warnings: Mentions of sadness and feeling displaced. Will edit this as needed.



A. THE GREAT OUTDOORS.

[ There were a lot of reasons Steve preferred to be outdoors than inside but one of the main ones happened to be because he breathed easier. He felt less closed in and trapped, something that always brought back too many fouler memories. So, he can often be found hiking around and exploring everything possible. He can also be found camping and maybe even cloud watching. The latter reminding him of the simpler times of his childhood.

Plenty of nostalgia. ]

B. NEVER BACK DOWN.

[ With the gym being practically a second home, Steve can be found there often enough. Punching and kicking at the sandbags, running on the treadmills and sparring with anyone who feels up to the task. Maybe even a few secret yoga classes. But hey flexibility is important and hot yoga is something else. ]


C. NETWORK.

[ Given his past few years in the more modern era Steve knew of technology but generally preferred to not really use it, unless it had to do with art. He loved the drawing tablets and how he could make things appear 3D with the printer thing Tony set up for him before things went quickly downhill.

Always such troubling thoughts. Pushing it aside, he grabbed for the current device in his possession and with only a slight look of distaste, he fired it up to connect with the network. He needed to make an introduction and not isolate himself as much as he did the last time he wound up in some unknown place. ]

Is this -- okay, yes, it appears on and working. Hey there, I'm Steve Rogers and -- new here. [ Not at all awkward in the least bit. ] If anyone needs help with anything, I'd be happy to lend a hand. I can lift really heavy things. [ Seriously? ]

I'm looking for a couple of running partners. I can warn that I run really early but I'm gladly spring for breakfast afterwards.


D. WILDCARD.

[ catch steve exploring around and feel free to throw whatever scenarios my way. if anyone wants to discuss or wants a starter, catch me at snowflakecrowns.

a few possibilities - grocery shopping, watching films, early morning jogs, so not looking for danger, getting a drink. and so on. ]

Comments

[ In his younger years, religion meant far more but as he grew older, he drifted away somewhat from the principles he used to cling onto. Losing his ma really shook up his entire life and it only grew worse when he lost Bucky and eventually his own life. There were so many unknown things and it made it difficult to wrap his head around.

Favorite memory? How could he pick only one? But a soft smile rested on his face as he thought of a few. ]

Holidays were always a big deal around my house, especially Christmas. My ma made sure we had a nice dinner even if that was a struggle to make happen and something to open under the tree. We always had this sad looking tree but we loved it more because of that. We made our own decorations. Different ones each year so they'd be new. Christmas was like the start of a new beginning. It took us awhile but I think that's why we liked it so much.

[Kate feels her smile widen as Steve tells his story. It sounds nice, even if they don't have a lot, they have each other.]

Ain't that what holidays are about? Being close to the people that you love. [She doesn't think it needs nice things in order to be special. What makes it special are the people you get to share it with and the memories that you form.] I wonder if they have something like that here?

[There is a bit of a southern drawl to her voice though it's very light compared to most who are from Texas.]

[stevegrogers]

[ Memories scattered within him, creating a sort of longing to overtake him but he tried to push it all away. There were so many things he did not want to dwell on. ]

When you're lucky they are. [ He offered a wistful smile. ] I'm not sure what they really celebrate here. I know there was a festival when I first arrived. It was really - loud. There should be some information about this place somewhere.

[littlemisskate]

[Kate laughs softly.] There's a festival when I first arrived too. [In her case it had been when she got out of the hospital but it isn't the sort of thing she tells people since the one person she spoke to about it got very worried.]

If there ain't then were should celebrate it anyway. Decorate the city in Christmas lights and see if we can find pine trees. Maybe the main area of the communal housing so that everyone can see. [She looks down with a bashful smile.] Might not be possible but I'd like to see it.

[stevegrogers]

They must have a lot of festivals here, celebrating everything. [ He gave a shake of his head, not knowing how to really feel about it. ] What was the festival for when you arrived?

We can make it possible. I think it sounds like a great idea, Kate. We can bring Christmas joy to everyone when it gets to be that time of year. [ Maybe they could figure out a few ways to involve everyone. ] There seems to be a lot of trees around here. Shouldn't be hard to find a pine Christmas tree looking one.

[littlemisskate]

I'm not sure. It reminded me a bit of mardi gras though I haven't been to anything like it before. [She's not the sort of person who parties a lot. She'd been focused on studies and hanging out with her friends and looking forward towards a future. Now she isn't sure what she has to look forward too and despite having free time, parties really aren't her thing.]

It'd be nice. Since they do like celebrating so much.

[Kate smiles at Steve, a little happy that he likes her idea.]
