HELLO ALL AND WELCOME TO SAM'S CAPTAIN AMERICA COOKOUT!!!!


Over the last week or so, Sam has been going out of his way to contact as many people as he knows to invite them to a cookout at his place in the Horizon. He knows that after the jailbreak, a lot of people were separated, and this was his first thought on how to bring people together. The purpose behind it is simply because Sam thinks that the one thing all of them have in common, opinion on the Singularity and their situations aside, is that they were all brought here and can actually access the Horizon. He sees merit and use in coming together when they can, especially in ways that don't involve the politics of the land they're now living in. So, what better way to do that than around food?

The long and short of it is - this is a peace meal. Leave your issues at the door. Sam has very few rules and there is very little he will give in terms of what this cookout will entail, but three things he will make very clear:
1.) There will be no fighting at his home. You want to duke it out? Take it somewhere else. There will not be warnings or second chances. Don't be an ass.
2.) There is no meeting or serious reason for this cookout. Literally, he just wants people to come together who may no longer be able to see each other due to the travel constraints. It's meant to be fun. Come have fun. (he knows y'all know what that is, even when some of you pretend you don't). Bring food if you want to! There is also a kitchen (if you know what that is) and places to crash. Hope you like seafood!
3.) Anyone who can come into the Horizon is welcome. He'd love it if everyone came, so spread the word.
The cookout itself is set up out front, with picnic tables and chairs and fire pits and lights abound. There are tables set up near grilles if anyone wants to do any actual cooking outside, and a table (probably multiple) set up with sides and napkins and utensils. There are a variety of different places to go and sit and hang out while you're eating. Anything and everything you can want is available - food, drinks, yard games, music playing from out in the trees that will remain consistent unless someone tries to find the speakers and hijack the playlists, etc. If you can't find something outside, you're more than welcome to check the house.

All throughout the party, too, there will be a new friend. Red, as Sam fondly calls him, is a blood-red hunting hawk with silver in between the feathers. He can be found circling around Sam quite often, or perched on his shoulders, but also if you are out and about you can often see him checking up on anyone and everyone. He's a very curious little bird, and also pretty sassy, if you want to interact with him.



If you haven't, or have, been to Sam's domain before, feel free to take a look around. Anywhere is open (save for one locked bedroom) so everyone has open access, but most of the cookout itself will be located in the front yard.
OOC: This is mean to be an OPEN LOG, so leave your TLs or closed threads below! This party will last basically as long as people want it to, but the idea is for it to be an afternoon into the evening. Y'all have free reign save for destroying Sam's home, but if you have any questions, hit me up on plurk ([plurk.com profile] disarmingly or disco (dai#3757). Sam's TL is below, and he will be bouncing around like the good host he is, but lets get a little party started.

Bucky doesn't want to go too easy on her, but he also doesn't want to be a complete asshole in the other direction.

"Let's start with four. I have no idea how alcohol will even work in this place." He could either be stone cold sober after this or smashed to hell and he has no idea what to expect from her tolerance other than hoping her confidence is founded in actual drinking experience.

He picks up a bottle and starts to pour.

"If it doesn't work at all, I'm going to be a little sad."

Ciri cocks her head at him slightly, the look in her eyes dubious. Four, considering how tiny the cups are, seems like it's not very much.

"I think it'll work," she supplies encouragingly, leaning forward with an elbow on her knee as she watches him pour. "I had some wine earlier and felt... something. I think."

The bottle doesn't seem to have a label, at least not one she can see from this angle. She tilts her head closer.

"What are we drinking?"

"I think it's Vodka."

Bucky glances at the label, squints and then takes a swig straight from the bottle, wincing as the burn hits the back of his throat. Definitely Vodka or close enough to it. The burn honestly doesn't bother him much, but the warmth it leaves him with afterwards is something he hasn't felt too often since before the war.

"Could be worse. Ready?"
wiedzminka: (eighty-four.)

Vodka, at least, she knows. It doesn't have a distinct scent besides alcoholic, and she's not had it often, but it could have been something entirely unfamiliar. Not that it probably matters too much, in the Horizon. She could probably even change it if she wanted to -- but that'd be cheating, and this is a fair drinking contest.

Mostly.

"Hey! If you do that, I'm already behind." She pouts, and reaches out to grab the bottle from his hands to do the same. "We must start on even footing. Ready when you are."

Bucky laughs. It's unlikely they're on even footing, but he'd love to meet someone who is.

"Okay. On three. One... two..."

And then he slams the shot back on three. It burns and it reminds him of hot nights in Brooklyn and cold evenings camping during the war. They say that memory is tied to senses like smell and taste and even if Bucky doesn't easily get drunk anymore, the taste is still there, unpleasant and yet somehow warm and familiar. Maybe that's why he keeps drinking, even when he knows it won't do much. Back home, anyway. He's not sure about here at all. He's already managed to get drunk in Thorne once before.

The tiny cup is a little annoying to navigate. Ciri's used to drinking out of something more substantial, in big gulps if needed, not pouring thimblefuls of liquid down her throat. But she manages, though it lingers too much on her tongue, and she grunts and makes a face as she slams the little glass down, swallowing the burning sensation.

She reaches for the bottle to refill them, assuming there's no break meant in between.

"You really should've just gotten bigger cups."
