on app plans falling through

[spangled]

Hey, it's fine. I'm not exactly rushing to get out there just yet and besides, looking before leaping is always a good idea. Leastways, it's better than having to look over your shoulder afterward.

... Unless you got a parachute handy, of course.

Perhaps your mun needs a little more time before sending you to a place, Captain.

Although it is good to see you here.

[spangled]

Peggy! [ Straightens up a little. ] It's good seeing you here, too.

And yeah, that's what I've been telling her.

[agtcarter]

You can relax, Steve. [It's kind of cute, the way he straightened up like that.]

She'll find somewhere for you. Just continue to give her encouragement and it will work out.

I was accepted at a game just recently myself.

[spangled]

Right. [ A bit sheepishly. What, she has that effect on him. ] I'm hoping it does. Work out, I mean.

-- Really? What kind of place is it?

[agtcarter]

[She just gives him a reassuring smile.] I know what you meant.

I'm on a space ship with no way home. There are others with me and they were taken from where they live. My mun hasn't officially placed me in the game but she will soon.

[spangled]

You usually do. [ He smiles back fondly. Annnd then it fades. ] Wait, hold on. A space ship?

... That doesn't sound like a safe idea.

[agtcarter]

Yes, a space ship. [Peggy can't quite believe it herself.]

It isn't safe at all. Or so I've been informed. [A soft sigh.] No one I know is there.

[spangled]

But how -- [ Bewildered frown, followed by a slow shake of his head. ]

You're sure there's no way of getting back home?

[agtcarter]

Believe me, I intend to find out how I got there.

I'm fairly certain, yes. Unless someone has been keeping information away from me.

Do you mind another Peggy?

[therightpartner]

[Her lips quirk in a faint smile, eyes bright with happiness at seeing him again.] Don't worry, Captain. You'll find the right place eventually.

And if your mundane doesn't have a parachute ready, I'll be sure to find one for you.

not at all c:

[spangled]

[ A little double-take -- and he smiles back, soft and pleased. ]

Much obliged if you did, ma'am. Somehow, I get the feeling I'll need one before long.

Awesome

[therightpartner]

You're welcome, Steve. [The double take causes her smile to widen. She's gotten rather used to that reaction from Steve and has been grateful for the chances she's had to cause him to look at her like that.] Where is your mundane thinking of sending you that you might need a parachute?

\o/

[spangled]

[ He can't help reacting like that around Peggy, just like he can't help smiling back wider now, shrugging his shoulders. ]

Nowhere right now, but you never know with these guys. Might be up on a mountain or something.

<3

[therightpartner]

On a mountain? Then you're going to need more than just a parachute.

I understand how mundanes can be. Mine's been poking around looking for places but I'm not certain if anything has a caught her eye yet.

♥

[spangled]

[ A quiet laugh. ] Hope it isn't a mountain, then.

And mine wishes yours good luck with the search. What kind of place are you guys looking for?

♥

[therightpartner]

We'll find the right gear if it is a mountain. I hope you have good luck finding a place too. [And she hopes that it won't be too dangerous, though that wish won't be realized.]

Mine's not certain yet. She's been looking for suggestions and considering one called Ruby City. I know that I shouldn't think this, but I'm hoping she'll find someplace exciting. And someplace with a few familiar faces.

[spangled]

I'm sure we will. [ Because as far as he's concerned, Peggy is the most resourceful gal ever. Yep. And he's hoping the same thing for her, of course. ]

Exciting's all well and good, but not somewhere ... dangerous, right? Although familiar faces would definitely help.

[liugan]

Or something comfortable to land on.

[spangled]

Or that, yeah.

Although my landings tend to be unlucky in that regard.

[liugan]

You need to learn how to aim better, then.

[spangled]

Kinda hoping I won't have to do that, though. It would involve more ... falling out of things.

[liugan]

Not a fan? What a pity. Though, I suppose that tends to be the case with most of you mortals. Always afraid of the inevitable splat.

[spangled]

Hey, crashing isn't fun. Even if I do have a higher likelihood of bouncing back than the, uh, average mortal does.

[liugan]

No need to lecture me, Captain, I'm well aware of just how much fun crash landing from high places is.

[spangled]

I wasn't lecturing, I -- [ Pauses and ... head-tilts. ] How well aware?
