Who: Kate Bishop + YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Yesterday evening.

Want to play a game? [ kate's surroundings are, quite evidently, a lush little corner of málum. the neon-y blue tinge of the bar's decor casts its colour over her features. there's a tall, impressively concocted cocktail at her elbow. ] I mean, I know I do. So here's how it goes: you tell me anywhere you'd rather be but here, with the caveat that it can't just be a home. I think it's safe to say that home is a very understandable answer, but it's also a little too achingly realistic for my purposes. So pick somewhere else. Pick Ibiza. Pick Iceland, if you want.

Well, unless Iceland is your home. Then please refer to rule numero uno. It also happens to be the game's only rule. [ short and sweet, that's our katerade.

and maybe about an hour (and maybe another drink) later: ] ...Does anyone wanna come dance with me?

[ swipe right, dear flooters. swipe right. ]

You want to kiss the Blarney Stone, huh?

[takingkarabusiness]

At least I wouldn't have to bend over backwards to do it.

Are you trying to say my gab isn't gifted enough?

[ladybro]

Far be it from me to criticize your gab, Kara.

[takingkarabusiness]

Anyway, I've had enough wacky Irish mythology tie-ins at home lately.

[ladybro]

You should tell me about it. [ but this is so public! ] Over a drink.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm free right now if you're inviting me.

[ladybro]

Definitely an invite.

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay! See you in a sec.

[ and she's there! once she locates kate, she'll come over and sit ]

Any good answers lately?

[ladybro]

[ a wave. a smile. and kate relaxes in her booth. ]

I talked to a guy who wants to visit a digital city in a game he likes to play. That was pretty quirky.

[takingkarabusiness]

You did say anywhere but home.

[ladybro]

I definitely brought it on myself.

[takingkarabusiness]

Where would you go?

[ladybro]

Paris. [ she smiles. ] Again.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's pretty great.

I might say Hawaii. Beaches for days.

[ladybro]

Unfortunately, Hawaii doesn't check my self-imposed rule box for this game. [ ... ] Not the 'home' rule, but a second rule I gave myself.

[takingkarabusiness]

Ooh, secret rules. What's that one?

[ladybro]

Only cities with opera houses that are worth visiting.

[takingkarabusiness]

Honolulu isn't on the international opera scene?

[ladybro]

'Fraid not. [ ... ] But you were gonna tell me a story about Irish things?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, just that the last people I fought at home called herself Banshee, aka Siobhan Smythe. Turns out she has some kind of crazy screamy power.

[ladybro]

Huh. I'm pretty sure there was an X-Man named Banshee. I wonder what happened to him.

[ spoiler alert, he died. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Um... I think Kitty or Hank mentioned him...

[ he sure did die ]

Anyway, this Banshee is nothing like that. She's obnoxious.

[ladybro]

Loud?

[takingkarabusiness]

Like, shouted me literally through a skyscraper window loud.

[ladybro]

Whaaaaaat -- [ she takes an eager sip of her drink. girl, this is a story. ]
