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. ]

Hahaha, maybe! But I don't mind being a regular Earth pony either!

[And Equestria's national day is in winter, so luckily the irony is lost on her.]

Gotcha! So NEXT year if we're still here you can get a party on your ACTUAL birthday!

-- You really don't have to bother two years in a row.

[ oh good lord. well. at least he won't have the wrong age and the royal title next year. he thinks about it for a minute, deciding that with winter back and peggy - another year is not a bad prospect, not really. ]

if we're both here, maybe we can celebrate your birthday, too.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[And she'll be up to listening what HE wants for a party too~]

Awww yeah that'd be great! Mine's May 3rd!

[uprightness]

I'm gonna have to remember that for next year.

[ a small smile ]

How would you celebrate your birthday? Do ponies do the same things as people? cake? presents?

[spontaneouscombustion]

So far, pretty much yeah! The national anthem is new, usually we only play ours at big events!

[uprightness]

--- we don't really play it on birthdays, either. It's just Tony's being -

[ a jerk? an asshole? ]

himself.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Nod nod, she knows that line well, it's applied to her on a pretty regular basis after all.]

You two must be pretty good friends if he wanted to give you THIS big a party though, right?

[Haha. Ha. Ha... I'm just gonna... lie in a puddle of my own tears now.]

We've been through a lot together, we've fought side by side.

[ and ok, fine ]

Tony's a good person.
