Merry Christmas!

[juststeverogers]

It took an awful lot of work to track down everyone and get their gifts in order, but Steve's going to be running around the Nexus giving out presents to all of his friends. Or inviting them over to his apartment. Whatever works for them!




((Stealing verity's setup--please go to the top level for your character and begin commenting as you like. Feel free to make Steve work to find you, he's got gifts for you all!))

"Perhaps asking again, when her pain is not so fresh, will yield a more definite result," he suggests, before offering the ring back. "Here, try this."

[juststeverogers]

Steve gratefully accepts the ring back, inspecting it before he slips it onto his right thumb with a delighted hum when it doesn't immediately plop right off again.

"You're really handy to have around, you know? Thank you." He gives Schon a thankful smile. "That was the plan, yes."

"We all have our little talents," Schön demurs, quietly pleased at the gratitude. "Speaking of commissions, have they been keeping you busy?"

[juststeverogers]

"Verity helped me get a job with a Farmer's Market in the commercial district. I've got quite a few commissions from shopkeeps since. It's good to have money for groceries for a change."

Steve smiles brightly.

"My biggest expense is actually canvas and framing, which is an odd feeling. I enjoy the work."

"She is very kind," Schön observes, "and I'm not surprised your skill and talent have attracted eyes. Well done."

He chuckles, adding, "ironic, is it not, how the things we love most, the things that sustain us, are often what place the greatest demands upon us as well?"

"Well, I knew that was a possibility when i agreed to my rent requirements." Steve laughs easily.

"...If I save up enough, I kind of want to get a motorcycle."

[u_can_have_it_4_a_song]

"Indeed?" the thin man purrs, "what sort would you have?"

[juststeverogers]

"Something American made, if I can find it." Steve smiles down at the ring he's now wearing before looking up again.

"I haven't given it a whole lot of thought yet. I've been saving my money and until Christmas I actually didn't even think about spending more than I absolutely had to to live. It's the first time I've thought about something I want to buy, as opposed to something I need to survive."

"Ahh, a heady sensation indeed. Well, I shall be quite happy to contribute to the Rogers Motorcycle Fund, when Verity begins her artistic tutelage."

[juststeverogers]

"Just...don't tell anyone, okay? Everyone's real nice and all--they keep giving me things. Way too much stuff. I want...I want to earn this."

[u_can_have_it_4_a_song]

Schön nods. "Earn it you shall, young man. Mum's the word."
