IC "In my defense, I got working on this as soon as we got back, I mean what else was I suppose to do? We just bought everything else I needed, and so once I got started on it, I just...lost track of time, but-I finished it, so it's worth it," Kazi explained and took the gadget out of its box and pointed it at a can he had on his workbench and fired it up before blasting a golden goop at the can, which instantly hardened and turned shiny upon hitting the can. "It's a new weapon. Doesn't have a name yet, but once this stuff hardens, the acidics in it take effect and slowly eat through whatever it hits until there isn't very anything left, and then it eats itself until there's nothing. Cool right?" He asked and looked over at Moses with an all too excited, goofy grin on his face. "As for food...eh, I don't know," he confessed with a shrug as he went back to looking at his cool new weapon....everyone had to have a hobby.
"Just... don't fire it at the wall," Moses chuckled, opening the refrigerator and beginning to poke through it, "but it's cool, man. I wish I could do things like that." Moses' thing was more words. He knew the most languages out of either of them, talked them out of all the sticky situations they got into... "We have exactly one bottle of ketchup, two of these weird apple things from Xalhara, a heel of a loaf of bread, and spray cheese. We're supposed to dock at Di'quay today, right?" He picked up one of the apple things that he couldn't remember the name of, taking a bite and grimacing at the flavor as he headed over towards the main console. "Yeah, stopping at Di'quay. We were there before once, right? Like, didn't we get chased off of there by some raiders?"

Zahra nodded a little at man's response, pulling his hands out of his lap to breath into them. It always confused him how cold he could feel when he was dead; you'd think without a body to hit, the cold air wouldn't be as effective as it was. But here he was, sitting in some cold alley with a nameless guy who could have been a mass murderer for all he knew. But he was supposed to be a teen - they weren't known for being careful. Not like Zahra had anything to lose. "Are you out here often? I haven't seen you before now." "No," the homeless man said, shaking his shaggy head, "I just got here... are you out here often?" Upon closer inspection, this 'man' was younger than Bucky had originally thought him to be. Why would someone his age be sitting out here in the late night, in the cold? The only reason that the man who had been Bucky knew that he was even still human was the fact that the thought of that made his gut twist, kids living on the street and all that. It was horrible.

"Might as well toss me one of those apple things, can't say I'm not hungry," he explained and lifted a hand up so he could catch it. The Azarian had a big appetite, as most of his kind did. See Azarians looked mostly human, though they did tend to have different colored eyes and pointed, larger ears. But other than that, they did appear relatively human. "So, when are we leaving for that?" He asked and paused at the mention of the raiders and let out a hearty chuckle. "I remember that, good times," he said with a small smile gracing his slightly scruffy face.

Their interactions are making me sad)) Zahra shrugged a little bit at that, letting his hands rest in his lap when he could feel his fingers again. "I suppose you could say that. I come and go," he confessed with a soft chuckle, leaning back against the alley wall. "...you know they have a shelter for homeless people a few blocks away, right?" he asked after a moment, looking over at the man. "They offer beds and blankets for the night." [[ true my pal. ]]
A shrug. Would it even be safe to go to one of those places? Wouldn't they ask for name, date of birth, things like that? He couldn't tell them that he was a dead man, James Barnes, born in 1925. He didn't have a cover. But, a bed and possibly a chance at a meal would be nice... "If I go, will you come with me?" he finally asked, not sure why he'd even bother. He didn't know this kid, but the idea of walking in public all alone for even just a few blocks made his stomach churn.

Moses turned on his heel with a sigh, heading back to the fridge and pulling out the other apple thing, tossing it at Kazi lightly, like he was launching a basketball into a net. It had been a long time since he'd played that game. It hadn't spread farther out than most Earth colonies. "I already put the course in before I went to sleep last night," he informed his shipmate, dashing over to the console and sitting down, pulling up their navigation display, "we'll be there in about an hour at this rate. Let's hope that they're not in a state of political turmoil this time, but the main computer is still down, so we can't check..." It was Kazi's job to fix it, which he hadn't, but Moses just poked fun at it. He wasn't all too concerned over it.

IC He took a rather happy bite out of the apple like food, when Moses mentioned that and he pulled the food back, mouth agape for a minute as he tried to figure out something to defend himself. "Well-I mean...the hoop shooter was more entertaining, it's taken up a lot of my time...yeah I'll get around to fixing the computer," he let out a small grumble, taking another bite out of the food as he stood up, pushing the bench back and kicking it back in place. "What are we doing there again?" He asked as he went over to the fridge and tossed it open, grabbing the ketchup and literally squirting some on the apple before putting it back and trying the new food combination. "Not bad...though not something I'd want to eat everyday..." he commented before continuing with the food.

Zahra looked surprised at that, but had enough control over himself to bite his tongue before he spoke again. People who need the beds deserve them. Instead, he shrugged and nodded, standing up with a grunt and brushing the snow and dirt off his pants before offering a still slightly damp hand to the other man. "Why not. Can't have you getting lost anyways." that was a lame attempt at a joke, but he still smiled a little bit. "I guess," the man chuckled, slowly getting to his feet, stiffly even, and then tentatively taking Zahra's hand, "what's your name?" He shook the younger guy's hand once or twice before retracting it, shoving it deep into his pocket. His back hurt, as did his shoulders, and he stood, hunched. If he hadn't been so stooped he would've stood pretty tall, maybe being handsome even, but it was hard to see behind the dirt and filth and matted hair.

"Well, we have to get..." Moses began, swiveling in his hair to look at Kazi, trailing off and grimacing as he watched him squirt ketchup onto the fruit, "man, that's nasty. Anyways, we gotta stock up on some food and some of the parts that you're going to need to fix this computer. Also, I gotta call home to make sure they know I'm not like, dead, and that you're not dead either, and without the computer I'll have to do it at a public terminal. Plus, I get stir crazy if I stay in here for too long, and I know that you do too, buddy." He pointed at him with the apple, taking another large bite and swiveling his chair back around.

IC "S'really not that bad," Kazi argued through a mouthful of the fruit before he swallowed and continued. "Nothing compared to Lentic Azarian food, but it's alright," he explained, nodding his head along as he tapped his foot to the ground. "Right, probably a good idea, and I'll admit to getting a little crazy when we're in here too long, I need to get out and have actual contact with people that aren't you, people I can talk to, not like those...uh people over at the market planet, that did nothing for my need of social interaction," he explained with a shake of his head before he chomped down on the apple again, going through it pretty fast.

Zahra returned the shake before pushing his own pants into the pockets of his pants. "Just call me Zahra. Come on, the shelters this way," he motioned for the man to follow him as he started to walk. "What about you? Can I get a name or are you just going to be the homeless guy down the street forever?" "Bucky," he said, as he began to follow along, quivering not just from the cold as he got out and into the street, where the people and the bright lights were, "people call me Bucky." He gulped, looking straight ahead, focusing on following instead of his surroundings. He would be okay. "It's good to meet you Zahra... what are you doing out here?" He knew that it wasn't the best question to ask, but he needed something to keep himself from completely and utterly panicking.

"Okay, I'm all the contact that you need!" Moses exclaimed, throwing his arms out a bit before bringing one back in, chucking the core of the appleish fruit into a nearby waste bin, "I'm hilarious, insightful, empathetic... I'm everything you could ever need in someone to see the galaxy with." Or, at least, that was what he thought of Kazi. They got along like two peas in a pod, or however that old saying went. They didn't fight, didn't get tired of each other really... it was nice, to have someone that barely ever annoyed him at all.

Zahra shrugged a bit and rubbed the back of his neck with one hand. "What is anyone out here doing? Living if you could call it that," he said with another shrug, rolling his head on his shoulder before turning to look back at him. "At least surviving." Going to bed now ;v; I'll be back tomorrow!)) The homeless man (who now had assumed the role of Bucky, which was false) blew air out his nose, shrugging with one shoulder before murmuring, "You're not wrong." He didn't know if he called this living, personally. He felt dead enough for it to be just dragging along to the beat an ever-ticking clock. But, then again, maybe that was just his fried brain and probably steaming pile of PTSD and suppressed memories.

IC Kazi laughed as he finished his apple and looked at the core before tossing it away. "Yeah but what I wanted to talk to someone rude, dull, and dumb?" He asked as he went back over to his work bench and pulled the box back over, tapping his hands repeatedly on it as he tried to think of a name for the invention. "I'm not getting sick of ya or anything, don't think that's possible. But a man has got to socialize with more than just one other guy," he explained before snapping his fingers and reaching for a marker, writing down the name on the box as he thought of it. "Speaking of you, Moses, I'd like to introduce you to the newest addition to our family..." he started as he took the lid off the shoe box and pulled out the weapon. "Moses, meet Mosy, named after you."

"Aw, I'm flattered," Moses said, a grin appearing on his face as he shuffled over, peering down at the weapon. "It's handsome, just like me," he cracked after a moment, slinging an arm over Kazi's shoulders with a smile, "you know, you've got quite the brain in that scruffy little head of yours, pal." Oh, he knew Kazi knew, but he just liked to remind him, to make sure that he remembered he was super great and all that all the time.

He flinched ever so slightly, looking over to the other side of the street where a darkly clad man was dashing off, leaving a young woman in the dust. Bucky, for a moment, wasn't too sure what to do. Should he help? He glanced at Zahra before looking back across the street, and then taking off, more out of instinct than actual desire. He just knew he had to help.

"I'm not making you feel anything!" Moses called after him, but didn't say anything more as he got up, brushing off his pants with a long sigh before walking over to his side of the main room. It was cluttered with books and papers and trinkets he'd picked up... Cleaning couldn't be a bad idea.
