  • Swap Meet Spreadsheet: Pre-chosen swaps are green. Assigned are blue. There were a few characters that were selected more than once, so objects were assigned on a first-come first-serve basis. If you have any issues or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the mod team.
  • For objects that might not be immediately apparent as belonging to their owners, there may be a picture or name attached, or players are welcome to have their characters ~just know~ it's for them. Drr drr drr, bb.
  • Party post nights are a great time to come join the chatroom.
  • The topic threads are just suggestions; if you've got somewhere else that your characters simply must be, make your own thread.
Warnings: None yet. Please put warnings up on individual threads.


The Apache is much the same as it always is: dimly lit, with the jukebox playing in the background, and the bartender serving whatever's on tap.

His smile grows, taking on a distinct sense of delighted accomplishment; it's a job well done, and he's done it right, done his duty. He's happy about this.

"Yes, ma'am," he says, recognition lighting his eyes. "That's what it said on the note. Sorry, I just had to make sure. I'm Captain Steve Rogers--" and here he offers his right hand, still holding the cauldron by the other one-- "and if you need me to carry this someplace for you, I don't mind at all."

Why are there so many nice people in the world, being pushed around by transdimensional pulls or magical influence, putting them in her path, and always unexpectedly. "Oh, you don't have to do that," Sally dismisses. "You can just, uh..." A glance from where he's holding the cauldron single-handedly, then to the one offered in greeting. Possibly, Steve is not wholly unused to the double-take.

Slowly, she takes that hand, but offers a firm, brief shake, not especially formal. "Captain Steve Rogers," she repeats. "That a military, U.S. military rank?"

Oh, he's used to the double-take. He gets it so much anymore, since the serum and becoming a super-strong super-soldier.

He nods, smiling faintly. "Yes, ma'am. I'm U.S. Army but I was attached to the Special Scientific Reserve, a joint American-British tasked with combating Nazi scientific research and special forces in Europe."

And then he waits, because another thing he's gotten used to, since coming to Baedal, is being asked what year he's from or if he means real Nazis. Seems most everyone here comes from some time after his.

That does catch her off-guard, eyebrows raising, but Sally mostly nods slowly. Last she knew, Nazis were not a high priority on the United States Armed Forces' agenda, taught in history class and not the news. She recalls more recently Somalia, Libya, the Gulf War.

"Well-- thank you," a hand gesture, "for your service, and for my cauldron. You can-- do you want to meet me outside? I'm just going to let my sister know I'm going home. I have kids, so I can't really stay, but if you want to load it into a carriage for me, you'd be my hero."
captainredwhiteblue: (what do you think?)

[personal profile] captainredwhiteblue 2012-05-06 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
...Kids? Here? Oh, goodness. Steve wavers between "that's not right" and "at least they have their mother".

He doesn't say anything, though, it's not his place. He smiles, and nods. "I can do that. I'll see you outside, take your time."

A pause, and then: "...And I'm sure you can probably manage from there, seeing as it's your cauldron and all. I'm sure you've got moving it around down. But if you did decide it would be easier for me to get it into your house for you, too, well, I wouldn't mind. I don't mean to cause you any offense and I sure hope I'm not. I'm just making that known."

He sketches out a quick salute, and then he strides off, still gripping the cauldron one-handed.

Steve doesn't have long to wait. Sally just needs to suppress telling Gillian to get home at a reasonable time because really, that may not happen, and her mothering lately has been a little on the intense side. We only have Baedal to blame. Having collected her jacket, Sally follows the path Steve took, pressing a thin smile for him as her flat shoes clap down the pavement outside the Apache.

"You didn't cause any offense," she says, belatedly, thus adding a, "by the way. I'm still a little bit, you know-- I'm from a small town, and I'm still trying to decide if you're..." She squints a little, trying to select the word, but settles on; "...real."

He looks mildly confused until she gets that last word out, and then he grins, almost bashful, gaze dropping for a moment. "It's all right," he insists, raising his eyes again. "I get that a lot. I've kinda gotten used to it by now."

He shifts the cauldron to his left hand, raising his right arm to hail one of the carriages. "And I'm glad I didn't cause any offense. I wanted to be sure." Now it's his turn to pause, his turn to try to find the right words. "Where I'm from? It's kinda common for fellas to assume that every lady they come across needs their help, without, you know, asking them. So I just wanted to make sure you knew I was offering help because I really wanted to offer it, not because I was being like those meatheads and assuming you couldn't do something because you're a lady."

Ahh. She grins at that sentiment, because it explains a few things, watching the road as foot traffic mills by and makes room for those that ride on or behind horses. "That must be an adjustment for you," Sally says, deciding against asking what feels like both a ridiculous but now obvious question as to where did you say you were from? Not very long from now, there will be a house warming get together that they are both recruited for, and she will ask then, but for now--

"Well, thank you. Fortunately for me, I've had some practice lugging that thing around, so I'll be fine from here, or, when I get back. Not that I don't think the, uh, gods weren't doing me a favour in giving it to you to haul around for me first."
captainredwhiteblue: (arms and smile)

[personal profile] captainredwhiteblue 2012-05-16 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
He smiles, then, warm. "All right." He's not going to pull the are you sure? thing--that's just as insulting as assuming a woman needs his help to begin with. If she's said she's fine, she's fine.

A carriage pulls up, and he loads the cauldron into it, making sure it's secure. "You need anything else while I'm out here?"
