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. ]

[Let's be real, it takes about 15. He's not entirely incompetent, but this is still a lot to get used to. Upon arrival, he looks -- a little bewildered. That was fast. And weird. And now he's in an entirely different place.

--Ah. A familiar face, there, and he's of a mind to disregard any of those curves; congrats, Peggy, here's one more guy who won't hit on you at first sight. He offers her a grin and a slight bow, just enough to be polite; and brushes a kiss over the offered hand. Nothing ridiculous, just propriety.

Thank you, miss. 'S nice to finally properly meet ya.

[ oh, good lord. peggy just about manages not to yank her hand back -- but she can respect a person's era, if not the courtesy itself. her smile is strained (but present) and that alone is a mark of good will. ]

The pleasure's mutual. [ -- but she's quick to turn and lead him deeper into the starstruck. it's much the same as the other ships, though it's possible that its metals seem a little shinier. sleeker. ] The kitchen's not far.

[Good, because John's awkward enough around ladies, he doesn't need to be sheepish and weird about introducing himself to people. He follows along in any case, looking around at the ship with interest.]

Figured it wouldn't be, if the layout's the same as mine.

[mucked]

Mostly? It will be. Differences arise, however, when the different augments are considered. For example, we've got both a security officer and lab support. It changes what's available.

[ calm -- cool, even. she walks just a few paces ahead of him. ]

[unbridles]

Yeah, I'm lab support. I dunno if we got a security officer onboard though.
