#11-[Action]

[blue_sniper]

[Bucky is in his usual spot in the lobby he sits in, people watching and relaxing in general. After everything that has happened in the past few weeks, he needed some relaxation. And if he went up to the roof, he's pretty sure Steve might try to drag him back down. So, here he is, sitting out in the open in the lobby. Of course, what he doesn't know is that he's on a loss, and the next time someone tries to ask him a question, he'll be compelled to answer them, no matter what it is and get really angry of at the Castle. But right now he's in a good mood.]


[ooc: Loss start! Feel free to approach and ask questions.]

Do you really think so negatively all the time? [Ah! Darn it, another question. Peeta's mouth snaps shut.]

[blue_sniper]

Yes, I do, actually. ...At this point I'm thinking hiding in my room might be my best bet.

[peeta_bread]

[He puts a hand on Bucky's arm.] Please don't. That's not solving anything.

[blue_sniper]

It's a loss. I basically have to wait it out. And in my room sounds like a good as place as any. [It wouldn't be the first time he's hid in his room.]

[peeta_bread]

I bet the castle will just find a way to make you come out.

[blue_sniper]

Probably. [He sighs.] The Castle does not like me this month.

[peeta_bread]

I'm sorry. Do you want me to ward people away from you? I can scare them off so they don't ask you questions.

[blue_sniper]

I doubt that would work, because you're probably the least scariest person ever. Dair is scarier than you.

[peeta_bread]

I bet the girl I killed didn't think so.

[Wow, Bucky's loss is making him snappish.]

Sorry. Maybe I'd better leave.

[blue_sniper]

Or maybe I should just go up to my room and stop all this?

[peeta_bread]

It's not fair. How the castle's always tearing us away from each other.

I promise, I'll stop snapping if you stay a little longer.

[Puppy dog eyes are a go!]

[blue_sniper]

Fine, fine. [Quit it with the puppy eyes!] I'll stick around for a while.

[peeta_bread]

[A sigh of relief.] So what've you been doing? Just people watching?

[blue_sniper]

Yes, because it gives me something to do and it's pretty harmless.

[peeta_bread]

Do you know the Doctor? The one that's getting married?

[blue_sniper]

No, actually. [He blinks.] Someone's getting married?

[peeta_bread]

Yeah! The Doctor and River Song. I'm going to make their wedding cake!

[blue_sniper]

And everybody knows you make the best cakes.

[peeta_bread]

[He grins.] Naw. You're just biased.

[blue_sniper]

The best cake I've ever had. Though I haven't had a lot in my life...

[peeta_bread]

Well, thanks. I just hope I don't disappoint the Doctor. He's a really good guy.

[blue_sniper]

You won't disappoint anyone, Peeta. You're a good baker.

[peeta_bread]

Thanks. This is gonna take a lot more time than the usual plain round cakes I make.

[Oh dear. Now he's talking about cakes. Sorry, Bucky.]

I was thinking I'd probably use fondant instead of buttercream, and I don't even know about the design yet. I need to talk to the Doctor. But what do you think, three-tiered?

[blue_sniper]

I...have no idea. [Sorry, can't answer that one truthfully.] I have no idea about cakes at all. I would just say trust your judgment.

[peeta_bread]

Oh. [He looks at him sheepishly.] Sorry, I forget people don't know what I'm talking about. I'm used to talking to my dad about it.
