Who: Everyone
What: HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY, STEVE ROGERS!
When: July 4th
Where: Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty
Rating: TBD



Pepper had gotten to Ellis Island to oversee the set up for the party at 7AM. The caterers arrived an hour later. Then she began to direct the whole mess as if she were choreographing a ballet. Anyone who has seen her at work with something like this can't help but step back and watch in awe.

By the time 3PM rolled around and the first guests began to arrive everything was set up. There were no less than three dance floors. One with a band to play Big Band/1940s music. One with a standard DJ for the younger crowd. And one with a piano bar for a more traditional dancing and talking atmosphere. There was a dining area with two full bars, all manner of food and drink and tables of various size for groups or couples. There was a VIP section for the Avengers and their extended friends and relatives.

Pepper was currently wandering around greeting people and welcoming them.


[ooc: Per Gwen this will go on all month long so tag in willy nilly!]

If Pepper Potts had a fanclub, then the current president would be Tony Stark. She had a fine eye for detail and he always appreciated that. It didn't take long to make his way to her side, where he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek followed by a cheeky grin.

"You outdid yourself. Way better than the times I tweeted the address and told people to show up."

Considering that he once added #ClothingOptional onto one of those tweets, this much more adult party was a whole lot classier, and a whole lot less Bacchanalian.

Before she could berate his life choices from over a decade ago, he quickly added, "Gonna be busy with all the meet and greets? Want some company?"

Pepper immediately slid her arm through Tony's as she leaned in to kiss his cheek. "Thank you. And I should certainly hope I did better than you."

Her arm tightened against his. "Yes, please. And make sure I get to the VIP section soonish."

"I know I set the bar pretty high. You're gonna say I set it too low. But, you know, it's subjective. Eye of the beholder stuff. Don't get judgy."

He looked around at the party goers, trying to get his bearings. He had a glass of champagne in his hand and raised it in the direction of the VIP area.

"That way," he said, guiding her arm in arm. As he smiled and nodded their way through some acquaintances, he told Pepper, "You know, this' the sorta thing Cap's gonna shy away from. I think you just wanted to throw an America themed explosives party that just happens to be on his birthday. Meanwhile, he's digging a hole and probably trying to scoop the dirt back in over himself."

Just in case, Tony brought Steve's gift anyway.

"Oh, honey," Pepper said in that pleasant tone that said she was about to be as sarcastic as priest in a bar. "Back then your bar was so low even an ant couldn't have limbo'd under it." She chuckled as she kissed his cheek again.

Pepper went with Tony. Unfortunately, them together reminded people that they were engaged so they were delayed by hearty congratulations before they could really escape.

"No, see this is his birthday present," Pepper said with that sly look on her face. "Everyone who might annoy him about it is here leaving him the ability to do whatever he wants without harassment."

Cornholes were not what he thought they were and he imagined that Mantis was going to be disappointed as well. He expected some part of the plant known as corn to be punched out of it and cooked until it was a delectable. He never imagined that cornhole was a game. A game that included a contest of tossing instead of eating holes.

Before he took his first turn, a hungry Drax ripped one open to see the corn inside, and felt cheated that there were dried beans instead. Which he ate until the contest judge yelled at him to knock it off and go get some hot dogs before it was his turn.

After he had obtained many hot dogs, Drax was approaching the game of cornhole with his usual gusto. He won a round against a teenager and promptly bellowed in his best friendly sore winner voice, "I HAVE BESTED YOU! ADMIT YOUR DEFEAT, NEW FRIEND!"

Laughing, Drax shoved an entire hot dog in his mouth and almost choked while chewing it, when too much mustard turned the bun to putty.

"Whoa there, fellow. I wouldn't swallow them whole, if I were you."

Hope approached then, hoping she wasn't too late and that Drax the Destroyer (snort) hadn't managed to choke to death yet - but it looked like he was going to live to see another day; she patted his back to dislodge the heated canine he'd consumed and came around to properly say hello.

Parties were fun, sometimes. She was used to having to work them with her 'charm,' but that had been for business purposes. This was for socialization - and hey, Scott pretty much pissed his pants everytime he got to talk to Steve Rogers so she was sure he'd want to come to the guy's 100th birthday party. Hope had dressed appropriately for the event, her outfit a striped sundress - red, blue, brown, and ivory with a red trim around the bodice and a line of buttons. Her hair was pulled up into a bouncy ponytail, and she wore nude heels - a block heel, luckily, so she didn't have to kill her feet by teetering around on hypodermic-needle points.

"Want some?" she asked, holding out her bowl of berry cobbler. "In case you haven't tried any dessert yet."

A glob of yellow flew out of Drax's mouth and landed through the hole of the beanbag board. The visibly disgusted referee called out, "That doesn't count! And I'm not cleaning that out!"

Drax, who was notoriously bad at socializing, was past caring about any messes. A friendly and known face was offered a taste of a dessert, a word he learned all about from the Food Network. He forgot all about cornhole games or what happened seconds before as he tried a bite.

"Hope, this is delicious," he proclaimed with gusto. "Tart and sweet at the same time. What is this masterful dessert made of?"

Although he would entirely destroy a kitchen in the process, Drax was eager to take up cooking and make an appearance on the culinary battle known as Chopped. A name that he heartily approved of, enough that he would purse his lips and nod a lot every time the TV show started.

Hope had never seen anyone so excited by a patriotic dessert before. She chuckled, pleased that she seemed to have recommended another hit - Drax looked to have enjoyed the hot dogs too, considering the way he'd inhaled them eagerly. 'Eagerly' being an understatement.

"Fresh berries and sugar, and the biscuit part is mainly flour and more sugar and...probably loads of butter," she replied. So not the healthiest thing, no, but who really cared? Personally, her intense training regimen allowed her to splurge every now and then - besides, she wasn't the type to religiously count carbs anyway. Life was too short.

Well. Since her cobbler was now gobbled up... "Want to find some more?" she nodded in the direction she'd come from. "The dining area has all sorts of goodies."

Peter choked on his new drink. "A wrestler? Drax..." Peter cleared his throat and gave him a look. How to explain to the most literal being he'd ever met that wrestling was completely and utterly fake? Better yet, that no one needed to see Drax in short sparkly shorts?

Oh god ... the mental image would make him vomit.

"Yeah. You know what, buddy?" The captain raised his glass in a cheers motion. "Sure. You can be a pro-wrestler, as long as I get to be your manager. I'd write you the most kick-ass rider."

Drax was convinced that his butt could bounce all the cornhole baggies off it, even if they were floppy. He could wear the attire of pro wrestlers without any issue. Including the sparkles. Or a mask.

Although Drax looked pleased with Quill's approval of his plan, he seriously asked, "Why do you need to write about a rider kicking ass for me?"

"No, Drax, that's not what I meant." Peter really did speak in too many idioms. "A ride is a list of things that the organization has to provide for you to do your thing. So, like if you want only blue M&ms or those pringles you love..hell, if you want to BATHE in pringles before a match, they have to do it."

Peter gave a knowing nod. "It's really the only way to do things in the entertainment biz."

Bobbi - VIP deck - OPEN
[info]biology_degree
2018-07-05 01:49 am UTC (link)
Miss a big birthday bash for Steve Rogers? Hell no! Bobbi knew Rogers would probably rather be in Piscataway NJ than be here. He hated a fuss about himself in any shape or form, and this was going to be huge. Besides, this was her chance to hang out in the VIP section, and she really doubted she'd get that chance again.

Bobbi had on a short, strappy sundress and wedge sandals that gave her another two inches. She was already tall enough, but too bad. She knew she looked good. She even struck a good pose as she sat on one of the barstools at a two seater high top in the VIP section, martini in hand.

The woman who materialized on the neighboring barstool was not particularly tall, and her clothes covered much more skin. But she was at least as striking as Bobbi—for being blue.

"Is there where there are intoxicants?" muttered Nebula through partially gritted teeth.

Materializing and blue, it didn't even make Bobbi blink. She just smiled. "Stick around. A waiter will be by. We get those here in the VIP section."

She extended her hand. "Bobbi."

Nebula looked at the extended hand at a genuine loss. And was Bobbi a word of greeting?

Nick enjoyed VIP status. It was one thing that he never turned down. After all -- he didn't want to mingle. In fact, most parties were networking opportunities, and a wealth of information for him. They weren't somewhere where he relaxed, per se.

Of course, when he saw Agent Morse (and the remarkably short dress she was wearing), he felt compelled to at least say hi. It would only be polite.

"Agent Morse." Fury gave a nod at the bartender as he extended his scotch glass. "I take it those shoes qualify as weapons."

Sitting here and watching the revelers told Bobbi a lot of things about a lot of the attendees. It was easy to read people under these circumstances. They let their guard down at parties, not expecting anything or anyone to mess with their relaxation.

Of course when there was someone who was always, but always on their guard they stood out. Bobbi took notice of Nick immediately. A smirk played on her lips, but she hid it behind a sip of her drink, and waited to see if he'd come her way. Patience rewarded her.

His comment made her grin. "The shoes and the stiletto in my bra."

Fury gave a nod of approval. Concealed weapons didn't always have to be shiny and tech. A bra worked just as well as a secret compartment.

"You never know what you could be walking into," he agreed with a smile. "However, Pepper always throws one hell of a party. I don't know how the woman does it. If Tony had planned this, there'd have been far more fights, and much less food."

Who didn't like a party, particularly one that involved condoned explosions? Loki liked that, immensely. Parties offered an opportunity to gain damning useful information on others. He certainly did that while enduring countless feasts and meetings with royalty and ambassadors in Asgard, and he excelled at getting himself into everyone's good graces in Sakaar (until Thor showed up and ruined all of his hard work).

Even though Loki could schmooze with the best, rubbing elbows with his brother's 'teammates' wasn't the most comforting of thoughts. After all, he did try to take over Midgard, which was yet another mess that he fell into and had to claw his way back out of.

Regardless of such thoughts, his head was held high and he was dressed to impress, wearing an impeccable suit and looking not at all bothered by the heat. An illusion was in place, so that anyone who wasn't on the network would see him as a generically handsome man. He also hadn't strayed far from either Darcy or Frigga, whom he was certain were keeping a watchful eye so he didn't cause any trouble.

Perish the thought.

There was another thought he was nearly perishing while he idly sipped his drink. He wondered if Sif or Thor had seen the note he left on the refrigerator:
I am attending the party in the company of the All-mother and Lady Darcy.
If you choose to attend, I will see you both presently.
If you do not, then do be certain to light the Midgardian fireworks out of doors and to keep water well on hand.
He didn't want their home to go up in flames. Again. And he might like parties and causing occasional grand scale chaos...but the thought of being in charge of clean up duty for the rest of his days was abhorrent.

"...we really should hire a servant," he muttered aloud. Realizing a faux pas from previous discussions, he glanced over at Darcy. "My apologies. I meant a housekeeper. Of the gainfully employed variety."

If there was one thing

(ha, one thing)

Nebula was good at, it was identifying dangerous people. No matter how they passed themselves off.

Everyone here was dangerous in their own way, but this person was another cauldron of spoo entirely.

Ditching her drink and her former drinking companion, she unceremoniously bypassed his keepers and plopped down in a chair opposite him.

"Don't tell me you're from this miserable little planet as well," she said.

Fourth of July wasn't her favorite holiday, but she supposed that celebrating Cap's birthday wasn't a bad thing. Especially when he looked pretty good for being a hundred.

But now she was slightly surrounded by people who were sulking that they had to be here. Yeah she was keeping an eye on him. A serious eye.

"Yeah. No servants. No housekeepers either, if I had anything to say about it," she gave Loki a look before turning her head to see Nebula coming their way and totally ignore her and Loki's mother. Well.

"Hey. Hey. No miserable planet, thanks."

Good grief.

"We are in dire need of a housekeeper," he murmured, before falling silent at this new development.

Since his keepers were on either side of him, it would be hard for them not to notice Nebula as well. Granted, given Darcy's usual blunt response.

It wasn't hard to spot trouble. He had a keen eye not only for finding it but also manipulating it. So much so that he was nearly overcome by the sudden whim to sow discord. It was a whim that was quickly squashed down with the same practiced control he used for countless years, in order to hide in plain sight.

Part of that practice was an aloof stare meant to cover up a cunning assessment, one eyebrow barely raised and the ghost of a smile lingering over his lips. It was visible under the sort of expression that royalty bestowed upon a commoner when they spoke without being spoken to, a deeply ingrained habit from being raised as a prince and masquerading as Odin for four years. And beyond that, Loki possessed an impressive grasp of lore and history, as well as knowledge of various alien races.

The God of Mischief felt strangely delighted.

"I'm afraid not," was Loki's smoothly spoken reply, so silken in tone that it oozed faked sympathy. "This realm does have its...charms? Including, of course, the rare opportunity to meet a Luphomoid. I am Loki of Asgard."

He looked profoundly amused while gesturing first to one side and then the other.

"This is Frigga, All-Mother, also of Asgard, and Lady Darcy of Midgard. Or, as you so succinctly put it, this miserable little planet."

Peter had no idea what he was doing at the party but it was free, open to all, and more importantly: free.

He was also curious to see what a 100 year old frozen and now defrosted man looked like; however, the reality made him want to do about 1000 sit ups and go comb his hair. How the hell did that guy look better than him? He had barely ever been frozen! Ugh. Disgusting.

Heading to the free bar, and then over to the free BBQ, Peter happily stuffed his face while he stood off the side, wondering what the heck the VIP lounge was for. Were there strippers? Champagne? Strippers with Champagne? Or maybe it's where the drugs were. HE was surprised at the lack of cocaine. His vague recollection of movies from the 80s showed a lot more drugs than this party had.

Hm. No matter. He had a shit ton of hot dogs and that made life pretty damn sweet.

The hundred year old guy and his buddy, the Manchurian Candidate, were no shows. Instead, there was a life-size standee of Captain America that made all of them look like slobs. Tony supposed that Pepper's plan to give Steve some quiet time actually worked. Still, she could've let him know so he didn't get some teeny tiny part of his usually stupidly optimistic hopes up, and bring a present to that party. Oh well. It was safe under lock and key, not to mention being monitored. Maybe later.

Tony spied Star-Lad nearby...or whatever the hell that guy called himself. The party wasn't up to Risky Business or Weird Science standards. It was tame on a level that many would deem 'family friendly' because Pepper planned it, and Pep was great at adulting. It wasn't anywhere near as bombastic as he would've had it, which was probably a good thing. Once upon a time he was hiring stewardesses that were actually strippers, and threw more than his fair share of hedonistically reckless parties. Peter was about eight years too late.

He was older and wiser and a stellar example of being an adult and....

"Okay, Star-Lard! That is a metric shit ton of hot dogs," Tony observed out loud, staring fixedly at them. "Are you seriously gonna maow down on all of those? I'm entering you in the Nathan's hot dog eating contest next Fourth of July."

There went that whole adult wisdom thing.

Right out the window. Backwards.

"Star-LORD," Peter corrected Tony, his mouth full of hot dogs. So what if he had basically taken every hot dog that was available? For 3o years he hadn't had a single one.

Plus, maybe this would finally motivate him to jog or something.

Swallowing hard, he wiped his mouth on the shoulder of his jacket. "Hot dogs are fucking amazing. There's something about Earth that makes the best junk food in the galaxy. Can you believe that the Millorians think slorg spit is a treat? I mean, yeah, it's sweet as FUCK but ugh. The texture." He made a face. "I can only handle so much before need some jollie to wash it down, know what I mean?"
