Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes *nods head aggressively* *hat falls off* aw man guys this is rough.)) ((that sounds pretty cool actually. really exhausting but pretty cool. i'm glad its going well for you dark. ))
Nodding in the affirmative at the daggers, he grabbed his own dagger from his belt. Grabbing it similarly to hammer, his gloved hands curling all around it and his thumb wrapping around his index finger. Looking up at the girl's bright blue eyes he then gestured to her knives. "Let's try this grip first."
((*sheepish smile* thanks, her eyes are blue right? you mentioned blue before but your face claim has olive eyes... ))

She attempted to apply the technique of how he held them to her own set of daggers, but still handles them feebly. Her face flushed a shade of red darker, and she glanced up at him with a look that asked for help. She felt awful.
spilled ink - Yeah, probably should have mentioned that in the beginning, sorry. Blue eyes. I LOVE MY CAT, SO DAMN MUCH. This post is rushed because the family is summoning me, I may poof.] Oh, do you know if Dawn has been on recently or if she's still having computer issues?]

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes its fine, blue eyes on blue eyes.)) idk what this is from but I hear in some guys voice saying duty calls. its probably just an generic quote but maybe you know what its from... for some reason i'm thinking incredibles??)) yOUR CAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAVE CATS! SEND ME PICS PLS!)) idk whats up with dawnie. i'll go stalk her acc XD))
A small smile involuntarily formed on the Soldier's face. He took the knife in her left hand, and in her right he unrolled her hand placed the knife in the palm of her hands and pushed her knuckles back into her palm making them wrap around the knife. He carefully pushed her thumb back around the knife so that it was slightly above the forefinger but still touching it. "Got it?" he asked, letting go of her hands and looking up at the Vixen's face.

spilled ink - Sounds familiar, but idk....]
Once her hand was wrapped firmly around the handle of the knife, she replied in a small voice. "Yes." They were within a close distance from one another, making the Vixen feel almost self-conscious about herself as his intimidating figure towered over her smaller stature. A little voice inside her head that didn't belong to her reminded her to filter out all distractions. She blinked once, and that first true human-like emotion she had felt was gone. The Vixen converted back to her "assassin state-of-mind" and glanced down at her feet to see if they were adjusted correctly in an even stance to not only balance herself but would let her move in whatever direction if needed.

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes i checked up on dawnie and she hasn't been on since the 11th. i hope she's okay. i'm going to head out for bed soon as well. see you tomorrow!))
"Good," replied the Soldier, breathing the smaller woman's presence. Letting the moment simmer for only a heartbeat, he refocused his thoughts. Taking a step back, he pulled his knife back out of his own belt and with the same grip sliced forward, and brought it around from forward and slashed to the side. Expectantly glancing at Vixen's bright blue eyes, the Soldier nodded.

spilled ink - Thanks for checking!]
Gathering her bearings, the Vixen went over his movements in her head, analyzing them. She figured that he wanted her to mimic them, and that's exactly what she did. She wasn't as flawless as he had been, but still was able to perform it quite smoothly.

"Good," the Soldier said. Now he gave her other knife back and gave it back to Vixen. "Now try it with both," He challenged, letting her position the knife and get comfortable with the grips.

The Vixen took the knife from his hand, twisting it around in her fingers carefully. She narrowed her eyes into focus and swiped through the air with a clean "whoosh" sound.

"Good, keep trying that," instructed the Soldier. "What do you remember of the dinner yesterday. Start with the big concept then details," he commanded, slightly tweaking her swing. Mentally placing himself back in the room he would run a check just to make sure she was right. He found that picturing himself walking into the room while the remembered things worked the best for him, after the Frosted Vixen gave him all she remembered he’d give her some pointers. ((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes just another heads up tomorrow i’ll be off to a no-wifi camp so you won’t be seeing me until the 23, but i won’t forget this rp, unless when i get back you don’t want to continue. but yes i’ll be away. ))

spilled ink -Alrighty! Have fun. I'll want to continue for sure. And I still want to continue the Infinity War one, but I'm kind of waiting for Dawn first.]
Her head tilted to the side, just a little. He'd been there, so why was he asking about what happened? Whatever.. it didn't matter. Her thoughts traveled back to yesterday evening. "You were there." she began. "And so were two other men, Alexei and Maxim were their names I think." She shuffled her feet again. "Before we ate, they asked me how I was. And I was afraid.." tshe started to quiet her voice during the last sentence. Why in the world would she say that? It would show how weak and scared she really was. "Then they asked if I was ready to begin training. And I just don't know...what am I training for?" her blue eyes did hold some fear, it was impossible to hold back now.

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes great! yeah… we might just have to continue without her eventually.)) -*-*-* When Frosted Vixen began naming emotions, the Soldier just nodded. He hadn’t been looking for emotions but what she gave was fascinating. The Winter Soldier had heard of them but rarely felt anything, his handler had expressed anger towards him but never had he felt anger. Processing these things there was a pause, only the eerie sound of silence. “Missions, that's what you're training for," the trainer answered vaguely turning his gaze behind the girl to the door. The memories of the monster he had become to go on these missions pained him greatly, but he knew telling her now would do no good. All in good timing, the Soldier thought to himself. This one is smart, though. She'll figure it out. Shaking these traitorous thoughts from his mind he returned to the training session. "Facts, what facts do you remember," the Winter Soldier reiterated returning to the topic at hand, promising himself not to forget these emotions she had considered, something to maul over another time. "What were Alexei and Maxim wearing?" he pressed, beginning to pace around the Vixen. The prowl around the empty room shifted the already chilling mood to something more sinister. Of course, the Soldier was oblivious, as it was just another tic he had picked up watching his own handler when he had been in training.

spilled ink - Yeah, probably... but I want to give her a little longer. >.<]
Nodding stiffly with her hands at her sides, her fingers clenches so that they created little marks in her palms. She held her head rigidly with her chin high, it looked uncomfortable. The Vixen answered unblinkingly, dropping her last answer. As if the Winter Soldier would show empathy to someone like her. "They wore militaristic outfits like you, except they weren't from the military at all," she explained. "With lots of badges, and they claimed to work for an organization known as HYDRA?"

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes yeah that's a good idea. ))
"Good," the Soldier stated, the hardness in Vixen's voice not escaping his notice. No please, a small voice begged, come back. His composure revealed none of these thoughts instead, depicted a mere shell of man. Only the remnants remained of the man he once was, the Soldier didn't even know who that was. It was a dangerous game that had become his life. How, when, and why, were all mysteries. "And with you're agreement, you're now HYDRA too, don't forget that. And in return for those wonderful answers, I will answer one question of yours." He turned his heel right in front of her to face her directly, his head tilted down to see the woman.
((out of curiousness how tall is your oc? turns out the tws is 6' bc seb's six feet. i didn't know he was that tall oh my goodness. and it turns out that tom Holland is only half an inch or so taller then me at 5'8" huh. and Mackie is only 5'10" oh my gosh and scarlett johannson is only 5'3"??? what?? sorry once i start its rather impossible to stop me.

spilled ink- Dang, I'm only 4'11".The actress who I chose for her is only 5'7", but I think I'll go just a tad bit shorter than that?]
And in that moment after he had turned, they were close again as he looked down upon her. It was nerve-wracking to say the least. One question. Her heart pounded. But there were many that she had! She swallowed. The Vixen could ask if there was a file on her that HYDRA might have to give her a glimpse on who she might've been before all of this. Heck, it might even say her real name, being called "The Vixen" by everyone was just too hard to adjust to. Despite all of this, she wanted to know more about this "Winter Soldier". It was a dangerous game, she knew, to be so interested in a man she barely knew, and was training her to do god knows what. She could tell there was something about him that was different from the other men, he looked like he was trying to hide some mysterious pain. And she thought about it often. This is a waste of my question.... she thought regrettably. "What's your real name?"

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes oh yeah i forgot you were my short homie! okay that works. i think I’m going to do one more reply after this to you and then head out for the night. ))
The man took a step back and laughed darkly, a harsh grating sound. Maybe at some point it had been one of his best features a rich bubbling laughter, but not now. I gave you a solid chance, and you ask about me? he thought to himself. Staring at his black boots his black hair veiling his satire smile. He shook his head and pursed his lips.
“I don’t know.” He turned his head up to look at the Vixen with a rugged, tired look, his crystal blue eyes meeting the Vixen's, urging her too ask more --but later. “What about the waiter? What do you know about them?” he proceeded, as if nothing had passed between the two, beginning to pace once more, knowing that if he let the moment simmer any longer the guards would be onto him. He couldn’t have that now, could he?

Knew it. The Vixen thought again after he laughed. It had been stupid of her. I'm an idiot. "The waiter? Hmmm, nothing really. He just came in, set down that disgusting stuff they call "food", and left." she snorted. Why ask about the waiter?

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes rip darkie 2k17 pls finish your homework. even tho it sounds terrible (the hw and my advice) tis very important. XD)) The Winter Soldier could see her thoughts, and internally grinned. Oh sweetheart you’re going to have to do much better than that, he thought to himself. They’re going to catch you if you’re that transparent, think conniving, use that wonderful brain of yours. When the Frosted Vixen gave a subpar answer he saw his opportunity.
Seizing it, he once again spun his heel and looked at the girl, his gaze icy. “You’re going to have to do better than that,” he said. Dropping his voice lower and leaning in ever so slightly towards her he whispered the name, “Barnes.” Stepping back once again from the girl he started, “You need to remember details this needs to become second nature.”
((annnddd now i'm going to bed. pls enjoy this weeklong worth cliffie. love ya ))

spilled ink- I finished it (can you hear the angels sing?), but I'll probably still fail because I don't get this stuff.]
When he whispered closely, it sent icy chills up her spine. Of what emotion, she couldn't tell. Fear again, or something else...? She shook it off and crossed her arms, raising one eyebrow. If he was going to be stubborn and discreet with his answers, that was fine. She could be to. "Well I'm sorry, I just don't find anything interesting or suspicious about a waiter." she told him.

[ spilled ink- I'm going to quote your response since it wasn't posted on here! ][ Yes, it is financing, but there is a lot to it, like credit cards, mortgages, interest, debt.... it is so boring and complicated. I'm just glad it only takes one semester of school.]
[Ahh, maybe. ]
The Vixen was none the less taken aback by his harsh words, but was good at keeping her stoic position. That was one thing that was positive about staying here, it gave you a thicker skin. Her eyes traveled with the Winter Soldier as he paced around her and delivered his criticism. She thought about what he said. "Then if that is true..." she began. "How am I supposed to trust you?" She made a fair point. If it was impossible to trust anyone, because "everyone is suspicious", what right did that give her to exclude him from that group?

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes tysm for reposting that for me!! Financing sounds super duper busy. I kinda think its interesting or at least I’m curious about it but if its boring I’m glad you only have it for one semester.)) ((oh I like this... the world is ending and you bargain for one man’s life. )) Better the Winter Soldier thought to himself satisfied with her little progress. When the brunette began questioning him he had to turn away from her and hide a sly smile. Much better, he conceded. Turning back to look at the blue eyed Vixen and held out his hand for her daggers. “Now you’re using that brain of yours,” he said giving the woman a rare compliment.
((I think we should time skip to the end of the week after tfv puts her daggers away and tws walks her back to her room if youre okay with that.))

[spilled ink - Regimes fall everyday. I tend not to weep over that. I'm Russian. Or I was.]
The Vixen felt warm and pleased under his compliment, handing back the daggers to him. There was a serious look on her face. "Then I'm glad my results are satisfying your wishes." She crossed her hands behind her back, almost in a militaristic "attention" stance now.
[Oh yeah, that's fine!]

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes I have to say that's about all I remember i'm sorry my friend... I think messed up the order of the lines too... crap. oh well. XD we had a good lil quote thing goin on for a while. ))
Taking the daggers back to the cabinet and locking them once again in the drawer, the Soldier could sense that she was getting a better feel for his expectations. The Winter Soldier strode over to the Vixen and gestured to the door and walked over to it opening it for her. "Training is done for now, we're breaking for lunch but we'll have training afterwards. I'll find you a schedule and drop it off in your room later." The Soldier broke down the schedule for her as he led her back to her room.

spilled ink - Tbh, I just found the transcript online and I was going based off of that. xD] Oh my god, that reminds me, when I was in virtual school and I was doing Biology, we had sort of these online sessions every week where we would be in an online classroom. There's a chat box and it was before the session started. We were all talking about what we were being for Halloween, so I mentioned Loki, and then the teacher quoted something Nick Fury said to him at the beginning of the movie.]
The Vixen gave a little dip of her head. She felt a bit better; stronger, sharper. But still, in her mind she was thinking. Training, again? Is that what the rest of my life is going to be? She sighed and exited the room behind him.

XD ))
**time skip to the end of the week dinnertime**The Winter Soldier's metal arm knocked on the Frosted Vixen's door for dinner. Now freshly showered, he was now in his alternate set of training garb. This meal he planned on pushing the Vixen to think a bit more about what she agreed to, enough to make her think but not enough to make him seem suspicious. Just enough to pique her curiosity. "Time for dinner." The Soldier barked from outside the door when she didn't answer, leaning on the doorframe listening for movement.
((just to add some drama "bc this plot isn't already dramatic enough" moon muttered sarcastically to herself with a evil grin this is probably the first time she's seen the Soldier in the metal arm.))

The Vixen moved around inside her dorm when he called. She put on her usual wear that she wore outside her room; not the training material but it was more of just a casual uniform that showed her allegiance to HYDRA. She stepped lightly across the floor and turned the knob to open it and answer his command. Her eyes showed showed that she wasn't quite pleased with him, or the fact that she felt trapped here like some kind of wild animal. However, the metal glint that came off of his arm sparked a flicker of curiosity and she turned all of her attention to it. How...?
I like it, Moon. Keep dat drama coming! ]

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes that was actually really smooth. let me appreciate that for a minute. )) ((yeah icky icky. I can't believe he DARE try to run over Darkie, terrible! how did that happen?))
"Ready for dinner?" the Soldier asked, closing the door behind the Frosted Vixen and gesturing down the hallway. Whether he was ignoring Vixen's curiosity or just oblivious to it was unknown. "Can you take me to the dining hall?" he asked. The Winter Soldier didn't expect her to be able to, she'd only been here for about a week, but sometimes his trainees surprised him. The Soldier wanted to see how fast she would learn.
((thanks when we do dinner do you think there'd be other trainees there or just the two of them? I feel like hydra would want as little contact with others as possible but it'd be extrememely hard for them to work together if they didn't know each other. what do you think?))

spilled ink- I was leaving early to walk home and I got to a crosswalk. He was going really fast but he stopped at the stop sign and was watching me cross. First, he rolled down the window and yelled that I should still be in school, but I ignored him. Then when I was about halfway, he must have took his foot off the brake because the car jumped forward, so I went back a little and he stopped again. He did that like three times.]
She was still looking at his metal arm when he asked her to direct them to the dining hall. It took a moment for her to process the question before she shook her head and blinked to regain focus with the task at hand. The Vixen now locked her blue gaze with him, slightly mesmerized by his. They were sort of..... the word was lost from her vocabulary at the time. She couldn't quite figure it out. Whatever, it didn't matter. "Yyyyes." her response was dragged out only because she had multiple things running through her head, and made her almost forget what she was agreeing to. The Vixen straightened up her posture. "Yes, I can."The two of them began down the hall with her in front, but always subconsciously aware of the Winter Soldier behind her back.
Maybe not at dinner, but at the next raining session as she advances in her combat?]

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes oh my gosh what the heck that's so rude. i'm glad you're okay!))
The Soldier nodded falling in line behind the Frosted Vixen. Noticing that Vixen was distracted he followed her gaze to his arm. Unbothered he followed the Vixen down the hallway, unsure where they would end up. No matter how unbothered he was he still felt the need to explain. "I lost my other arm in combat." The words seemed to come out of nowhere. The Soldier knew this was lie. He remembered falling, why, how, or when was still obscured but he knew he had fallen. He had a theory that his triggers for him to come to as the Winter Soldier were part of his story. Offhandedly he wondered if they'd given the Vixen trigger words and pondered if they would tell about her story.
((that's sounds good. maybe the Vixen can be part of that elite death squad that bucky mentioned in cacw?? and then maybe theres only like two others on the team? also i'm probably going to be skipping a lot of the combat stuff just bc I know absolutely NOTHING about anything weaponized. I was also thinking that maybe sometime in the future when tws asks the vixen to take him somewhere to test her memory skills she accidentally takes him to the hidden files room where they discover info about their past lives.))

spilled ink - Thank you! Did I mention the guy looked like Chris Evans?]
"I'm sorry." her words came out plain and monotonous. She realized deep in her mind that she probably should have showed more concern, but the empathy just did not come natural for her. Like HYDRA had done something to block emotions when they had wiped their trainees. Which made sense if they didn't want them to be distracted. But there was still a little shard of "human-ness" inside of her, that was struggling to find it's way to her head and heart, was telling her how she should feel. They reached the dining hall and she stopped. "We're here."
You really have great ideas! I like it. Oh gosh, I hadn't even thought of a back story for her, or trigger words if she's gonna have any.]

((Darkshine Laufeyson-Barnes yous be welcome. no you didn't but now I want to punch him even more people who look like chris evans should be nicer.))
The Winter Soldier accepted her apology with a nod. When she led him to the dining hall he was genuinely surprised although his stony face hid it well. He grabbed his tray labelled at the counter as Soldier 1791, and chose the table closest to the counter. Plucking the fork off the tray he began to eat the salad and the sad excuse of pasta in front of him. He didn't know why but the food at the HYDRA compound was never quite fulfilling in the sense of taste.
((thanks!! as i said i eventually want to be a writer. maybe the reason why SHIELD is so aware of the Vixen's whereabouts bc she used to be a SHIELD agent with any avenger or something. maybe she was a confidant for like sam or something. it can be whatever you want. if you need help with the codewords i can help with that after you get your backstory.))
