And back again [open]
Who: Steve Rogers and anyone
Where: Tony's room and around the city
When: February 23rd
Summary: Steve comes back after staying in his world for about 70 years. Cue making sure that Tony is okay and reorienting himself with Saeng Seong.
Warnings: Steve being a grumpy old man.
[Locked to Tony]
Steve wasn't very happy, to say the least. He thought that he would be getting a little time to himself after the battle in New York, time to maybe adjust to the new era or at least see how much had changed since his frozen slumber in the ice. But no, he woke up in another unfamiliar place without any warning. Of course the unfamiliar place became familiar once his memories came rushing back. Saeng Seong, right. He was... small when he was last here. It seemed so long ago. Steve briefly wondered if any of his friends were still here, how much time had passed in this place.
Oh, and Tony. He was here before. So was Loki- and okay, he needed to see if his teammate was alright and if Loki had done anything since his disappearance. Exploring the city would need to come after.
With that task in mind, Steve headed to Tony's apartment and knocked on his door, trying to remain calm despite the frustration he was feeling. He was getting sick of being transported to places without knowing how much time had passed.
[option a; open]
After being reassured that Loki hadn't done anything destructive yet and getting an explanation on how much time had passed, Steve decided that it would be a good time to walk around Saeng Seong again. Although, barely any time had passed since he was gone, almost the opposite of how it was on Earth.
Figures. A small part of him wished that only three days passed when he took the plane down.
Still, he had to do this. It wasn't like he remembered every single detail of this city... and he just really needed the fresh air. So Steve could be found around the districts, stopping every so often at different shops with a look of surprise. Surprise that it remained unchanged even though he knew it had only been a short amount of time. Or Steve could be seen walking down the street and turning his head at everything in almost a daze.
[option b; open]
Afterward, Steve was just sitting down on a bench in the park, staring down at his folded hands and looking a bit distracted. He needed a little time to take this all in still. Maybe he was overreacting, but just seeing the city almost unchanged... it was just a bit mind-boggling to him.
"Just three days..." Steve mumbled to himself, although his voice was clear enough to be heard. He also was a little angry about everything, but he tried to keep things to himself as he sat there on the bench.

"I am physically well. Personal contact has become sufficiently regular." Wow. That was actually rather tactful... for him. "I have... continued to encounter situations which elicit emotional reactions, however, and have found them... painful."
His gaze drops, comes back up. "Someone whom I consider to be a friend arrived here from my universe, but he was unhappy here and found a way home. I..." Here he stops, gathering the words. "I... miss him. And I have found that... I now miss others that I did not have the capacity to miss, earlier. I... think I know why Diarmuid is often saddened...."
He's almost babbling.

"Can't say if it ever becomes easier, knowing that they're gone." After all, Steve wasn't so sure about himself, Bucky's death was still a sore spot for him. Even if they took down HYDRA in the end, it didn't erase the fact that he was gone. "Hear that it's sometimes best to talk about it with others, those that understand at least." Of course Steve wasn't about to talk about his own problems still, so he was a bit of a hypocrite when it came to that. But he wanted to try and help September in some way, even if was just listening and giving what advice he could.

"I have been told this, as well," he answers quietly. "But I do not yet know the criteria for deciding with whom it is considered appropriate to speak of such things."
no subject
Of course that didn't help much when trying to talk about your problem first.
"Find people that were also close to your friend. They're probably feeling the same way."
no subject
Then he blinks and returns to the present moment, looking at Steve again. "Thank you," he murmurs. "You have given me much to think on."
no subject
"Happy I could help, September." He smiled a little at him, feeling slightly less moody than earlier. "If there's something else I can help you with, let me know."
