Who: Peggy Carter + OPEN
Broadcast: video
Action: s.s. starstruck
When: mid-morning
[ ah, tea. however-bloody-many leagues into deep space and there's still provision for tea. nearly two months on, and she can at least depend upon leaves steeped in hot water as some sort of intergalactic lingua franca. cheers the soul, really. it isn't perfectly like her preferred cuppa on earth, but it suffices. and so this morning finds her sitting within arm's reach of the starstruck's comms, while her fingers wrap around a mug of that precious brew. ]
-- The battle that happened before we came across the planet. Is that a common occurrence? Bouts of cackhanded shooting, followed by the fortuitous retreat of our opponents. [ to be fair, she doesn't really know if it was all bad shooting. she's no expert in space-warfare. everything looks a little cackhanded when there's no ground to anchor your view. and let's not begin to count all the things she doesn't know about nebulas. more importantly: ] How often does the fleet come under enemy fire? Can they even be called proper enemies? Can anyone explain why were being shot at?
[ she's still new here, and she craves answers. but even she can hear that grinding note of too much tension in her voice. she knows it's time ease off the throttle. peggy takes a long (savoured) sip of tea and regains a measure of her own composure. ] Heavens, but it'd be nice if these godawful food pastes could be slapped together in a combination that even slightly resembled a Garibaldi. Tea isn't tea without a biscuit.

Have I? [ ... ] Maybe I ought to be asking about your skills with a stove, Potter.

[ james is nothing but unabashedly honest ]
I am, however, quite skilled into breaking into places I'm not supposed to be, and figuring out how to get out of sticky situations with no time to spare, so I believe I can -- potentially, mind -- lift you some biscuits.

Some rules are meant to be broken, right?

[ james has been introduced to television over the last summer and that whole 'plead the fifth' thing is 1) hilarious and 2) man what a cool thing to say. ]
But be silent all you want, we all know what you're thinking.
