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. ]

[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?

[ this will be perfect revenge for the fact that steve has compiled a list of namby-pamby 'sentimental' activities to complete before their anniversary. ]

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!

[ oh, please. you didn't think this street was going one-way, did you? ]

[ -- 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.

[What's a promise, anyway? Just words. Or in this case, one word. You will come to regret this, Peggy.]

But it won't be alphabeticalistical.

[ oh, she heard. she's giving him a chance to rethink his words. ]
video
[Lies.]
