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.

"Oh, he's actually quite lovely," he says cheerfully. "Calls himself a Grue, I think he's nocturnal? I met him one night and we started talking about the stars and constellations."
the_archive: (ALMOST a smile)

[personal profile] the_archive 2021-09-22 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
He rubs a knuckle hard across his lip to quell a chuckle, but it's there in the way the lines around his eyes deepen, almost hiding the scars there.

"Well, you do like spiders."
antichristsplusone: (I've got a plan)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-22 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
"I do," he echoes, smugly pleased. "There's one that's been building its web right outside my window, it's quite lovely when the sun hits it in the morning."
the_archive: (Gloomy)

[personal profile] the_archive 2021-09-22 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
He exaggerates his shudder. "I don't understand how you still like them after everything that came of Carlos Vittery's statement."
antichristsplusone: (But that's none of my business)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-22 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Well it wasn't spiders that trapped me in my apartment for two weeks, was it?" he asks, and it's old enough that it's not raw, but too close to still fully be a joke. He takes a sip to smother the thought. "There used to be one outside my door, actually, I just realised I never saw it again after Prentiss left."
the_archive: (Neutral)

The hand still on Martin's arm squeezes softly. There's still a guilt, that no one ever followed up on 'Martin's' texts. That he didn't know. He's not sure if it's rational or not.

"Hungry?" he asks after a moment. "Or really, interested in being hungry?" Since here, it's all a choice.
antichristsplusone: (Well it could be worse)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-22 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
There's another non-committal hum, and this one comes with a good-natured grimace. "Not anymore, I think," he says dryly. "But- it's fine, really. It's not like food in a dream ever really fills you up, does it."
the_archive: (Gloomy)

[personal profile] the_archive 2021-09-22 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Not sure I've ever eaten in a dream. Not one that I remember."

Actually, dreams are not a good topic. Jon tips back the last of his drink, and erases the bottle before he decides to refill it.

"The one thing I wish we could do here is sleep."
antichristsplusone: (...but you might not like it)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-22 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
"I mean- couldn't you just not come to Horizon if you want a proper night's sleep?"

Not that he's one to talk: he makes a pit stop in Horizon nearly every night, either to update his notes or just catch up with Jon.
the_archive: (a smile?)

[personal profile] the_archive 2021-09-22 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
He looks at him sidelong, the corner of his mouth turned up. He comes to the Horizon every night for the same reasons Martin does. And most of the time, it's the highlight of his day.

"I sleep better after a visit here."
antichristsplusone: (But that's none of my business)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-22 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah." There's a dull flush up Martin's neck. "M-me too."

He tries to hide with another swift sip of beer, and it very nearly goes up his nose.
the_archive: (Neutral)

[personal profile] the_archive 2021-09-27 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know how you sleep at all, with five children downstairs."

Though the thought makes him look up, scanning about for Coraline. He saw her when they arrived, but just briefly.
antichristsplusone: (Oh look I was useful!)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-27 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Martin looks down at him when he starts looking around, and follows his line of sight to spot Coraline, sitting on the patio roof with Kay and chatting quite peaceably.

He looks back down at Jon, and tries not to smile too wide. "Well, you're apparently not sleeping with just the one, so..."

"That's why I said it," he grouses. "Doesn't help that our situation is encouraging her to a life of crime. I can't even argue about it - everything I have to wear, she stole from somewhere."
antichristsplusone: (Alright there)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-27 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
"I think the oldest is still younger than her," he comments sympathetically. "And mine would get smacked so fast if they ever even think about something like that. Solvunn is almost fierce in how community oriented they are."
the_archive: (Fuck Field is Barren)

[personal profile] the_archive 2021-09-27 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Libertas is almost the opposite. Very much about personal liberty - If Cadens was London, we've moved to Paris." He wrinkles his nose at the thought, unconsciously.
antichristsplusone: (Well it could be worse)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-27 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
That gets a light chuckle. "Well here's you off in Paris, meanwhile I'm-- really, it's just like being up north, I expect, I-I've never really been before. Just read articles and such," he admits, and the pink flush on his cheeks from the awkward reveal is just a little bit frustrated.

A surprisingly wistful sigh escapes Jon. "Scotland is lovely."
antichristsplusone: (hmmmm)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-10-09 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
His arm around Jon squeezes gently, so he can kiss the top of Jon's head as he's pulled in against his side. "Maybe if we ever get back, we could. For a better reason, just us."
the_archive: (a smile?)

[personal profile] the_archive 2021-10-10 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Jon is aware that he has a stupid smile suddely. He can't help it.

"You know, I haven't taken any kind of holiday since uni?"
antichristsplusone: (Well it could be worse)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-10-10 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Martin just hums gently. "Somehow that doesn't surprise me." His tone is warm, betraying the fond blush on his face that Jon can't see. "That rather makes two of us, though, I haven't had a proper holiday since I was in school. For, um. Obvious reasons, yeah."
the_archive: (ALMOST a smile)

[personal profile] the_archive 2021-10-11 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Next time we can both be in one place. Let's call that a holiday."
antichristsplusone: (are you /serious/)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-10-11 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
"If you ever make it down to Solvunn, I'll take you to the tertiary settlement," he says, with the quiet firmness of a decision made. "It's near the ocean, and it's the smallest settlement so it'll be easy not to be bothered by anyone."
the_archive: (ALMOST a smile)

[personal profile] the_archive 2021-10-11 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
"So long as it's nothing like Brighton." His shoulders shake a little against Martin's chest, a silent chuckle.
