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!

Note: I've turned off notifs so if you need my attention in a specific spot, please PM or plurk me.]

The tail waggles a couple more times, then draws back behind him. He's used to people having to rethink shaking his hand, and holds up his Right to show just why that is.

"Well, you know, those Nazis aren't gonna punch themselves." The penny drops on just what Steve said. "Wait, you mean that's not just a costume? A party one, I mean?"

Steve nods as he glances at the hand. That makes sense that he's got to shake with the left hand.

"Not just a party costume, even if it looks like one," he says. "It started as a stage costume. I toured with the USO selling war bonds for a while. Guess the stage one grew on me; I had my field uniform made up to match, for when I stopped being a touring performer and went out to the front lines. Because you're right. Those Nazis sure didn't punch themselves."

He shrugs modestly. "They called me Captain America. But I'm Steve Rogers. It's good to meet you, Hellboy."

"Hm. 'Captain America,'" he says to himself, contemplating the sound of the name. "I like it. Nice to meet you, Steve."

Now that he knows that it's a uniform rather than just a costume, Hellboy takes a step back mentally and looks it over again. It looks pretty tough -- certainly tougher than the Torch's, which never seemed to be much more than regular cloth backed by muscle at peak human condition -- but one particular detail amuses him.

"Did your other outfit have pirate boots instead? The Torch loved those things, and I never quite understood it." He looks down at his own hooves, hidden in modified boots of a style complimentary to the rest of the costume. "Then again, my usual footwear has the front parts cut off, so maybe it's not really for me to judge."

"Thanks. I like it too. Can't claim the credit for it; that came from a Senator and the USO."

He glances down at Hellboy's question, contemplating his stage uniform. "Pirate boots... sorta?" He looks up with another shrug. "More than these. They were about the same height but they pulled on and they had the cuff at the top. So I guess, yeah, they were sorta that style. In bright red." He makes a face that clearly--but politely--conveys look, it was a stage uniform. "They were all right."

He chuckles. "Yeah, bright red. I always wondered where he got them. He never talked much about his past -- especially not after the war -- but I'm pretty sure he was already in Europe when he decided to start wearing a costume."

Hellboy shakes his head. "Hey, what year did you come from, if you don't mind my asking? I'm curious how often, world to world, Nazi-punching is still a going concern after the war."

...After the war. That almost didn't seem possible, in Steve's time. Sure, he knew intellectually the fighting wouldn't last forever, but being in the thick of it certainly felt different.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you if there's still Nazi-punching after the war," he explains. "I was still in it. February, 1943."

"...Oh." Awkward. "Well, I hope you win yours. We won ours -- I say 'we;' I was still just a kid then -- but it's amazing how many Nazis I've run into over the years. Those guys got everywhere."

"Thank you. I sure hope we win, too. I think we will, I have faith in our boys."

He nods, a knowing look on his face. "I'm not surprised by that. They were already getting everywhere, where I'm from, and the war wasn't even over yet. It makes sense they'd be all over the place after they lost the war, wanting to run and hide."

"Run. Hide. Work on the latest iteration of their talking mechanically-enhanced war-ape. Steal the corpse of a vampire and get him resurrected. You know, keep busy when you don't have an army to invade Europe with." He shakes his head. "I hate that crap."
