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.

Ha! You were just about to say 'holy cow', weren't you! [The grin of utter delight on her face...] Hey, Sam, I'm almost eighteen, you know. It's okay to swear in front of me if you really want to! No need to censor yourself, not for my sake or Moozilla's.

[She indicates the big cow monster with a pat on its snout, and it huffs wearily.]

By the way, where's a good spot to park him? I don't want him to get in the way of anything, but odds are he'll just sleep the whole time anyway. I swear, sometimes he's more like a cat than a cow...

stealsthetruth: (That's shocking. I am shocked.)

Awesome! Maybe I'll just let him pick! Whaddya think, big guy?

[She turns back to pat Moozilla again.

Moozilla is already asleep.

Kay blinks in surprise.]


...Alright, well that answers that, I guess. Sheesh, look how tuckered out he is already. It wasn't even that long of a walk over here!

[If he didn't have an arm around her shoulders, it would be much harder to catch: the split second twitch of tension in Kay's shoulders at the utterance of two particular words. It's the concept of 'settling in' in itself that bothers her; she doesn't want to get comfortable, to start living life here as if she's accepted the situation and this world, as being a place where she will continue to exist long into the future.

But this is supposed to be a fun occasion, and she's not about to bring the mood down by hinting at there being any deep rooted issues here. Especially not right now, when it hasn't even been two minutes since she walked in the door. So she laughs it off.]


I mean guess you could say that. To be honest, a metropolitan girl like me isn't really suited for the farm life... Plus Mr. Wright keeps insisting that I go to school for some reason? [She shrugs theatrically.] But it's not all bad I guess! And it's still a huge improvement over Thorne, since I can hang out with Esti and Himeka and Relena outside of a jail cell now. Esti and Himeka are even teaching me some cool new magic skills!
stealsthetruth: (Really taxing those 2 brain cells)

[She's not good, not 100%, but at that question she laughs it off, insisting she is. The change of subject is certainly appreciated.]

Pfff. I'm a Great Thief, not a wizard. If anything you should be worried about all the slick new tricks I'm going to have in my arsenal for all my heists.

[Her heists that she is totally definitely planning to do. Yep.]

Esti-- Sorry, master Esti-- is teaching me about being a Dragoon. There's not much magic involved in the lessons yet cuz I have to get totally Ripped before I can pull off any of the moves first, but it involves a lot of jumping and fancy spear-work. And school... School is mostly about making things? Like fine crafts and stuff.

[She is way more enthused about the dragoon stuff.]
stealsthetruth: (Ooooh!!!!)

[Thank you Sam. She truly appreciates your confidence in her ability to get Swole.]

There's supposed to be magic involved eventually! Though if I'm being honest, I'm a bit nervous that I won't be able to do that part quite right... Esti keeps talking about how it's going to involve learning to manipulate my 'aether' or something, but I'm not convinced I even HAVE any aether to manipulate...

[She shrugs dismissively. It's a worry, but not a very big one. Either it works or it doesn't.]

Guess I won't really know until I try, though!
