“ why didn’t you use the metal arm? ” “ well — i don’t always think of it immediately. i’m right handed. ”

electricas​:

“I would cheat. I do cheat, actually. Minor crimes are fine but i prefer bigger.”

bucky nodded, eyes wide in disbelief, “because that’s exactly the sort of light conversation i’m looking for in a gin partner.”

[soldatslav]

electricas​:

“I’m more interested in if it conducts electricity.” 

he took a step back reflexively, “no, and i’m not letting you test that theory.”

[soldatslav]

blckct​:

“everyone cheats. it just takes a special kind of person to admit to it.”

“—-you saying i’m not special?” he joked, tone flat.

capdnvrs​:

“–why, bucky?”

“why, what?”

[soldatslav]

capdnvrs​:

“it’s good i didn’t come to play, then.” carol crossed her arms over her chest. “you got a second, barnes?”

bucky quickly disposed of the cards, shooing away his potential opponent with a gentle nod, “i’ve got a few. shoot.”

celestialmadonna​:

“Hello, Bucky. I am Mantis…  I have antennae that help me to sense what a person is feeling.” 

“hi mantis— i can see that,” bucky blinked, staring at the woman’s antennae for a moment before realizing that would probably come across as rude.

wclvrines​:

“we’ve met. at least you’re proficient with it.”

“proficient, huh?” flexing the metallic digits, he shrugged, “i’ll take it.”

[soldatslav]

smashrs​:

“and where’s your honor?”

“oh, come on—- it’s just cards.”

[soldatslav]

finese​:

“this is not what i wanted to beat you at.”

“i’m… almost afraid to ask.”

[soldatslav]

ircnhearted​:

“the one you’ve got is nice. shuri worked hard on that. she showed me the specs.”

“i mean, hey— that’s high praise coming from you.”

[soldatslav]

stepfrdfive​:

“i like bold.” sophie was alone. phoebe was off with kid omega ( g a g ), esme was pouting over kid cable and esme had gone with celeste to help emma with something. “but i’m not sure how bold you are now.”

bucky squinted, unsure how to react, “are you suggesting i need to be bold-er?”

[soldatslav]

stepfrdfive​:

“WE READ MINDS.” Phoebe and Esme shook their heads. “do better.” irma joined the motion.

bucky set down the cards, letting out a sigh in annoyance, “you’re no fun, all of you.”

[soldatslav]

glaciemregina​:

“I asked if you were coming to the Gala, darling, not about your anatomy.”

“oh, that—- that’s still a thing?”

[soldatslav]

siiryns​:

“you’re really actin’ the maggot, aren’t ya?” theresa shook her head. “maybe become a better liar first.”

“that’s a hefty accusation there, cassidy.”

[soldatslav]

siiryns​:

“are you afraid of not bein’ a fine thing?”

bucky raised an eyebrow, “—-thank you, i- i think.”

[soldatslav]

fcrtunas​:

“Let’s get this out of the way: lucky’s not on your side here. You’re going to lose even with those cards.”

bucky set his hand down, frustration washing over his features, “you know, why i ever agreed to play you in the first place is beyond me.”

[soldatslav]

fcrtunas​:

“i’ll bet you for the other one.”

“i think i’d like to keep it, thanks.”
