[Public] Journal Entry] Bucky Barnes

[om_sarge]

Hey,


I've heard a lot about several of you already, you've possibly heard about me too.

Name's Bucky, not actually but it's the one I go by most. Seems like you already got more James' round here than you can handle anyway.

I'm Steve's best friend, have been for longer than I can remember and apparently at some point I turned into a mutant and we failed to notice. Great when that happens, right?  I heal pretty quick and have something called Adoptive Muscle Memory which pretty much just means I'm a fast learner.

And for the record that post Steve made yesterday? Any problems or queries can go through me, got it? :D

Looking forward to meeting the rest of ya, like I said Steve's been full of stories.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who totally could have been a stealth mutant.

I'm Claudia Donovan, and I just sorta see how things fit together. Computers, puzzles, math problems, things like that. It's really hard to explain and I don't know when it went beyond just being always around science and stuff to being able to come up with ways to pull off just about anything I can think of, if it's possible.

[om_sarge]

Personally I'm not overly convinced I am one but I've got friends here so who am I to argue?

[om_patriot]

Stand down, soldier, it's all been good.

You know, I'm not so sure you didn't go and get yourself a mutation just to try and keep me out of trouble. :P

[om_sarge]

*salutes* Gotta make sure, wouldn't be me if I didn't right?

Now would I really do a thing like that? Besides there's no keep you out of trouble, I resigned myself to that years ago. Best I can do is follow or, failing that, get you fitted with a nice leash and muzzle.

[om_mimic]

Hey, dude. I'm Cal, welcome to school - or, well, to summer break, anyway. Are you on campus already? 'Cause I'm seriously curious about your mutation. I'm a mimic, so. Mutation cousins, or whatever.

[om_sarge]

Yup on campus, what would summer be without my best friend? Dull and boring.

Mutation cousins huh? Interesting. I don't think I can copy mutations though, just the normal everyday stuff....which is maybe a newly defined thing here, huh?

[om_mimic]

Oh! Also, do you play ball?

[om_sarge]

Which kind?

Then again, in theory, with my power the answer is yes to all

[om_surge]

Hey, I'm Noriko, or Surge. Welcome to school.

[om_sarge]

Thanks Noriko

[om_malice]

Well, now I feel left out. I've heard about zero stories about you.

Then again, I doubt you've heard about me either, since I've yet to track down the wonder boy. Do you know your best friend comes off as a little too good to be true?

I'm Alice - welcome to Mutant High. I'm not currently on campus, but I'll be around now and then.

[om_sarge]

Rogers has been slacking then clearly,

Gotta tell you he's all that and more. I'm totally stealing Wonder boy though, too perfect haha
(disclaimer: he's a right shit when he wants to be, but it's hard not to love him anyway. When you're not wanting to punch him for his stupidity anyway!)

Nice to meet you Alice, sure I'll be seeing more of you soon enough.

[om_trickshot]

Hey Bucky! I'm Irvine. Welcome and stuff. I didn't know I was a mutant till I saw the Worthington thing on TV last year, so that aint too unusual!

My thing is that I never miss if I'm firing a projectile weapon. It don't work on basketballs, too bad for me.

I'm taking off to see my folks back home in a few days but I'll see you on the basketball court if you take Cal up on it!

[om_sarge]

Interesting mutation, I'm the best marksman my COs have ever seen (for my age, so they say) think we should maybe meet on the range sometime too?

[om_malice]

Shit, when are you going home, hon? I was totally hoping we could squeeze in a few more riding lessons. /shamelesslythreadjacking

[om_engineer]

Okay! I don't really know Steve except from basketball, but he's a great guy so I'm sure that you are to.

Anyway, hi! I'm Angie, or Engineer. I have metallic blood that gives me a crunchy outside sometimes. I'm working on being able to control when that happens. But I think I totally did the stealth thing, too, since I have no idea when my blood actually changed, I just know I found out about it three months ago.

I'm sure Steve's thrilled to have you around. (And I'm still reading links, Steve, I promise!)

[om_sarge]

I do my best.

And hey Angie, hope you don't mind me saying that's a hell of a weird thing to do. But each to their own and all that.
Maybe us stealth kids should make a club or some shit.

I'm sure he is too, fucker should be at least!!
(and that's cool, people educating themselves is good by me. It's dumbfuck bigots I take issue with, unfortunately there's too many of those shits around. Pardon my french.)

[om_panacea]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only new kid.

Hello, Bucky. I'm Faiza. Only been here about two days, myself. Still getting over the jetlag. It's good that you have a friend here already. That must make things much easier.

[om_sarge]

More than on, this place has all sorts of old neighborhood kids. It's like a reunion just, you know, smaller.

Nice to meet ya Faiza. No jetlag for me, Brooklyn's another world but it ain't that far aware.

[om_quicksilver]

I like your sense of loyalty already, Bucky, but you'll be glad to know Steve's been sticking up for all and sundry since he got here. Definitely one of the good guys.

Welcome, I'm Pietro, superspeed, etc etc. Also a fast learner, just in a really different way.

[om_sarge]

No need to tell me that, that's business as usual for him. Only difference is he can now finish what he starts.

Nice to meet you Pietro, Steve's mentioned you. Cool power.

[om_backlash]

So, that's an awesome mutation.

Welcome to the school, dude.

[om_sarge]

If not awesome, it sure was fucking sneaky.

Thanks dude, and who're you?

[om_vault]

hi BUcky! I'm harley! i didn't know i was a mtant until my hand dsiappeared one time in a competition and I fell and stuff, sometimesthey're sneaky like that.

[om_sarge]

You lost you hand when you turned into a mutant? That's screwed up

[om_vox]

Hello Bucky. Steve has mentioned you. It will be nice to finally see you in person. I'm Cecil.

[om_sarge]

Ah yeah, heard all about you! The guy who took my place, so to speak.
Hey Cecil, no hard feelings.

[om_agent]

Welcome to the school, Bucky. I'm Philip Coulson, just graduated and a teaching assistant. With your skill set, you'll probably be seeing a fair bit of me if you end up one of Mr. Judd's students, I'll be helping him out among other things. If you have any questions or need anything, just look me up.

I've been very behind on greeting new students and I apologize for that, between moving and some other things, I've had very little time lately.

[om_sarge]

Thanks for the welcome, Phil and it's not so late. Only got here last night.
Guess we'll see about teachers next term, or does mutant stuff carrying on during summer? Was a little unclear on the details.

[om_magik]

Well, I'm late - sorry! Hi Bucky, I'm Illyana - new as of last week. Welcome!

[om_sarge]

Hey there fellow newbie! Illyana's an unusual name, Eastern European family? My mom's side is Romanian.
