OPEN - (1: Natasha setting up blind dates for Steve Rogers / 2: dates with Steve Rogers)

[krasnayapautina]

WHO ||

1). PART ONE is: Natasha Romanoff + any ladies in particular of the castle who are at least over 18. (Please read this for more details, including how to sign up.)

2). PART TWO is: Steve Rogers + his dates!

WHAT || If you specified that you wanted to play out the initial interaction with Natasha, this is what is happening in the first part of this log. The second part of the log is the actual dates!

There will be a thread starter (edit: here now! ) for the initial interaction with Natasha (I'd rather multi-thread this than have it single thread, for the sake of my sanity). Jesse, however, is the guy to talk to about starters for the dates with Steve.

WHERE || In and around the castle, with Natasha. For Steve, anywhere the date is happening.
WHEN || Natasha and Steve talked again at the April after party, so we can say this is ... May/June? I can adjust if needed, however.
HOW || Prose or action.

I think one telepathic teacher is more than enough for the Knights, don't you?

[recruited]

[ He has to laugh and nods his head. ]

Yes, ma'am. I completely agree. We'll just let you be a private tutor huh? For me that is.

[wildmind]

I imagine I could teach you a thing or two.

[recruited]

[ That's right around the time that Steve looks a little red faced and awkward. He's not entirely sure what she's hinting at right there. ]

You probably could. [ It's said quietly. ]

[wildmind]

[ his reaction only seems to make her wicked grin grow wider ] There's something to be said for expanding your horizons.

[recruited]

[ That smile makes Steve squirm a little bit. Not physically, but she can likely see it in his eyes. Steve is just. Not sure what to do. ]

What kinda expanding were you thinking?

[wildmind]

Maybe we'll start with teaching you some new steps. [ and she'll just yank him in... pretty damn close on the dance floor sup ]

[recruited]

[ Whoa. Steve doesn't stumble, but he does feel his body temperature go up about a million degrees when Nessa yanks him inward like that. There's a very obvious gulp coming from him as he steadies himself. ]

Okay. [ He's a little scared, but curious still. ] Teach away.

[wildmind]

[ she grabs his hand and pulls it around her waist, right above her ass, as if hinting that whole area is not off limits. just for his information. ] If you say so.

[recruited]

[ Okay. Steve definitely wasn't expecting that. He also doesn't really resist (will save crit fail). He doesn't pull his hand back. He doesn't jump back. He just sort of stands there like a deer in headlights. ] Wow my hand is very close to your--[ Butt, Steven. That's her butt. ]

[wildmind]

Funny how that works. [ her hips press up against his, the arm around his neck tightening ]

[recruited]

[ At this point Steve feels kind of like she's trying to pull him into her body. He doesn't fight it though. He just sort of lets her take the lead on this. Why object? It's not unenjoyable. It's mostly just internal flailing in his brain happening due to the lack of experience. ]

You're a good dancer. [ Wow his face got close to hers. ]

[wildmind]

I used to sneak out to hit nightclubs on a fake ID when I was a teen. I always felt drawn to these places... full of people, energy.

[recruited]

I bet you were the bell of the ball huh? [ Because as far as Steve is concerned she's the best looking in this room right now. ] I definitely would have paid attention to you. [ He swallows hard again. ] So, you like these places then. This is kinda like your home.

[wildmind]

It's a lot more lively than the castle most days. [ she's just gonna... slide a finger down his cheek ] Most.

[recruited]

[ Steve blinks more than once when her finger runs down his face like that. He wasn't expecting that move. He nods and tries not to panic. ] When's it not more lively than the castle?

[wildmind]

I'll let you guess.

[recruited]

[ Don't let him guess because he doesn't know what to guess. He's the worst at this. ]

I don't--weekdays?

[wildmind]

You're cute.

[recruited]

Th--anks?

[ He's not sure why she's calling him cute, but he likes it. ]

You're a pretty bold lady.

[wildmind]

Is that a problem?

[recruited]

No, ma'am. Not a problem at all. It's just--I'm getting used to it. Women aren't always this bold in the forties.

[ Peggy was sort of different. An anomaly. ]

But I like it.

[wildmind]

Then you're in the right place. The Knights in particular are full of bold women.
