[video] asking the important questions

Who: Ahsoka + you
Broadcast: fleedwide video
Action: you can find her on the starstruck if you want
When: idk now?

Hey guys! I have a bit of a weird question for you today.

Did anyone by any chance stock up on apples before we left the Starlight? Or... apple puree, maybe? Or, um. Apple-anything-not-in-a-protein-cube? It's important. I promise.

I'd be willing to trade you credits or food from the Starstruck in exchange. We have a lot of dried and frozen meat. Like. A lot.

On an unrelated-but-not-really note...

Does anyone know how to make apple pie?

--

New broadcast, 5 minutes later: ... Apparently you need flour and butter too. Do we have any of those things?

[ oh, well. apple pie, she supposes, can wait. peggy hooks her fingers (red polish and all) around the gun's handle and pries it gently from its holster. it's of no make or precise model with which she's familiar, but its basic construction is exactly like any other revolver back home. it's large and a little clunky-looking. revolvers aren't rare things in the '40s, but this one has always struck her as being particularly crude. ]

So named because of its revolving cylinder, here in the centre. [ peggy knocks the piece against her palm and pushes its guts open. there shines the bottoms of six brassish-golden bullets. ] Six rounds a pop, if it's fully loaded. Slow to reload and the kickback's a nightmare. But it does its job.

[ she gives the cylinder a gentle spin. ]

If you're doing it right, all you need is one.

[ but perhaps, given ahsoka's incredulity, it's best if she doesn't go on to profess a penchant for shotguns. there are (of course) options with larger magazines. ]
mucked: (☂ you got a fast car)

I can't say that's exactly an option, back where I come from. Such weapons don't exist. [ or they did and they were in the hands of hydra operatives. but that's another problem. ] I'm perfect comfortable with the guns the Atroma provide through any security augments here on board, but -- there's a comfort in the familiar, Ahsoka. Like I said, I don't own it for its practicality.

[ -- she can taste the skepticism on the air. might as well come clean, she supposed: ] Myself and two others had been working on a shooting range over on the Iskaulit. They're gone, now. Jim was one of them. Perhaps you know the other -- Natasha. Some people bake apple pies, Ahsoka. And others empty their six-shooters.

[ they all had their ways to salute the fallen. ]
mucked: (☂ we saw you lying in the road)

The advantage to older technologies, my dear, is that they aren't so complex that your average layman or blacksmith can't cobble together a box of bullets. It's all powder and metal. No precarious circuits to care for.
mucked: (☂ to steal the jewels)

-- How about we start with apple pie, hmm? [ it's not that she's disinterested. after all, peggy craves mastery in many things. but she knows better than to spread her expertise so thin by learning more than a few things at once. ]
mucked: ( easystreet ) (☂ my myself i got nothing to prove)

I confess, I'm no gourmet chef myself. But -- recipes are recipes, yes? [ directions. orders. ] We only need to follow what it says.

[ give her a moment while she pulls the document up on her device. ]
