7th Command; Video - backdated to the 3rd 'cause I suck

[aggravating]

[Filtered FROM Captain America; aka to everyone else on the barge]

Okay, tomorrow's the Fourth. Which means Independence Day for those of us from America.

I'm putting out a casting call, kind of. Basically, any chicks that know how to sing and dance? Kind of need you to raise your hands.

Before you ask, it's for a wholesome 40's kind of thing. Not my style, but I have my reasons for it.


[Private to Natasha]
Star Spangled Man, Steve's birthday. You're my wingman on this. [AKA: You have no choice.]

[Private to Loki]
Hey, Rock of Ages, your Shakespeare roots don't have tailoring in them, do they?

[Private to Peggy]
You say anything to Cap, you'll have made a really annoying enemy.

[Private to Dean]
Hey, you wouldn't happen to have found a song anywhere called The Star Spangled Man? Kind of a 40's showtune feel?

[Private to B]
Dancing for me, gorgeous? [He knows not when to quit]

[Private to Charles]
Please tell me there's some sort of update on my goddamn helmet. [He just wants some good news right now :C]

[Private to Steve]
Why're you here anyway, Cap?

[ichoosefight]

This sounds like it's probably a horrible idea.

[aggravating]

Depends on if majorly trolling Captain America is your kind of thing or not.

[deadliestviper]

Not on your life, shortcake.

[aggravating]

I'll even consider the p-word.

[takeyouapart]

Independence from what?

[aggravating]

Uh. [What, seriously?] Biscuits, tea, taxes, and tyranny.

[ Private : Video ]

[surfaceshine]

Uh, no. 40's showtune isn't really my thing.

Feeling patriotic all of a sudden? [Dean likes fireworks, yo.]

[ Private : Video ]

[aggravating]

Didn't think so. [He just figured it was worth a shot.]

Yeah, not really. I mean, don't get me wrong, fireworks and booze, you can never go wrong there.

I'm just apparently friends with the personification of patriotism.

[can_has_vodka]

Well, I'm British, but I'm always for a laugh, you know me. What sort of drinks get served on the Fourth?

[aggravating]

Honey, you could be a rainbow space alien and I'd still try to recruit you for this.

American Dream, Broad Stripes and Bright Stars, Americano, Firecracker, a Brooklyn... honestly anything red white and blue that can knock you on your ass.

[Filter]

[peektuttut]

Oh, yeah. This sounds like a great idea.

[Filter]

[aggravating]

I am full of nothing but good ideas.

[.... He should win an award for that sarcasm right there]

[buildindreemz]

Chicks? Singing and dancing? Do we now add impresario to your list of qualifications?

[aggravating]

Gorgeous, you can add anything to my qualifications and I'll provide a certificate of some sort.

[Okay, but in all seriousness]

Look, it's for someone's birthday. He was kind of a Great Depression baby and blushes every time someone says hell. I'm pretty sure he also still calls girls dames, but that theory's still in the testing phase.

You'd be doing the country a service by volunteering. Or something.

[sharpememory]

Singing and dancing like in a musical?

[aggravating]

[... It's you. He's snapping his fingers and pointing at the screen, grinning almost... evily]

Uh, hey. Mysterio, right?

[He's an ass.]

Not exactly. Ever see World War II USO reels? Dancing girls selling war bonds? [p a u s e] Assuming World War II was a thing where you're from.

[Private]

[persuadeyou]

[God Stark you know she wasn't really your PA, right. B|]

I'm not dancing.

[Private]

[aggravating]

[Everyone is his PA]

Not even for Captain Ripped Van Winkle?

[Private]

[wedonot]

I can ask the Admiral for it. I just received the spare arc reactors.

I hope Captain Rogers has a good sense of humor.

[Private]

[aggravating]

You're a doll, Doc.

[What? He's putting together a showgirl routine for a guy from the forties.

Might as well get his head in the game.]

Surprisingly enough, I think he does. He's not completely white-washed.

[Private]

[love_slave]

I can. [But her accent is a little space German so it's funny.] What is it for?

[Private]

[aggravating]

Awesome. [No, seriously, it is. The accent just makes it even better.] A friend's birthday. You met Captain America yet?

private;

[thestarspangledman]

I wanted to help people.

private;

[aggravating]

Not enough of that back home for you?

[He's actually just being curious. Not facetious.]

Private

[lacksconviction]

Are you asking me if I can tailor?

I'm afraid that's not one of my more developed skill sets.

[If he needs to make clothes he just magicks them up. Tailoring is for girrrrrrrls.]

Private

[aggravating]

Figured it was worth a shot.

[He's not too hung up on it, to be honest]

It's Cap's birthday tomorrow, kind of needed a way to pull you in that was better than asking if you wanted to help train a bunch of girls to dance.

[It's official, Loki. You're a bro :C ]

Video; private

[notthatfondue]

My lips are sealed, Mr. Stark.

Video; private

[aggravating]

Much appreciated, gorgeous.

[There's a quick pause] Also fair warning, you'll probably end up assaulted with The Star Spangled Man a few times tomorrow.

I mean, I get it was the forties, but couldn't they have come up with something less annoying?

[plays]

Scantily-clad ladies shaking what their mothers gave them is a very American indulgence, isn't it? What's with your retro stylings, Tony?

[aggravating]

I think it's like. Third on the list. After beer pong and hot dogs.

[He shrugs, then]

It's a friend's birthday tomorrow.

[strangehistorian]

I can dance...

But, will this be something Steve will appreciate, or is it a prank?

[aggravating]

[This is so totally happening and he is so pleased with himself]

Considering his girlfriend is pretty much in on it? I think we're good with him appreciating it.
