[A weekend of lost memories - it sat poorly with her, especially when she went back over her notes and found them missing as well. The dates for the weekend were written in her hand, but anything she'd written had been erased. Or maybe she hadn't written anything. The most concerning thing was that now that the weekend had ended, several people had gone missing or returned. Two days was a long time to lose her bearings and it made her restless. Which was why she'd gone to the shop to look around for anything useful.

Last thing she expected was to find the glove and eyeglass set - something so useful just left here like it was a new toy to be experimented with by anyone in the village. Something about it drew her to using it, but after the first day and the headaches, she realized it was probably something that belonged to someone. Which is why a few days later, after the headaches settle, she asks the village.]

Agent Carter reporting in with a few questions for the village.

One: Has anyone lost a pair of these? [She holds up the sunglasses, labeled ARI on the side to the camera.] I located them in the shop - interesting technology you have. I'd like to return them, if you're inclined to receive them.

[It packs one hell of a punch anyway, and she does not want that anymore. Peggy rubs her temple as he sets the glasses down out of view.]

Two: Sparring partners - hand to hand combat, preferably advanced non-magic practitioners. Willing to train people new to it, but more looking for practice myself. Can also train or spar in weapons - guns or knives specifically.

Three: On a more personal note, to my roommates - if you don't start cleaning your areas and picking up your things, I will do it for you.

[She looks straight into the camera with her usual no-nonsense look in her eyes.]

You will not enjoy it if I am forced to do so.

That is all.

[--And she was gone, leaving him in a vulnerable position. He needed to move before landed another hit...]

[She rolls and springs back up, trying to close in before he can run, but his longer legs give him the advantage of distance. There's space between them now and Peggy stays back, putting her hands up in a defensive boxing stance. Underneath it all, she's breathing hard, but the adrenaline rush of competing against a man again is enough to keep her pushing forward.]

Well done, Mr. Fittir. Ready for the next round?

You kidding?

[Headscratch. Grinning sheepishly, he turned around and faced her. Forcing the space between them was an intentional move on his part that he would have utilized to prep for a charge in any other situation, but the fact that he was fighting an Earthling woman who wanted only the basics gave him reason to pause his plan. While it wasn't magic, it still wasn't standard, and it was clear that he needed to brush up on it more before he tried to fight this woman again.

It had been a long while since he relied solely on the basics. Besides that, he also had his own pride to consider.

He didn't want to lose to someone he had only just met.]

Let's just take a break and try again later-- you look like you've been busy, ma'am.

[A break? Peggy raised an eyebrow, but obliged, lowering her fists but not her guard. It wouldn't do to be lulled into a false sense of security only to be taken off her feet by a sudden rush.]

I put a call out and I received an answer. I prefer to be busy than idle, don't you?

I dunno. I kinda like my vacation, even if it is starting to get boring...

[Hence to offer to teach people the other day. He knew the benefits of training, but also the problems that can be caused by doing too much of it. Training wasn't everything in life.]

Well, I can't very well do my job here, so training and preparing myself for the next time we all get drafted is the next best option.

Not faultin' ya for that-- it's a good plan, with all the unknowns 'round here, but that also means it's a good idea to get to know eachother both on and off the field.

[Peggy smirked a little at that and wondered if this guy knew just how much time she spent combing through all the journals, reading over what everyone was saying. Unprotected chatter was the easiest way to know everyone without them knowing you.]

Like I said - training and preparing myself. The journal is quite helpful in that matter.

Yeah, it can be.

[While he didn't actively read through every entry that he had access to on a regular basis, he understood exactly what she was talking about. Idle chatter on the open lines was an excellent way to keep up with politics within the village. He was simply too lazy and too respectful of his neighbors' personal matters to poke his nose in everything.]

I just prefer doing things face to face like this. It feels more honest and real.

Not all of us can be in the business of honesty, Mr. Fittir.

[But she didn't find her profession distasteful. It was necessary and not something everyone could do.

Carter held her hand out.]

It was a pleasure sparring with you, however. Perhaps we can continue another time?
