[Did your non-American character think that because they weren't even on Earth they could get away from the obnoxious 4th of July posts? Think again!]







God bless President Cap. I hope you have a good 8 years. And happy Independence Day folks.

I'm sure America would be very proud.

[inebriety]

I don't know about your Midgard's America, but mine would.

[dothelokimotion]

Oh, they wouldn't be too pleased. But I heard they have not been doing so well for themselves anyway.

[inebriety]

If they haven't had cause to elect Captain America by way of write-in candidate then I'd say they're doing fine.

[dothelokimotion]

. . . They elected him President?

[ That's hilarious. ]

[inebriety]

I know, isn't it amazing?

[Tony privately agrees that it's hilarious, but now that he's living it he finds it the most amazing thing that's ever happened.]

[dothelokimotion]

Did they run out of eligible american males?

Or was it the costume? It does imbue one with a sense of power.

[inebriety]

You have to admit there's a certain quality to him that makes people want to follow. It's not just the costume.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki doesn't have to admit anything, especially not that ]

Perhaps. His leadership is not in doubt.

[ But it would ruin the man named Steve Rogers and Loki has a higher stake in that than America put together. ]

[inebriety]

Then you can see why people would want to elect him to the role.

[dothelokimotion]

Certainly.

But the people do not know him. They simply know the role he plays. We both know it is a terrible idea.

[inebriety]

Don't tell me you wouldn't want first class seats to that. The best part is that it's working. He jumps in, knocks a few heads together and rushes off to solve the next problem.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki rolls his eyes. It's true, he would find it somewhat amusing. ]

I suppose it is refreshing to know diplomacy hasn't evolved beyond the Stone Age.

[inebriety]

It has, but Steve hasn't. It's very difficult to get the elderly to change their ways.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ah. Then the story has not changed. ]

They do struggle with the time.

[inebriety]

And now he gets go on about how in his days they did this and that and none of us can tell him to shut up.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His lips twitch, bemused. ]

Did he decide to run America as it was back in the day?

[inebriety]

Don't know yet, we're a little busy keeping the place in one piece. I'd revolt if he tried it though, I'm not going to give up my comforts.

[dothelokimotion]

I doubt you'd be alone in that category.

[inebriety]

There's also far too many people who would be fine with it because Steve said it. Luckily he's not the genius.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hm. ]

And you are?

[inebriety]

That is what people say.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He chuckles. ]

You're far too miserable to buy into your own headlines, Stark.

cw suicide

[inebriety]

I haven't tried to off myself again so this is nothing really.

[dothelokimotion]

[ A joke? Or the truth? Either way, Loki doesn't react to it. ]

I think we both know being here changes everything.
