Who: Peggy Carter and YOU.
Broadcast: Video
Action: Starstruck, various locations in the Yadrolla system.
When: First week of May

( --VIDEO )

[ it's been some time since peggy has addressed the network in any sort of wide or public capacity. broadcasting isn't her preferred pastime -- except it can't always be helped, can it? as silly and sentimental as her motivations must be, there's a question she needs to ask the fleet. so she leans back, posture comfortable, in her captain's chair as she addresses her handheld device -- and not, notably, the ship's built-in comms console.

this is far from official business, after all. ]


I don't suppose anyone has got sixpence to spare, have they? [ she pauses, stuck between looking sweet and looking sour. ] A real one, ideally. From Earth.

[ although she's not much of a traditionalist at heart, there are some superstitions worth following -- if only for the hype they engender and the excitement they stir up. for the first time in a long time, peggy misses her mum. ]

And -- [ oh, this clearly pains her to ask ] -- have we got anyone with a steady hand for cutting hair? My usual self-inflicted trim won't do this time around.

( --ACTION )

[ beyond fulfilling superstitious rhymes, there's also some quiet venue-hunting to consider -- not to mention a reception to plan. peggy isn't looking forward to either of these activities. although she can be found wandering on one planet's sandy shores or in another's lusciously overgrown urban jungle, she proves herself quick to approach a friendly face. if only to distract herself from the rather dreary chore of pulling together a wedding celebration with only a week to spare. she'd much rather invite someone familiar for a drink or a stroll than fuss over choices.

but she does manage to do a bit of shopping. she picks up a pair of earrings and examines them with a critical eye. a set of cuff-links, too. or what she assumes are cuff-links. it's tough to be certain on some planets.

and, as always, she can be found aboard the starstruck during evenings. engrossed in paperwork blissfully unrelated to her impending nuptials, perhaps, or else finishing up an exercise routine in the cargo bay with her towel draped over her shoulder. there's not an ounce of uncertainty about her on her own ship; she's perfectly at home within its walls. ]

You know, there's probably a hairdresser somewhere on one of the planets. Just sayin'.

[Sam, here to point out the obvious.]
wingedman: (14)

[personal profile] wingedman 2018-04-30 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not totally sure I would trust anyone here to cut my hair.

[You know, if he had to worry about that kind of thing. Sam just buzzes his every couple of weeks.]

-Wait, no, Jarvis. I would trust Jarvis.

[personal profile] wingedman 2018-04-30 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck with that.

[Although if she usually cuts her own hair...]

Explain the sixpence thing for a dumb American?

[Not to mention one who was born after England went decimal, to boot.]
wingedman: (74)

[personal profile] wingedman 2018-04-30 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Peggy, I'm just walking around with a pocket of English change, waiting to give people sixpence.

[Do you see him rolling his eyes?]

[Sam flips off the video feed and ambles down to the cockpit. God, she's a difficult woman. Which, after a year of acquaintance with Peggy Carter, isn't what one might call breaking news.]

You avoiding saying something over the network?

[Obviously, Sam.]

[ Hmm. ]

I can provide both.
dothelokimotion: (And your children's children)

[ Loki rolls his eyes. ]

Neither does yours.

But I'm not a woman. And at the very least, I have experience with women's hair.

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2018-05-01 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Royal hairstyles, mostly. Braiding, cutting.

[ He shrugs. ]

My mother let me do hers and on occasion, Thor's because he could never sit still and always ended up cutting himself in the process.
wingedman: (25)

[personal profile] wingedman 2018-05-01 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I've spent enough time around Natasha to know that.

[Not to mention Peggy herself.]

It's also real frustrating if you're trying to actually have a conversation.

[He's leaning against the doorframe (or space equivalent, anyway), just waiting for Peggy to spit it out. He might be here for some time.]
dothelokimotion: (Minutes before librarians ate him)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2018-05-01 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't know the saying, but Loki can piece things together via context. ]

I can show you a few examples before we got to work. It is your choice.
wingedman: (05)

[personal profile] wingedman 2018-05-01 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I told you I'm American, Peggy. We don't have sixpence, we threw them all in Boston Harbor.

[Ha.]
dothelokimotion: (Comfort was the answer to all)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2018-05-01 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ Loki shrugs. ]

Let me know when.

[So many (healthy) trees in one place is something of a novelty, so if he's maybe admiring a little more than necessary while doing a little recon...well, who was going to call him out on it?

He's got one of the pads of paper Kara had given him on the closest thing to a clipboard he could find as he investigated some of the more well-traveled areas. He'd intended to use it for his continued attempts at work and note keeping, but the page was far more empty than he normally would have liked. The country boy in him was just a little too distracted by all the nature.

As he cut through into a new area, he stopped short, hesitated, then shook off the nerves that had washed over him and approached the familiar figure he hadn't been expecting to run across.]


It's nice out here, isn't it? Peaceful, but not too quiet.

shopping

[personal profile] outstandingbalance 2018-05-01 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[As always, a new system means stocking up. Indulging in perishable foods. Hitting a few bars and getting an idea what kind of gossip might be around.

And she always keeps an eye open for people she knows.

It's been a while since she and Peggy met in more than passing. Seems like a good time to make contact.]


New earrings?

Mm, not a sixpence, but I've got some yen from Earth! Dunno if that helps any, though.

[She has no idea why home currency would be important, but she figures Peggy's not the type to ask if it isn't important, so. Can't hurt to offer.]

Oh, but if you need your hair done up and don't find anybody better, I know a few things!
