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.

[ She remembers him from their reunion in the prison yard, back when everyone had escaped. A nice enough man who Kay was close to is good enough in her book! Though it really doesn't take much for Himeka to start trusting someone. ]

Oh yes, where do you think the ingredients came from?

[ She says as if that should be obvious as she continues to whisk a thin sauce in a bowl. ]

But there's a detectable difference in food you've imagined versus food you've actually made.

Is there? Can't say I've noticed it.

[But Phoenix is still cracking eggs, and he chuckles softly, shaking his head.]

But then again, I lived off the same food stand's over-salted noodles for eight years, so maybe I don't have the best palate.

[ Himeka is more than keen to prove him wrong. Maybe she will conjure up a "magically created" version of the dish once they're done and let him compare. Just for the fun of science. ]

Oh really?

[ And he's not the first, it seems! ]

I can't well hold that against you. I'd be lying if I said I didn't also enjoy some over-salted noodles from time to time. We would make our noodles out of seaweed, so they were by default very salty.
iobject: (Sheepish smile)

[personal profile] iobject 2021-10-02 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Seaweed? Huh. I live pretty close to the coast and I'm not sure I've ever heard of that.

[He shrugs with a soft chuckle.] But like I said, I'm not exactly a foodie. I think that one noodle stand might have burnt through my taste buds at some point with how hot and salty he makes everything.

Most noodles on the surface are made from rice or wheat of some kind, aren't they?

[ She is, admittedly, very fond of these now, enjoying the many different ways one can steam, cook, and fry them up. So versatile! ]

Does this mean you like hot and salty? Because if you do, I may have an idea.
iobject: (Smirky smirk)

[personal profile] iobject 2021-10-20 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Like I said, I'm not exactly a culinary expert.

[He's pretty sure noodles are always made out of some grain or other. There are probably frou frou noodles out there that are made with something else, but he's never been able to afford those.]

Yeah, I'd say I like it. I kind of developed a taste after a while.

Excellent! Or should I say...eggscellent.

[ Yes, she is proud of that one, thank you.

Himeka cracks her knuckles before conjuring up a few earthenware pots and sets them above the burners on the stove. ]


Then I hope you're ready for what I like to call...Fire IV Eggs!

[ If there could be a crack of lightning behind her for effect, there would be. ]
