I know I've told some of you about this already, and maybe other people heard about it from Wanda, but I'm just gonna make this official without sending out engraved invitations. We're gonna have a dinner on April 15th at the Riverview Community Center; I rented a room there so that we'd all have a place to fit. I figure that if we're all gonna end up working together at some point or another, then we'd better get to know each other first - and, let's be real, we all have questions about these parallel universes.

Before you ask, yes, you can bring a guest, just give me a heads up so I know how many people to prepare for. And it's a potluck, so make sure to bring something - buy a dish or make it, whatever you feel most comfortable with. I can't feed all you people and a couple of super-soldiers on what the Perimeter Guard pays, okay?

[Sam grins at the camera. He can't resist the urge to poke a little fun at Steve(s).]

If there's anything I haven't thought of or if you have any special dietary restrictions that aren't eldritch horrors, just let me know.


[ooc: even if Sam hasn't spoken to/met your characters personally, just assume that he's heard about them through the grapevine, because we all know these dang Marvels are a bunch of gossips. also castmates accepted in this app round are more than welcome as well! although the IC date for the dinner is april 15, I'll be posting it this week and forward-dating it.]

[ Ehhh, the shruggiest shrug. ]

It's not uncommon? If Stark kicked the bucket tomorrow then popped back a week later due to nano-whatevers, my first response wouldn't be 'I'm so surprised'.

[wingedman]

Yeah, see, that's not a thing that happens where I'm from. Once you're dead, that's pretty much it.

[Yes, he knows, he lives in the most boring universe.]

[ikols]

Your universe is weird.

[wingedman]

Tony called it boring.

[Actually, the phrase he used was 'really fucking boring'.]

[ikols]

[ Pffft. ]

This will shock and stun you to learn, but Iron Man is not known for his subtlety. What else did he say?

[wingedman]

You're right, I'm totally shocked.

[Rolling his eyes. If there's one universal constant, it's probably that.]

He didn't do much talking about your world; I'm still kinda in the dark there. [Obviously.] Although you guys have a whole lot more superheroes than we do.

[ikols]

For real! And loads of factions, too. Avengers, Defenders, X-Men, Inhumans ... Do you have Doctor Doom?

[ Also loads of supervillains but let's not include them. ]

[wingedman]

Uh, it's pretty questionable whether or not we even have Avengers right now, let alone anything else. And I've never heard of Doctor Doom.

[Which is tragic, really.]

[ikols]

Shame, Victor's hilarious. Why are your Avengers not out avenging?

[wingedman]

Oh, yeah, I bet a guy named Doctor Doom is a real laugh.

[...he's not sure how much he wants to get into this with Loki.] Bit of a legal mess, some personal issues. Things like that.

[World's biggest understatement award.]

[ikols]

Which of you got She-Hulk for an attorney?

[wingedman]

...She-Hulk?

[ikols]

... Hah, you're all going to lose your cases.

[wingedman]

Trust me, it's too late for that.

[ikols]

Why? Stop being coy, it doesn't suit you.

[wingedman]

When more than a hundred governments decide they don't like what you're doing, not even a superhuman attorney is gonna get you off the hook.

[ikols]

... Did you have to sign a bunch of documents and did your team split in twain?

[wingedman]

Wow, it's almost like our worlds have similar timelines or something.

[He knows he can't out-sarcasm Loki, but he can't hold back on it, either.]

I didn't sign anything, for the record.

[ikols]

I was dead at the time, told you that happens, but I read up on the whole Iron Man-vs-Captain America thing on the SuperWiki.

[wingedman]

[...of course there's a wiki.]

I imagine it was a lot bigger with the number of heroes you have back home.

[And not just a fight at an airport.]

[ikols]

Significantly. I think they're fine now, Cap and Iron. Last I saw, anyway. I mean, back home. Stark is less pissy here.

[ Who knows why or where in the timeline Tony is from. He seems damaged but okay with it in a weirdly quiet way. ]

[wingedman]

Yeah, well, we're still in the post-divorce stage back home. Stark got the Avengers.

[And Sam was involved in breaking his best friend's back. Oops?]

He seems...different from the Tony back home. [Nicer in general, for some bizarre reason.]

[ikols]

He got SHIELD too for a while as Director, that obviously didn't work out.

[ SHITTALKING TONY IN PUBLIC, whatever. ]

What's your Stark like?

[wingedman]

Yeah, SHIELD...isn't really a thing anymore. Not since Steve crashed a helicarrier into the Triskelion and Natasha leaked all their files onto the internet.

But man, Fury must've had a heart attack at that one. Assuming he was alive. [Sam barely knows Nick Fury, but he can't imagine him being dead.

(He probably can't imagine him being white, either.)]

More abrasive, if you can believe that. Arrogant, stubborn, thinks he's always right. Kind of an asshole a lot of the time.

[ikols]

I have no idea what Fury was up to, other than he was absent. SuperWiki isn't heavy on specific deets.

[ Just to be a little shit because he knows Tony will watch this: ]

Not hearing much of a difference in Iron Men!
