[OPEN] apple pie is officially banned from this party, aka Steve Rogers' birthday
who: ANYONE
what: 616 Bucky, Peggy, and 616 Tony throw a birthday party for Steve.
when: July 4th, afternoon into the evening
where: A nice park
warnings: Birthday fun. :v
Steve Rogers, former (and still) Captain America, was born on the Fourth. It was pretty much fated. That said, he deserves a party that has nothing to do with Independence Day, and that's what Bucky, Tony, and Peggy set out to do. They rented a nice little park with some good open, grassy space perfect for a pick-up game of football (American, of course). On one end of the park, in the relative shade of a couple of large trees, they've set up two long tables - one for food, and one to deposit presents for the birthday boy on. The picnic tables already in the park have nice blue tablecloths to eat on. A banner hung between the trees proclaims, "Happy Birthday, Steve!", in blue letters on white.
The decor tries to stay away from Fourth of July colors - there isn't a speck of red, just shades of blue and white, and it's all very put-together and classy looking (thank you, Peggy and Tony). It's the sort of party they thought Steve would want, outdoorsy and casual, just a gathering of friends and whoever else wants to come by to wish the birthday boy a happy one.
Invites
Invitations have mostly been word of mouth and texts sent to people Steve is friends with, nothing too fancy. They just say to drop by and wish Steve a happy birthday, have some food, and spend some time hanging out; Rogers wouldn't want anything fancy anyway. That said, they won't turn anybody away from the barbecue if someone decides to just crash the party, as long the behavior stays respectful.
Food
The food is mostly standard American barbecue fare. Two large grills have been set up near the tables and someone (often Bucky) is usually cooking on them - an array of burgers, hot dogs, steaks, even some ribs and chicken. Side dishes are laid out on the food table, the usual simple things. Here and around the picnic tables are a good place to mingle; there's plenty of food for everyone, and metal tubs full of ice and bottled soft drinks. There isn't much alcohol present at this party, though, just one of the tubs set aside with beers in it.
There's also a massive cake for Steve, with close to a hundred candles dotting its layers - Bucky's idea, payback for the time he couldn't see his own cake for all the candles.
Tossin' the Old Pigskin
They're all (mostly) adults here, so there aren't 'party games' necessarily, but there are a couple of footballs and some frisbees in the grass for anyone who wants to play a game in the lush field. Just be careful if the heavy hitters decide to arrange a game, it could get pretty out of hand.

Otherwise, he hangs around the food, picking at some of it, striking up conversation here and there.
He's not big on sports, but he might be talked into frisbee. Maybe football, but be real here, he's a nerdy sorcerer surrounded by a lot of guys with super strength and muscles that put his to shame-- he's not sure he stands a chance.]

I didn't expect to be here for this... but I'm glad we are.
no subject
Really? Do you mean just a birthday party here or something else? [Because you know-- their lives and all.]
Either way, I'm glad too. Having fun so far?
[Because he looks like he might not be entirely comfortable under the spotlight...]

[ At first, Steve had expected the portal issues to be sorted out within a few weeks. When it became evident that the Riverview government was having a lot more trouble consistently controlling them than he originally thought, Steve decided to hang back until everything could be sorted out. And now, he strangely finds that he enjoys being on the unfamiliar moon. ]
I wasn't expecting to have a birthday party either, but as long as everyone is enjoying it.
[ Ah, the question has Steve glancing around. Okay, so he is uncomfortable with the idea of being the focus of the party. ]
Yeah. It's a good time. [ Right? ] I can keep an eye on everyone this way.
