Mystery Sign Theater 3000, Monday

Guess who'd picked a great time to return to the island:

Yes, that was right, Bucky Barnes, fresh out a portal from Wakanda. Fresh in a manner of speaking, anyway - this latest round of brain work had been kind of a lot. Shuri seemed to think he was nearing a breakthrough, though, and even though Bucky himself was feeling compelled to wonder if she didn't actually mean a breakdown...

Well. Wasn't nothing, was it?

He fired off a quick text to Jesse to tell her he was both alive and back on the island, and then he let Ingrid briefly talk his ear off about how they should've been planning for all the seasonal screenings for every holiday coming up (it was never too early to think about Halloween, apparently), and something about the auditorium appearing to be stuck on only accepting movies from a particular year.

Aside from that, Bucky was unaware of any shenanigans. That was not going to last.

"You picked the worst week to come back," Jesse informed him, well before she was anywhere near James himself.

She was approaching quickly, though.
weirderthanthou: (jesse - back)

"Nothing bad enough for that face," Jesse sighed. "Just... island shenanigans. And not the Anakin Skywalker kind."

She went in for a quick hug as soon as she was close enough.

"I ran into a medieval prince running drills in the park," Jesse said, taking a professional step back. "And then he just disappeared. Then I watched a Saint Bernard drag a boy halfway across the street. It disappeared too. We've been getting phone calls like that for hours now."

She paused, and held up her arm. "Also, apparently, I taste like beets?"

"Are you going to be weirded out if I tell you to lick yourself and you'll see what I mean?"
weirderthanthou: (jesse - for srs)

"I think it's probably better for both of us," Jesse said wryly. "Unless you really like the taste of beets."
weirderthanthou: (jesse - yeah i'm a fed)

"Very romantic," Jesse told him. "Not sure it'd live up to reality, though."
weirderthanthou: (jesse - serious attention)

"They seem to be temporal events of some kind?" Jesse said. "I've seen some of the old mayors, too."
weirderthanthou: (jesse - focus)

"Could be?" Jesse said. "You and Ingrid haven't seen anything?"

"Well, if you do, let the mayor's office know," said Jesse, who apparently lived in mayoral mode right now. "We're trying to keep tabs on it."

"It's Fandom," Jesse said, looking up in the direction of the noise. "Of course it might."
weirderthanthou: (jesse - yo i see you there)

Jesse took a few steps forward. "So it might be," she started.

"But I'm an actual adult. I'm supposed to be a role model!"

Well. Not a voice she recognized.

"Who's in there?" she called.
