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.

Yeah. Except we weren't called Knights. They called us the Avengers. Run by me and outfitted by a man named Tony Stark. I didn't think I'd find something similar to what I was used to back home. Imagine my surprise when Jack Chessing came calling.

[unhappily]

Is that what appealed to you about the Knighthood? Do-Gooders-United?

[ He chuckles softly when she asks that. He clicks his tongue and shrugs his shoulders. ]

I can't lie. I was running around New York helping people when I settled. I was a little hesitant though. I've been burned before by organizations who don't do what they say.

[unhappily]

And you think that might be a problem here?

[recruited]

I'm a little wary. I'm keeping an open mind. Trying not to let myself be jaded, but I also know that people get corrupted often. It's not impossible.

[ He wants to be optimistic, but sometimes it's hard. ]

I think Wynn is a very good man, but so was Nick Fury and the infection in his organization grew without him noticing.

[unhappily]

That much power could go to any man's head.

[recruited]

He could have something bubbling right under the surface and not even realize it. It's happened to a lot of great men.

[ He just hopes it doesn't happen to Wynn. ]

Power doesn't have to go to your head if you don't let it.

[ Steve is living proof of that. ]

[unhappily]

I definitely don't find anything wrong with power in the right hands. [ spoiler, those hands are hers. ]

[recruited]

[ And they're such lovely hands indeed. ]

If you know how to wield it without getting corrupt then yeah. There was another man with my abilities. The guy who made me made him too. The only difference is how we saw the world. The power turned him into a monster. It turned me into--something better. [ He won't say hero. ]

[unhappily]

Better how?
