Who: Peggy + you
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Starstruck, Iskaulit
When: All day.

[ as compelling an attraction as the asteroids can be, peggy wakes up on what could have been april 21st and promptly decides that a captain's work is never done. despite a short holiday on one of the less glitzy asteroids, she storms her way back onto the starstruck around midday. she'd have preferred to be back earlier, of course, but a certain stubborn steve rogers had delayed her more than usual this morning.

because, you see, today is peggy carter's birthday. and up until recently, she'd thought this particular piece of sensitive intel might have remained under wraps. certainly, she's never announced it to the fleet (not had it announced for her) but over the last year there'd been an influx of individuals who might otherwise be privy to that sacred knowledge.

and so surviving the day becomes a little trickier. her first precaution is to not even address the network -- indeed, she hasn't got her device with her at all. so if some friend or ally does try and contact peggy, they may be forced to seek her out in person instead. after all, it's rare that she should persist with so much radio silence. visitors and crew on the starstruck will find her in her quarters trying very hard to dodge the likes of both steve rogers and edwin jarvis. and trying to busy herself with 'paperwork', though closer inspections might prove she's doing little more than working on a few hobby ciphers. and let's not forget the copious trips to the kitchen for tea, of course.

for visitors and crew: it seems steve's left the odd 'hint' and trinket around the ship. flowers here, candles there, and there's at least one cake chilling in the kitchen. perhaps more. when asked about it, the captain feigns innocence.

later, when that diversion fails, she heads to the iskaulit. first to the firing range, where she squeezes off just enough shots to counterbalance the creeping sensation of domesticity. and that done, she stops by the space bar for a drink of whatever-the-devil most resembles whiskey. ]

Mmhmmm. [Giant swig of rum, here. Jack is getting drunk next to a beautiful woman who wore his hat and enjoying it very much.]
all7seas: (it is pronounced "egregious")

What did I do? You took my hat!

[Really, Peggy. You are so unfair to him.]
all7seas: (yes I can be a bastard)

If there's one thing I'm glad of, woman, it's that you're not judge, jury, AND executioner!

You'd have me hanging from that charming chandelier before a man could say Jack Robinson!
all7seas: (ewwww)

It would be so unfair, my trial. You're biased.
all7seas: (like which fury hell hath no)

And I assure you, General Margareta, that I am capable of being honorable.
all7seas: (each left his mark on the other)

You say that, but then I look about -- [He does so in an exaggerated way] -- and your Steven is nowhere to be seen!
all7seas: (human nature in'it?)

You think there'll be dancing in this place? [Jack has faith, too, but lately the wenches have been scarce.]
all7seas: (Bonesssssyyyy)

[personal profile] all7seas 2017-04-25 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't tend to dance much, myself. But I thought it might bring in the ladies, you see.
