Who: Peggy Carter, some rumours, and you!
Broadcast: text, then video.
Action: y, aboard the starstruck.
When: today!
[ a message materializes on the network around midday: ]
Peggy Carter's got a veritable guy-pile of suitors: Edwin Jarvis, Max Rockatansky, Jason Wilkes, Jack Thompson, Howard Stark, Stefan Salvatore, Steve Rogers, Sam Winchester, James Barnes, Clint Barton, Daniel Sousa, and counting! How many more can you name?
[ and not long after (in a state of utter pique and dismay), that same network registers a rather heartfelt reaction -- but this time with accompanying wide-eyed video. ] Jack -- Jack Thompson? Un-bloody-likely. The only thing he's ever got his eyes on is the next greasy rung on the ladder. [ peggy scoffs, disgusted. ] As pranks go, this one's been truly shambolic. The first of April was days ago.
[ in a few hours, she'll enjoy her meltdown all over again when she finds a box of sponsor gifts in the cargo bay filled with stickers, each with a different so-called suitor's name scribbled into the blank space. all of them are filled in except for an ominous pile with an attached note: in case there's so many you start to forget their names. blanks included for any others that we might have missed. ]

but in truth, deep down, it's because she remembers a certain kind of pain while witnessing mister and missus jarvis and their happiness. she's hesitant to inflict the same thing on her friend, although she knows he'd never take it poorly. ]
It would be a change. We tend not to eat together on the Starstruck. Not all of us, and not often.

We're super tight on the Tourist, we have movie nights.

[ and yet she suspect she could manage it -- if push came to a rough shove. still, she's a merciful woman. at times. ]

You'll have to fight Kara for him.
[ okay no of course no one will give him a hard time if he wants to leave, or if he chooses to stop cooking. but he's much more comfortable with making jokes about kara's obsessive relationship with food than he is with trying to figure out whatever subtext he's missing in this conversation. ]

[ cuz fighting supergirl for a guy is definitely a bigger deal than calling him by his first name. he teases, but his smile is very fond. it's always nice to see friendships, especially so with peggy who always seems to try her hardest to keep these things subdued. ]

[ doubling back to his original topic, now that things feel a little more normal again. ]

[ no, really, he does not do angry with any form of grace. ]
Sounds good.

[ the true measure of her friendship: she's willing to share. ]
video;
I'm due for a lucky break! [ so much progress, maybe in 3 years he'll even get that hug! ]
video;
[ JUST FOR YOU, MISTER SCHOTT. ]

Til then, Peggy.
[ he arrives on time; he makes a point of always being as punctual as possible with peggy, and smiles at her as he makes his customary move towards the coffeemaker - he knows, if he wants coffee he has to make it himself. ]
So, how's my luck doing?
no subject
and on a thin plate she's placed a modest amount of shortbread cookies. ] Stellar. In the meantime, Stefan dropped off a whole new container. Takes the sting out of sharing.
no subject
[ he smiles and makes his coffee. pours her tea, too, and brings both cups with him back to the table. ]
How'd you do with these? [ he taps the paper ] Any issues?
no subject
[ she hesitates. ] I've got another little nut I'd like your help in cracking, first.
no subject
Shoot -
no subject
it's really quite horrible. but peggy makes no comment on its contents, and her silence as good as dares winn to try and do anything but the same. ]
no subject
Um, does Steve know we're deleting this? [ it's his phone, after all, and whatever the story behind this particular set of emoji ending up on his phone - it might be precious. knowing steve he's pretty sure he'd still tell him to do as peggy says but it just feels wrong not to at least ask. ]
no subject
[ a cagey sort of answer. truth is, peggy knows thatfrom the moment she and steve had their conversation about the stupid little pictures, he must have predicted she would move to obliterate them. as misunderstandings go, this one had been a doozy. she'd rather not be reminded of it every time she powers up the mobile phone for a lesson. ]
no subject
[ he touches the message until a menu pops up ]
Hold on the message - delete message. [ he touches the side of the screen to remove the menu. 1. she should learn to do it herself and 2. ain't no way he's clicking delete, he's just the teacher here, he's totally innocent! ]
no subject
[ peggy watches the phone process the command for a split second before, presto! gone. but she hums a moment and turns to winn with her chin perched on her palm. ] Is it likely something like that could have been 'stored' elsewhere on the phone?
no subject
[ you can't expect him not to have questions, peggy, that is some message ] Normally I'd say no, but...it shouldn't even have been possible to send it, we have no service here, so clearly the Atroma are messing with it somehow. I can run a search but with them involved I make no promises.
no subject
I suppose things were a little too dull for them. [ peggy tries to live a life under the radar. ] They needed to pull a stunt like this to squeeze a bit of blood from this stone.
