Costume Party in Honor of Lex Luthor's Birthday [OPEN]

As stated on the invitation, Adrian is throwing a costume party to celebrate Lex's twenty-fifth birthday at the Luthor-Veidt Building in Brock Marsh. Everyone is welcome, whether they know Lex or not. There's plenty of food and free alcohol (mostly wine, fancy beer, and champagne), music and a space for dancing, and room to mingle and make new friends. Some simple and classy decorations, purple of course, have been put up on the first and second floors to create a festive atmosphere.

(A note to those who might try to take the opportunity to go snooping: security is insanely tight. The elevators will not go beyond the first and second floors without a special code, and there's an elevator operator who is very obviously there to make sure you don't try anything funny. The stairwells are likewise under guard and the private areas of the first floor are locked and under camera surveillance.)



[ooc: Please wait until a few threads are set up before tagging! Party time! Everyone is welcome!

Steve is in his uniform, all red, white, and blue. He's even got the helmet on.

...Look, he didn't know what else to wear. He at least left the shield behind?

...Downstairs. At the coat check. Just in case.

He's been briefly separated from Shiori, as the two of them said hellos to various acquaintances, but he knows she'll come up here looking for him. So he waits, folded into an armchair, back straight, hands folded in his lap.

A lady drops into a chair opposite his, in this little sort of circle the chairs are arranged in around a coffee table. He smiles at once, all good manners and warmth. "Good evening, ma'am."

Raven smiles back at the man -- his voice sounds vaguely familiar but he's hard to place in the costume, so maybe that doesn't mean anything. Not that Raven cares really, she's just pleased to get out and talk to people.

"Good evening, sir," she replies, with a grin that hopefully shows she's teasing and not mocking. "That costume is boss. Are you something like...'America Guy'?"

He's not entirely sure what she means by boss--it's yet another term he's just not familiar with. That's happened a lot since he got here. But he gathers from the look on her face and the way she looks at him that it's a good thing.

"Thank you, ma'am. And sort of. I'm Captain America. It was... back during the war." He forgets, sometimes, that people don't have the same frame of reference here, that there have been many more wars since his war.

"But my name's Steve Rogers, ma'am."

She doesn't recall a 'Captain America' from any of the history books or news reports, but that doesn't mean anything. Raven has figured out by now that things can be very different in the worlds other people come from. "Korea?" she guesses, though that doesn't seem to fit somehow.

Then he says his name, and she leans forward with a look of excited surprise. "Steve Rogers from the Inn? I'm Raven! I was the girl in the room next to yours!"

"Korea?" Steve shakes his head. "No, ma'am. The world war. The second one, I suppose," he adds, sadly.

But his face lights up in recognition at her name, and he scoots forward on his chair so he can offer a hand. "That's me. It's nice to meet you, Miss Raven. And to be able to put a face to your name."

"Oh! Korea was the most recent one for me, so I just assumed." Maybe she shouldn't automatically place everyone she meets at her own point in time, but with all the different timelines and worlds going around, Raven can't imagine where else to try and start.

She shakes his hand, still smiling and pleased to meet him face to face. "Same here, although you're not really getting the real Raven. This isn't my normal hair." She tugs at a red strand. "I'm glad to see you finally got out."
captainredwhiteblue: (thoughtful)

He's not aware of a war in Korea; it breaks his heart, a little, to think that there might have been more war after his, the war that was supposed to end all wars.

He nods instead at her hair, smiling. "I wouldn't have guessed. You did a swell job with it."

"It's a gift." Raven shrugs, but she can't help looking pleased with herself. Learning to control her mutation took a lot more work than learning to fix her hair ever did.

"So what have you been doing? Got any new insight into why you're here?"
captainredwhiteblue: (helmet)

[personal profile] captainredwhiteblue 2011-10-11 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
"It's still impressive."

He raises his eyebrows in the universal expression of ...well, his shoulders hunching up just a touch, not quite a shrug. "No new insight, unfortunately. Wish I had more to tell you about that. But I did find work, at Hellsing. I'm going to help with fundraising and do some field work when I'm needed. What about you?"
