[ His device switches on, a big, black nose snuffling at the camera for a moment. There's a growl, and a yip of excitement before Bucky's voice can be heard, sounding far more hoarse and stuffed up than usual. ]

Crepe. As much as I'd like y'to destroy the damn thing, it isn't food and - [ Okay then, having to stop to sneeze six times in a row isn'

[waitedforyears]

Sick, then?

[ And look, you've got a dog! ] Hello there. Crepe, is it?

[ridethecyclone]

Think so. Jus' my luck.

[ There's a sound through the line, Bucky falling back into the bundle of blankets before he puts the device back to his ear. ] Yeah, her name's Crepe. She wanted to be all fancy and french.

[waitedforyears]

You got yourself a French girl, huh? She a good kisser?

[ridethecyclone]

She uses far too much tongue, but I don't mind it much.

[ The laugh he gives off trails into a cough. ] She's my Christmas present from Steve, but she's a real sweetheart.

[Charlie switches her device to audio. There is the sound of something big being packed. And then fridge opening and closing.] I hear killing zombies with trucks is a good way to get rid of a cold. Also soup. Which I have. So you better at least have the door unlocked for me because I'll be there in twenty.

[This is her resolved tone of voice. There is no changing her mind.]

[ridethecyclone]

Think my reflexes are fucked, sweetheart. So I'm hopin' you don't mean actual zombies, 'cause that don't sound all that wise right now.

[ Still, he doesn't argue, mostly because he's too busy sneezing again. ] It's unlocked.

[char_he_mcgee]

No. I could, all things considered. But if I did, I'd be the one doing the driving. You can try shooting them. I'm bringing my video games over and the system. [Wise man, that Bucky. Charlie turns off audio and heads over, She lets herself in and starts looking for Bucky.]

[ridethecyclone]

[ He ends up slouching out of the bedroom, Crepe at his heels, happy enough to bound after Bucky before scrambling over to Charlie to say hello. ]

You probably shouldn't be in here with me, I'm infectious.

[Audio: this accent is not all-American.]

Crepe?

[ridethecyclone]

One of Steve's friend's idea. Seemed t'fit.

[intheblanks]

Because she's... flat? Round?

French?

The dog's new?

[ridethecyclone]

Sugary sweet. Christmas present. Never had a dog before.

[miraclenomore]

Don't you sound lovely today.

[ridethecyclone]

Awh, little sickness and I lose all my appeal, huh?

[miraclenomore]

Not at all. Everyone gets sick now and again. It's how you deal with that that counts.

[ridethecyclone]

So buildin' a fort out of my blankets ain't sexy?

[forever_captain]

Sounds like you need a nurse.

[ridethecyclone]

Don't think y'have the legs for the skirt, but I could be wrong.

[forever_captain]

Dunno. I've been told I look pretty good in a skirt.

[ridethecyclone]

Try out the femme fatale scene regularly, yeah?
