Let's meet the neighbors~

Who: Jubilee and YOU.
When: May 28th - May 31st (Monday - Thursday)
Where: HoA
Summary: It's been way too long since Jubes hung out with the denizens of the house. Plus, she just changed security again. So; anyone who wishes to talk to her, feel free!
Warnings: Swearing? Also: nudity.

[Jubilee will be bopping around the house most of the time. If she isn't raiding the kitchen ~~Sorry Alan~~, then she's painting something somewhere.

Every early morning (like 5am-7am) she's in the Danger Room, alone (Very few people in the house have access, so please ask oocly for a DR thread). Every afternoon (2-6pm) she's in the greenhouse, sunbathing... nude. There is a sign on the door. Feel free to ignore it, have it fall off, whatever if you'd like naked times. (Jubes has no shame, so it won't be awkward... for her.)

Date and time in the subject line, prose/action totally cool.

Anyone with HoA access is welcome to come by! If you can only get to the roof, she'll talk to you there too.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Jubilee braces her chin on an upraised knee.]

Cap, it's totally okay. I don't mind company at all. Besides, you live here too. No reason to kick you out of the greenhouse.

[She shrugs.]

Like I said, grab a seat; there's plenty of room. I didn't know you sketched.

I meant the.. seeing you thing. [The naked thing. His face is still burning.]

[He does actually start gathering his supplies from where they'd landed on the ground, though.] It's been kind of a neglected hobby lately. Or at least, until I showed up here.

Seeing me? [It takes her a minute, then she just grins.] Cap, I don't mind that either. I mean, I put up the notice so people aren't shocked, but if they just walk in? [Shrug.] Doesn't bother me at all. It's just skin.

It doesn't bother you? How-- Never mind. This is one of those culture differences in the future, isn't it.

[He scrubs a hand over his face, because this? This is awkward. But hey, he's still sticking around, and after a moment of shifting his weight from foot to foot he ends up settling down close enough that they can still talk without needing to raise their voices.]

[Jubilee laughs and shakes her head.]

No, this is more I was a gymnast and constantly changing around other girls, then when I hooked up with the guy I call my dad... well, his clothes were constantly getting blown, ripped and shredded off.

[Another shrug.]

I got over being shy about it because there just wasn't time. [She wrinkles her nose.] And by the fifth time you steal a man a pair of pants because his have disintegrated yet again in some sort of spectacular way? Nudity just isn't a big deal.

Well that's a relief. ...Not the.. Not the whole pants-losing thing, I meant it's good people don't go around uh.. Clothesless.

[He's flipping past pages in his book; sketches of Bucky, Peggy, and Howard in dated clothing and uniforms interspersed with more modern subject matter like updated cars and bikes and gadgets that are littered around the condo. There's even one of Tony staring sourly at his empty morning coffee mug, the only time Stark had been still enough for Steve to get more than a quick rough sketch in.]

I can't say I could be nonchalant like that. I.. kind of had a similar experience [boot camp!] but I doubt anyone'd wanted to have looked my way back then. [A pause.] Not that I'm saying people should look at you but it's understandable that they might want-- [Your mouth, Rogers. Shut it.] I'm going to stop before I make myself sound even more like a fool.

[You are so adorable, Steve.]

You are so adorable, Steve.

[Inner monologue, she doesn't have one. Ah well, time to roll with it. But he did leave himself wide open. And he is an artist and she is Jubilee....]

Does that mean if I ask you won't pose nude for me?

[SEE HER HALO ROGERS? SEE IT GLEAM?]

[And his blush had just started fading too. Now it's back with a vengeance as his gaze snaps back up, eyes wide.]

I. Um. Excuse me?

[HE'S HOPING HE HEARD WRONG.]

[She wraps her arms around her knees.]

I had asked my exboyfriend, but there's an ex there now, so I doubt he'll be doing it anytime soon.

[Yes, she's still mad about breaking up with him. Jerk.]

And Remy isn't here, or I'd ask him, and getting Tony to strip is usually pretty easy, I doubt this version is much different, and I need a male model every once in a while and... I'm babbling, sorry.

I-- No it's fine, it's just. [brb staring down at his paper to avoid eye contact now.] Why ask me if you think Tony'd do it?

[WARNING: BRAIN TO MOUTH FILTER MALFUNCTION]

Well, because you're hot. And you've got a different body type than he does.

[She shrugs.]

I like drawing all different types and it's good practice.

[His face is going to be permanently red if you keep this up, Jubes. His ears are burning.]

I don't.. I mean, I've never.. [Look, his communication skills are broken. He means to say the closest he's ever come to something like that is an incredibly thorough medical exam.]

[Right, reining it in before she breaks America's golden boy - who isn't used to her - and Magneto decides to punt her to an asteroid for ruining his favorite Avenger.]

Hey, it's okay. I totally take no as an answer, Cap. I... just kinda forgot you're not my Cap, who would grab me by my ear and drag me to my dad and tell him to make me stop.

[Because that'd work. Except Logan would just grunt at her and she'd scamper off giggling while he needled Steve forever.]

Or worse, he'd take me to Scott... who would actually punish me.

... Sorry, babbling again.

[Don't worry, he'd step in before any punting happened. And right, so this light joking is much easier for Steve to deal with. See, he's even cracking a little bit of a smile!]

So you're saying that if Scott shows up here, he's the one I report you to? [HE'S REMEMBERING THAT.]

Mmm before it might've worked, but since Scott kicked me out? Totally doin' the solo thing. Sorry, you're stuck with me.

[GRIN!]

Maybe I'll just adopt the ear-dragging thing, then. Would that work?

[That's said in a playful tone as Cap finally lowers a pencil to his paper and starts sketching.]

Hey!

[Well, now she's indignant.]

Ya know, I'm twenty-three, not fifteen any more.

[POUT.]

It's 2012, right? That means I'm ninety-three, so I think I've still got some age seniority over you.

[LOOK AT HOW AMUSED WITH HIMSELF HE IS]

If we're going by age because of the wonky time of this place I'm still over thirty.

[LOOK AT HER WEAK ARGUMENT... Also, still pouting.]

So I'd have sixty years over you instead of seventy. Still enough for ear-pulling.

[Also, he might be drawing that pouting face.]

Are you sure you don't know a guy named Logan? Because that totally sounds like his logic. And our Steve's logic for that matter, but mostly Logan's.

Probably met one at some point or another, but unless he decided to change his name after I met him I wouldn't say I knew a Logan very well.

[He flashes another grin her way.] So that means I'm allowed to scold you like a kid, right?

[Somewhere along the line, Jubilee lost control of the situation and she does not like it. No sir!]

No. For that you have to get in line, because Michael has full rights there. And the only reason I let him get away with it, is he makes me shiny toys to play with.

[Like the Danger Room.]

You should let me get away with it since I'm going to let you drag me around clothing stores for who knows how long.

[VALID ARGUMENT.]

Nuh uh. Not the way it works, Cap. See, you need the clothing anyway and since you aren't used to modern clothing, who better to take you then someone who not only knows it, but revels in and can make sure you put your best foot forward?

[ARGUE WITH THAT.]
