Who: Steve 'belated bday boy' Rogers
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: the ss star(spangled)struck
When: current

[ after the incident which involved steve rogers, a misunderstanding regarding technology and some ( very flattering ) photos of one Peggy Carter, Steve tried to avoid addressing the entire network regarding anything less than a security threat.

And then today happened.

The video opens up to the Starstruck though the ship looks drastically different due to the large number of red, white and blue balloons and confetti that seems to be everywhere. To make matters weirder, there seems to be a rather big cake reading 'Happy 1776th birthday, your Highness' and a song that seems to be playing every few minutes and rather loudly.

And in the middle of it all, there sits Steve Rogers himself and his smile is absolutely long suffering. He looks up and waits for the song to end before speaking rather hurriedly, mostly since he's worried it'll start over. ]

--- My birthday was last month but - thank you. Tony. For arranging alla this.

[ is he saying it through gritted teeth? Oh yes. And why? ]

And more importantly to Pinkie Pie who dedicated her time and effort to doing all of this. It's - very kind of you. Can't say I've ever had that much done for my birthday before.

[ and now if you'll excuse him, he's off to kill Iron Man. ]

Aw, thanks, Cap.

[ THE VERY PICTURE OF INNOCENCE ]

I had to get a real professional for the job, you know. Only the best.

You didn't tell us we missed your birthday, Steve!

It wasn't a big deal, don't worry about it, Kara.

[ have a bit of a smile because ]

You - took me flying. That's a hell of a good gift for anyone celebrating their birthday.

[Never ever let it be said that Pinkie won't give 110% throwing a party.]

Aww you're welcome! Happy Late Birthday, Prince Steve!

Action

[uprightness]

--- Thanks, Pinkie Pie, really. Nobody's ever done so much for me.

[ and he's really hoping nobody would ever do it again, either but you know, that's not something he'll tell her since he's so fond of hr. ]

You know he was kidding about the title and the age. I'm - much older than him, technically so he likes to make a jab about it.

[ he'll never tell her Tony was joking about him loving this sort of thing but he really can't stay 'Prince Steve' forever. ]

The cakes look amazing, Pinkie Pie. Did you bake it?

[beathach]

[that song . . .]

Is that for - war bonds?

[sorry Steve, he has to ask]

[uprightness]

Hey, Hank.

[ he saw the post but he'll never make fun of you, bro. Though, he'll never say it but you do pull off the look pretty well. ]

Yeah. Before I served the country in battle they needed my help in - other arenas.

[ GDIT TONY. ]

Pinkie is quiet fond of parties. I can attest to that as her Captain.

[She wants to say 'I hope she wasn't any trouble' but that would be mean to say over the network where she could read it. Pinkie... child sometimes you are too much even for the Mother of Dragons, and yet you ware a sweet thing. She can't be upset or embarrassed about it at all.]

It's why I have yet to reveal when my name day is to her. I don't want to be surprised.

video;

[uprightness]

She's a good friend and - very gifted.

[ huh! the captain of the caprine. he'll nod his head. ]

Ma'am.

[ captain America and his manners. ]

It was very kind of Tony to tell her all the details he wanted for this.

[ aka, the political way to tell her that he is not upset at Pinkie Pie but Tony is a dead man. ]

I knew I missed a few birthdays, but I didn't know it was that many..

Jerk.

[ huff. ]

Want a slice of birthday cake?

[theroadwarrior]

I hate this.

[Max is so, so, so unhappy about this redecorating.

Who decided this was a good idea.

... Excuse him while he goes to find the source of the song.

With a wrench in hand.

video. private.

[uprightness]

I know it's a bit much.

[ A bit, he says and cringes since ok, it's a lot much, way much but can you take that wrench over to Tony Stark? ]

Can we wait with breaking it all down until Pinkie Pie leaves? Tony put her up to this and told her I'd love it, she worked really hard.

[ come on, Max,have a heart. lets put up with this together for the sake of the pony. ]

[ -- hours later, peggy's got a sharp pin in hand as she pops balloons. the prank has run its course, and the festivities have 'wound down' so to speak. each pop is like a little auditory explosion. ]

I take it back. [ she announces, seemingly out of the blue. ] I take it all back. He's nothing like his father. Howard would have thrown up a spectacle exactly like this, certainly, but it would have been a hundred percent earnest.

[ a half-smile. part of her prefers tony's more wry interpretation of a party. ]

[ he's having his fourth slice of birthday cake because look, the thing is huge and he won't offend Pinkie Pie by throwing any of it away.

At least it's cake. ]

I hate that he put Pinkie Pie to it. It'd be one thing if it was his time and efforts.

[ he's at least 40% irked. ]

[girlverine]

[Laura still doesn't know what to make of this Captain America, which is why she keeps tabs on him without actually speaking with him. He's not the one she knows but the paranoia is still there...]

[And yet.]

Happy Birthday.

Text

[uprightness]

[ this is even more awkward when it involves people he doesn't know. he hates to think that this narcissistic party is the first impression people are getting of him. ]

Thank you it's really nice of you. It's never really like this.

I'm - Steve. Hi.

[ yes, Steve, she knows, it's on the cake and it was in the song. ]

[grandstanding]

This may be flashier than the last presidential address I saw.

[Not worse, because there are fewer killer robots being saluted.]

[uprightness]

[ how are you doing, Erik? ]

He thinks he's being funny.

[ a bit of a cringe ]

My birthday is on 4th of July, he finds it really amusing.

Action

[notmutantbutmiracle]

If I didn't know better, I'd almost have believed the sincerity of that smile and those "thank-you's."

[Wanda knows Steve's already likely feeling short on patience with all this extravagance, yet she still cannot help but lightly poke poor Cap. Consider it the surrogate little sister in her, taking just the teeniest bit of delight in her shipmate's misfortune. She approaches Steve with a slice of cake in hand, sampling a bite.]

Happy Birthday, Captain.

Action

[uprightness]

I am grateful that she has taken the time to do all of this. It's just- unnecessary since Stark meant it as the fleet's biggest joke.

[ he cleans the counter, gathering confetti and throwing it away. ]

Thanks, Wanda. How's the cake?

[vagabond_code]

And now the whole fleet knows when your birthday is.

Well, give or take.

[You think this was bad, imagine what horrors await you next year?]

Still cake left?

[uprightness]

Give or take a month or so.

[ cringing. Don't make him think of the encore next year, Clint. It can't possibly be worse than Tony hiring one of the fleet's ponies as a party planner. He has to give her props for getting balloons. ]

Plenty of it. Wanna come over? We could really use some help on that front.

video

[passingthrough]

Happy belated. [Though she's kind of disappointed it isn't now because of tiny fangirl thoughts like how cool it would be having a birthday this close to Steve Roger's.]

You look good for your age. [She knows he's not 1776.]

video

[uprightness]

Thanks, Kitty.

[ he really, really would rather forget this party has ever taken place. All those USO tours have made him less awkward in his job as a national symbol but he's still not big on this whole 4th of July meets a birthday party thing.

Which Tony is aware of, of course. ]

I work out a lot.

[ a smile and a shrug. ]

[aliased]

[ wut ] You're 1776?

[uprightness]

I am not 1776 years old.

[ hey, Arya. ]

The man who arranged all of this just has a really lousy sense of humor.
