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. ]

She won't hear about it from me, don't worry.

[ he smiles a bit brighter than before if only because a) this is adorable and b ) maybe he is a bit happy about the whole matching bracelets idea, so what. ]

what about you? what do you want for your birthday?

[Wanda's smile dips slightly, but only in trepidation over whether or not she should answer that question. She'd already told Steve not to worry about such things, and the added fact that it was currently HIS birthday and not her's... well, it seemed rude to steal the focus, so to speak.]

I told you. You don't have to worry about that.

[uprightness]

Leaving it for me to choose, then.

[ with a hint of something more playful ]

you know, the last time I had to think of presents for girls was in the 40s. I might end up getting you something outdated.

[One of Wanda's eyebrows pop up. Truthfully, that sounded rather funny to her. She'd be very interested in seeing what Steve Rogers would come up with if fully on his own to find a gift for her.]

You have Peggy to help you if you were truly so inclined.

[Again, however, she tries to divert things off herself.]

But this is your party, you should not be thinking about gifts for other people. Unless, America's birthday traditions differ from Sokovia's?

[uprightness]

Not so different, no.

[ though obviously no one throws a party like Tony Stark and thank heavens for that, one of those is more than enough if you ask Steve Rogers ]

I gotta say the balloons are really nice. I don't think I'll ever have another birthday party thrown by a pony.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

See? You should try to enjoy yourself.

It's not every year that someone gets to have a birthday party thrown for them by a pony.

[A second later she adds:]

In outer space.
