Who: Peggy Carter & YOU
Broadcast: Y, fleetwide.
Action: Aboard the Starstruck, if you like.
When: Today.
[ a video feed flickers to life, and fights for a moment to adequately focus on its subject. peggy carter sits in the kitchen aboard the starstruck, cup of tea and her elbow and half a biscuit in her hand. dabbing at crumbs, she sets her food aside and offers the network a bright smile. ]
That message -- the ominous one, in the bizarre language? It put me in mind of the sort of cryptograms and puzzles you might see in the Sunday paper. [ her expression is cheery enough, although she's not being wholly honest about her interest in such games. she won't be the one to say the words bletchley and park.] I loved them. Them, and crosswords. I thought maybe some of you might like them, too. [ ... ] We could do a few together. I'm not saying we all join a club, exactly, but back home they were always better solved in good company.
Let's start you off with one that's easy enough. But there's no shame in needing a hint, if needed. For what it's worth, the text I'm attaching is, in its deciphered form, English -- not yet certain how the augments' translation will handle it. We'll see.
[ -- and then an afterthought: ]
...By chance, has anyone been brewing their own beer?

Steve speaks pretty highly of you, too.

[ can you feel the love? except really she just means to say that captain america is easily won over. he's a softie for sweet temperaments.
so it's a wonder he ever grew to like peggy, really. ]

Someone told me the other day that I see the good in people even if there isn't a lot to see, so I guess that's why Steve and I get along so well. That and the whole "truth, justice, and the American way" thing.
He's a really good guy.

So, I'm just saying, timelines are weird.

The real tragedy here is how the swapped difference in ages meant you couldn't boss him around any longer, I fear. [ you poor thing. she feels genuine sympathy over this. ]

Does wearing heels in the field count? I feel like it ought to count. [ ... ] Otherwise, none at all. I am thoroughly average.
[ even if steve wouldn't agree. ]
