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. ]

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.]

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. ]

That'll do it. Melts the centuries right off. [Smiling at him.] Was this what you expected?

-- I don't think I could expect something like this.

[ awkwardness levels are at a stable 95% ]

Which is exactly why Tony did it.

Malicious or good spirited?

Tony isn't really malicious but I can't really call this good spirited.

[ not when Tony was bound to know this will annoy him, having someone else to work for the sake of a joke. he shifts a bit, awkward for a moment before deciding ]

I guess it's just - a Tony sort of thing.

I have heard interesting things about him from various people. [And some of the things weren't exactly about this version of him.] Hope you enjoy this very Tony moment in your life.
