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. ]

[beathach]

Mm, a little bit. All teasing aside, though, that's pretty admirable.

[ladybro]

Oh, absolutely. And as a guy with no tech and no powers. [ ... ] Speaking as a fellow squishy normal, only doing this for a handful of years...

Yeah. Admirable.

[beathach]

That just makes it all the more impressive. When it comes to both of you.

[ladybro]

Impressive. Or foolhardy. Some days, it's hard to tell the difference.

[beathach]

I imagine the uh, powered folk feel the same way sometimes.

[ladybro]

Fair enough. [ ... ] This line of work requires a certain amount of nonchalance about one's own safety.

[beathach]

That's an incredible understatement.

[ladybro]

Like you're one to talk. Probably. The X-Men are always getting into messes.

[beathach]

There aren't a lot of messes for us to get involved in, honestly.

[ladybro]

[ DRYLY: ] Just you wait.

[beathach]

[ha ha ha ha ha]

We just dealt with one. I think we deserve another ten year break.

[ladybro]

Yeah. No. Unfortunately, evil doesn't take sabbaticals.

[beathach]

[a put upon sigh]

I know. I can hope, though.

[ladybro]

...Have you guys got the school in Westchester, yet?

[beathach]

Before we were brought here we were working on reopening it.

[ladybro]

Nice. I've never been, but I've seen pictures.

[beathach]

I haven't heard much about it - I usually just hear about the X-Men, or - versions of me. I'm glad it's there in your world, though.

[ladybro]

Of course! It's famous.

[ infamous, really. ]

[beathach]

Like - famous famous? Or just - famous between all the superheroes?

[ladybro]

Famous-famous, I guess. People know about it.

[ for better or worse. ]

[beathach]

. . . huh.

I guess I can't really picture it. Not yet, at least.

[ladybro]

Give it time. Dream big.

[beathach]

As long as we manage to get it open, I'll be happy. I can dream big after that.

[ladybro]

But first? Here.

[beathach]

Here, and all it's . . . glory.
