1920s AU Meme

It’s the roaring 20s, skirts are short, the music is fast, the economy is booming, and there’s a party to be had.


Scenarios:
1. The Jazz Club - Some nights the jazz here is slow and crooning, some nights it’s fast and hot. It’s the hippest place in town. Maybe you’re in the audience, maybe you’re on stage—hey, maybe you even own the place.
2. Hollywood - The movie industry is new and exiting, and it isn’t yet being taken seriously as an art form, even though the popularity of the silver screen is booming. Are you an actor, here to play a role in the moving pictures, or perhaps you’ve got a dream of becoming a director of your own?
3. Gangsters - Somebody’s got to make and move all the gin that this society demands. Get your gun and your best suit, there’s crime to be had out here.
4. Daredevils and aviators - Airplanes, airships, and hot air balloons! Everything flies in the jazz age, and even if you go down in flames, at least you’ll die young and beautiful. There are records to be set, and lots of money in it if you’re willing to try some crazy daredevil stunts. Want to fly around the world? Get your goggles, let’s go!
5. The Most Glamorous Party — Long Island, Paris, Venice, Monte Carlo? Wherever this party is at, it’s huge, and glamorous, and all the most interesting and beautiful people have been invited. Champagne is flowing and all the inhibitions have been thrown out the window.
6. Wildcard! Choose your own 1920s adventure!

Post with who your character would likely be in the 1920s, along with any preferences!

[femmefataleflapper]

[ Oh joy the circus is in town! Dr. Quinzel had often fantasized about running away to join the circus when she was young, and despite knowing better now there is still a sort of romantic appeal to it all.

And speaking of romantic, she can hardly help but blush watching as the muscular woman is ushered onto stage for her show. She watches wide eyed and fascinated.]

Ishida Mitsunari | Sengoku Basara | OTA

[upadly_aniol]

little bit of 3, little bit of 5.

[redwinters]

[There's a gun jabbing him in the back, and there's not a whole lot he can do about it. If he moves it, he'll draw attention to it; he'll have to deal with the ache and if it progresses to a bruise... well. So be it. Bucky Barnes ain't no pansy. He can put up with a little sore.

The music is going strong, a singer up at the front crooning out "I Wanna Be Loved By You". Bucky's always loved music and dancing, and there's a lot of dames here, most of 'em dolled up like you wouldn't believe. All he's gotta do is tip his head a little, then whip 'em out onto the dance floor and it's a few measures of solid fun. He's had the redhead by the bar, the brunette broad who has eyes for the trumpet, and the blonde who'll go with anybody.

He finishes up with another blonde and lets her dash off to tell all her friends about the dance she just had, then sidles up to his target. Mr. Anthony Stark. Thinks he runs the world.

To be fair, Bucky reflects as he arches his back a little to relieve the pressure, Stark pretty much does. Run the world that is. He steals a tray and a glass of gin and heads over, just as the music starts to slow a little, offering the tray at Mr. Stark's elbow as he leans in to whisper in his ear.]

Mr. Rogers says hi, Mr. Stark.

[Gonna be fun to upset Stark's apple cart a little. Stark likes his alcohol and it don't come cheap, especially not if it comes through Rogers & Barnes, Ltd.]
