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!]

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."

At first, Frigga thought the woman that approached them was of frost giant blood, but that went out of her head when she got a better look. A welcoming smile came to her face in an effort to extend friendliness. The arrogance that they were met with from the woman amused her.

Darcy was indignant, and rightfully so. This was her native realm so insulting it was bad form. Her son, on the other hand, was pulling out all of his noble armor in defense of his lady. It was a step in the right direction, but perhaps a little misplaced.

She nodded as she was introduced. "Pleased to meet you," she said.
