Party for the USA

[brothor]

Who: ANYONE 
Tone: SURPRISE PARTY
Rating: PG-13 f
When: America day (July 4th)
Where: Odinson manor, Wales (idek guys)
What: Thor is throwing Steve a SURPRISE PARTY and EVERYONE IS INVITED
Status: Ongoing

[FINALLY! The dawn America day! Steve would soon arrive expecting nothing more than a sleepover. HOW WRONG HE WAS! Thor has set up a nice little shindig here and his parents were kind enough to leave the kids for some totally cool unsupervised party time.

The Odinson house is quite large and filled with quite a few curious wizarding quirks, so this time the halfbloods will be the ones getting culture shocked.]

[arrogantalloy]

You wouldn't?

[Gives Arthur a curious look]

It's what I do at parties.

[rule_britannia]

I don't tend to do parties.

[Which may be evidenced by how uncomfortable he's looked the entire time he's been here]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony only noticed him when he got in range of Bruce. So missed all his discomfort]

Then what do you do with all your time then?

[rule_britannia]

Things that aren't parties.

[He frowns, rubbing the back of his neck]

I read a lot.

[arrogantalloy]

You bumped into Bruce in the library didn't you? Because really this starting to sound like some weird meant to be thing. The only reason Bruce shows up to parties is because I force him.

[rule_britannia]

No, actually..

[Just when you thought Arthur couldn't look more awkward, there it is]

He offered me some advice.

[arrogantalloy]

Advise? On what? Studying? Biology?

[Raises a high eyebrow]

[rule_britannia]

... One of my older brothers gave me a black eye.

[arrogantalloy]

Oh. Well yeah he has experience with dealing with those.

[rule_britannia]

Mm, that was the impression I got.

[arrogantalloy]

[He shrugs vaguely]

Not everyone has the protection of being 'evil' like Syltherin's.

[rule_britannia]

That's house profiling and I resent it.

[arrogantalloy]

Blame the hat, and statistics. How many Gryffindor have you heard of on first name basis with anyone in Knockturn alley? Auror's don't count.

Are you trying to tell me that you don't look at us Ravenclaw and think 'Nerd'?

[rule_britannia]

My mother and eldest brother were Ravenclaws. I've a rather good opinion of them.

[arrogantalloy]

My mom was a Hufflepuff. I still think they're boring and easier to forget than other houses.

[Admittedly, didn't have the best relationship with his parents]

And Thor and Steve are my friends. I still think Gryffindor are too A-type and honour bound to life.

[rule_britannia]

That may be more a trait of the people than the house.

[Arthur gives a small, wry smile, and a light shrug of his shoulders]

Though your opinion on Gryffindors is one I can agree with... and that's a personal opinion, not because I'm a Slytherin.

[arrogantalloy]

Our traits are what puts us in our houses. At least that's what the hat was mumbling at me.

I think everyone has that opinion of them, I mean come on. Look at them

[Gestures at a crowd of Gryffindor]

So clique is hurts.

[rule_britannia]

[He chuckles a bit]

You're not kidding. You know, you're not as bad as I thought.

[arrogantalloy]

Believe me. I am exactly how you first thought. I've just promised to be good at this party.

I've only just healed from my last disagreement with someone I'd promised to be a boy for at this party. This face is what gets me out of a lot of trouble. And I don't need it bruised again.

[Talking very casually about this]

[rule_britannia]

You're capable of holding conversation without consistently being a complete tosser - believe me, first impressions don't hold up.

[Wait, what]

... You're going to have to elaborate on that.

[arrogantalloy]

Only because you stopped giving me a reason to be a 'tosser'

[Oh how that sounds weird in an American accent]

What's there to elaborate on? All pretty straight forward when you think about it.

[rule_britannia]

I'm getting the feeling I'd rather not think about it.

[arrogantalloy]

So I'm guessing you didn't hear about the fight in the courtyard between a Gryfindor and a Ravenclaw just before the dance then?

[rule_britannia]

[There's a small shake of his head]

Can't say I did.

[arrogantalloy]

Probably one of the few then. Words were said, fists flew. I came out as bruised as I expected to be.
