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. ]

[ HE KNEW STEVE WOULD THANK THE CROWD LMAOOOO GOD THIS IS THE BEST DAY ]

[ okay tony straight face for the camera ahem you are introducing the next piece of wondrous lifesaving tech from stark industries to a crowd of people who want to invest in your product ahem ahem ahem

ahem ]

Aw, thanks, Cap.

[ THE VERY PICTURE OF INNOCENCE ]

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

Yes, I'm sure you're terrible at throwing parties all by yourself.

[ do not feed the troll, do not feed the tro - ]

Are you bored.

[ because this is pretty elaborated and obviously took some thought. ]

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

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

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

[that song . . .]

Is that for - war bonds?

[sorry Steve, he has to ask]

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.

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

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.

:)]

[ -- 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. ]

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.

--- 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?

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. ]

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. ]

Jerk.

[ huff. ]

Want a slice of birthday cake?

[ 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. ]

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. ]

And you're too good a man to explain to a sentient pony how she's been -- used.

[ manipulated, all within the framework of a childish tit-for-tat between the two men. peggy hasn't yet been able to ascertain whether it's one-sided or not -- all she knows is that it troubles her. after wanda divulged the details of their fight, the total erosion of their friendship, and the resentment over the sokovia accords?

well, peggy's been watching the two of them all the more closely. ]

[Dude, it's totally fine if he tells her; all he needs to do is tell her what he wants next year and that Tony was pranking him. She might even help prank him back~ All's fair in love and fun, right?]

Oh, he was? [Shrug.] I guess it was a LITTLE odd considering you'd be a prince instead of a princess, but I figured humans could have princes live a super long time too!

And yeah, I did! I hope the blue in the cake turned out alright!

She worked hard on this. She's - naive. I bet he just wanted a laugh and used the fact she got excited. If I tell her the truth, she'd be heartbroken. She's like a child. Not that it seems to bother him.

[ and the thing is, Steve does like Tony but sometimes, the man makes it so damn difficult for him to continue liking him which just - ]

It's like he wants me to be annoyed with him. I thought we were making progress, having conversations like two normal adults and then there's this.

[ plucking confetti out of his hair ]

Then he goes and does that to her, using her like this and no matter how many times I tell him that people - ponies, are not there to be pawns, he doesn't seem to get it.

[ he's too angry with Tony for making her work hard at the moment and he'll never use her as a tool for pranking. Captain America and his morals. ]

I didn't live for a long time I - a few years ago, I flew a vessel that crashed in the arctics, you ever heard of the place? it went under the ice and I was frozen for many years before they found me. So he makes fun because technically, I'm very old.

[ he smiles a bit. ]

Turned out great. It really means a lot to me that you went through so much trouble for me.

["Tool?" Please, Steve, you're talking to the QUEEN of pranks. Give her a LITTLE more credit.]

Huh. Well that's a weird way to do it. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are super old too, I mean Luna was trapped in the moon for a thousand years, but Celestia's been that young for a LONG time!

[No word on the aging of Cadance or Twilight yet, though.]

Doubtless, it's easier for him to swallow your annoyance than your friendship. [ -- perhaps she's thought too long and too deep about this problem, but there's little else to do between planets besides think. ]

You were his father's friend first. And Howard is a hard act to follow.
