Could be. It definitely seemed like they acted on their own.

Unless the poster Bucky saw was, like, the octopus. [a beat.] Not that I'm saying it was an octopus that turned into a poster, but - maybe just like the octopus crossed your path to make sure something would happen, something about this place made Bucky see the poster so he'd do something.
[STOP LOOK i am at fault yeah also britt this is the funniest thing but can we pretend that lavi said the octopus didn't talk but just body languaged them seductively to get them to follow it I WAS AN IDIOT AND DIDN'T READ TRIAL!!!!]
I can't tell if that makes it worse or better....!!
[NOTED i don't think i'd had kura mention it to anyone yet so we're good]
Better! Consider it better.

...look, I... I'm not gonna lie. I voted for you, 'cause that was what it seemed like you wanted, but... I didn't like doing it. It's gonna feel real fucked up to see you on that stage tomorrow.
[he looks briefly surprised at the mention, not that Kura voted for him, but the fact that Kura's going out of his way to tell him.]
...You already know by now -- that it's a bad habit of mine. Asking people to do what I want, without thinking of how it's gonna affect 'em.
[still,]
Whatever you see out there tomorrow... It's gonna hurt me and maybe even everyone else. [lol] But it's just gonna be exaggerated. Whatever thoughts they reveal, just know they won't be as bad as they look.

...That's a good theory. And it'd make sense why I couldn't find a poster like that anywhere.
