Bucky grinned and nodded, relieved that Eliot took the message with good grace. "Skee Ball," he repeated.
Reaching out for one of the small wooden balls, he hefted it in his hand for a moment, considering. "It's been a while since I did this," he murmured, almost to himself. "Wonder if I still remember how," he added jokingly.
Taking another swig from the flask (and wasn't that a kicker, not having to worry about taking too much and having nothing left), he handed it to Eliot before pulling his arm down and back along his side, before swinging up and letting go, watching the ball shoot along the ramp toward the target holes─
somewhat faster than he expected, and carrying right over even the highest slot, bumping into the roof of the game with an audible whump! before falling back down. It managed to land in the 20 hole, but Bucky wasn't paying attention to it anymore, staring down at his hand as if it were a foreign object.
"Uh... didn't used to be able to do that..." he muttered.
