[ bless her, but she's figured out these devices pretty quickly. and why shouldn't she? they're only a bare step above her top-of-the-line smartphone. except that thing hasn't been getting service since before the marsiva. and now... ]

So. I've heard it's February 14th. And how good of the Atroma to get me my very own monogrammed ship. Apparently it's the perfect gift for the girl who so recently had everything. [ tacky, much? kate kinda cringes every time she sees her family name on her assigned ship -- regardless of how coincidental it might be. ] Kate Bishop, reporting for duty aboard the SS Bishop. I kid you not.

[ haha, tres funny. ]

Can we change? Ships, I mean. Not that this one isn't lovely, sure. But I'm getting flashbacks to summer camp at Interlochen and my mother writing my name on all my shirt tags.

[ speaking of shirts... ] Rogue? Can you hear me? [ she knows rogue taught her about the locked transmissions, but that still kinda evades her at the moment. ] I think it's time you showed me 'round this space station I keep hearing so much about.

Mm, one was with the help of an alchemist and the other was an elemental mage. [So, probably just a matter of time before she tries to put humpty and dumpty back together again. She doesn't actually call her claws humpty and dumpty.]

Well. [ friendly, but distant. after all, they're still mostly strangers. ] Good luck with that.

Thanks. Not that it really sounds like they're needed here, but if I find something that works out and there's bow potential I'll let you know.

Much obliged. Hell, I'll settle for throwing stars.

If I can find someone to work metal for the claws those should be easy enough. [Not that she expects Magneto to show up. ~~Heh...~~]

I hear there's all sorts of stuff on offer at this station. Have you tried finding, like, a space-blacksmith?

[She laughs softly.] Not yet. It hasn't been priority one. But it might be worth it just to say space blacksmith on the network.

Space-blacksmith, Kitty. You gotta play it up. Really emphasize it. The space part is important. Make it sound like it's underlined.

Right. I'll practice the emphasis before I go around making people think any old blacksmith will do. Maybe I'll hold up a starburst as I say it.

You don't want to end up with some shoddy bronze-age workmanship. Right?

That would be the worst. I can't even imagine. [Looking pretty amused for something that's so terrible.]

No one wants to catch space-Tetnus.

I think I saw an ad warning against that once. [Back when her world still had advertising. It's a Mad World, not a Mad Man World.]

[ she laughs. she smiles. ]

Take care of yourself, Kitty. Lemme know if you need anything -- we gotta stick together, right? Regardless of our worlds.

[There's a nod.] Together it is. [You are officially +1 intangible mutant watching your back, Kate.] See you around.
