Who: Peggy Carter and YOU
Broadcast: Audio + Text
Action: Aboard the Starstruck.
When: Evening
[ it's been a long day. long week. long bloody month. and tonight, in the rebuilt space of a bedroom now properly shared, peggy carter is reading a book. not just any book, really. but that's a story for another time. for now, she's prepared to proceed publicly as though nothing is amiss.
in the handful of hours before bed, she takes to the network with a brief puzzle. ]
[ and attached to the text is an audio messsage. ]
I know it's been a little while since the last one -- and some of you lot who most enjoyed them have gone and left. So we'll ease back into it with something simple. Simple, but no less fundamental. Solving it is all well and good but, as always, there are bragging rights up for grabs for anyone who names the source. Fair warning -- English is the native tongue.
And while I've got your attention, I suppose I ought to do my due diligence [ however reluctantly ] and ask whether anyone else has purchased the upgrade which merges two rooms together. It may be worthwhile to swap notes on how those changes came into effect.
[ and that's that. although she'll be awake for a little while yet -- answering messages and putting on a brave face. truth is, things have gone pear-shaped and she's only just realizing how much recovery yet required. those aboard or visiting the starstruck can find her at her desk, hatch left open, in her and steve's newly merged room. ]
( ooc: and because not everyone has the out-of-character time or inclination for codebreaking, here is the quotation peggy's posted using a caesar shift. )

[ and there isn't a trace of sarcasm in his voice. if anything, he seems so very serious about it. it's spoken with such conviction that one might think it's the most pressing matter at the moment. for all the sharpness, he does seem to be entirely convinced she has never been more endearing.
it's probably all because of the ring. ]

she waves him off. ]
Stop it. [ peggy complains. threatens. ] Before I change my mind and remember some bit of paperwork I need to stay back and finish.

[ he raises both arms, signals his utter surrender when faced with the threat of paperwork. ]
Nothing at all. I'm going.
[ backing out and oh, he does it quickly. ]

for inspection. but she doesn't say so -- let him infer it all on his own. the distraction from what happened earlier will be a welcome one.
and the time alone, in the interim, will allow her to breathe deep and centre herself.
but otherwise, she awaits him exactly where she said she would. arms crossed, she leans against one of the shuttles left behind after max took his and skedaddled. ]
