[ Nova walks into the kitchen in her pjs and stops when she sees Kate ]

Kate? Hey...

[ what are you doing here ]

kitchen

[ladybro]

[ she's got her fingers in all sorts of containers, cupboards, and drawers. she's looking for something. ]

Hey! [ small smile, and she whirls around on her heel to better greet nova. ] Have you seen Barton?

[takeabow]

Not between my room and the kitchen.

Can I help you find something?

[ why are you touching all of our stuff ]

[ladybro]

[ she's got the decency to look at least a little sheepish: ] Have you got coffee?

[takeabow]

Yeah. It's behind the rice in the pantry.

[ proceeds to fill up a glass with water and sit at the table ]

Don't you have coffee on your ship?

[ladybro]

I'm on the new one, now. The Blameless. [ she takes the directions as an invite to help herself -- or else (just as likely) clint once told her to help herself if she ever found herself aboard his ship. ]

We're working with the base model of basically everything.

[takeabow]

Didn't want to be Bishop squared anymore?

[ladybro]

[ kate smirks, and pops the lid on the coffee grounds. she give them an appreciative sniff. ]

I jumped at the first opportunity to transfer.

[takeabow]

Why?

[ladybro]

Lots of reasons. [ kate shrugs, but ultimately she appears undeterred by nova's question. ] Because it's a brand new ship -- and that's more appealing than joining some pre-established gang. Because I don't share my name with this one. Because...because now I got someone I know from home aboard.

[takeabow]

[ not clint so... ]

Who?

[ladybro]

[ well! that question could have been expected, but somehow kate is taken by surprise. she's halfway through scooping coffee grounds into the filter when the question comes, so she has a moment to weigh her options. everyone else is calling him logan, even though she can't adapt to calling him anything but wolverine to his face.

so: ] Logan. He's...more a friend of Clint's than a friend of mine. But he's a familiar face.

[takeabow]

[ notices her delay but doesn't know what to make of it ]

Hey, that counts for something. So it's been worth it? To switch?

[ladybro]

It hasn't been without its hurdles. But for the most part, the crew seems...nice? [ her voice pitches ever so slightly higher. as though she can't be certain. ]

[takeabow]

[ notices that as well ]

Wow, that's a real great endorsement.

What's the problem?

[ladybro]

The Big Bad Atroma assigned us a captain, but that got challenged pretty early on. So we held an election before anyone of us really got to know one another -- and I'm not sour over the results [ actually, she'd voted for the eventual winner ] but I'm worried someone else might be.

[takeabow]

That sounds way overly complicated. Also like mutiny. How did that happen?

[ladybro]

Egos. [ why else does anything happen? ] Once the votes were tallied, the then-captain remained the current-captain. So nothing's changed, except he was good enough to entertain the challenge in the first place.

[ and from a demanding teen, no less. one who treated the rest of her crew as little better than 'peasants'. ]

[takeabow]

That can't be good for the overall mood of the ship, though.

[ there's no way her captain would entertain that ]

[ladybro]

Skywalker's a warm-hearted kinda guy. He'll ride it out. [ logan's got the short temper -- and she won't gossip so much as to speculate upon the fight that had happened just before she'd first boarded the blameless. ]

[takeabow]

Well, good luck. Mutiny doesn't sound fun for anyone.

Make some coffee for me, too?

[ please? if you're making it... ]

[ladybro]

[ kate smiles. she nods. ] Sure thing. You got it. [ -- another heaped measure of coffee grounds. ]

How'd you guys get this stuff? Did it come with the fancier kitchen?

[takeabow]

[ nods in thanks ]

Some of it, but I think the captain bought the newest batch with the money she's earned.

[ladybro]

-- Who's the captain?

[takeabow]

Furiosa. Tall, shaved head, mechanical arm.
