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?

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.

[buildindreemz]

You mean, Steve? I didn't realize it was his birthday.

Trust me, it'd be better for the country for me not to try singing and dancing. Besides, I'm technically an ex-pat.

[aggravating]

So you know him? Yeah, apparently is. Still thinking he's just playing on some sort of government publicity stunt, though.

I mean, come on. Guy becomes Captain America and just happens to have been born on the Fourth? I can't be the only person calling foul.

[He's grinning, then, and just king of pointing at the screen] Sorry, you've kind of just bought your ticket in. Skill is completely optional in this.

[buildindreemz]

He comes into the art room once in a while. Nice guy.

Seriously, though, no. Ask anyone who's heard me do karaoke. Bad idea.

[aggravating]

Yeah, uh, you're pretty much just buying your way to lead dancer right now. [He's laughing, though]

Hey, you'll have company. People are actually interested. You can lip sync and do the can-can and it'd be great.

[buildindreemz]

You're not used to being told 'no', are you?

[aggravating]

Sorry, what? I don't think that word exists in my dictionary.

[buildindreemz]

Uh-huh.

I'll be giving Steve a gift of my own, if I do anything.

[aggravating]

You do realize other people are actually in on this, right? You're almost being the crazy one just by resisting peer pressure.

[... He's curious, despite himself] So what's he getting? A bald eagle?

[buildindreemz]

It's not crazy for me to want to spare the Barge from my lack of skill.

If I give him something, it'll probably be a drawing.

[aggravating]

Still holding to skill being optional. The more out of tune undertones we can get the better. It'll sound almost exactly like drunken karaoke that way.

Bonus points if you kick someone in the head.

[He rolls his eyes, though, looking... way less curious, now.] Right, right, artists. I almost forgot.

[His designs and blueprints are the only art he cares about.

... Well that and art of him.]
