[The IM starts off with your favorite charming 1940s transplant and his skinny asthmatic best friend looking kind of….sheepish. Well, Bucky looks sheepish and mildly annoyed. Steve is just giving him a Look. Bucky is the one who speaks]

So, uh, me an’ Steve...we don’t really know how to use all this twenty-first century technology and...we. Broke something.

[He holds up an iPod dock that is very much broken]

We thought it was a radio or somethin’. Guess not.

[Bucky goes to cut the rainbow but Steve stops him, giving him another Look.]

And we’re sorry we broke it, an’ that we stole it. [To Bucky:] Aren’t we?

...yeah, that too. [As he cuts the rainbow:] Really, Steve?

... You've never used an ipod before?

[ "21st century technology"? Are they... Amish or something? ]

IM

[wintersergeant]

Well, I've seen one but nope. Guy wouldn't let me touch it, an' probably with good reason. What's that gotta do with this fake radio thing?

[unplucked]

[ She laughs. Yeah, if this is what they do to a dock, then maaaybe getting close to an iPod wasn't a great idea. ]

That thing you broke is an iPod dock-- it's used as speakers to play music from the device, charge it, and depending on the model, can serve as an alarm clock.

[wintersergeant]

[He lets out a low whistle]

I wondered how the guy was able t'use his for music when there weren't any speakers or knobs or anything. An' it's a clock?

[unplucked]

Well, you don't need a dock to play music from an iPod, but it helps. Otherwise, headphones work just as well.

[ She squints. ]

I think it has a display for an alarm clock-- it's difficult to tell from here.

[wintersergeant]

We mighta broke that part....

[The screen bit is cracked, after all]

Headphones?

[unplucked]

Oh dear... what did you two do to it?

[ Throw it against the wall and hoped that made it work?! ]

They're sort of like... mini-speakers you put into your ear so that you can listen to music privately.

[wintersergeant]

Nothin'.

[See this face, Margaery? Total innocence]

What, that doesn't get too loud?

[unplucked]

Just bad luck, huh?

[ And this is the face of someone who's totally not buying it. Troublemakers. ]

Not if you can control the volume, which you can.

[wintersergeant]

How? I didn't see any knobs on the one I saw.

[unplucked]

It's... a button. On the side of the device.

[ The more questions he asks, the more and more her disbelief shows, but she's still smiling. Is she getting pranked? ]

[wintersergeant]

Didn't see any buttons either, but everythin' nowadays is so small so that ain't a big surprise. Huh.

[unplucked]

[ Still not sure what's going on here, but she'll play along. ]

Now you're just starting to sound like my grandfather.

Though he's not nearly as good-looking as you are, rest assured.

What's an ipod? [Curiosity is outweighing the 'help, a pretty girl' factor here]

oh jesus that icon

[unplucked]

[ Yep, definitely pegging them as Amish in her brain. She smiles. ]

It's a device! A handheld device for playing music and games. Some have internet capability, although that's a moot point here.

So beautiful :')

[thestarspangledman]

...Huh. Well. That's handy, I guess, but why d'you need a radio that doesn't work to go with it?

[unplucked]

It's not a radio, it's an iPod dock. You connect the iPod to it, and you can use the dock as speakers or a charging station.

[ She's fighting back a bigger smile. ]

What did you two do to it?

[ Bucky didn't answer, but maybe Steve would. ]

[thestarspangledman]

[He's just going to nod and pretend that makes sense to him. It probably isn't working.]

....Nothin'. [Maybe his adorable winning tininess will make her forget the question! :D?]

[unplucked]

It must be the flimsiest dock ever made, if "nothing" made it crack like that.

[ Still, she's smiling, more amused that neither one was budging. ]

You must be Steve.

[thestarspangledman]

Well, maybe it is, I dunno how these things are made.

[There's a little shy smile.]

That's me, miss.

[unplucked]

[ She returns the shy smile with a bright one of her own. ]

It's nice to finally meet you, Steve. I'm Margaery. I've heard a lot of things about you from Bucky. Good things, of course.

[thestarspangledman]

Well, I'd hope so. Pleased to meet you, Margaery.

[unplucked]

I'd be happy to help with any technology questions that might come up-- I'm no expert, but I know how to work a gadget or two.

[thestarspangledman]

Well, I might have a lot. I'm tryin' to look most of them up in my cabin, but there's a whole bunch of stuff to go through. Bucky knows a little more than I do.

[unplucked]

That's alright, I'm happy to help in any way I can. It's just a shame you can't use most of them here-- have you ever heard of the internet?
