PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
(a) penny for your thoughts. SAID WHEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT ANOTHER PERSON IS THINKING, USUALLY BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN QUIET FOR A WHILE. (cambridge dictionary)

YOU'VE BEEN SITTING IN SILENCE FOR SOME TIME AND NOW YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR COMPANION'S MIND, SO YOU FLASH YOUR RICHES AND OFFER a penny for your thoughts, GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU AND HAVE A LITTLE HEART-TO-HEART.


How to play -

1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preferences.
2. Others offer your character a penny for their thoughts to start the conversation off.
3. Your character tells them what they're thinking of, note that lying's allowed. You take it from there.
4. Be serious, be light-hearted, be cracky. Just have fun!

Hey. Catch.

[That is a penny tossed directly at Sam's head. Reflex test!]

[wingmans]

[ sam catches it in one fluid motion before flipping it. ]

Not that I'll turn it down, but what's this for?

[sinistral]

Whatever's got you looking like that.

[Thoughtful, but not so deep in thought as to be unaware of small projectiles.]

[wingmans]

You are old-fashioned.

[ sam fiddles with the penny between his fingers before holding it up. ]

This is pretty much my problem.

[sinistral]

Inflation means I probably should've tossed you a few bucks. But that's also something you do for strippers and I didn't want you to feel obligated to drop your pants.

[Not for the first time, Bucky thinks how much simpler things were when they were fighting off an invasion. Bills didn't seem to matter, then.]

Root of all evil, or the saying goes.

[wingmans]

I appreciate the thought process.

[ no, they didn't. or maybe it was just sam playing hero and running from the real problems. the sleepless nights. the emptiness between. ]

And you're not wrong.

[sinistral]

Figured you would.

[Sometimes you run from the problems and they find you anyway. Sometimes you face then head on and it still doesn't matter. Can't blame yourself, can only try to make a deal with the cards you've got.]

What's the plan?

[wingmans]

There is no plan. Not yet anyway.
