[ some of you might have seen this username on the network before. she isn't a stranger to responding to other people's messages, nor to holding private conversation but as for addressing the entire network, well. this is certainly a first time.

peggy carter is in her office in the riverview police force. it's a slow afternoon, which is the only reason for this little message, really. ]

They're really quite attached to their celebrations aren't they. If I have to secure another event, be it a dance ball, a speed dating evening or anything that involves ribbons, glitter, gifts and large, outdoor parties, I fear I may have to file a complaint. Honestly now, this is getting out hand.

[ no one needs this amount of cheer, surely. ]

More importantly, I am searching for someone who might understand a thing or two about what makes these little devices tick.

I've been known to enjoy them.

[It's overly formal and not particularly likely to fool anyone who knows him into thinking he's not teasing, but he's not really trying. Mostly he's following Peggy's lead. Like usual.]

I've got a friend who can make a curry that will blow your socks off.

[mannerism]

Well, as excited as I am to have my socks blown off,

[ dry, dry. ]

I feel like the usual place would do for tonight. Your friend's name, however - ?

[ so maybe she takes an interest in his private life, so what. it's every aunt's right. ]

Bruce. [It's accompanied by a fond smile, if not slightly tinged with something unreadable.] He's not here, though, so no worries about your socks.

[mannerism]

[ she knows this smile. by now, she knows when her interventions are needed, subtle or less than. ]

tonight. I want to hear about your friend. and about my comm, for that matter.

[buildsomething]

Yeah, yeah. Yes ma'am. [Now that's definitely all fondness.] Anything else you want me to pick up while I'm at it?

[mannerism]

Surprise me.

[ these might be her famous last words. ]
