WHAT CAPTAIN AMERICA
WHERE Anywhere and Everywhere
WHEN Day 70
NOTES Intro/mingle for non-amnesia types

[So for those of you who aren't forgetting yourselves, you might notice a new face in Quiet Mounds today. He seems to be making the rounds, by which I mean he's literally running at superhuman speed up and down every single street in town, looking increasingly confused and distressed when they all lead him on an endless loop.]

That can't be the same coffee shop...can it?

[Do you dare help a poor guy out?]

[walking out onto the Heavenly Grounds patio and sitting at his usual table when he looks up and sees what is undeniably Steve Rogers.

his breath catches in his throat. so this is what seeing a ghost feels like.]

[starspangledman]

[That sure is Steve right there. And aren't you lucky, he's picked this moment to stop and catch his breath, turning around to take in his surroundings when he catches sight of Tony waiting there.

There's a momentary double take--he's not sure what he was expecting but Tony's not on the top of the list--before his posture closes up, shoulders tensed.]

Tony?

[selfidentitytheft]

[sitting on the street curb with a yet untouched cup of tea]

Yeah, dude, you've run by here like. A couple times.

[starspangledman]

I was getting that feeling.

You know if any of these roads lead out of town?

[mistruths]

[ walking out of HG to lean against the door jamb, eyebrows steadily climbing ]

Are you quite finished?

[starspangledman]

[weren't you supposed to be in Asgard?? Steve's tensing, cautious, realizing his options are limited without his shield]

For now. Something else just came up.

[selfidentitytheft]

[remember how the first time kei ran into you he gawked and whined like a fox pup?

SECOND VERSE SAME AS THE FIRST]

[whiskeysour]

[just sipping her coffee that’s spiked with whiskey]

I bet he could keep going.

[asmashingsuccess]

[ oh hey. oh hey. ] Oh, hey.

[starspangledman]

[hi hi! Steve's looking increasingly more confused at all these people he recognizes]

Bruce—? Hi?

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

Sooooo. Banner!

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[has to... double-take?...]

Steve Rogers?

[starspangledman]

Thor—? Is everybody here without me?

[divasterous]

Slow down and enjoy the view, soldier.

[starspangledman]

Think I'd enjoy it a lot better if I knew where it was.

[tytosmima]

[ WOAH hi gorgeous

Definitely watching him mingle for a bit, wings all fluffed up against the cold and sipping at a cup of cocoa ]

[whiskeysour]

[She's leaving said coffee shop just as he says that, and honestly she's running into too many Avengers today. Thankfully she has coffee with whiskey in it now, so that helps.]

Yeah, apparently it can.

[She's been here less than a day herself, but. Yeah.]

[starspangledman]

I've got that now, I think.

Have you been here long?

[suckmyglock]

...

You can tell yourself it isn't, if it makes you feel better.

[starspangledman]

You know at this point I don't think it would, but I appreciate the thought.

[tytosmima]

[ underdressed weirdo with big ol' bird wings and a to-go cup ]

... aren't you getting tired, running around like that?

[starspangledman]

Not really. Though I think I've had enough for now.

[ribblerouser]

Oh, that happens here, I'm afraid.

[starspangledman]

I'm figuring that out now.

[worthtempting]

[help? yes, probably, in a sec. or, rather, the second time he comes around, at which point she begins running with him, matching his speed with seeming ease.]

It's not going to work. At least not as you intend.

[starspangledman]

[well that's unexpected. he double takes before slowing to a stop]

I'm figuring that out now.

[nihilmancy]

[Fastboy. She gives him a curious, but not particularly perturbed glance, as she approaches the shop herself.]

It's the same.

[starspangledman]

Thanks, I. I think I figured that out.

[appliedscience]

[This is Tony, storming past you in Heavenly Grounds

or alternately this is Tony much later in the day, behind the counter making himself a coffee]

[starspangledman]

[This is Steve, wandering into Heavenly Grounds later on in the day, not knowing that Tony owns the place.

Oops.]

[supraliminally]

[there's a sharp-dressed businesslady walking out of the coffee shop with a bigass latte at just this exact moment, what a coincidence.]

"Can't" is sort of a strong word for this situation, don't you think?

[starspangledman]

[oh hi]

I'm getting the feeling it might be.

[ananass]

Ohhh, yeah. Welcome to the endless conveyor belt that is this town.

[starspangledman]

Thanks.

Guess I don't have to worry about getting lost.
