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.

"Well, I never did say anything about it."

With his other hand, he reaches up to lightly pinch the man's cheek. He would attempt to give it a firm squeeze before letting his face go.

"Still heartbroken over not being your type." Nero laments theatrically, resting his head against Martin's. He lets out a long, agonized sigh before dissolving into soft cackling.

"But that's beside the point, what's eating you, friend?" He decides to ask his question, again, turning his head to peer at the other's face.
antichristsplusone: (Right then)

Martin does wince a little at the unexpected cheek pinch. But it's Nero's forehead suddenly pressed against his, completely apropos of nothing and with everyone watching, that makes Martin's cheeks turn a sudden bright red, and he hasn't even begun to recover by the time Nero starts cackling at his own stupid joke.

(He's mad that Nero doesn't actually smell bad, up close. Somehow Martin was expecting him to positively reek of blood.)

"I- um--" okay Martin does have to pull back a little, breaking full contact with Nero but still staying somewhat in reach. "I-it's nothing, it's- it's f-fine, really. I'm just-- not. Really much of a, uh. A party person? So. This is just a lot of people..."

Partial mark.

It is the thought that comes to him as Martin pulls away. He hasn't been scolded for making a scene but Martin isn't going to let him keep hanging off of him. His eyes roll up in his head, like he's deciding on something. Yes. Partial mark.

Nero drops his hand on Martin's shoulder. "Too much, eh?" A beat. "Yeah, who knew so many people would want to hang out with each other? What is it? Are we all feeling lonely, or what?"
antichristsplusone: (...but you might not like it)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-24 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
He does relax a little when the new contact is just a hand on him, and the glow in his face starts to settle down.

"Um. Y-yeah, I suppose. Um, I guess a few people have-- well, when we're all in different locations I s'pose it's good to make sure everyone's in one place to- to catch up, all at once? See people you might not've realised didn't go to the same place as you..."

"Make friends. Suck each other's dicks or tits. I get it."

Is Nero going to make a new friend at the barbecue? Signs point to no! But he will probably meet some people who will leave the party knowing that they have met him.

"Aw, but don't be so nervous! Everyone will love you."
antichristsplusone: (But that's none of my business)

[personal profile] antichristsplusone 2021-09-24 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Aaaand Martin's face goes red again. "No! I d-don't-- wh- I-- why is it always--?!"

He realises he's raised his voice, at least, and turns it into an angry mutter into the mouth of his beer. "Why is it always sex with you, honestly...?"

"You know how I'm filled with bloodlust and always horny?"

He makes circular motions with his hands in the air. That is about why it is always sex with him. Besides, it's a topic that is generally quite taboo to discuss in public.

Nero loves just being a shit-stirrer!
antichristsplusone: (Thanks Jon)

"You know, I rather wish you'd let us forget it once in a while," he comments readily, and while his tone is mostly resigned there's just a hint of an edge to it. "They can't be the only things you care about, surely."

"What'd be the fun in having you forget those things?" Nero pauses as he waves his hand in the air, like he's attempting to erase the words he said. "Rather, it seems unwise to have you all forget those things about me. I wouldn't want to end up having people trust in me, and feel betrayed later when I act 'like normal.'"
