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.

Unfortunately, Geralt's reached the depth of what he can put together with her description. Nadine gets a contemplative sound before he seems to let the subject go for now. It's important, probably. Or will be, at some point. He just doesn't know where the pieces fit right now. Seems to be a lot of that since they've arrived.

He turns his attention instead to her. How she explains magic as she knows it back home. He thinks of the shadowed children, her odd blank landscape. Her insistence on keeping them safe inside there. It'd made sense to him at the time, lacking any real experiences he could remember to draw upon. The whole concept of it. Now that he's himself again, he's realizing it says a hell of a lot. Something he isn't sure of yet, but which isn't...usual. To most people.

"Experience," he repeats. "In using it?"

"Uh...sort of."

Nadine chuckles, a little awkwardly, and tucks a stray bit of hair behind her ear. How to explain her experience with 'using' magic?

"More just being around it, I guess you could say. I could do like one thing before here, and it wasn't something particularly powerful or useful in most situations. And I wasn't doing it on my own, anyway."

Now, though...now she's gotten quite the taste for doing magic on her own.

An edge of interest sharpens his expression. He takes her in a second time. It isn't common, at least to him, for someone to be evasive about their magic without good reason. Perhaps, rare as it is in her world, she's learned to keep it quiet.

For a moment or two, Geralt weighs if he should ask it. If he should ask whether that someone is her husband, or if it's to do with the children he'd seen. He doesn't know, for certain, but it feels like an option, like it could be the answer to Who were you doing it with? But they're only talking without any real purpose. She is not a contract he's working on. He'd rather not make presumptions that might provoke.

"I was only ever around it, as well," he says instead. "Magic's not as easily accessed as it is here."

His Signs, he truthfully doesn't count as magic. They're spells, but nothing near the actual magic of a mage.
