Okay, being human sucks. Sorry to all the normal people out there, but it really really does. It's been almost a year since I had to deal with this bullshit. And it hasn't got any more fun than it was last time.

That said. Bruce's Clinic, Maryanne's Vittles, and the Theater all have solar panels on the top, so they should have electricity once the cells charge up enough. But the Vittles has gas lines to the stove, you'll just have to use matches to light it.

I wasn't able to get over to the hospital to see if it had solar panels or if it was on the magic grid. Or Mitchell's pub. That's where the 'being human sucks' comes in. Everything takes for-fucking-ever to do.

I'll try to escape tomorrow and look then. Unless someone that's more adept at climbing than I am is willing to do it. I'd love you forever. Elfiekins, you guys are included in this. I will bow to your overwhelming gracefulness ~~this once~~. Because I seriously don't want to fall off stuff, I like my brains inside my head.

	But hey, maybe you could get drunk now? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh! Good point. I do like how you think, Cap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I may have been thinking about it myself but figured it wouldn't be such a good idea for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Last time this happened I got drunk off of four beers. Just four longnecks. And it wasn't even the good stuff. It was PBR. How are you feeling, by the way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-20 02:48 am UTC (link)
	I have no idea what it would take. I'm still pretty big but I haven't even tried in so long. Not great, but I'll survive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hah, maybe six? It's been more than ten years since I had a hangover. I think I kinda want one. You and PocketSteve in the same boat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-20 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	I think technically it's been something like 75 years since I've had one but it feels more like 6. Not really something I'd look forward to. Essentially. I'm still big but, everything else is back. And some of my strength is gone, and the healing thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2013-05-20 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Well, you were in cryogenic sleep weren't you? We can totally just say it was six. So everything but your hugeness, and the relative strength that goes with that hugeness? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-21 12:35 am UTC (link)
	I usually go with that thinking. Essentially. Though even that stregnth is pretty useless, I'm all..off balance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2013-05-21 12:51 am UTC (link)
	It's easier, on the mind. Too much math involved with anything else. Like for instance, I was born in 1992 so technically I'd be twenty, but I just had my twenty-sixth birthday sixish months ago. It's not too useless! You could totally pick up the end of the couch, I'm sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-21 01:04 am UTC (link)
	At least for us t is, people seem to get confused when I talk about the depression like it was a few years ago. I could, but I'd probably put it down on my foot. I feel like Bambi trying to walk on the ice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I get funny looks when I know all the words to songs that just came out. I totally know how you feel. I tripped up the stairs... I was so glad no one was around to see it. I've also lost count on how many times I've stubbed toes. Who knew being normal human was so hard? Also, you're breaking rules here, being adorable and taken is so not fair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No worries, IJ is spazzy tonight. captain_srogers 2013-05-21 03:16 am UTC (link)
	I mostly get the opposite, blank stares when everything goes over my head. I've never been this size without all the extra strength and abilities the serum gave me, feels like I'm learning how to move all over or something. I uh, I'm being adorable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2013-05-21 04:09 am UTC (link)
	We need to get you a button that says 'I slept longer than Rip Van Winkle.' I've been this size since like the sixth grade, but I've had the lovely feline grace for eight years... So I totally feel you. Yes! I'm picturing the Bambi thing. Except with gigantic you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-21 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I have been told it was more than one war that I slept through. Yeah, I can see how that would throw you off. I almost wish I'd gone small again. I might uh, disappoint you there. Call me superstitious, but I think I'm going to avoid large, frozen bodies of water for a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2013-05-21 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	Quite a few of them actually. You were in WWII right? But then it would be impossible to tell you and PocketSteve apart. I don't blame you one bit. Though I think you're safe from anything frozen for a while. Unless you want to help me save the ice cream.... By eating it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-21 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	Yes Ma'am. Though I didn't make it to the end of it. I don't think it would be that hard. ~~I'm not so~~ I could maybe have a bowl or two but I get stomach aches if I eat too much dairy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2013-05-21 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	You missed Vietnam, Korea, The Gulf War... But there was rumor you were there, so at least you were there in the hearts of the people who didn't know what happened. No? How would I be able to tell you apart? Does it bother you on the serum? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-21 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	I've tried to at least learn the basics about them. The rumors are..interesting at least. I just feel like things are different between us, beside the serum. He's...I've just, seen more I guess. Maybe it's just me. No, nothing really bothers me then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2013-05-21 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	You been using the internet? I think, since you weren't there, that they were mostly used to bolster the troops morale. He's still got that innocent edge? Not that you're tainted. There are the fruity pops? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-22 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Yeah sometimes, and SHIELD gave me some files back home. At lest I didn't have to do the USO tours again. Yeah, something like that. Any without blueberries? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They didn't debrief you in person? USO wasn't as fun as they looked?

I worry about spending to much time with him... To be honest. But he's so sweet. I didn't actually mind that he stepped on my toes.

I don't see a single blueberry one in the bunch. Why, allergic? And yes I am chilling out in the frozen food section of the supermarket. It's hot outside and its still nice and cool in here.

They gave me some of the basics but there was too much, I couldn't make someone sit there and tell me everything that happened in seventy years. They weren't...terrible, but it wasn't something I ever wanted to do, it didn't feel any better than being home and not enlisted.

Why? He...could probably use someone who doesn't make him feel terrible every moment.

Yeah. It's a pretty good idea, I might try and get out of the apartment tomorrow, I've been hoping Tony would be able to get the power up so I wouldn't need to worry about the stairs. Steve came the other day and said he only made it half way before he had an attack...I feel like being bigger has just made everything worse and don't know how far I'd get.

That should have been their job Cap. Leaving you to figure out stuff on your own, was, pardon my language, a very shitty thing to do. Oh yeah, I can understand that I guess.

Because I'm not a good influence. And he's corruptible. Just ask the farmboy that looks like Thor.

Remember there is no pressure on you to get down those stairs any faster than you can manage. If you feel like you're even getting the slightest bit winded stop and park it. It's better to grumble about not being able to make it than it is for you to have an attack. And take it slow. And if you want me to come walk them with you, I'll be glad to do it.

I woulda felt bad, they had better things to do, especially after everything that happened with Loki. I managed, or well, I am managing, there's still a lot I haven't figured out.

He's not that innocent. I mean, between the depression and war and ~~Bucky~~ hanging around street kids after Ma died...I knew what it all was, before the serum, just hadn't been able to do a lot of it.

Yeah I know, I'm half tempted to go down and find some place ground level to camp out but Tony says he should be able to get the reactor up soon. I don't know, I think I might be more worried about my heart, it's been..worse than I remember. ~~Don't tell Peggy~~
