001 } Can't keep my eyes from circling skies.
Who: Howard Stark & You
Broadcast: Network
Action: SS Bishop (cockpit)
When: Right meow!
( OPEN BROADCAST )
[ howard has been here a few days, enough to suss out that something has happened. it's caused a bit of disquiet among his crewmembers already since apparently their captain died or something?! whatever. he's finding it disturbingly easy to fall back into this role. peggy told him how long it's been and who else is among them, but in usual peggy fashion: not much else. it's left him bereft and even a bit listless which is very uncharacteristic indeed.
he sets his communicator on the control panel so he can record as he flies. as a result, the feed is much more low-key and features a cool, collected version of howard those who know him might not expect. howard nods his head once to show that he is in fact recording on purpose. ] I hope my Huntress is in good hands. Though I guess... she isn't mine anymore. Forgive me, I'm usually not so bittersweet when saying goodbye to a lady friend. [ something of a wan look shadows his gaze, but it's quick, just a glimmer really. ]
Howard Stark. Ace inventor, innovator, pilot, and now director. [ a bit of a lopsided grin begins to spread across his lips, his mustache twitching with the movement. ] I'm also usually pretty charming if you can believe it. I would say you all missed me, it's been so long, but the turnover in this place is something else.
[ he hesitates over this next part, but he needs the intel. he knows questions will follow, but right now he doesn't care. later he'll be annoyed with himself, naturally. ] And if any of you used to know a Tony Stark or are holding his research... get in touch. [ tightly: ] Please.

Hi-de-ho, old pal. [ a warm smile is reserved for his closest friend, even if he doesn't always treat him that way. or most of the time. whoops. ]
( ACTION SHENANIGANS )
Howard has been more-or-less just going through the motions since being assigned to the Bishop. He was actually a bit releaved to be off the Marsiva and have something to occupy his time with, truthfully. But with their captain MIA and everything more than slightly hectic, he's thrown himself into the work full on. He can really only be found in the cockpit or in his quarters for maybe two hours a night/morning. Even trips to the galley are extremely short-lived and involve toting snacks to the pilot's seat. With that said, he will be outspoken when matters of the ship come up that the captain would usually handle. It's easy for him to become attached and though he doesn't know these people yet, he feels responsible for them.
He hates responsibility.

And she will even playfully roll her eyes at that comment.]
In my experience, a lot of people tend to think that "no" means "yes."

It's not easy being this cool and successful. We just make it look that way. We can't blame them for wanting to ride our coattails. [ yepppp definitely talking about himself now. welp. so for real tho ]
...Your augment. I'm just curious because I knew how to fly before. Planes, not spaceships, but same basic concept. Are you-- do you have a background in the sciences? [ there howard use your words. gj ]
wtf chrome, I WASN'T DONE
Also not entirely inaccurate, but mostly fun.
Once the subject of her augment comes up, Pidge lets the small talk drop. She's not good at it anyway, and now they can talk about science. Much more interesting. It definitely helps that the subject came up a little less... abruptly.]
Oh. Oh! [Pidge even half-smiles, just barely stopping herself from reaching up to touch behind her ear, where the implant is.] Yeah, I do actually. I'm kind of the resident techie on my team back home. These ships are different, but they're still really cool to learn about.
ruuude
You should show me the engineering room sometime. [ at literally any other time in his life that would be a come-on. science even trumps flirting ok. ]
maybe it thought you would enjoy that 1/4 tag anyway :|
If you want. [Then her head tilts slightly, eyes curious.] So you're a pilot and a scientist?
no subject
eeeeee~ <3
And hey, it's Pidge's turn to light up a little, something that's mostly only visible in her eyes.]
Really? What kind of stuff have you worked on?? Are you familiar with this kind of alien tech?
<3 <3

So that'd be... What, 1940s-ish?

20XX. [
WHATEVER THE YEAR IS FOR THEM BECAUSE WHO EVEN KNOWS] We've just started being able to send explorers out to the edge of Earth's solar system.no subject

Yeah, I guess technically we're still space explorers.

[But back to science-] So being from the '40s and ending up on a spaceship must be pretty crazy for you.

[ just FTR or something ]

On your own? From scratch?

You could probably try making a small shuttle with the tech we have here, then.
