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. ]

Wasn't fun.

[residu]

wait are you shitting me

[ Please don't tell him there are literally bug people here ]

[ladybro]

Hand to God. Honest truth. It sucked./span>

[residu]

oh my god i'm gonna be sick

[ladybro]

Look -- it's alright. I promise. That was back home, and in a sorta half-dimension that shouldn't have even existed. They're real, but only for as long as it takes to imagine them.

[ sorta. but she doesn't know how else to explain a mayfly dimension. ]

[residu]

[ You know, Jihwan would be entirely okay if she just...didn't. HAHA. He doesn't want to even think about them, he's already getting queasy. ]

how is a half-dimension that shouldn't exist but does supposed to make me feel better

[ladybro]

Because it's not here, because you'll never have to go there, and because it's something you'll probably never have to concern yourself with.

[ not least of all because the multiverse has been destroyed, back home. ]

[residu]

right
so
dead and gone then? right?

[ladybro]

Dealt with.

Hey. What's your name?

[residu]

close enough.
Jihwan. han jihwan
you?

[ladybro]

Kate. Nice to meet you, Jihwan.

[residu]

you too
how the hellre you so calm about all this

[ladybro]

You sure you want the honest answer?

[ dude you freaked out last time she was honest with you so she just wants to make sure you're up for it. ]

[residu]

[ LOOK space is hard and no one understands ): okay ]

if it involves aliens then no

[ladybro]

I promise no aliens are involved.

[ she lies -- for his own sake! because, hey, her ex-boyfriend is an alien with a spaceship that runs on imagination. probably best to just keep lying. ]

[residu]

[ that's....yes. Do that. Please lie to him a lot. ]

....ok
then shoot

[ladybro]

I guess you could say I handle this so well 'cause I work with a group of good guys who routinely...help out when things to pear-shaped. In space or otherwise.

[residu]

.........

"pear-shaped" as in aliens?

[ladybro]

Or muggers.

[residu]

you mean like a thief?

[ladybro]

[ she leans back in her bar booth, tapping away on her device. ]

Thieves. Terrorists. Crooks. Villains of all stripes.

[residu]

[ WHEW. You know what? Those he can deal with. Those are normal and perfectly acceptable. ]

oh those
That's a little better

[ladybro]

Hey. Jihwan. Do you dance? Please say you do.

[ because he reads like he needs to seriously cut loose. relax a little. ]

[residu]

[ oh my god Kate he literally just at up straighter and went a little pink ]
