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? ]

[ 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?
