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. ]

...Really? Never?

My first time out of the country's space. That's pretty cool.

[ he's afraid of heights ok. ]

[ladybro]

Not exactly enough time to put on the training wheels, I guess.

[winn]

Look the beauty of the digital age is you don't have to go anywhere.

[ladybro]

I love modernity as much as the next millennial but -- sometimes, you just can't get better than analog.

[ like with opera houses. ]

video;

[winn]

That's when you use your digital to order your analog online.

[ nod nod ]

video;

[ladybro]

Sure, but not all experiences can be ordered online.

video;

[winn]

Enough to keep you busy for 10 lifetimes.

[ladybro]

I wish we had a quinjet. [ ... ] I'd show you how much fun a good flight can be. None of this cramped business-class BS.

video;

[winn]

Yeah...I'm good, really, thanks.

[ cramped business class? if he ever had to fly, he could only dream of business class. ]

[ladybro]

[ she laughs because, guess what: ]

You know, once upon a time I flew on a ship that was literally powered by imagination. Let that sink in for a while.

video;

[winn]

...how did that work?

[ no this is fascinating, kate, he wants blueprints! ]

video;

[ladybro]

They were called Kirby engines. Far-out alien technology, basically. It made cynical ennui a fairly dangerous personality trait.

video;

[winn]

Ok I need to play with one.

[ and by play he means take it apart and learn what makes it tick, not fly it. because flying is horrifying. ]

[ladybro]

Unless my ex-boyfriend shows up, you probably won't get the chance.

video;

[winn]

Your ex is an alien, or alien-tech expert?

video;

[ladybro]

Both? [ for a moment, she sounds uncertain. ] Yeah. He's both.

video; private;

[winn]

[ there's a story there, isn't there. one that they probably shouldn't be discussing on the open network so his first move is to encrypt the feed - even if they drop the subject, he'll just feel more comfortable with it. ]

What -- kinda alien? [ you can't say alien and expect him to not get excited and interested that's just a physical impossibility. no, being in space hasn't toned it down any. ]

[ladybro]

[ she's not too private about these facts, but she's grateful for his consideration. easily, she answers: ] Kree. Their history's a lot complicated. I'm not sure I could be the one to explain it to you.

video; private;

[winn]

What do they look like? Do they have powers?

[ she's rolling with it he's so happy he wants to know everything! ]

video; private;

[ladybro]

Uhm. My ex looks human. But I've definitely seen other Kree that don't. Look -- the thing with Noh was that he was pretty powered even by his own peoples' standards. Nano-bots. Genetic alterations. The guy can lift, like, 20 tons.

video; private;

[winn]

[ he should be impressed. and he is. but kryptonians. ]

Nanobots? What kind of nanobots?

video; private;

[ladybro]

Kree nanobots. And -- uh, as gross as it sounds? Bug DNA. He was more than a little genetically engineered.

video; private;

[winn]

Was it by choice or...?

[ because if it wasn't, that's awful. if it was...what the hell, man? ]

video; private;

[ladybro]

He never really said. It didn't come up -- not often.
