paradisa | #12-Mirrored

[Bucky hasn't heard anything about the missing persons yet, as he's been in a bad mood since last night. Which could actually be fixed if he just went and apologized. But Bucky has pride, so he's not going to apolo- Yeah, he's going to apologize. He feels exactly like when he and Steve fight right now, just sort of empty and guilty. If he bothered to think about it, then he'd possibly be scared that Geoffrey has somehow reached Steve levels, but he's not right now.

Geoff's room is only a floor below his, so he gets there and knocks on the door, sighing when there's no immediate answer. He must be out, or just ignoring him.] Right, and you say I avoid things... [And that's when he catches sight of the mirrored name plaque.] What...? That should not look like that.

[He's flicking open his journal now, because that's weird, and looking for the answer. When he finds it, he just stares at his journal and swears.] God damn it all to hell!

[After a few minutes of sitting outside Geoff's door in silence, Bucky puts up two filters.]

You guys all right? Anybody you know...get taken?

You better still be here, Steve. Because if you got taken too... [He trails off.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Steve is relieved to get this filter. He was on his way to check on Bucky to be sure he was okay.]

Still here, but we've got a serious problem on our hands. A lot of people went missing during the night and there's no clues on where they've been taken just yet.

[Bucky's sigh of relief is audible. He wouldn't have known what to do if he had.] I know. I just found out a little while ago. Anybody have any ideas yet other than 'The Castle did it?'

Nope. They're pretty set on the castle did it theory. Maybe it did, but I don't like that it's our first assumption.

Well, it messed with the name plates. I'm pretty sure only the castle can do that and make it stick.

Really? Guess they must be right then. [A thoughtful pause.] That brings up a whole other problem. How are we going to make the castle bring them back?

Yes. I have found two so far.

I only have one. [He leaves out the so far.] I'm glad it didn't take you, though, Lucrezia.

Thank you. [ That's sweet. ]

Do you know how we might find them?

No. Nobody's sure, as far as I know. We're not even sure where they are.

I spoke to a man who suggested fire.

Allen. [After reading about people disappearing, he had walked up and down the halls, looking for mirrored names. There were a few he recognized, but that one was the worst.]

I'm so glad you're not gone. [And Katniss and Haymitch and Dairine.] What about you?

...My boyfriend. [That's all that really needs to be said.]

[Ouch. There's a small pause.]

I'm so sorry, Bucky. But we'll get them back.

[Bucky sighs.] I hope so. I just... we had a fight last night.

No-one I know, but considering I only know you guys, that's not saying much.

What's up?

The castle took someone important to me. [He pauses, then what the hell. Might as well.] My boyfriend.

There's a lot of people going missing. Is his nameplate all mirrored?

[Dryly:] That's how I found out.

I'm here, and so is Spot. But we've heard about the situation.

[Dairine is unusually serious, already suspecting what's up. Bucky's question plus his earlier exclamation just screams trouble.]

Who's missing?

...Geoff. [That should tell you everything, Dair.]

[Oh yes it does. Dairine breaks off into some creative swearing before writing down a filter.]

Crud. Have you been to his room?

That's how I found out, actually. I'm sitting outside it right now.

[Very quietly:] No.

[And when he hears that Bucky sets aside his problems for now.] ...Who did it take, Sam?

My... my... [Sam struggles audibly, but he trusts Bucky enough to try and get it all out.] My dad.
