[Bucky has been doing some reading. Quite a lot of reading, about New York, and how it;s changed over the years he's missed, what's gone on -- well, as much as he can manage. And he has noticed one very important thing, here. He fixes the comm with a very serious look, before asking:]

....So, who do I need to yell at for not tellin' me the Dodgers left Brooklyn? Los Angeles doesn't even have trolleys, why do they need a team called the Dodgers.

[A little mutter:] At least the Mets are around, so we don't have to root for the Yankees.

You make that sound like a bad thing.

[Angela, you just got here. Stop flirting.]

[onsilksheets]

This is why I don't tend to follow sport.

[voice]

[deadandred]

Well, I don't wanna brag, see.

voice;

[deadandred]

I like to think I'm not that much like my big brother that I get flustered around ladies. [Not that Steve's blood-related, but.]

video;

[deadandred]

Old habits die hard, doll.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I shall contain my astonishment with regards to your ego.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Flustering can be adorable though. In small amounts.

[Not all families have to be blood.]

[voice]

[deadandred]

Fought for our country and died doing it, fella. So I'll take what sentimentality I can when it comes to my baseball teams.

voice;

[deadandred]

Maybe. Not when you've barely even kissed a dame by the time you're 25. [All of that is said with great fondness, though.]

That's Steve, though. Or it was before he, uh. Grew.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Twenty-five? [Talk about a late bloomer.] ...Grew?

[Now she is thinking about body parts of Steve that no one should be thinking about... at least not in the presence of his bro.]

Baseball?
[ he blinks ]
I cannot say I've heard of it where I'm from.

video;

[onsilksheets]

Even in space it seems.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[A slight hesitation.]

Sorry. "Died"?

voice;

[deadandred]

Well, yeah, he -- barely came up to my shoulder, honest. And then he met Doctor Erskine and got the serum and got all -- taller 'n me.

[voice]

[deadandred]

Well, unless you end up somethin' other than dead falling from a train into a frozen river at the bottom of a gorge, yeah, that's what I said.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I take it you were brought here from just before that point, then?

AUDIO;

[widowing]

[ what is this obsession with sports teams ]

Why does New York need more than one baseball team?

video;

[willpunchfaces]

Who?

[voice]

[deadandred]

The last thing I remember at home was falling. [....Well, the last thing he remembers clearly, anyway.]

video;

[deadandred]

Apparently a few people haven't. It's mostly an American thing, I guess.

video;

[deadandred]

A baseball team, from Brooklyn.

AUDIO;

[deadandred]

[This is what happens when your best friend is the Great American Boyscout. Yep.]

Because otherwise everyone would have to root for the Yankees, and that's just awful.

video;

[deadandred]

Well, no one saw fit to tell me.

AUDIO;

[widowing]

[ this is true, steve seems the type to earnestly root for his team. ]

Why is it so awful?

[ granted, yankees fans are pretty obnoxious. ]

AUDIO;

[deadandred]

[And Bucky is the type to try and get him to sneak into games. All Steve has to do is stand there and look sad and pathetic.]

The Yankees are a buncha rich bastards who win too much.
