Holiday Prep Etc
characters: Bucky/Soldat and various/OTA
location: Invincible, the village, the gymnasium
date/time: Dec 17 - 22
content: Catch-all for December non-event scenes
warnings: Just Bucky's usual occasional disassociation and swearing
I. Sneaking is easier when you're trying to kill people - OTA
The Soldier knows a little bit about Christmas. They know you're supposed to give gifts to people you care about, to show that you care. Maybe they know that those gifts don't have to be actual, physical things... but maybe they want them to be.
But they're also supposed to be a surprise, which means while the Soldier is working on those gifts, they have to keep moving around to keep the people they're for from seeing them. Which is a pain and a half, when living in a very small town with limited safe places to sit still for long periods of time, and even more limited light sources. So for the course of a week, after the Night Market leaves again, the Soldier can be found in a back corner of the Invincible, in a back corner of the library, in a back corner of the gym, and even on the Invincible's roof or up a tree when they get desperate. They always have one of several projects in hand, most of which include fabric of various kinds and colors, and a needle and thread. Come find the Soldier in a weird place, ask them why they're sneaking around or what they're working on, and watch them try to hide the evidence....
They do corner Crowley at one point for help with one gift, though. Hopefully the demon can keep a secret.
II. Winter gardening - Bodhi and Misty
Winter makes gardening harder. Keeping chill off the plants, turning the soil so it doesn't completely freeze, that sort of thing. That obviously must mean that Misty needs more help, right? Of course it does.
And Bodhi Rook needs more to do, and also maybe time with one of the people that make the Soldier feel a little better about, well, everything. Since Crowley would probably overwhelm the poor guy, Misty it is. The Soldier doesn't drag Bodhi along, because dragging is rude and would require touching, and also apparently getting too close to Bodhi means not being able to see for a minute or two, which is awkward. But they do coax him along with the promise of actual work to do, leading the way to Misty's place at their usual time.
III. Who wants to fight the Winter Soldier? - OTA
Of course, holiday and market and everything else aside, teaching at the gymnasium twice a week still happens. The Soldier doesn't always have students, but they always show up, just in case anyone needs to practice breaking holds or falling without hurting themselves, or working with knives. They are a careful, patient teacher, taking the most basic of beginners in particular, but also available just to spar before and after "class" or on days when no one shows up.
And sometimes sparring sounds like fun, anyway.

[ more than he figured they were ever going to get out of Robin or Will, given how paranoid both of them were. it was definitely worth trusting the spirits more in this case. ]
So, the morse code helps overcome the language barrier.

[Dumb metal fingers not covering holes well enough.]
Morse is easier, just takes a long time.
