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. ]

Our briefest of greetings was enough to inform me of his plight. Steven plugs on, in spite of all of his many grievances.
Can't even get drunk, him...mumble mumble....
video
video
[Steve never complained about anything. Jack is interpolating. Exaggerating. Imagining what his life must be like as Peggy's First Mate.]
Haranguing him left and right! No quarter, never!
[He's also projecting. A lot.]
video
So it falls to you, then, to broker some clemency on his behalf?
video
video
[ this will be perfect revenge for the fact that steve has compiled a list of namby-pamby 'sentimental' activities to complete before their anniversary. ]
video
Next system we reach, let him enjoy the finer things. Food. Drink. Entertainment. He doesn't need to be at your merciless beck and call at all times!
video
[ oh, please. you didn't think this street was going one-way, did you? ]
video
video
video
video
[ -- well. there's a strange reluctant charm to the concept. ]
video
Me, I'm just trying to put things right for the poor soul! He's clearly in right over his head, and far too sober.
video
video
[What's a promise, anyway? Just words. Or in this case, one word. You will come to regret this, Peggy.]
video

video
video
video
But it won't be alphabeticalistical.
video
[ oh, she heard. she's giving him a chance to rethink his words. ]
video
[Lies.]
