Summary: New Year's Eve Party
The Story:

[ Previously in the month all residents received an invitation to a formal event: a black tie affair to ring in the New Year. The ballroom and adjacent areas are decked out for the party starting at eight o'clock sharp, meticulously planned and executed, glittering décor to match the no doubt glittering attire as music pours into the halls from the dance floor.

Bars flank each side, service for all manner of alcohol unless a minor requests something, and the primary setting stage features an enormous clock for the countdown. ]




[ Where will you be when the clock strikes midnight? ]

Comments

[mucked]

You know where my room is.

[ one of the few who do, actually, and that's only because on the very first day she arrived in wonderland peggy had felt safer bringing people to her rather than going out and finding them. back then, it hadn't felt like her room. it hadn't felt like intel worth protecting. ]

Perhaps you ought to come drop some off. Some day.

[morethan084]

[Eyebrows rising up at her offer to come to her room, Daisy lets out a soft laugh as she adjusts the way she's sitting.]

Wow. A dance and now you're offering for me to come by your room?

[Daisy knows that is not what she meant by that, she just felt like being a cheeky little shit.]

[mucked]

I did say perhaps and some day. [ a puff of breath. ] Besides, I've been told I ought to try and be a touch more social. Apparently it's good for my health.

[morethan084]

Oh yeah?

[Considering she had to be told, Daisy wasn’t sure if reading her about it was good or not.]

Who said that?

[mucked]

-- A man who's got no business lecturing me on anti-social practices, I'm afraid. [ a beat. ] Have you met Tony Stark?

[ she doesn't know how 'famous' he is, necessarily, in his own time. ]

[morethan084]

[Daisy nearly chokes on her drink when she mentions his name.

Wiping her mouth with the side of her hand, Daisy only has to look at Peggy to realize she wasn’t being sarcastic]

Yeah. I have. I’m surprised you didn’t put him in his place.

[mucked]

Who says I didn't?

[ -- and then followed the 'advice' anyway. regardless, she rather enjoys the surprise daisy displays. it puts a small smirk on her face. ]

[morethan084]

I would have paid to see that.

[She really would have.]

You knew his dad, right?

[mucked]

[ a soft nod. but then: ]

Mind your tenses, Miss Johnson.

[ because as far as she's concerned peggy carter still knows howard stark. ]

[morethan084]

Right. Sorry.

[Time is confusing okay?]

What’s he like?

[mucked]

[ now, there's a question. peggy could wax almost affectionate when it comes to howard stark. he is of that small small number she could most easily call a friend. even so, she goes for the more pragmatic answer. ]

Devastatingly brilliant. And a hazard to himself, not to mention those around him.

[morethan084]

So, just like his son. From what I’ve seen anyway.

[Daisy realizes, judging by the look on her face and how she spoke about him if something ever happened there. She knew better than to ask though]

Must be weird to see his son.

[mucked]

[ she exhales, almost laughing. ]

Oh -- you have no idea. [ it's possibly been the 'weirdest' of this entire mess. weirder, somehow, than gaining real family in sharon. because unlike her, tony wears his tenderness and his love on his sleeve. it's flinty and its frustrating, yes, but howard's was much the same.

peggy could see through to that soft underbelly almost immediately. ]

For one, I don't want to think about all the wagers I've lost pertaining to whether or not Howard Stark would ever 'settle down' and start a family.

[morethan084]

Well if his charisma is anything like his sons, I can see why you would bet against that.

[Daisy wasn’t blind. He was hot. And smart. Two things Daisy could appreciate.]

I’m glad you came out tonight. For what it’s worth.

[mucked]

Charisma. [ now she does laugh. ] Is that what we're calling it?

[ -- luckily, she's met tony too late in his life to see that same playboy philanderer at work in tony's genetics. indeed, she wonders whether watching the son isn't a bit like watching what the father might one day be.

a blessing and a curse, that. ]

[morethan084]

I mean, it’s one word for it.

[The fact that she got a laugh out of her has Daisy smiling.]

So. You have any resultions for the New Year?

[mucked]

Would it be altogether too optimistic of me to say 'getting the hell out of here' is somewhere near the top of the list?

[morethan084]

Trust me, it’s on the top of my list too.

Maybe Tony will help find a way.

[mucked]

He's trying, doubtless.

[ peggy's trying too -- although her means are different, quieter, and with an unlikely partner. ]

But -- what about you? Got any additional resolutions on the go?
