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. ]

Then Theon Greyjoy it is, once we find these mythical beasts in space. [All the straight faces in the world.]

[ladybro]

And why him?

[ kate's not the nerd; her best friends are. ]

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

Hmmm, if you have not met him, it would be hard to understand. Let us just say that he goes out of his way to push everyone's patience, because he believes he is due more than he has earned.

[ladybro]

That sounds like seventy-five percent of humanity-and-then-some on any given day.

[tallasaking]

That is true ... but Theon makes it seem like it is a particular travesty in his own case. [A sigh.]

[ladybro]

Is he a silver-spoon sorta person?

[ shut up kate you were born with like ten silver spoons in your mouth. ]

[He frowned for a moment, trying to remember that reference -- before it clipped.] Spoiled? Absolutely.

[ladybro]

Right. Of course. Some people never learn to leap that hurdle, I guess.

[tallasaking]

So people never do. [He sighed softy.] Some people ought to spend more time in dungeons so they can get that weaned right out of them. It did wonders for me.

[ladybro]

For me, it was LA. LA sucked.

[tallasaking]

What precisely is ... LA?

[ladybro]

The city of angels.

[ y u p. ]

And shots of Patron.

[tallasaking]

[... All right, let's go a little further here.]

What is an angel, and what is Patron?

[ladybro]

One of those questions is a lot easier to answer than the other. But Patron's a kind of liquor. I don't know. It was briefly en vogue -- it might not be any longer.

[tallasaking]

I see ... is it good liquor? If it is, I shall have to try it. My friend Jim introduced me to whiskey - quite delightful.

[ladybro]

Ugh. Whiskey. [ ... ] Hopefully, it was at least the good stuff.

[tallasaking]

It tasted fairly good. Should I try Patron and compare them?

[ladybro]

Tequila. [ she clarifies. ] Patron's just a brand.

[tallasaking]

Tequila ... is that what you are currently drinking?

[ladybro]

Sure. Yeah. [ she raises her glass. ] Mixed with other stuff, though. It's a cocktail.

[tallasaking]

[He eyed her glass.] So what does it taste like?

[ladybro]

[she sips her paloma -- all pinks and lime slices. ]

Citrusy. Sweet. Grapefruit and lime. A nice early afternoon sorta drink.

[tallasaking]

Interesting ...

[He tilted his head a little.] Well I am always willing to try something new. How do you make one of those?

[ladybro]

Beats me. I'm not a mixologist. [ actually it's not that hard. probably. ] I'm guessing you just take the tequila, mix it with grapefruit juice, and...maybe a squeeze of lime? Club soda? Something like that.

[tallasaking]

[Out comes the notebook, and then he starts writing it all down.]
