[It opens a bit too close on Sid's face as he frowns in concentration. His face brightens up as he realizes its working and he backs up, grins and waves.]

Greetings, fellow inmates! Or whatever we're calling ourselves. I'm Sid Carter and I have an announcement to make.

THIS!

[He holds up an unopened cigarette packet, and then brings it closer to the camera so that the price (and tax) are visible. The tax is pretty dang high. As he pulls it back, his face is almost comically grim.]

Is daylight robbery. And I won't stand for it. And if you won't stand for it, either, and wanna come talk to be about it, maybe get a solution, then you can-- [He pauses, and looks a bit confused, before going on.] Well, they said you can talk privately, too, on this thing. So you can do that.

Or you can come find me. I'm staying on the 12th floor and I'm working at the Fiery Chariot Car Service (Hell of a name, that).

[He grins broadly again.]

And that's that! Sid out.

[He ends the video.]

If I could leave this bloody sardine tin, they wouldn't have to worry about that, would they? Anyway, it's not like they're bleeding radioactive. I'm not goin' around breathing smoke down people's throats all day, am I?

You keep acting like this is a kidnapping. The portal is natural, they really can't control it. You being here is a stroke of bad luck. [Bucky is quietly wary of the government of Riverview, but for the most part, he's content to play the good citizen while he's here. Up until he comes up with some kind of proof that something shady is going on, he can mostly believe that it's all accidental.]

If you don't like the cigarette taxes, get signatures on a petition to take to the government or something.

Ought to get my fags free, as compensation.

And I might do that. [Unless the loosies business turns out profitable.]

[anotheroldsoldier]

Compensation for what? Being here? [He can't help the little laugh at that.] If you don't want to be here, I don't think they're going to be that happy to have you complainin'.

Good luck with that.
