log 009, filtered from Peggy

[Well, it took a while, but he's finally managed to figure out how to filter things from people and not just to people. Steve's place of choice for the day is the art room, settled into a corner with his sketchpad and pencils. He looks a little embarrassed, but -- there's no Bucky here for him to ask about this kind of thing.]

So, uh -- I don't know how many of you noticed, but I'm not...exactly a ladies' man. But I owe a certain lady a dance; promised her one back home, actually. I just, uh, want to make it special, I suppose. And there's no Stork Club around here to do that in.

So what I'm trying to say is -- does anyone have any, um, tips? For this sort of thing? ...Or if you could point me to some good music, say...Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman or someone, that'd be appreciated, too. So, uh. Thanks.

We could clear out the warden conference room, if you like. Set a player to the music of choice. Private, yet roomy.

A bland location indeed for such an evening. He should take her outside, under the stars.

[Oh god is Loki just going to go through this post correcting everyone's advice? POSSIBLY.]

[rass_bestie]

It's also a private location. Almost anyone can walk into the CES and do. And honestly, it's not the location, it's the company. [Are you a sad loser who needs the stars to do the work for you, Loki?]

If he wishes for privacy he may as well invite her to his chambers, but I believe he said he wished for it to be special.

[rass_bestie]

[He's going to take that as a no, then.] Inviting her to his chambers could imply that the relationship is further along than they are ready for.

This way, clear effort has gone into his date, but it is not even implied that she is required to do anything but enjoy herself.

Inviting her to a conference room could imply that he wishes to show her some carefully constructed battle strategies, or intricately completed graphs.

You are clearly a ladies' man where you come from.

...That sounds like it might be a pretty good idea, actually. Ignore the -- other guy, he's just doing it to get a reaction out of me.

I'd be happy to give you a hand, if you want it.

And I doubt he'd know what to do with a woman if he had one.

That'd be appreciated.


Probably right about that.

Spam or assume?
