Broadcast: yes, for a change.
Action: aboard the starstruck, if you're so inclined.
When: current.

[ it seems to be a once-in-a-six-months-thing, Steve Rogers addressing the network like this. it's always when there's something official to say, business to attend to.

he doesn't seem too good at communicating anything else through these. at least he did away with the uniform. this post sees him in a simple black t-shirt and jeans.

and not all too cheerful, big surprise. ]

If you have any official business or need anything from the Starstruck, take it up with me for the time being. I know most of us stocked on things at the planet but if there's anything that you need, just send a word over, we'll see what we can do.

[ that's it for this subject. no, he doesn't want to explain why he's stepping up to the active role of a ship captain, thank you very much.

in fact, he almost looks awkward in light of the next matter: ]

I don't suppose anyone has any spare bags of sand? I could use a bit.

[ he doesn't explain that odd request, either. ]

it's not for me.

I may have totaled peg's punching bag.

if she finds out, I'll be better off throwing myself out the airlock.

[ IT'S AN EMERGENCY BUCKY. ]

[reconstitution]

It's been nice knowing you.

[uprightness]

You're not bailing on me now.

it's not too late.

she's asleep. which means we have a couple of days to fix it before she wakes up.

either that or she'll go for my neck.

[reconstitution]

Now would be a bad time to start.

[uprightness]

we have a sewing kit. once we have enough sand, I'll just put it together again.

[ HOW HARD CAN IT BE. ]

it has to be the same one. she's attached to it.

[ oh my god, she's probably going to kill him. ]

[reconstitution]

[ She probably might, but the attempt to fix it may save him with endearment points. ]

You're going to have to help carry these back.

[uprightness]

i'll come over.

where are you?

[reconstitution]

Just before the beachfront bar.

[uprightness]

give me ten.

[ and in ten minutes, he does indeed rush over and takes half of the bags. ]

hi. Thanks for these. Think they'll let us walk away with them?

[reconstitution]

[ And there's Bucky, blending in like a tourist babysitting a pile of sand-filled bags. He follows suit, carrying the rest and falling into stride beside Steve. ]

I think we crossed that bridge when I started bagging.

[uprightness]

I owe you for this one.

[ what a sight they must make, two tall, broad men carrying sand in ziplock bags from the beach to the starstruck. ]

If I fix it just right, she might not mind it.

[reconstitution]

I don't hear you arguing that she won't notice.

[uprightness]

It's Peggy. She notices everything. I found out lately that I can't really go around assuming she won't notice things.

[ that was such a Day. ]

I'm not making the same mistake twice.
