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. ]

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.

[stupid space reality show]

[ladybro]

[ more like GLORY HOLES. no, that's a bad joke. kate shakes her head. ]

It sucks. But I guess it's not the worst.

[beathach]

It could be a lot worse. I'll take it how it is, it isn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

[ladybro]

Mostly, I'm scared that one of these days I'll forget that people are watching.

[ and she'll thoughtlessly like pick her nose or something. gross. ]

[beathach]

. . . it's, uh - it's easy to forget.

[ladybro]

Too easy.

[beathach]

Incredibly. But I try not to think too hard about it.

[ladybro]

...You know how when you're at the beach, and you get changed behind your towel? That's me, like, every morning.

[ that is, she overthinks it. ]

[beathach]

At least we have our own rooms now. That helps . . . a little bit.

[keep reaching for that bright side, Hank]

[ladybro]

Baby steps, Captain.

[beathach]

[he makes a face]

I was so close to forgetting I was captain. So close.

[he's not serious in the least]

[ladybro]

Really? [ she laughs. ] 'Cause I never am.

[beathach]

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up.

[ladybro]

Look, if you ever need some help...

[beathach]

I know. [he softens briefly] I'll ask.

. . . I mean, unless you mean help handling all the people who keep teasing me.
