidtrecker on duty, as well. "Want to take point or rear?"
