well the only way this could be worse is if they were like those singing bass fish
and burst into eagle screeches whenever people walked by.
[Is this actually happening. Is Cap just bored or is he...Did he find his file and decide he feels bad enough to pity text him? Ugh. Whatever. Whatever.]

Couple tshirts, some cereal. Pictures of my family. No eagles though.
[Peter stares at that for some time. How...kind of him. He lets his head thunk against the wall of his bunk and and mutters to the empty air for a bit.
So he's read the file and feels guilty. Obviously. There's no indication of who it was that Peter took the bullet for but the fact that he was dead probably stood out like a sore thumb. This Cap might have a better sense of humor than the guy he knows but it's still about the politics. Function, efficiency. If Peter was sitting here moping to himself then he'd better man up and get his act together, because everyone goes through hardship, blah blah blah. These messages would be quaint if they weren't loaded with words neither of the were willing to say.]
I figured. [ Rikki had said pretty much the same, and now she's gone. ] And I know I'm not really the same guy you know. But I'm still around, if you ever need anything. Even just to talk.
DAY 82

Should've gone for the airlock on the eagle. I woke up the other day to five more of them staring me down.

If this is the wrong Peter, sorry. I promise I'm not kidnapping or plotting to murder national birds.

I really hope they don't start doing that.
FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org
Pictures are nice. Don't get a lot of stuff from home.
[ Except for the fact it kind of means someone probably went through their homes. ]

Yeah I'm happy to see some familiar faces but I'm also creeped that someone fished through my albums to get them.
FROM:parker.peter@cdc.org
Can I help you with something or are you just killing time?
shhhhh
Yeah, that part's a little disconcerting.
FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org
Just thought I'd check in. Strangely enough, this felt like the least awkward opening.
[ As far as he knows, his other self is much better with this stuff. Rikki seemed proof of that. ]
but senpai...

NO IT'S OKAY, I understood what he was walking into hahaha
Don't really know. This alternate universe stuff is still pretty strange to me. Space is still pretty strange to me.
yolo...
You probably know more about it than me at this point
no subject
I know that the other Captain America's done a lot more than I have, and that I'm looking forward to getting my feet on solid ground again.
no subject
Yeah i guess you could say he's done stuff
i wouldn't waste my time worrying about it though, we're all stuck in space now
no subject
We've got a lot of time to waste out here, at least until the next planet.
