[ OPEN ] i know some places and i've seen some faces
WHO: sam wilson and anyone/everyone.
WHAT: captain america cookout.
WHERE: sam's horizon domain
WHEN: third saturday of september (aka, about 3 weeks after the jailbreak)
NOTES: see below!
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:
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.

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.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.
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.
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.

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 (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.
no subject
"Ambrose's flawed methods nearly killed a girl caught up in them." Sam says in return, watching Kylo closely. "And while it wasn't Ambrose who did it, his methods kept her, and anyone else in that dungeon, at risk. Waiting around wasn't an option anymore." But Sam had tried it - he tried it for the months they were there, and despite his own rising concern, had been prepared to wait a little longer. The portals had just provided an earlier solution for a present problem that Sam couldn't risk anyone in those dungeons missing out on.
But Kylo does have a point, and maybe it's also easy to imagine that Kylo can read that as well - that Sam doesn't disagree with him, that he'd been hesitant about leaving the one place who they'd all known to bring them here. Who had the understanding of magic necessary, and who would most likely be the ones to let people go home. Sam, who has no propensity towards magic, who barely understands what it's even supposed to be, wasn't going to be of help in Thorne. Had already started feeling trapped and restless. But in the cities? He can do more out here than he could in that castle.
"You'd be surprised how much of a core belief can change, if you sit down and talk to people. And I can't sit back without trying." Pessimism has never sat well with Sam, and whether or not Kylo wanted to call it being realistic or not, Sam's decision wasn't going to change.
That is when he shrugs, not quite smiling but appearing less tense, less on the job, than he had a moment before. "Worse comes to worse, we'll keep each other updated through the Horizon. Unless you're actually ready to give up on everyone who chose to leave?"
no subject
Kylo offers a thin smile that rather suggests he is entirely willing to let anyone who chose to leave to their own devices, actually, but it's Sam's comment about a girl caught up in Ambrose's methods that catches his attention.
"What girl?"
no subject
"Relena Peacecraft." He says, with a dark, serious, and protective shadow to his brow. "You heard about her disappearing, yeah? How she'd been in the dungeons and then wasn't? It was Queen who took her. The Queen and that one mage- Grigory." Sam shakes his head, as if feeling himself get a little too worked up and pulling himself back from it.
no subject
Kylo's surprise is immediately visible— a brief but notable departure from the usual set of his jaw, a widening of the eyes.
"Troubling," he comments after a moment, the weight of a frown crushing shock out of his expression. "Jolene and I had suspected Grigory's involvement, but not the Queen. I had thought Oliver might be involved, that he had used agents within Thorne to take her and use her connection to the Singularity to facilitate the breakout. Thorne's own Queen being involved... this complicates things considerably."
no subject
"She was willing to risk Relena's life, and one of her own people, to see if her experiments worked. They want our connection to the Singularity for themselves, and there are people in that castle who are willing to go to extreme lengths to figure it out. You can't blame people for taking whatever option they had to get out of that."
There's a look that breaks through Sam's expression, then. The hard lines of his frown giving way to a softer brow. He looks worried, which isn't a new expression, necessarily. But there is a kind of contrast between the angry protectiveness from moments before. "I'm not saying everyone in that castle is out to use us like lab rats, but man. If the queen's behind it, that place isn't safe. I know you can take care of yourself- but watch your back while you're there."
