vingt six [ RL with CAPTAIN AMERICA ]

[piercethecharts]

[ After landing, many of the shops and businesses housed on Frontier had migrated onto the surface, in a hodgepodge sort of sprawl that ensured the ship's main disc wouldn't be able to be moved for centuries. It's remarkable what humans can do in a short amount of time, given the motivation, and as Sheryl sat by the fountain in the main plaza of the ship proper, she could see brick walkways and proper paved roads stretching from the dome under the night air. Maybe they'd take a walk after dinner, she mused, entertaining herself by imagining Steve's expression at it all. The restaurant she was thinking of had gotten through the battles undamaged, though, so she'd let him know to meet her here, in a part of the city more reminiscent of San Francisco than others. ]

[ Steve's expression just at arriving could be extremely amusing itself. He got at the designated meeting spot and walked towards her her with his head turning quickly --- and himself spinning around once mid-walk to get a look at something going past. He almost tripped because of that. ]

Jeepers. [ What is this. He sticks out like a sore thumb. ]

[piercethecharts]

[ she laughs as she stands up to take his arm before he hurts himself ] I thought you'd say something like that! What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a spaceship before?

[doyoufondue]

[ what's this what's this there's spaceships in the air~ ] Ah- I can't say I'm familiar with them.

[piercethecharts]

Well, I'll give you the full-service tour after dinner! This way~ [ she steers him down the street in an iron grip in case he gets too distracted to follow, patting her chest with her free hand ]

I thought you might feel a little less out of place like this!

[ yep, she's wearing an American flag printed tank top. luckily retro prints like flags of nonexistent countries are in vogue right now ]

[doyoufondue]

[ He keeps turning his head to look at things. what's that. and that. He's being good though. He's not pulling out of that grip and chasing cars like a puppy ]

Hm? [ Oh look at that. ] That is something I recognize.

[piercethecharts]

I thought so! I pulled it out just for you. [ she adjusts her hat with pride, then waves an arm at the restaurant they're approaching ] Here we are! The Melting Pot. It shouldn't be that busy, but even if it is, we'll have no problem!

[doyoufondue]

It's a very nice shirt. [ Future restaurants! Oooh ahh... ] Because you're famous?

[piercethecharts]

Naturally! [ she laughs and reassures him ] Don't you worry, places like this always have a table or two set aside for emergencies like me.

[doyoufondue]

[ He nods, still stuck in awe at everything ] Do you usually pop into places like this?

[piercethecharts]

From time to time! I have to watch my diet, but there's just no point in living if you can't spare a few meals to see what the neighborhood has to offer. [ are you going to open the door for her like a gentleman steve :> ]

[doyoufondue]

[ Yes, that's what he was doing. Right now. This is Steve holding the door for her. He's going to pull out her chair at the table too. ] Always good to try new things, I guess.

[piercethecharts]

Especially since the war. It does people good to see life going on as normal, don't you agree?

[doyoufondue]

Of course. It's nice to see a breather.

[piercethecharts]

A breather? This isn't a break, you know. This is the future! Don't be so pessimistic!
