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?

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.

[ichoosefight]

[ Give her a minute to weigh the pros and cons. ]

Okay, but what would you need from me?

[aggravating]

He was a trained dog in the USO for a while. Like. Toured with a chorus line and everything.

Considering tomorrow's the fourth and, apparently, his birthday, I figured I'd bring back the song and dance. You know, proper American tradition or something.

[aggravating]

I'll even consider the p-word.

[deadliestviper]

You can try it but if it's not a waltz it won't do you any good.

[takeyouapart]

Independence from what?

[ichoosefight]

I don't sing. But it sounds like you might need some costumes.

[aggravating]

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

[aggravating]

Hey, talent's optional. Seriously, just chanting and kicking is good enough.

But yeah. Red white and blue vintage showgirl.

[aggravating]

Even if I tell you this is actually a birthday present for Captain America?

[deadliestviper]

Even then. I'd say I'm sorry but I'm not.

[ Private : Video ]

[surfaceshine]

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

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

[takeyouapart]

[Brief pause. He's not much for US history but he's become fleetingly acquainted with national stereotypes.]

...England?

[ 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.

[ichoosefight]

I'll tell you what, you find at least three other people willing to join in and I'll think about it.

I can draw up a couple design sketches.

[ Private : Video ]

[surfaceshine]

Yeah, so, that sounds obnoxious. [Dean does not envy you, Tony, and he's really not sure what kind of a blowout anything with the word wholesome as the first adjective in the description is going to go, but. He's still Dean.]

...The Star Spangled Man, huh? [Thoughtful. Hm. Hm.] What's this for again? [He's reaching for an empty page in his journal to write it down. Maybe the library will have something.]

[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?

[Filter]

[peektuttut]

Oh, yeah. This sounds like a great idea.

[buildindreemz]

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

[sharpememory]

Singing and dancing like in a musical?

[Private]

[persuadeyou]

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

I'm not dancing.

[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]

[love_slave]

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