[open] How long will I slide?
who: Steve Rogers (616) and anyone!
what: Hopping rooftops and attempting relaxation. How does Steve "fun"?
when: June 12th-17th
where: Around Riverview in various places.
warnings: None
i. parkour like you mean it
[ Steve has made his own routine since coming to Riverview, and part of his exercise regimen is taking a run around the city near the housing building. He just happens to do it by taking the high road. If anyone happens to look up (or be on the rooftop of a building enjoying the sights) they could catch sight of the man running at full speed, using the balconies and awnings to create a path all his own. If they make eye contact, Steve will even wave!
They might also happen to see him fall. With the flying beasts still here and there and Steve certainly not about to let that deter him, he inevitably gets knocked off of a ledge as he's fending them off. Falling seems to be a constant in his life. ]
ii. Prijata time
[ Steve has given out some gifts to his friends, and if you happen to be one of them, he has handed those out in person whenever he can. He'll be tracking people down in order to check up with them as well, since that's his way of celebrating friendship on the weird moon.
For people that he doesn't know well, he's still going to do what he can to share some Prijata spirit. He's offering to do sketches for people of things and friends they miss from home, as well as some group shots of new friends they have met in the city. This is more practice he's gotten in art for a long time now, and he seems happy to get back to it. If he notices someone standing off by themselves, he goes up to them with a small bag of local candy or fried snack from a nearby vendor that he's gotten attached to. Making friends is a celebration he can get behind. ]
Are you hungry? I think I got too much.
iii. Hanging with friends
[ When he isn't playing building platformer, Steve goes jogging on the normal streets. He likes company, so if people have expressed interest in the past, he invites them to join him. He might wake the late sleepers up if he knows they are planning on an early morning jog with him, or he'll wave at other people out when he's taking his laps and head toward them.
Later in the day, he's training. Either at one of the gyms or in the park, enjoying the sunlight. If anyone around is up for sparring or a friendly competition, Steve will happily take them on. Even on their terms, because he likes learning new things. When he's actually taking a break, he finds people who are doing their own outdoor activities and having fun so he can watch them, maybe learn something about a new sport?
Or, if he's lucky, someone can show him a better way to get around besides running everywhere. The city is big. ]

BUT NOT SO MUCH AT STEVE!!! shhh shhh.
Is that why you avoid me?
[ He feels the push against his chest and stays put, but the pain in Tony's voice keeps him from responding with anger of his own. ]
POINTS AT STEVE'S FUNERAL
I want to know at least one of you is still here, but you keep reminding me I've outlived everyone.
[His voice drops to a hoarse whisper.]
It should've been me.
HE WAS TERRIBLE.
[ What limited understanding Steve has of what Tony is saying still hits him deeply. He doesn't know what Tony has been through or what he's thinking. What he does understand, though, is enough to prompt that soft whisper full of conviction. He repeats it when the shock as faded some, leaving him numb in the wake of the whole thing. He stands up next to Tony and keeps his arms under him, keeping him from swaying. ]
You should never think that. I'm glad that you're alive today. They would be too.
BUT HE WAS ALSO A BLUBBERING MESS
At least if it was him, it would have been something he still welcomed the idea of on some level. He'd spent nearly a decade coming to terms with his life expectancy only for it to seemingly be pushed to other people instead.]
I've lived my life waiting to die and hoping Iron Man did it before the tumour. Instead I lose him and my friends. How is this any good? At least I was expecting it!
NO MORE TONY TEARS.
You shouldn't just expect it. Tony, you shouldn't just wait around like that.
[ The concern is serious and concerned, sharply aware of the pain now. ]
I don't know what your world is like, but I do know that I wouldn't want a friend to die before me when I could save him. It doesn't matter whether or not you're sick. If anything, you deserve the chance to find some peace. Your life is important because you're a friend... I'm sure he wouldn't have felt right with himself if he didn't give everything he had fighting to keep those around him safe. Just like you.
[ He takes a breath and puts a hand on Tony's shoulder gently. ]
I'm sorry. It's not easy, and I do know what it feels like to be the one left behind. You don't want to be. If they knew it hurt you this much, I think they would regret it.
