[-- Sideways glance.]

What do you mean?

[It's not that he distrusts him, hardly that. It's that that could be one of Yao's experiments, and he wants to know if there's anything more specific about it.]

[neverleave]

[He shrugs.]

I kept feeling like someone was right behind me whispering things, but whenever I looked I didn't see anyone. Later I heard some dead Yao guy – Kite – was bothering people.

[It wasn't the first time he felt something was watching him. Back home time it WAS a dead person stalking him, so Natsuno really isn't surprised it happened again.]

This place has a ghost problem in general.

[He heard it from different people on different occasions, so he accepted it as true.]

[enshields]

[Huh. How about that. Steve grimaces.]

Anything in particular, or was it nonsense?

[neverleave]

They possess people when they get angry.

[He seems... weirdly unfazed by it.]

[enshields]

[Well Natsuno is weirdly unfazed by everything so that in and of itself is hardly strange. Steve's kinda used to his being unflappable by now.]

So I've heard. Did you deal with this sort of thing back home?

[neverleave]

Not with ghosts, but some people refuse to stay dead.

[Why yes that was begrudging. The undead ruin everything.]

[enshields]

[That actually gets an amused little snort, because Steve's... had his own experiences with that, honestly.]

Seems like a common problem around here. I'm going to try and see if we can find a list of the people that were here before us. Maybe if we can put a name to some of these spirits we can help them find peace.

[OR... SOMETHING? He's not exactly an expert, come on.]

[neverleave]

That Oz guy just mentioned it the other day. Helping them. You can talk to him.

[Because screw finding peace, Natsuno wants nothing to do with those things unless it's to destroy them. He has no sympathy for anything undead.]

[enshields]

Oz?

[Yeah he missed that broadcast. Steve pays almost no attention to the network.]

[neverleave]

[Good thing Natsuno stalks it, then. He runs over his phone's contact list until he comes across Oz's picture, and holds it up for Steve to see.]

This guy.

[enshields]

[He studies the boy briefly, committing his appearance to memory, and then,]

Thanks. I'll be sure and contact him.

[After a moment,]

How's the food?

[neverleave]

[Another shrug.]

Okay I guess. Food's food.

[And it's disappearing in an impressive speed that speaks volumes.]

[enshields]

[If Steve knew the word tsundere, kid...]

Well, you can thank Bucky when you see him. He did most of the cooking.

[Well, he and Steve, but downplaying his own involvement is pretty much natural to him at this point. He'd rather Buck take the credit, guy more than deserves it.]

[neverleave]

[He hums, a non committal sound.]

For all those people?

[enshields]

[He snorts.]

Irish families give a guy a lot of practice.

[At least some of them did. Bucky's was huge by comparison to Steve's own, which was just he and his mother until her death.]
